Chapter 215
Chapter 215 The result of the preliminary round had just been announced two days ago, but Jamie’s lawyer had already gotten the word that Catelyn was disqualified due to plagiarism. It was obvious to her that they did their research and came prepared! Catelyn could no longer tolerate their persistent attacks. She decided to have a conversation with Jamie, face-to-face. Catelyn walked out of her apartment and heard the honks of the car. Following the sound, she was led to a familiar Bently.
Cedrick had one of his arms down the window as he waited for Catelyn in the car.
“Cedrick, what are you doing here?”
“I’m here to fulfill my promise to you.” Cedrick opened the car door and got out of the car. He tilted his head ever so slightly and smiled. “I heard that you’ve asked to meet Jamie in person for a negotiation. Hop on, I’ll go talk to him with you.”
Catelyn blinked, appearing to be touched by his action as she spoke, “Really? Thank you for coming along, Master Cedrick.” Cedrick chuckled as he held onto the steering wheel, though his smile was not as earnestly happy. “Isn’t this one of our conditions?”
At the lawyer firm within a business district. There was a heated debate going on in the conference room. Jamie and his team of lawyers were attacking Catelyn. She listened carefully to their conditions with caution and lingering fear.
There was no mention of Miles’ identity.
Catelyn gazed casually at Cedrick, who sat opposite Jamie. Cedrick was wearing a white shirt, the leisure clothing clung lazily onto his toned body, his hair short and fresh. His signature faint smile was present on his face as he stared nonchalantly at Jamie.
“Uncle Cedrick, I’m aware of your seniority as well as your position in the Mason Family, but this is between me and Catelyn, and you have no right to get yourself involved in our private lives!” growled
Jamie confidently, with his team of lawyers covering for him. Even if Catelyn asked for Cedrick’s help, Jamie had collected enough evidence to support him. He was determined to get custody of Miles! Cedrick lifted the cup of tea off the table and took a sip before he turned around to face Catelyn. “The tea tastes pretty good. Have a sip.”
Catelyn nodded as she took a sip of the tea.
It was just the usual buckwheat tea, though. There was nothing special about it. “Uncle Cedrick, if you insist on getting involved in our matter, I have no choice but to face you in the law!” “Don’t say I bully you because of our difference in seniority. You were given a chance.” Cedrick set the teacup down on the table, and his gaze was cold.
The moment the cup met the table, making a faint thud, the door to the conference room was pushed open. A handsome figure walked into the room.
Following closely behind were a few men dressed in similar suits with briefcases and folders in their hands. All of them walked in with confidence and faint smiles on their faces.
“Apologies for our tardiness, but the traffic was pretty bad on our way here.” Benjamin walked with poise as he buttoned up his suit and smiled politely at everyone in the room.
‘Benjamin Anderson? ‘Didn’t he leave the country?’ “You couldn’t be any later than this,” remarked Cedrick nonchalantly. Benjamin replied with his usual polite mannerism intact, “Are you going to pay me if I arrive earlier?”
“No. But I’m more interested in talking to your mother about her life plan.” Benjamin glared at Cedrick in silent frustration. ‘What a great friend I have here! The lawyers that Benjamin had brought with him
waited sternly, unlike the pair who were joking around with each other. The air in the conference room tensed in an instant.
