After She She Stopped Loving Him

Chapter 133

Leon recognized this lawyer in an instant and went completely silent. He knew for sure this wasn’t the kind of guy Yolanda could buy off–not when he was the ace of Sinclair Group Legal Department.

He shot to his feet, looking panicked. “Mr. Maine, I was just kidding carlier. Are you sure you’ve got the right guy?”

Mr. Maine glanced around. “Ms. Grant has already submitted the required paperwork. The court’s taken the case, and you’ll get the summons within five days. I’m her attorney–she sent me to notify you. Better line up your own counsel now, don’t go claiming she’s picking on you.”

Leon’s face turned dark in a flash. With Edward not picking up the phone, he didn’t dare act recklessly. He snatched up his coat and rushed downstairs, hurrying back to Sinclair Group as fast as he could.

Folks at Starlight felt like they’d been riding a rollercoaster all day, but when some recognized the lawyer, their eyes went wide with shock.

“Damn, is that Jason Maine? He’s the head honcho at Sinclair Group Legal Department. I’ve seen him interviewed a bunch of times,” someone whispered.

“Jason Maine? You mean the same guy who totally crushed a veteran attorney two years ago?” another person jumped in.

“Yeah, that’s him. His takes are always fierce and spot–on. Last year, he represented a business owner who’d been owed public funds for over a decade–and when someone with deep connections threatened his life, Sinclair Group hired him right when things got dangerous to protect him. If Yolanda didn’t have some major influence, there’s no way she could’ve recruited someone like him.”

Jason didn’t bother with the gossip–he just turned and left without looking back.

Yolanda was still lying in her hospital bed, with Charles already off at the office. Right now, Ian was there by her side, keeping watch over her.

Ian sat beside her, spoon–feeding her the soup he’d brought. When he heard the doctor mention her low blood sugar, his face instantly darkened and he banged the spoon against the bowl in frustration. “Your husband’s rolling in cash–is he rationing your meals or something?”

Yolanda’s lips curled into a faint smile as she glanced at the clock. “His assistant’s dropping by later. It’s probably best if you head out before he gets here.”

Ian pressed his lips together and lowered his gaze. “Yeah, I know I’m not exactly someone you want hanging around.”

Yolanda felt a pang of guilt. Ian had been working his ass off filming lately, so it meant he couldn’t hang around her that much. Still, he texted her constantly–she just hadn’t gotten around to replying today because she’d been busy.

Ian had puppy ears, they’d totally be drooping
