Chapter 261

"You startled me! For a second, I thought someone had broken into your house." Vince hadn't expected the man in front of him to understand sign language.

Just then, The Zimmerman Group's chief legal counsel, Mr. Marquis, walked in.

"Mr. Zimmerman, good afternoon."

"Marquis, please, come in."

Vince gestured for Marquis to step inside.

Hearing Vince address the newcomer as a lawyer, Herbert couldn't help glancing at Jessica.

Jessica pressed her lips together, a little embarrassed. She hadn't asked Herbert for help—instead, she'd had Vince find her an attorney. Who would've thought they'd bump into each other like this?

Herbert had already told her he wasn't afraid of Timothy, but she'd gone to someone else anyway. He was bound to misunderstand, to think she didn't trust him. For a man, that sort of thing stings the ego.
