Chapter 272

Chapter 272:

Eileen’s life had been entangled in the web of Denise’s various actions. Should Denise persist in her maneuvers, Eileen resolved to initiate legal proceedings to hold her accountable.

“By the way, the apartment your mother resides in is registered under Benita’s name,” Julio reminded her as Eileen brought up where Denise was living.

Eileen was well aware of this but responded with a hint of regret, “We lack the concrete evidence to prove that the apartment belongs to Benita. If this matter gets exposed, Benita can easily deal with it. Without solid proof, I might provoke a counterattack from the Freguson family. Without tangible evidence, going against the Freguson family seems impossible.”

Phoebe suddenly chuckled. “If the lawyer’s letter is issued from Julio’s office, we don’t need evidence. If he says it’s Benita’s, then it’s Benita’s.”

Benita Freguson? Julio Freguson? Eileen began to piece together the puzzle. Onaland’s social circle was not expansive; two individuals bearing the Freguson surname likely came from the same family. But since they were kin, why would Julio assist her in dealing with Benita?

Recalling Phoebe’s remark about the lawyer’s ability to infuriate Benita to the core, Eileen speculated boldly that this was an internal strife within the Freguson family. However, considering it was their private affair, Eileen pondered for a moment and said, “As long as it doesn’t cause any trouble for you, Julio, you can include this point in the lawyer’s letter. Benita instigated Denise, and she owes me an explanation.”

“Not only is it no trouble, but it will also make me feel much better,” Julio assured her, his fingers dancing swiftly over the keyboard as he incorporated the point about Benita.

In a mere half-hour, Julio had crafted the lawyer’s letter and invited Eileen to review it.

Legally speaking, if Denise persisted in her demands, Eileen was obligated to provide her with only a minimal living allowance. If Denise continued to spread malicious rumors, she would face legal action.

Meanwhile, Benita was accused of bribing and instigating Denise. Since Denise resided at her place, Benita owed Eileen a reasonable explanation.

If Benita failed to explain, she would have to issue a public apology.

“Everything looks good,” Eileen said after thoroughly reading through it, appreciating the letter’s meticulous construction. She then posted the lawyer’s letter on all her social media platforms.

Julio also posted it on his law firm’s website, standing publicly by Eileen and revealing the truth.

Although it was late at night, the lawyer’s letter quickly spread across major platforms.

After managing these matters, Julio’s phone rang. The room was silent, making the voice on the other end distinctly audible.

It was a woman. Her tone was gentle, and Julio’s eyes reflected tenderness.

“Julio, don’t worry. I’ll be home as soon as I finish up here…”

Seeing this, Eileen gathered her belongings and signaled to Phoebe that they would depart once Julio completed the call.

Julio, ever considerate, concluded the phone call with a few comforting words. “Juli, it’s late, and I’m sorry for disturbing you at this hour. We can discuss the fees another day. Thank you for your dedication,” Eileen said, rising to leave.
