Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 197

Not just Ethan, but Alice was also shocked. She’d heard of Lawyer Henry, he was renowned and formidable. Even the Alice family’s lawyer stood up, flustered “Mr. Henry, I didn’t expect you to be the opposing counsel. I apologize

“No need to apologize. We’re all just doing our jobs. Please, sit down,” Henry said calmly, walking over to Alice Ms. Alice, I’ve reviewed the documents. What’s your desired outcome? Alice hadn’t expected such a high–profile lawyer. This Was Ethan interjected,“Alice, think carefully. Your second brother is willing to give you the company. Is that less than Maple Leaf’s salary?”

sure win.

Alice looked at him. You didn’t say that earlier. His flip–flop was breathtaking

Ethan glanced at Henry. He didn’t want to, but if this lawyer was involved, they had no chance of winning. This lawyer worked exclusively for the Wilson family and never handled small cases. And this case had nothing to do with the Wilsons. Did Alice hire him? Impossible!

Alice saw the panic on her brother’s face.“I want to win, and I want the guilty party to pay.” That was all she wanted.

Luke stared at Alice, disbelief etched on his face. He hadn’t expected her to be so ruthless. Ethan slammed his fist on the table. “Alice, if Mom and Dad knew you’d put your own brother in jail, would they rest in peace? Luke played with you when you were a child. Don’t you remember?

“I remember,” Alice said. She remembered everything: the Alice family’s treatment of her, and her death in her past life. She owed them nothing.

Before she could reply, Henry slammed his own fist on the table.“Mr. Ethan, you cannot threaten or intimidate my client.”

“She’s my sister. I’m advising her.”

“Ms. Alice is an adult. She’s not the Alice family’s pet. Nobody gets to dictate her decisions,” Henry retorted.

The lawyers argued, Henry rejecting a pre–trial settlement.

Ethan was speechless, turning to Luke. I tried my best. With Henry here, we’ll lose.”
