Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 1127:

Once the call ended, Marshall turned to Eric, pondering their next move. “Who should contact Cristian, you or me?” Eric and Cristian had a more personal connection. This connection was evident as Cristian had agreed to manage Eric’s divorce before, a relatively straightforward matter for such a high-profile lawyer.

Eric’s expression grew tense, his throat moving as he swallowed. “I’ll handle it,” he replied, standing to make the call.

He quickly dialed Cristian’s number. “Cristian, it’s Eric.”

Moments later, Eric ended the call and turned to Marshall. “Cristian’s on his way to the station now to meet with Denver.”

“Got it.” Marshall quickly sent a message to Denver to inform him. “I’ll let Denver know.”

The room then filled with an evident tension. Marshall and Barrie shared a meaningful look before turning their attention back to Eric.

With a quiet intensity, Eric swirled his drink, his elegant sips masking his inner turmoil.

Breaking the silence, Marshall addressed him, saying, “Eric, try not to worry. Cristian hasn’t lost a case yet.”
