Chapter 308

Jared was silent for two seconds before he replied, “Yes, but don’t panic, Yuliana. We don’t know what’s going on now. Christopher knows what he should and should not do. It can’t be him.”

“Panic? Should I be panicked?” she scoffed inwardly.

Yuliana pursed her lips tightly. Her face looked pale. She looked outside the window and stared at those men and women coming in and out of the City Hall. Jared’s words made her feel ironic.

She smiled faintly and said, “He always knows what he should or should not do, but it depends on the matter.”

Jared was stunned and said nothing when she heard what Yuliana said.

Yuliana brushed her emotions away and said, “Jared, I called Layla and Joyce, but none of them answered the phone.”

Jared explained, “Since the news leaked last night, many media reporters called them nonstop to find out about the situation. They have been calling so frequently that the phone will blow up. I’ll give you a new number.”

At the moment, Jared was not in Juxshire but in Jeahron.

He did not know anything until a friend asked him about it in the morning. He then tried to call Layla to confirm it, but just like Yuliana, no one answered the phone.

It was Layla who took the initiative to contact him and asked him to make a trip to meet with a few well-known lawyers in Jeahron.

Those lawyers were the best in the industry. Before Layla called him, she also contacted those lawyers.

But somehow, those lawyers refused to take Christopher’s case.

So Layla called him and asked him to meet those lawyers in person.

Jared was considered a great figure in the academic circle and had a vast network of contacts.

A friend of his in Jeahron was familiar with one of the lawyers and had a good relationship. That was how he managed to make an appointment.

When Yuliana called, he was on his way to meet the lawyer.

Jared quickly sent Layla’s number to Yuliana.

Yuliana dialed the number, and the call was answered immediately.
