Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 706 Five Times the Price

Charles had just returned to his cell when a guard opened the door again, announcing that someone wanted to see him.

"People who know me might understand I'm being detained, but those who don't might think I'm on vacation, with all these visitors dropping by every day," Charles quipped as he got to his feet.

The guard scolded him, "Less talking. Move."

Charles walked out and was escorted by the guard to the visitation room again.

Charles exited his cell and was escorted by the guard back to the visitation room.

As he walked in, he wondered who it could be this time. When he saw Beathan standing by the iron bars, he paused. "It's you."

Since Charles' trouble began, Beathan had been quite dedicated to helping him.

At first, Beathan had helped Charles secure loans and then sought out potential solutions. Even when rumors started spreading that Charles was facing arrest, Beathan had tried to use his connections to protect him.

However, the amount involved was too enormous, and the consequences were too severe. Even Beathan couldn't shield Charles anymore. Eventually, he had no choice but to step back.

Beathan got straight to the point and said, "Authorize me to be your defense attorney. I'll do my best to get you a lighter sentence."

Charles nodded. "Thank you."
