Chapter 826: Chapter 826 Who is the Most Powerful_1
Old Master Simonson had a sense of the situation and didn’t take it too seriously, chuckling as he teased Autumn Carter, “Autumn, being able to solve cases at such a young age is truly remarkable. You must learn well from your sister, and one day beco a great detective!”
“No, no, no, no…” Autumn Carter waved his hands repeatedly, “If I beco a detective, what will happen to the vast Carter Family estate? No, it won’t work. My grandparents said that I’m supposed to be a female tycoon in the future. Detective gas are just for playing when you’re little.”
After saying that, he let out a heavy sigh and continued, “No wonder Conan stays an elentary school student forever. It seems that one really can’t be a detective when they grow up; those famous detectives seem to be quite poor…”
Laughter erupted from everyone around the dining table.
Purple Sumrs, who had been in a gloomy mood for many days, couldn’t help but brighten up a bit, feeling that the childish words had a special healing power.
The matriarch also forgot the brief displeasure, laughing and saying, “Autumn, you could be a wealthy detective!”
...
Autumn Carter thought about it seriously, then chuckled happily, “Grandma, you make a very good point!”
The laughter broke out again.
The atmosphere at dinner was rarely this good, so Violet Nelson seized the mont, smiling as she said to Caitlin Carter, “Speaking of the case, it happens that I recently t a friend whose uncle is a very famous lawyer within the industry. He has fought many lawsuits. Auntie, would you like to ask for you?”
Caitlin Carter was slightly taken aback; she had already entrusted the case to Purple Sumrs, and it was a case of too many cooks spoil the broth to hire another lawyer, which would seem disrespectful to Purple Sumrs.
Moreover, when her younger brother had an incident years ago, the Carter Family had hired two lawyers, both top-notch in the industry with dazzling resus, yet they still lost the lawsuit in the end.
Caitlin had lost any interest in the so-called “very famous within the industry” rhetoric and was about to politely decline when Old Master Simonson, intrigued, asked, “Oh? Which prominent lawyer is that?”
Violet Nelson smiled and said, “Great Uncle Simonson, you might not recognize his Chinese na, but you’ll definitely know his English na. He served as a senior consultant at WK Law Firm in the United States, nad Rieste Lawson, with the Chinese na Jas Lawson.”
“Rieste from WK Law Firm!” Old Master Simonson indeed showed a trace of surprise, “Oh, has he returned to the country?”
“Yes, he quit his job abroad and ca back ho to start his own law firm.” Violet Nelson looked at Caitlin Carter, “I just happen to have an appointnt with my friend and his uncle for tea tomorrow afternoon. Aunt, would you like to co with ?”
At that mont, for so reason, Purple Sumrs looked up at Violet Nelson.
Violet’s voice was soft and her eyes smiled, “Auntie, it’s okay if you’re busy. I just think it’s a rare opportunity. Just eting him and having a chat won’t do any harm…”
“Since it’s a rare opportunity, then you should go,” Old Master Simonson said. “Rieste is quite skilled, known to have an unbeaten record. He has handled several rgers and acquisitions disputes for multinational corporations, but I’m not sure if he can display his full abilities in a criminal case.”
With Old Master Simonson having spoken, Caitlin Carter couldn’t easily refuse and subconsciously glanced at Purple Sumrs.
Purple Sumrs wore a faint smile and said, “Yes, Mr. Rieste might offer so different perspectives. It would be good to have a chat.”
Autumn Carter, being young, hearing the adults speak like this, instinctively asked, “Sister, is that Mr. Rieste really amazing? More amazing than you?”
“Pff!…” Violet Nelson couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Even Old Master Simonson felt the two could not be compared. One was a top figure in the industry, and the other had just passed the judicial examination; the difference between them was overwhelming.
Caitlin Carter’s face turned red with embarrassnt, feeling that her young niece had misspoken and caused embarrassnt for Purple Sumrs.
Just as she was racking her brain on how to smooth things over, she heard Purple Sumrs say softly, “Autumn, rember, it’s very difficult to judge if soone is capable. You must consider all aspects, but to the parties involved, whoever can win the lawsuit for them is the most capable person.”
