Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Be Careful, I May Sue You
Ruby Green had not yet found a way to deal with the Stone family when the day of Jackson Taylor’s trial arrived.
In the past few days, the mother and daughter clearly felt that without Jackson Taylor, things were much more troubleso for them.
Especially the situation with the Green family.
Previously, with Jackson Taylor around, any minor incident at the Green family, the mother and daughter could receive the news imdiately, no matter where they were.
So, at Rose Taylor’s request, Lincoln Green hired a good lawyer from Gills City for Jackson Taylor.
The three of them all arrived at the court.
Abigail Green ca to accompany Aunt Claudia. Naturally, she was also there.
Seeing the three of them enter from a distance, surrounded by bodyguards, she glanced faintly and squeezed Aunt Claudia’s hand. “Don’t be afraid.”
Aunt Claudia nodded. “I’m not afraid.”
She had suffered so much in the Green family. Now that Abigail had found the best lawyer in the country for her, an old lady like her had nothing to fear.
Seeing this, Abigail’s smile softened a lot.
At this mont, Lawyer Jones walked in. Abigail went up to greet him, “Lawyer Jones, thank you for your help today.”
“It’s my duty, Miss Green; you don’t need to be polite.” Perhaps because of Abigail, Benjamin Jones was very polite to her, completely different from his cold and distant deanor towards others.
Abigail smiled happily. “Then please make sure to win, Lawyer Jones.”
After saying that, she even gave Benjamin a mischievous wink.
“I will.” Benjamin was stunned for a mont, then nodded restrainedly.
This scene was noticed by Ruby Green, who snorted mockingly. “A fat flirt, aren’t you afraid of disgusting others?”
Abigail: “…”
She and Benjamin could be considered old friends. Even though he was a few months younger than her actual age, he had always been rigid and serious since childhood, like an old man. She used to love teasing him.
Later, they both studied at Yale. She studied dicine, and he studied law. Although they were both busy, they would always have a drink together whenever they had ti. She encouraged him like this the first ti he served as a defense lawyer.
Now, in Ruby’s words, how did she beco a flirt?
“This lady, please wait.” Just as Abigail felt both angry and amused by Ruby, Benjamin called out to Ruby before she could say anything.
Ruby was in a wheelchair today. Just monts ago, she was behind Benjamin, only admiring his tall and noble posture and regretting that he was Aunt Claudia’s lawyer. Seeing Abigail winking at him, she sneered and had Diana Edith push her to the audience seats. Suddenly called out, she turned back disdainfully and was stunned.
She really did not expect Aunt Claudia’s lawyer to be so outstanding.
Although not as bewitchingly handso as Brandon Piers, he was certainly not bad.
With his chiseled features, a refined, stern look, a ticulously worn suit, and an aura of restraint, he exuded the hormones of a mature man.
“You… you called ?” Ruby’s tone unconsciously softened, gazing dreamily at Benjamin.
“According to Article 246 of our nation’s ‘Penal Code,’ the cris of insult and defamation involve openly insulting others by violence or other thods or fabricating facts to defa others. If the circumstances are severe, the offender shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonnt of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance, or deprivation of political rights,” Benjamin stated emotionlessly.
“What do you an?” Ruby was a bit puzzled.
“This lady’s behavior just now has constituted an insult to Miss Abigail Green.” At this, Benjamin looked at Abigail. “If you want to sue her, you can co to .”
Ruby’s mind suddenly cleared, and she glared fiercely at Abigail.
Abigail, also taken aback by Benjamin’s action, soon rembered his temper and laughed heartily.
anwhile, Benjamin was already walking towards the plaintiff’s seat.
Abigail looked at the livid Ruby. “Be careful, or I’ll sue you.”
Ruby: “…”
