Who is she talking to?
Everyone was befuddled when Arielle suddenly said that.
Promptly, the doors to the meeting room swung open to reveal a middle-aged man. There was a pair of gold rimmed glasses perched on his nose and a briefcase tucked under his arm.
âWho is this?â Oliver asked when the stranger entered.
Before Arielle could introduce him, Southall Groupâs lawyer rose to his feet. âMr. Kane, why are you here?â he cried out in surprise.
âYou know him?â Oliver looked at the man with confusion.
âHe is Aidan Kane, a personal lawyer from Nightshire Group. Earlier, he has recorded everything that youâve said. Henceforth, all of your statements have been listed into a contract,â Arielle explained.
Oliverâs and Jacobâs eyes widened in shock.
Since they were unaware of Arielleâs relationship with Vinson, they were stunned that Arielle managed to hire the personal lawyer of Nightshire Group.
The lawyers from Nightshire Group were renowned for their skill as they had never lost a case before.
Moreover, only those with Nightshire Groupâs authorization could enlist the help of these lawyers.
It looks like we have underestimated Arielle.
Oliver and Jacob traded glances with each other. Immediately, they decided to form a temporary alliance against Arielle.
âArielle, arenât we all members of the Moore family? You should call me your uncle.â Oliver smiled slyly.
Arielle was not convinced by Oliverâs attempt to sway her. âUncle, where were you when Henrick and Cindy murdered my mom?â she asked without batting an eyelid.
âR-Right now, we are picking the new chairman!â Oliverâs cheeks flushed crimson red as he skirted around Arielleâs question. âDonât mention any topics that are unrelated to this election!â
âAll right, then letâs proceed with the matter at hand.â
Arielle beckoned to Aidan with a wave of her hand. Immediately, he handed her a file and bowed respectfully.
Although everyone else didnât seem to think much about Aidanâs respect toward Arielle, the lawyer representing Southall Group was terrified out of his wits.
Aidan was known as the best lawyer in the industry. Even though I had the opportunity to shadow Mr.
Kane in the past, Iâve never seen him treat a person with such reverence. Wait a minute, I remember it now. He only treated Vinson with this sort of respect! What on earth is Arielleâs relationship with Vinson?
Immediately, his lawyerâs intuition told him that Arielle was no ordinary woman.
Southall Groupâs lawyer quickly decided to side with Arielle.
and tossed it in front of Oliver and Jacob.
âWhat is this?â Jacob felt his skin prickle with unease.
On the other hand, a look of contempt and disdain flitted across Oliverâs eyes.
What is she trying to prove? Sheâs nothing more but a foolish young girl.
Without hesitation, Oliver grabbed the file and opened Upon opening, he found a certificate inside the file.
When Oliver read the words stamped on the certificate, he was rendered speechless with shock.
The words âGraduation Certificateâ were stamped on the piece of paper.
This canât be⦠Isnât Arielle in her first year of university? Why does she have a graduation certificate?
Unable to stand the suspense anymore, Jacob snatched the certificate from Oliverâs grasps to read it.
When Jacob read the words, he was so shocked that his legs gave out. Promptly, he collapsed into his seat.
This man is useless. Oliver sneered before he grabbed the certificate to read it in greater detail.
A few moments later, Oliverâs entire body stiffened with a palpable sense of dread.
I have underestimated Arielle. Not only did she graduate from Maxwell University, but she even obtained a double major in economics and physics!
