With no other options, Nicole turned to Raegan for support.

At the café, Raegan held Nicole's hands, her concern evident. “Nicole, you look thinner.”

Nicole gave a weak smile. “Currently, I’ve put on a bit of weight compared to before.”

The weight Nicole had gained under Roscoe's meticulous care had disappeared due to the recent stress and strain of not seeing her son.

Raegan shook her head. “I see there's something you need my help with. Just tell me.”

After Nicole detailed Jarrod's plan to fight for custody of Austin, Raegan's anger boiled up inside her, her fists clenching. “Jarrod is a true monster! He has done nothing for your son, and now he comes to you and wants to take him away from you, denying you visitation rights. Who does he think he is?”

However, there wasn't much they could do. Jarrod had the paternity test in his possession, along with Nicole's past medical records and details of Wesson's financial troubles, including Nicole's incarceration after being wronged. Any of these factors could cost Nicole her custody rights.

Nicole's last hope lies in Jarrod's mental health issues. If he went to court, his condition could prevent him from being the sole caregiver.

“I understand. You need a lawyer, correct?” Raegan asked.

“Exactly. “I need someone who won’t be intimidated by Jarrod and who has experience in custody cases.”

“I know the right person.” Raegan produced a contact, quickly explaining the situation. The lawyer agreed without hesitation.

Nicole was still worried, remembering how even the well-known and wealthy lawyer she had initially hired had eventually backed out.

Raegan reassured her: “I have given him your details. He will be ready to help you with the legal process next week. Don't worry about your qualifications. He used to be a legal advisor for the Dixon Group, but he went abroad to study for various reasons. “His experience is beyond question.”

Knowing that the lawyer was part of the undefeated Dixon Group legal team put Nicole at ease. And with Raegan's backing, it seemed unlikely that she would be swayed by Jarrod.

Nicole grabbed Raegan’s hand, expressing her gratitude: “Raegan, I really appreciate your help with this.”

Although Mitchel and Jarrod had been close friends, their career paths had diverged years ago as they pursued different career paths.

However, in their personal lives, there were still some commonalities between them.

When Mitchel's previous lawyer faced Jarrod in court, their relationship was affected somewhat.

“Don't worry about it. Austin is my godson,” Raegan said seriously, smiling at Nicole. “Mitchel values ​​​​justice over personal relationships. He probably won't mind. “He might even try to talk some sense into Jarrod.”

Nicole let out a sigh of relief. “Thanks, Raegan.”

Raegan gave Nicole’s hand a comforting squeeze. “Don't stress. I kind of know Jarrod. He definitely wouldn’t want Austin in his care.”

Shortly after, Nicole was contacted by the attorney Raegan recommended to her.

“Miss Lawrence, hello, I’m Rhett Bates. Please call me Rhett.”

Rhett was direct and professional, avoiding the usual flattery of other attorneys. He quickly got to the point. “Miss Lawrence, I have reviewed your case thoroughly. Right now, your only advantage is the mental health issue of the child's father. Without that, winning this case would be nearly impossible.”
