Hunter replied with a fake smile, âSince the client managed to find me and trusts me, I naturally have to
do my best to win the case.â
âItâs interesting that you say that.â
Axel crossed his legs and appraised Hunter like he was a criminal. â
Those who can hire Mr. Lovett here to defend them are eith powerful. It looks like the threshold for
becoming your clie high.â-
âNot necessarily. Although I might be managing the firm, the fir mine alone. Not only do I have to make
sure the two other shareholders get their dividends, but I also have dozens of lawye under me to feed.
Iâm also just a working man. I canât help it.â Hunter sighed dramatically.
Ugh!
When Axel, Ralph, and Bella heard these hypocritical remarks, they nearly vomited their food back up!
How was it that Hunter and Steven were so different despite both. being Mr. Lovettâs sons?
âYouâre a top-tier lawyer in Savrow now, Hunter. Youâre well-known even nationally.â
Steven, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke with a cold. laugh. âOf all the cases you took
this year, the lowest professional fee you charged was $2 million, and the highest was $15 million, and
thatâs just your personal earnings. It doesnât include the commission those lawyers under you get.â
The dining hall suddenly fell silent.
Wyatt and Neil also stopped chatting and looked towards the younger generationâs side of the table.
âSteven, mine and the law firmâs income is a private topic. We shouldnât be talking about this here, now
should we?â Hunter spoke stiffly as his smile faded. The movement tugged at the wound had been
covered with foundation.
âIâm only saying all this to illustrate one thing-which is that you lack money. In fact, youâve even saved
up to the point most norm people wonât be able to finish spending in their lifetime.â
Steven let out a soft laugh. âSo, I donât understand. Now that money as a reason has been eliminated,
why is it that you took the Salvadors, case despite knowing they were on the opposing side of Ms. Bella
and are working against her?â
The rest were shocked.
What a fellow!
Tonight, Stevenâs nickname had to be âMr. Righteousâ. He was ju here to screw his brother over!
Now that Steven had exposed Hunterâs hypocritical nature in front of everybody, were the two brothers
really going to turn on each other?
Bella had not even given Steven a single glance throughout the whole night.
At the moment, she wore an icy expression as she looked up impassively. Her clear and cutting gaze
fell on his face.
She knew Steven was speaking up for her.
But she did not want him to do this, and she did not need him to do this either.
âSteve! You canât air your grudges right now, even if you have them you have anything to say, we can
talk about it at home.â Clarence tugged at Steven under the table, sweating nervously.
But it was like Steven wore an iron mask over his handsome face, clearly having no intention of letting
up on Hunter.
Hunter had already lost the ability to control his expression, and it was so ugly that he looked like he
was seriously ill.
âSteve! Donât talk about that here.â
Neil reprimanded Steven sternly and turned to give Wyatt a bitter smile. âIâm really sorry, Chairman
Thompson. It seems my sonâs manners are lacking. Iâm sorry you have to see this.â
âOh, youâre fine.â
Wyatt remained calm and composed, a slow smile spreading acros his face. âI watched Steven grow
up from a young age, and heâs always been by Asherâs side, working. Later on, he went on to assis
Bella. Heâs a capable young man with a good character. I like Steven very much, and Iâve always
thought of him as a godson. I know very well what heâs like, so I didnât take it to heart at all.â
Godson?!
Wyattâs casual remark had given Stevenâs status a huge raise and a huge buff, while giving Hunter a
heavy blow
