A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 22

The other lawyers agreed with the elderly lawyer.

They believed that it was impossible for the Cordova Group to choose them.

Freddy was speechless.

A moment later, Freddy's face darkened. He looked at others.

"Where is your drive and ambition? All of you have been content to stay where you are. That's why our firm has been stuck with mediocrity."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Birds that came forward would be shot first. They didn't dare to speak or stand out.

The silence sent Freddy to an even greater rage.

"Why are you all silent? No matter what, we must have the Cordova Group. Which of you would like to talk to them?"

All the lawyers remained silent.

'Talk to the Cordova Group?'

The silence once again angered Freddy. When Freddy was about to say something, Liana raised her hand.

"Mr. Steele, I'll go!"

The expressions of all the lawyers changed in a subtle way.

Everyone knew how stringent the Cordova Group was when it came to the selection of a law firm. A small or medium law firm wouldn't be considered, unless a prestigious lawyer was sent to have a talk.

Now ... Square Law Firm was not a large firm, and Liana was not a prestigious lawyer, either.

Although Liana was a name known to the industry, there were plenty other names that were far bigger.

Regardless of what the lawyers of the firm was thinking, Freddy felt relieved. As long as someone was willing to approach the Cordova Group, there was chance.

Freddy smiled, "Liana, you are in charge now. As for relevant expenses, feel free to apply to the finance department."

Liana said, "Okay!"

Meanwhile, Liana flashed Audrey a provocative look.

'This time, the odds are heavily against us, but it didn't mean that it was not possible.'

'Since Audrey was able to turn a case that was on the verge of losing into a victory, why couldn't us be chosen by the Cordova Group as its agency?'

'If ... I could persuade the Cordova Group, I would be upgraded to a first-class lawyer, and it was a rank higher than Audrey in Square Law Firm.'

Seeing Liana's provocative look, Audrey felt complicated.

But why the Cordova Group decided to hire a new law firm?

...

President's Office of the Cordova Group.

Bryson had just returned when his secretary, Franco, moved towards him.

"Mr. Bryson, this is the information that you'll need for the meeting. And here is a document that you need to sign."

Franco handed the document to Bryson.

As Bryson walked into the office, he skimmed through it. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he signed his name at the end of the page. Then, Franco handed over other documents.

"By the way, Mr. Bryson, here are the profiles of the law firms. Please take a look."

Sitting down, Bryson glanced over the papers in his hand.

"Where's Square Law Firm?" Bryson asked.

"Square Law Firm?" Franco was surprised.

"Yes, the law firm that defeated Harold."

Square Law Firm had handed in their profile. However, Franco put the document aside when going through the profiles for it was just a medium-sized firm.

Hearing Bryson's words, Franco said right away,

"Mr. Bryson, I have it. I'll bring it over right away."

Bryson took out a few pieces of paper and said, "Square Law Firm and these. Tell them I'll talk to their persons in charge."

"Yes, sir!"

...

Receiving the phone call from Franco, Liana arrived at the Cordova Tower with excitement.

She thought that she would have to go through a lot to get a chance to talk to Bryson. However, Bryson's secretary called her, telling her that Bryson wanted to see her.

Therefore, Liana wasted no time to get here.

She took out her business card, handing it to the receptionist.

"Hello, I'm from Square Law Firm. I have an appointment with Mr. Bryson this afternoon."

After calling Franco for confirmation, the receptionist said, "Hello, please get on the elevator and go straight to the 66th floor."

"Alright, thank you."

In the elevator, Liana looked at herself through the mirror to see if she looked good. When the elevator door opened, she walked out with confidence.

Franco greeted Liana.

"Ms. Liana, Mr. Bryson is in a meeting. Please wait in the reception room for a while."

"Okay!"

Then, Liana was waiting for Bryson in the reception room.

About half an hour later, the door opened.

Thinking that it would be Bryson, Liana stood up to greet him. Then, she saw the person. It was still Franco.

Liana asked in a polite way, "Mr. Franco, has Mr. Bryson finished the meeting?"

Franco said with impatience, "Ms. Liana, Mr. Bryson said that he wouldn't see you."

Liana froze.

"Why?"

"Your firm is in the shortlist because of Audrey Koch. She won against the Harold Neeson Law Firm. If your firm wants to cooperate with us, please send Audrey Koch."

Liana's face turned pale. It was like someone had poured a basin of freezing water on her.

What Franco said was an insult to her.

It was because of Audrey that the Cordova Group nominated their law firm.

Seeing that Liana fell silent, Franco said, "Ms. Liana, I have things to do. I'll excuse myself now."

...

Liana went back to Square Law Firm with disappointment. Then, she went to Freddy's office to explain.

She did not mention that the Cordova Group wanted to talk with Audrey, which was humiliating. Instead, she suggested that Freddy send Audrey over.

Audrey took a small legal consulting case and went to the client's company, which happened to be near the Cordova Group.

As soon as she got off the car, she received a call from the firm.

Hearing Freddy's words, Audrey was stunned.

"What? You want me to talk to the Cordova Group?"

Freddy said a few nice words. Audrey was a soft-hearted person, so she agreed.

"Alright, I'll go, but I can't guarantee you anything."

After hanging up the phone, Audrey pinched her nose. She didn't have a plan.

It was a difficult task.

Just as Audrey was passing the alley leading to the client's company, she was surrounded by several people in no time.

Audrey squinted.

'These people are up for no good.'
