A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 120

Audrey's words were tempting to Josh and Blair.

How could they not be tempted? They could obtain a patent for the research and development of their product without spending a dime. Meanwhile, they could win the lawsuit and even avoid a large amount of compensation.

Blair narrowed her eyes and looked at Audrey, "Audrey, how can I believe that you really intend to help the Stanton Group? Furthermore ... how can you convince me that you can help us win the lawsuit?"

This was exactly the question Josh wanted to ask.

Both of them shot a doubtful gaze at Audrey.

Audrey said calmly, "Of course I have my own way. If I can't win the first trial, I will quit my job forever."

To a lawyer, this was almost a sacred vow.

Josh and Blair looked at each other.

Blair received her father's gaze and looked at Audrey poker-faced, "Audrey, I need to discuss with my father. After that, we will decide whether to hire you or not."

Audrey raised her eyebrows and smiled, "No problem."

Audrey put her business card on the desk.

"This is my business card. There is my phone number on it. Call me any time when you reach an agreement."

After Audrey left, Josh's face darkened, and said, "This lawyer is too young. How can such a young lawyer help the Stanton Group win the case?"

Blair muttered for a moment.

"Dad, actually, this Ms. Audrey is really a bit extraordinary. She won all the cases she took over. Last time, she was Mr. Zachery's lawyer representative against the Four Seasons Group."

Josh had heard about the case between the Four Seasons Group and Zachery.

He was slightly surprised.

"Are you saying that she was the attorney for Zachery's Company?"

Blair nodded, "Although I had problems with Mr. Zachery, I have to admit that Audrey does have some tricks. If she becomes the lawyer of the Stanton Group, she might really win."

Josh still hesitated.

"I'll try contacting the other famous lawyers first and make a decision afterward."

"Alright!"

...

It was already noon when Audrey left the Stanton Group.

Audrey went to a restaurant nearby for lunch. It was still early after lunch, so she went to a shopping mall to buy some daily necessities.

Now that Lance was still in Peace City, she was not able to return to her apartment for a while. She left in a hurry when she went to the Cordova Mansion. She did not take many things with her, but she was too embarrassed to ask the Cordovas to buy anything for her.

However, just as she arrived at the entrance of the mall, she saw a lot of people gathered around as well as some journalists.

Was someone coming to the mall?

She heard some people discussing as she passed by the crowd.

"Why is the mall so busy today? Is someone coming?"

"Don't you know? It is the president of the Munn Group coming for the opening ceremony of its brand."

Audrey looked up and saw that there was indeed a red banner in front of the mall. It was the sign that the Munn cosmetics entered the mall. The opening date was exactly today.

Oh, what a coincidence.

It was Toby, her father. It had been a long time.

But as much as she knew, Toby couldn't appear in front of everyone as expected and be photographed with flashlights. This was because Toby had an eye disease. Once he was flashed, his eyes would feel uncomfortable and the vision would become unclear for a while.

Audrey looked around and saw two people quietly walking past the crowd with heads down. Wasn't one of them Toby?

Audrey sneered and quickly walked to the reporter's side, pointing in Toby's direction.

"Well, is that President Toby?"

Audrey's voice managed to attract the reporters' attention to Toby's side.

Toby wanted to sneak into the mall to avoid the reporters' flashlights, but he didn't expect them to discover him. He was already surrounded by reporters before he could check the person that exposed his identity.

"President Toby, your company's brand store opens today. Could you please say a few words?"

"President Toby, I hear that your company is currently engaged in a lawsuit with the Stanton Group. Is it true that your company is suing the Stanton Group for infringement?"

"President Toby, Wendy is your company's ambassador. Is she present today?"

The reporters' questions came one after another, and Toby had to stand still and answer their questions.

By the time Toby was finished, it was already half an hour later.

Toby pressed on his uncomfortable eyes and followed his assistant into the mall. The staff inside immediately stopped the reporters from entering. Toby took the opportunity to walk to the safe area and head to the elevator.

Toby entered the elevator and there was already a woman inside. Then the woman was suddenly off-balance. Toby's assistant was pushed out of the elevator at the moment when the elevator door closed.

Toby did not notice it even though he was standing in the elevator.

"President Toby, I am a big fan of your company's products. May I ask you a question?"

When Toby heard that she was a customer of his company's products, he turned around with a smile. However, his eyes could only catch a blurry figure.

To be polite, Toby still looked at her face even though he could not see her clearly.

"Is that so? Then I'm very happy to answer your question."

When Toby's gaze fell on her face, Audrey's emotions went wild.

It had been six years. She hadn't seen Toby for six years.

Six years ago, she wanted to get along well with Toby because he was her biological father, even though Toby always disliked her.

But what she had in return was Toby's humiliation again and again.

Her wonderful father went so far as to send her abroad to live all on her own after she was framed by Wendy.

Toby never asked about her afterward.

Audrey's heart ached more than ever when she thought about the years she had spent abroad.

Audrey smiled and asked, "President Toby, your company's Pearl in the Palm series is specially designed for young girls. It's tailor-made for your daughter, right?"

Toby smiled and replied, "Yes."

Audrey sneered.

"Then I have another question, President Toby. I hear that you and your ex-wife also have a daughter. She is your eldest daughter. Does the Pearl in the Palm Series refer to that daughter?"

Toby's expression changed and his voice sharpened when Audrey was mentioned.

"I only have one beloved daughter and that is Wendy. As for that disobedient daughter, I don't know where she has gone to enjoy herself. She's not my daughter."
