Second Marriage novel Chapter 449

“There are so much, my God.”

Lexi looked at it in disbelief with her eyes wide open.

“This, this is all your work. How come you have so much work?”

Alice smiled and softly said, “My brother collected them. Most were already displayed. Some had been bought, but some had been collected after once display.”

“Wow, goddess, your brother is really good to you.” Lexi could not help but cover her chest. She did not expect that a cold man could be so considerate.

What should she do? She felt like she was going to like him...

“Let’s.” Alice took inside, “I designed this dress with a lot of efforts, but it had not been displayed after the production so no one had seen it before. I would like to give it to you as an apology.”

Looking at the dress with three-dimensional starlight effect, Lexi was moved and almost cried.

“Goddess, you are so good. I did not expect that I can wear the precious dress designed by my goddess in this life. I should have saved the galaxy in my last life! Goddess, I invite you to attend the press conference, come together with me!”

Alice thought for a moment before she nodded, “Ok.”

Then she said suddenly, “Can I bring one more person with me?”

“Yes, you can bring whoever you want.”

Lexi looked the dress and only starlight was in her eyes.

Alice also took a look at it.

Probably it was the fate. When she designed this dress, she felt she liked it a lot, because it was different from her previous works, so she kept it for appreciation. She did not expect that she would give it to Lexi today.

Perhaps, everything was doomed!

Lexi accepted the dress, but she did not take it away but left it there, saying she would come to put in on on the day of the press conference.

Alice agreed. After Lexi left, she went back to the company.

When she got back to the office, it was nearly the end of the day. She packed up her things and was ready to go out, but the lawyer came in.

“I'm sorry, Miss Nelson. I'm afraid I can't do what you entrust.” The lawyer came in and got straight to the point. “The Moore Group was not willing to give in, and... I think it would be better if you talk with them yourself.”

Hearing that, Alice paused and then said, “If I talk with them, so why should I hire a lawyer?”

That was true. The lawyer's face went pale and he could not say a word for a long time.

Finally, he placed the document on the desktop and spoke.

“Anyway, I can't take this case. Miss Nelson, please hire someone else.”

“Lawyer Chang.” Alice looked at him indifferently, “Before taking this case, you have known who the other side is and signed a contract with me, so now do you want to break the contract?”

“So what if I break the contract? Wouldn't it be worse if I lost my job over a contract?” Lawyer Chang directly put a card on the table, “Besides, you broke contract with the other side too. Can’t I break the contract? I'm willing to pay the penalty.”

Alice, “...”

She looked at the card on the table and raised her eyebrows, “Three times the penalty?”

“Exactly.” Lawyer Chang nodded, looking at that bank card and feeling pain in heart.

Fortunately, the lawyer's fees were not particularly high, so he could afford to pay three times as much. He felt sad for this morning, but it was nothing compared to his future.

“That is it, I gotta go.”

Before Alice could say a word, he had always walked out.

Alice picked up the bank card to have a look after he left.

So, was it an unintentional profit?

As much as she didn't want to earn it, but what could she do now? Alice put away the bank card and then walked out of the company.

The second day

“The lawyer called me and said he had already paid the liquidated damages and would not accept the contract anymore.” Yanis ran in and said, “What's the matter? This is too much, because it is Kennedy, so he doesn’t care about his professional ethics?”

Hearing that, Alice put down the pen in heard, “It is not his fault, it is the other side is difficult to deal with, and even if it is solved, I'm afraid it will happen again.”

With that, Alice opened her bag, took out the bank card and placed it on the table.

“This is the liquidated damages that that Lawyer Chang paid, transfer the money to the company as funds.”

Yanis stretched out to take the car, “He really paid? Three times of it? I think it's millions. Oh, my god. Is a lawyer that rich? Don’t he feel distressed about it?”

Hearing that, Alice could not help but smile, “For him, future is much more important than this.”

Originally, if he gave more due diligence, Alice would not regard him breaking the contract and would not request to pay the damage, but he flinched too soon and had not paid efforts. Before signing the contract, Alice had told Yanis to tell him this case would be very tricky and do what he could do. If he was confident, he could accept the case.

Lawyer Chang accepted it but in a short time, he gave up.

“We earned millions for doing nothing, but what are you going to do about the contract? If the Moore Group is not willing to break the contract, will you have to face Kennedy?”

“Put it on hold.” Alice sighed, “I have no other way, but he would not bother me these days.”

“Well, we can only do that for the time being. Other matters are important. By the way, I haven't been able to do what you asked me to do, and it may have to wait.”

“Ok.”

As they spoke, the office door was pushed open.

It was Winnie. She took one look at both of them and came in with an envelope.

“What's the matter?”

“I was given an envelope when I came in. I was told it must be in your hand.”

With that, Winnie took the envelope forward and put it in front of Alice.

“What is it?” Yanis could not wait to open it.

The envelope was large and thick. Because Yanis' action was urgent, the photos inside fell out over the floor.

They were stunned and then squatted down to have a look.

“Isn’t this Kate?” Yanis looked at the person in the picture with her eyes wide open, “It is weird, who sent this envelope? What did he want?”

Alice took over the picture and said after a while, “What else is inside besides the pictures?”

Yanis fumbled inside and her face changed, “And this.”
