As he did, the still-lit screen caught his eye, and he unintentionally saw the name and affiliation of the person mentioned.
The coach’s skepticism deepened as he recognized the significance of the name.
Larry Wickman, Acting CEO and head attorney of Avery Legal Team. The words left the coach stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief.
His head slowly turned toward the manager, as if it was a moving rusted gear.
Their gazes met, both frozen in ce.
It was as if they were silently asking each other,<i> ’Are we seeing this right? Or is Hera pulling our leg?!’</i>
How could they not overreact?
Larry Wickman wasn’t just anywyer—he was the acting CEO and head attorney of Avery’s in-house legal team, one of the most formidable and feared teams in the industry.
This team was made up exclusively of the elite of the elite, handpicked from across cities and even countries.
Many of their top talents had been poached from prestigious firms around the world and some were sent to their international branches.
It was widely known that the Avery Legal Team never lost a case, and their reputation for meticulousness and thorough preparation was almost legendary.
Some even joked that they could read minds because they always seemed two steps ahead—prepared with a counterargument before the opposing attorney had even spoken.
Most attorneys in the industry steered clear of going up against Avery’s legal team, and especially Larry Wickman, who had earned a fearsome reputation for being ruthless when necessary.
One case in particr solidified his notoriety.
In a high-stakes corporatewsuit, apany attempted a hostile takeover of one of Avery’s subsidiaries.
The opposing attorney had resorted to bribery and perjury, using forged evidence in a desperate bid to win the case.
It was a move that could have caused serious damage to the tune of $30 million if sessful.
The subsidiary had fallen into an intricate trap, and without concrete evidence, it seemed they were on the verge of losing.
But Larry uncovered a single piece of key evidence—an inconsistency buried deep within the filed affidavits.
This discovery unraveled the entire scheme, exposing multiple discrepancies and leading to the truth behind the takeover attempt.
Not only did Larry win the case, but he also ensured the opposing attorney was jailed for bribery and perjury, cementing his reputation as a legal powerhouse.
Larry Wickman was even able to prove that the real evidence had been tampered with and destroyed.
Luck was on his side when one of the key individuals in the opposingpany, suspecting he might be scapegoated by his higher-ups, secretly kept copies of all the data that crossed his desk.
His instincts proved right, and when thepany tried to frame him, Larry managed to convince this key figure to testify as a crucial witness.
His testimony exposed the perjury and falsified evidence, turning the tide of the case.
Though the oue might seem straightforward, the opposingpany had used numerous underhanded tactics and covered their tracks exceptionally well.
It was Larry’s sharp attention to detail and ability to connect the smallest dots that made the difference.
He noticed things that others missed, and though luck yed a part, it was Larry’s skill and tenacity that ultimately secured the victory.
After this case, Larry Wickman’s reputation skyrocketed within the legalmunity.
Many individuals with questionable dealings grew wary of crossing paths with him, while numerous business leaders sought to lure him away from Avery with enticing offers.
Even those who couldn’t sway him to join their ranks hoped he would represent them in court, knowing the frequency of legal battles in the business world.
However, Larry and his elite legal team were exclusively dedicated to serving the Avery Consortium and its subsidiaries.
They only took on cases outside this scope if personally requested by Old Master Avery or the Consortium’s sole heiress.
Not even the top executives of the Avery Consortium or political leaders could sway the Avery Legal Team—especially Larry Wickman.
He answered only to the direct descendants of the Avery family, his dedication unwavering, much like Butler Alfonse’s loyalty.
The Wickman family had a long history as attorneys for the Averys, and over the years, they had weathered many storms.
Their refusal to serve other families made them a target for disgrace and scandal, as rivals sought to undermine them.
This deep-rooted loyalty stemmed from a pivotal moment in their history: the Avery ancestor had once saved the life of Larry’s great-grandfather when he was but a little boy, who was not only Hera’s great-grandfather’s close friend but also the Wickman family’s sole heir at the time.
This act of kindness cemented their bond, and ever since, the Wickmans remained steadfast in their loyalty to the Avery family.
Now, Hera was handing over Larry’s contact information to the NRT manager as casually as if she were distributing cabbages on the street.
Naturally, both the manager and the coach reacted with astonishment and strongly.
Everyone coveted Larry’s contact details, but he never shared his number with anyone.
Before they could fully process this mind-blowing turn of events, the phone the coach was still holding rang.
The two exchanged wide-eyed looks, as if they’d seen a ghost, before bursting intoughter like silly children.
They quicklyposed themselves and stood up straight, trying to regain their professional demeanor.
The manager answered the call, noting theck of a caller ID and showing it was a private number. "Hello, this is Danny Coleman speaking."
A warm and friendly male voice resonated from the other end. "Hello, Mr. Coleman. My name is Larry Wickman from the Avery Legal Team. Young Miss Hera asked me to assist you with the breach of contract penalties you’re currently facing."
"The camera footage that serves as evidence of your team’s non-fault has already been cleaned up and sent to me by Sasha. I’ve reviewed the footage, and it clearly shows that your management was not at fault, giving us a strong case against your former team if they refuse to settle."
