Chapter 798


    Sasha argued in agitation, “Since you already know that, you shouldn’t have allowed him to drive around


    —after all, he just returned and isn’t familiar with things! This incident only happened because you failed


    to discipline your son! Am I wrong?”


    Chloe was suddenly at a loss for words.


    Minerva pouted by the side as she said, “Whatever it is, it’s already happened. What are you trying to


    say by bringing this up now? You’re right—Tate was involved in a small ident, but how is it right for


    that worthless husband of yours to be taking the opportunity to scam money off of us? Hmph, he’s taking


    advantage of a disaster—that’s what it is! People like him are the worst!”


    Sasha was overwhelmed with frustration, and she snapped through gritted teeth, “That’s enough! Go


    ahead and settle this yourself if you don’t believe Mr. Manning. Like I said, I’ll only contribute a total of


    1.6 million! Anything more than that is on yourselves!”


    With that, Sasha stomped upstairs in a huff as well.


    Chloe’s face was scrunched up in displeasure as she left. “Seriously, what’s with her?”


    Helen waved a hand at Chloe repeatedly to calm her down. “Come on, don’t take it too personally. I can’t


    even deal with her these days. It’s all Matthew’s fault—she’s been deceived by him! All right, Helen. We


    should settle this for Tate as soon as possible.”


    Chloe immediately replied, “It’s no problem. I’ll give my husband a call right away and have his


    company’swyer take care of this. Hmph, let’s see what they have to say if it costs less than 1.6


    million!”

    Minerva wasn’t holding back as well. She said, “Oh, that’s right—Sasha said earlier that she’d only


    contribute 1.6 million. Since that’s the case, she’ll have to give us 1.6 million no matter how much it


    costs!”


    This woman had already taken everything into ount and nned to keep the extra money to herself.


    Thus, Chloe made a call to Jonah and he started making arrangements immediately.


    When she heard that, Chloe leaned back against the sofa triumphantly. “You see, Helen? My husband is


    most dependable when ites to settling problems. The localw firm that theirpany works with is


    none other than the leading one in Eastcliff. Once their attorney takes the case, there’ll be nothing to


    worry about! Just sit back and wait for the good news!”


    Meanwhile, Helen nodded in agreement with a look of anticipation on her face.


    About an hourter, Chloe’s phone rang with Jonah’s iing call. She broke into a huge grin and said,


    “I think it’s settled, Helen.”


    She picked up the call. As soon as the line went through, Jonah’s enraged voice rang through her


    speaker. “W-What have you done, Chloe? Why are none of thewyers in Eastcliff willing to take our


    case?”


    Chloe tensed up as she replied, “W-What do you mean?”


    Jonah said in a panic, “I’ve just talked to some of thewyers from the firm, but they’re all unwilling to


    take this case. After that, I contacted many otherw firms as well. Eventually, I heard from a friend that


    thewyers in Eastcliff have alle to an agreement to boycott our family’s case!”


    Chloe was still stunned with shock. “H-How can that be possible?”


    Jonah frowned deeply on the other end. “I even heard that you’ve offended a well-known and influential


    attorney in Eastcliff; that’s why he’s messing with us behind the scenes. Is that true?”


    Just then, Chloe’s expression darkened. “It can’t be… A-All I did was kick Mr. Manning out—you know,


    thewyer from yesterday night!”


    Then, Chloe recounted the happenings of earlier.


    Jonah was livid after hearing her story. “My goodness… Why are you so foolish? We’re not even the


    ones who are paying, so why are you so fussy about it? Even if the price is one billion, it’s on the


    Cunninghams—why did you have to offend him?”


    Chloe said, “That’s nonsense—however you put it, this money is still from my sister’s family. Mr. Manning


    was obviously colluding with Matthew in the dark to scam her. How can I sit by idly and watch my sister


    suffer losses?”


    Jonah was beyond speechless. He sighed and said, “Forget it, I’ll just keep trying. Goodness, you’re


    such a busybody!”


    After hanging up the call, Chloe became restless.


    After all, it’d truly be troublesome if none of thewyers in Eastcliff were willing to take their case.
