Chapter 964 Failed Partnership

Mavis was speechless and thought that he was brainless. It was obstruction of justice to bribe a

lawyer!

“What's more, he doesn’t know who Walter is and what he’s capable of. He won't be bribed so

easily.’

"I'll introduce you to a lawyer. If they pursue the case, give her a call.” Mavis took out a pen and

wrote down Shandra Cullen's contact information.

Among everyone in A City, Shandra was the only one who could put up a fight with Walter.

Steven frowned and looked at Shandra's contact information. He was miserable.

Mavis saw his miserable face. Although she knew that he could not escape the lawsuit, she still

wanted to win the project to prove that she was better than Bianca. She pretended to be optimistic

and said, "Steven, don't worry. Shandra is really good. She wins almost every case she takes on,

but..."

"What?" Steven was hanging onto her every word.

Mavis said, "She's picky with her cases. However, if you tell her that the lawyer representing the

other party is Walter, she'll take your case.”

Steven touched his fat chin and asked curiously, "Why is this? Did something happen between

them?"

Mavis was too lazy to explain it to him. "Why does it matter as long as she can help you win the

lawsuit? Steven, I need to head off. Have fun. I'm going to get the bill. Do you want me to ask the

two ladies to come back in?"

Steven was no longer in the mood. All he wanted was to contact Shandra and get the matter sorted.

His beer belly shook as he stood up and said, "No, Ms. Laviere. You've caused me such trouble, I

don't think there's a chance for a partnership for us.”

He blamed the lawyer's letter on Mavis. He would not have hesitated for so long if they did not hike

up the price on purpose.

If he had not hesitated, he would not have had dinner with Bianca and Nina.

When Steven left, Mavis was enraged and did not hold back. "You fat *ss! How dare you blame me

for your horniness?! I shouldn't have recommended Shandra to you. You deserve the lawsuit!"

After Steven left Gravity, he immediately called Shandra.

Shandra was taking on a lot of lawsuits and currently working overtime. She wanted to turn Steven

down, but when she heard that the lawyer representing the other party was Walter, she hardly

considered it before saying yes. She shared the address of her office and asked him to come over

immediately.

Steven wanted to get the lawsuit out of the way, so he asked the driver to send him to the lawyer's

office.

Shandra sat across from Steven, handed him a cup of coffee, and said, "Did you bring the lawyer's

letter?"

"I have it here.” Steven was in awe of Shandra's beauty but did not dare to think about it. He needed

her and worshipped her as a god.

He could not afford to lose this lawsuit as he would end up with nothing.

Shandra quickly scanned through the lawyer's letter and frowned as she asked, "Did you do

anything to Bianca and Nina?"

"l didn't! It's slander!" Steven denied the accusation.

Seeing his twinkling eyes, Shandra put down the lawyer's letter and asked, "If you want me to help

you fight this lawsuit, it's best you be honest. Did you or did you not do it? What did you do?"

Steven was stunned and had no choice but to confess under her watchful eyes. "I touched their

hands and waist. It's not that big of a deal!"

"If the two of them were bottle girls, it wouldn't be a big deal,” Shandra said coldly and sipped on

her coffee.

Steven seemed to be the kind of man who took advantage of women. He had chosen the worst

person he could lay his disgusting hands on.

As a woman, Shandra hated men like these. If the other party had hired Walter as their lawyer,

Steven would never win!

Steven was speechless. He picked up the coffee cup and took a big mouthful before asking, "What

should I do now?"

Shandra asked, "Do they have any evidence against you?"

Steven remembered Jason's words. There was security footage that captured him taking advantage

of Bianca and Nina.

"Is there?" Shandra asked. It was a simple question but he was taking a long time to answer. She

thought that it was a waste of her time.

"Yes," Steven replied, "But I didn't go overboard..."

"When you chose to do it, you should've known that there was no going back. The judge won't

judge you based on how many times you touched her," Shandra stood up and said indifferently, "I

can't help you with this case.”

Steven was stunned and replied, "Why?! Mavis said you can help me win the lawsuit!"

"I'll only stand a chance to win if there's a chance to start with. No one can help you with this case.

They have witnesses and evidence. Mr. Steven, I suggest that you apologize to Mrs. Crawford. If Mr.

Crawford insists on holding you accountable, no one can help you," Shandra said and gave her

assistant a look.

Her assistant turned off the recorder. There was no chance of winning this case. This wretched man

was wasting their time

Steven was in despair and said, "Is there no other way?"

"Make your most sincere apology but don't have too much hope. As a man who loves his wife a lot,

Mr. Crawford will never allow anyone to take advantage of his wife." Shandra's words were

reasonable. Although she wanted a showdown with Walter in court, this case was doomed from the

start. She was not stupid enough to let pride get in her head.

Luke and Bianca returned home and started working.

Bianca knew that Luke would have a lot of things to attend to since he left work early to pick her up.

She tiptoed over and gave him a gentle kiss. Then, she turned and walked into the children’s

bedroom.

After the three children were asleep, Bianca sneaked a look when she passed by the study and saw

that Luke was still working.

She went back to the bedroom, took a shower, and sat on the bed to read.

When Luke was done with his work and went into the bedroom, Bianca was leaning on the bed and

yawning.

Bianca rubbed her eyes and smiled. "My love, are you done for the day?"

"Yes. If you're sleepy, why did you stay up?" he asked.

Bianca felt a little bit more energetic and answered, "Nothing to worry about. Do you want to take a

bath? I'll fill the tub with hot water for you."

"No need for that." Luke sat on the edge of the bed, bowed his head, and kissed her pinkish cheek.

Luke did not want to keep her up knowing that she could barely keep her eyes open. "Go to bed

first. I'll go take a shower.”

Bianca thought about it for a while and then asked, "What are you going to do about Steven?”

She felt that Luke did this also because of Brilliant Architectural Design LLC.

Luke did not have to send Steven a lawyer's letter if he wanted to make his life difficult.

Luke's deep-set eyes showed a hint of playfulness. He squeezed Bianca's face while admiring how

smart she was.

He wanted to make things difficult for Steven, but not in this way. This was just the beginning.

"I'll leave it to you to decide how you want to proceed with this,” Luke said.

"Luke, I'm glad to have you in my life.” Bianca held him, raised her head, and looked at his defined

jawline.
