"Lawyer Hu..." Nina smiled.
She knew that Lena had Milo Hu and Jackson Smith as her team of lawyers, but how did Connor Park from the Zhao corporation get here too? Connor has a big success rate as the other lawyers.
Nina did not think that Lena was such a cunning lady that need to have so many men around her. "Lena must be very good in bed.... it will only be soon when I will expose her." Nina showed no fear of the three men.
"I didn"t think Miss. Shen that many lawyers to defend her? Doesn"t that only show how much she is using money and power to win this case?" A reporter pointed out.
"Money..? Power...?" Milo laughed. "I don"t even represent the Shen company. I am an independent and private lawyer... it takes more than just money and power to get me into a stupid case like this. Anyone with good eyes can see who is duping who."
"shouldn"t you leave that for the court to decide?" Nina interrupted him.
"Yes, indeed, Lawyer Long. My team will see you at the first hearing tomorrow at noon. Good luck." The three of them walked past Nina as she just stood there and watched them go inside.
She needs to hurry back and make sure her evidence is strong and has no flaws. She entered her car as her driver drove her back to the Long Law Firm.
On the way there, she immediately called someone.
"What happened?!" Nina shouted over the phone.
"What happened? I should ask you what happened instead?!" A man"s voice shouted back.
"You were supposed to make sure the Zhao did not get involved in this. That was part of our deal."
"Deal? You said that your family will have my back, and yet, when my father went to show me around the company yesterday, all he did was remind me that I must work hard to support Ming Zhao when he takes over the company!"
"You"re so useless. My family support you yet you can"t even do one thing right... what makes you think that you can even take over the Zhao company, Mike?"
"Don"t test my patience woman." Mike threatened.
"Forget it, I can still win the case with another lawyer on her team."
"Aren"t you overestimating yourself? Lena isn"t even pulling the full card, she"s just playing softly on you. If she wanted to, she would have the Li Legal team defending her, yet she went for second rate lawyers."
"Tsk..." Nina bit her nails and she contemplates how to deal with this. "I will just go with plan B."
"You have a plan B?"
"Of course." Nina smiled. "I would still need your help though."
"Why would I help you?"
"Becuase I know where your brother is hiding your wife and child. If you want that information, you need to help me."
"Fine..." Mike gritted his teeth. This woman was venomous. "What do you need me to do?"
"You"re not CEO yet... but you are still head of the research team. I need you to---" Nina continued to talk to Mike about what she needed him to do. But what they did not know was that someone was listening to their conversation.
Daine greeted the three lawyers and lead them to a meeting room where Lena and the two main designers of SHYNE were.
Lena welcomed all of them. Jackson will be representing LUX while Connor will be representing the defense of Alice Zhao.
"The initial hearing will be tomorrow since the other team wants to rush the case." Milo started.
"And everything is prepared?" Lena asked.
"Yes, the evidence from the leak from LUX and our proof of authenticity from the designers are also secured."
"I have a feeling the other team will backout from the hearing," Connor spoke. "We will also prepare if they wish to negotiate instead of bringing this to the court too."
They continued to explain the steps and progress with the ladies. They want to make sure all of them were prepared in any case they were approached or questioned at the hearing.
It was a long day for Lena but she made lots of progress. When she left the company to go home, the new headline was how handsome the team representing SHYNE was.
She kicked off her shoes off once she entered her apartment. She immediately went to her room and got ready to take a shower. Lena had never experienced something big like this before, it was exhausting.
Lena turned on the shower and let it run as she closed her eyes and try to enjoy the peace. She should take a long vacation with Kris after this. Maybe they should go to visit her family and see how her Aunt"s pregnancy is.
Lena"s mind wondered back to how Zhao Lin knew that her Aunt was pregnant. Maybe her Uncle Ma already knew and is already bragging about it. Not as many people were able to have that many children.
At that moment, her beautiful peacetime was interrupted by an abrupt opening of the shower doors.
"AH!" Lena got spooked, covering herself with her hands.
"Let me join you." Kris smiled.
Before Lena could reply, he already took off the towel that was covering his lower half and entered the shower with Lena.
"You look tired." Lena looked at him.
"How can I sleep when my girlfriend is out drinking with a hot stranger yesterday... and how... she even add three more men to her side! What am I supposed to do when my woman is surrounded by hot men?!"
Lena put her hands around his neck and pulled him closer to her. "Obviously something they can"t do...." She looked down his naked body and smiled.
