Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 119

Chapter 119 Suck-up

Chloe covered her face in embarrassment, gritting her teeth as she complained inwardly,’ What’s wrong with this guy? He’s so insensitive. It’s one thing to not show any concern, but why would he add insult to injury by comparing my face to a pig’s right now?’

Joseph entered his study and closed the door before dialing Samuel’s number.

Samuel found it unusual to receive a call from Joseph, and thus, immediately put down the files in his hand to answer. “Hey, what’s the matter?”

“Can we expedite the court hearing for Chloe’s case?” Joseph got straight to the point without wasting any words.

A complex expression flashed across Samuel’s face. “This is the reason you called me?”

“Yeah.”

“You haven’t fallen for her, have you?”

Joseph was taken aback for a moment. He instinctively denied, “I just want to help her.”

Samuel fell into silence, contemplating the situation. His close friend was undoubtedly a business genius, yet when it came to matters of love, he was quite clueless. Unbeknownst to

him, the fondness men develop for women often begins with a sense of empathy and

compassion.

Nevertheless, Joseph was his best friend, and he could not bring himself to refuse when he asked for help.

Samuel asked his assistant to bring his itinerary and carefully examined it. After contemplating for a while, he said, “No, the earliest possible date is in July. I can’t expedite it. The court isn’t under my control. It not only requires my availability, but the files also need time to be submitted and reviewed before scheduling the hearing.”

Joseph loosened his tie and unbuttoned his collar. “How much would it cost for you to take on such a case normally?”

“Typically, it would be around 1 to 2 mil. And for more challenging cases, it could go up to 7 to 15 mil.”

“I’ll give you 15. Find a way to arrange Chloe’s case for mid-month.”

Samuel shook his head in refusal. “It’s not about the money. Although I have a good relationship with the judge, I can’t do that.”
