Married a Secret Billionaire

He knew the latter would not come to his insignificant abode for nothing. After all, he came here for the sake of Cordelia.

“Z.” Fredric chuckled awkwardly. “Don’t tell me you want me to take this case for Cordelia? You know my principal when it comes to lawsuits. This is just…”

“That’s all.” Marcus was expressionless. “William Jenner gave this house to Cordelia and her mother. She has been living there since she was young. How can he take it back just like that?

“That doesn’t make sense to me, at least!”

Marcus scoffed and flicked the cigarette butt hard. His eyes were turning grim.

“Z, this is the law. We don’t talk sense here,” Fredric explained patiently. “Yes, they’ve been living in the house for a long time, but Cordelia’s mother isn’t the property owner! It was William Jenner who bought the house. Of course, he can take it back whenever he wants!”

Marcus glared at him. Fredric licked his lips and remained silent.

The former took a sip of tea after a long time and scoffed. “Aren’t you the high and mighty attorney? You’re so good with your words, don’t tell me you can’t win a mere case?”

Fredric was not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Would he not be teased if an attorney at his level took up this case?

“Z.” He could only take a step back. “How about this? I’ll introduce the elite attorney in my firm to Cordelia. He’s fantastic in civil lawsuits—”

“I don’t want anyone else!” Marcus served a fierce look. “You’ll take it!”

Fredric gulped.

He was forcing him against his will!

Marcus gave him an ultimatum. “I don’t care what you do. Don’t let William Jenner take the house!”

Fredric released a heavy sigh. He could only force a smile after a moment of silence. “I’ll get someone to investigate, and I’ll take the case myself. Happy?”
