Matthew was completely dumbfounded by her words, and he could only wave his hand in resignation. “Think however you want, Aunt Chloe. This is none of my business anymore, so don’t ask me about it either!”
With those words, he got up and promptly went upstairs.
Chloe continued yelling at him as he walked further away, “Who are you bluffing? Do you think I can’t hire a lawyer myself? Let me tell you this—I know a law firm that my husband’s company actively works with! I’ll let them handle it first thing tomorrow! Mark my words; I’ll be coming for you if their fees turn out to be lower than that friend of yours!”
Matthew didn’t want to prolong their interaction, so he closed the door without responding to her.
Needless to say, this woman was unbelievably problematic.
Meanwhile, Chloe sat down on the sofa in a huff. “How do you guys put up with that garbage, Helen? Who does he think he is? I knew something was wrong as soon as I heard the amount last night. Little did I know that he’d raise the price again today—he’s obviously trying to scam us. Even though your family is covering the fees for us, I simply can’t sit by and let it happen. That good-for-nothing only wanted to take the opportunity to feed his own pocket!”
I’ll go with you tomorrow to find another lawyer if there’s no other way! How can a trivial matter like this take so much money to handle?
