Chapter: 1041

Yet, upon learning the lawsuit involved the Bates family, the Lawyer immediately declined.

"Miss Holt, our firm is small. We can't handle a giant."

The legal muscle of the Bates Group was well-known in the sector.

With such a stance, Bethany couldn't press the matter. His decision was clear.

"Well, sorry to bother you."

"No, we apologize. Miss Holt, you seem reasonable, so I'll be frank. It's unwise to sue the Bates family. The chances of success are minimal. I've reviewed your evidence. Honestly, you could negotiate a substantial settlement from the Bates Group and live comfortably..."

“Thank you for your advice."

But comfort was not what she sought.

Bethany hung up the phone and began to pack her bags.

She planned to leave Wesden tomorrow. Although her flight was scheduled for noon, she wanted to be ready early.

Since returning to the ward, she hadn't seen Jonathan.

She figured he might be busy, or perhaps there was nothing left for them to discuss. However, as she was leaving, she encountered Samira.

"Mr. Bates returned to Floria, to his parents' place. He left just now. I'll be departing tomorrow as well.”

"He left?"

"Yes. Didn't he tell you?" Samira appeared slightly surprised.

Bethany pressed her lips together, feeling awkward with any response.

Luckily, Samira was perceptive and seemed to grasp the situation.

After a brief silence, Samira spoke again. "You've made your choice, and you don't regret it?"

"Yes."

"I must admit, I envy you. You have Mr. Bates’ passionate love, yet I also pity you. You're faced with such a difficult decision. I'd find it hard too."

Despite not being particularly close to her parents, Samira knew she would seek justice if they were harmed.

"It's not a difficult choice. If I waver now, who else will seek justice for my mother?"

Bethany was resolute.

"You have my number. Call me if you need anything."
