Chapter: 105

"Jeffery Benson is the most renowned lawyer around. However, he has been difficult to schedule recently," he informed her.

When Alicia accepted the card, Caden glanced at it.

“Jeffery Benson?" Caden asked.

Gerry nodded. “Yeah. What's the matter? Are you planning to help Alicia?"

Caden turned to Alicia. "I'd assist anyone else, but not you. You're too much of a nuisance."

Alicia scoffed at him. "Is it that you won't help, or you just can't secure his services?"

Caden lifted an eyebrow and chuckled.

Despite their disagreements, Alicia still thanked Gerry.

Gerry was curious. “So, what's your plan? Are you going to take legal action against them?"

Thereafter, Alicia stashed the business card in her bag.

"Lilliana has a powerful team behind her, with the Green family and Joshua supporting her. I need to gather enough evidence before I can ask Jeffery for help," Alicia said. “How much does he charge?"

Gerry thought for a moment and answered, "At least a million."

Alicia flinched at the figure.

She had recently received some money from Joshua, and Gerry had paid her for the song she composed.

However, there were still many upcoming expenses.

Could she really afford to spend that kind of money?

Gerry noticed her hesitation and suggested, "Why don't you sign with me? You could write and sing for me, and I'll make sure you're well compensated."

Alicia shook her head in response.

She appreciated Gerry's offer, but agreeing would tie her work to the entertainment industry. It was a path she wasn't sure she wanted to follow.

With her ongoing feud with Lilliana, entering the entertainment world would be a disaster for Alicia. It would only pull her down and, worse, could impact Gerry as well.

Alicia wasn't willing to take that risk, and Gerry didn't press her.

The car soon pulled up at Alicia's place.

After she left, Gerry's gaze sharpened.

He looked directly at Caden. "You've been acting weird, man."

Caden raised an eyebrow, surprised at how quickly Gerry caught on.

“What gave it away?"

"Seriously? It's so dang obvious!" Gerry replied.

Caden smirked. "So you were just pretending to be drunk in the private room, huh?"

Gerry paused for a moment before he asked, “Who said I was pretending?"

Caden gave him a sideways glance. It seemed they weren't on the same page. "What exactly do you think is strange about me?"
