A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 958

Chase, despite the excruciating pain, took his eyes off the floor, swaying a bit as he made his way to Liana's hospital bed.

Liana was a bit taken aback after hearing why Chase had come to see her.

She thought that after Chase and Will had called it quits, he'd given up. But, surprisingly, he had been planning all along on how to get Tyler behind bars.

"My client is about to go to court with Tyler and we need you to testify," he said.

Liana appeared dazed, and Chase's expression grew serious in response.

"Based on your expression, it seems like you're not enthusiastic about going through with the lawsuit against Tyler, right?" Chase remarked.

Liana shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't want to proceed; rather, she felt that it would be a futile battle.

Who was Tyler, truly? Was he someone who could be easily taken down?

"If you're not interested, then tell Mr. Webb to drop the charges. Don't waste my time," Chase stated, unaware of the history between Liana and Tyler.

Chase assumed that Liana might still have feelings for Tyler, so he decided not to push the matter further.

As he got up to leave, Liana suddenly said, "Mr. Chase, if I agree to testify, how sure are you that we can win?"

Chase paused, turned to look at her. "That depends on you. Do you really want to put him behind bars?"

According to the information provided by Will, Tyler had taken Liana away on the day they got their marriage certificate and violated her.

When Chase asked why Tyler would do such a thing, Will was reluctant to discuss it, clearly wanting to protect Liana's privacy.

But how could you keep something like this from the lawyer in a lawsuit?

Chase, being a top-tier lawyer in the country, understood the importance of having all the facts straight before going to court. His reputation and position demanded meticulous preparation. That's why he sought out Liana for more details.

Liana genuinely wanted to see Tyler held accountable for his actions, as his harassment had taken a toll on her. However, she doubted their ability to successfully prosecute him or predict the length of his potential sentence.

"I'm worried that not only will we lose the case, but it might also provoke him further..." Liana expressed her concerns, fearing the possible retaliation from Tyler. She felt scared and unsure of her ability to handle any consequences.

Observing Liana's vulnerability, Chase took a moment before speaking quietly, "I have never lost a case..."

Chase recognized that it might not be appropriate to make such confident statements to his clients as a lawyer. However, witnessing Liana's helplessness reminded him of when Sigrid had faced bullying from foreigners. Perhaps it was due to this personal experience that his sympathy was triggered, prompting him to offer reassurance.
