My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1798

Given Aaron's current state, he was likely to start a fight with Josiah.

Taking another look at Josiah, I noticed that he was calm and composed and was turning a deaf ear to Aaron's warning. It was as if everything was under his control.

I instinctively shifted my gaze elsewhere. There were many customers in the coffee shop. It looked like they were just gossiping about us for causing a scene, nothing unusual about that.

Before they caused a ruckus, things were always exceptionally calm. Although we didn't know what Josiah was planning, acting on an impulse could lead to some bad stuff.

After thinking about this for a while, I reached forward to pull Aaron back down onto the chair.

Looking at Josiah, I forced out a smile and accepted his proposal, "You said that you'd file a lawsuit, didn't you? Fine. We'll agree to your condition. I'll tell you clearly right now, as Anne's biological father, you do have priority over custody of your child. As for my divorce, that is my disadvantage as a woman. I'm sure your lawyer had already told you all of this, right?"

After having his plan exposed, Josiah spread out his hands and admitted to it, "So what? People specialize. I'm a doctor, so I have to consult a lawyer about these things. To tell you the truth, I hired an incredibly prestigious lawyer. Arianna, I won't lose this case. I think you'd better turn a blind eye to this and stop preventing me from seeing Anne, or you'll regret it by the time my lawyer brings you to court."

"Hmph..." I couldn't help but sneer.

Trying to scare me by saying he had hired a prestigious lawyer? He was clearly underestimating me!

"I don't know who your lawyer is, but it's a shame. He's destined to never earn his lawyer's fee." I looked at him with a sly smile.

Josiah closed his eyes as if he was thinking about what to do next.

I smiled and leaned forward, "Since you sound so confident, you probably didn't tell your lawyer the truth, did you? Who would be willing to admit that he almost killed their own daughter? Josiah, it's easy to find all the evidence about Anne's hospitalization and your criminal records. I believe those who were harmed by the Saunder family's chemical plant and are still suffering up till now, would be willing to unconditionally serve as my witnesses to prove how cruel and selfish you are!" "You mentioned you wanted custody. But now that I think about it, as Anne's father, I have to ask, why did you bring her there when you knew that the chemical plant was polluted, causing her to suffer from an incurable disease? She trusted you, but you showed her no mercy. According to article 261 of the penal code system, I should very well let them charge you with abandoning the young and send you back to that d*mned prison!"

This was the first time in my entire life that I felt that wanting to be a lawyer was the correct decision.

In that past minute, I had blurted out criminal law regulations without even arranging them in my head and rendered Josiah speechless. This was all worth the many hours of studying I had to go through.

Seeing that he was at a loss for words, I breathed out a sigh of relief.

What did I have to worry about? A person like him would have lost the right to become a father long ago. Being able to take Anne away from us was simply wishful thinking.
