You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 430

Yoel pushed the check back to Amelia. His behavior was as if he did not intend to take the check at all. "Auntie Harington, I can't take your money. I really can't. I will go to other lawyers and pay my own bills."

"How much do you have? For a rookie like you. Besides, this is also for the sake of the case. Just take it. Money makes things easier."

Amelia's heart truly ached for Yoel.

To avoid being rejected again, she quickly left with a goodbye.

Amelia did not realize that she had crossed the boundaries.

After Amelia left, a woman in a luxurious suit entered the room. She looked at Yoel, who was collecting the check and sneered. "Did another fish bite your hook?"

"What nonsense. This is the lawyer's fee."

Yoel said with a serious expression.

The woman laughed at his words. "What? Hahaha, even our three- star lawyers don't receive as much as you do. Looks really do help you in society."

"What are you talking about? I have legitimate skills."

After Yoel put away the check, he stood by the window and saw that Amelia's car had left. He was ready to leave as well.

As soon as he walked over to the door, the woman stopped him by wrapping an arm around his waist. She leaned in closer and hooked her other arm around his shoulders. "You've borrowed my place so don't you think you should pay rent?" She trailed off as her fingers played with the buttons on his shirt. "Maybe you can pay me using your legitimate skills..."

The meaning behind her words couldn't be more obvious.

However, Yoel looked at the woman in front of him with a disgusted expression. He pushed her away and said, "No, Miss Dormer. This is the last trick I'll play. I'll clean up my act and quit in the future. I'll put the rent on your card this time."

This lawyer was named Cynthia Dormer. Although she had been pushed away by Yoel, she wasn't angry. Instead, she sat in a chair and looked at him as he fixed his clothes. She then asked, "Which woman is so charming, that she made you clean up your act? It can't possibly be Auntie Harington, right?"

Yoel's target audience was middle- aged women. A few years back, he had also tried to trick Cynthia, but she immediately saw through his act.

The two had even been booty call for a short while.

Cynthia was shocked that Yoel had stated that he would quit.

"I'd rather take a fancy to you than the woman just now." Yoel straightened his dress shirt, picked up his suit jacket, and left.

During the second trial, Coralie had already been pregnant for more than four months.

Although she tried to cover her stomach with a dress, her slightly bulging stomach was still very obvious.

Skylar accompanied her to sit in the last row of the courtroom.

Soon, the lawyers of both sides took their seats and Valerie was also brought in.

Although she was seated far away, Coralie was still shocked when she saw Valerie. She appeared completely different from her memory.

Back in those days, Valerie was as proud as the spring breeze. She looked presentable at any given moment - exquisite makeup, elegant clothes, and a pretty smile on her face.

However, the Valerie in front of her had on saggy and oversized clothes. Her hair had lost its shine and there was not a trace of makeup on her face.

She seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden.

"Is that... Valerie?"

Coralie was in disbelief.

"Yes." Skylar nodded. "If you no longer want to listen to the trial, just tell me. We'll leave together."
