My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 870 Jealous Again

It was not that Amber was elevating herself - it was that Jared Farrell had profound feelings for her.

She was still very confident that he would give her whatever she wanted.

Even letting Alice go.

But would Amber let Alice go?

Certainly not!

Therefore, it was safe to say that the person behind Alice had wrong wishful thinking.

Sure enough, before Jared could pick up the lawyer's words, the lawyer touched the tip of his nose and spoke first, "Of course, I know this is impossible as Mr. Farrell and I are barely related - almost negligible How could Mr. Farrell show mercy to Alice for me?"

"Since you already know, why did you still take it?" Amber said.

The lawyer knew about Amber's relationship with Jared, so he was polite. He smiled and said, "Well, I am only doing this for the money. Mr. Stockert behind Ms. Alice has promised to give me five million as long as I come forward and ask for Mr. Farrell's mercy on their behalf."

He spread out five fingers.

Amber sucked in a breath, "Five million is a big deal."

The lawyer nodded in agreement, "It is a big deal - five million handed to me, plus the lawyer's fee for taking the job, it's seven million in total. How could I turn that down, you know what I mean?" Amber smiled, "Having said that, what if your intercession failed? Isn't the five million gone?"

"Not really." The man shook his head, "I checked with Ms. Alice. Besides, I know very well what my true relationship is with Mr. Farrell. And I am well aware that Mr. Farrell will not back down because of me. I've made this clear with Mr. Stockert but he insisted on giving it a try. With him having said that, I have no pressure or burden taking the money."

He spread his hands and said.

Amber really admired this man, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Wouldn't you worry that your reputation as a lawyer will be damaged by doing this?"

The lawyer smiled and said, "Reputation is nothing compared to money."

"..." Amber was at a loss for words.

This man, as Jared said, was madly greedy for money.

But this was understandable - Who wasn't after profits in this world?

Amber was, and so was Jared.

Otherwise, why would she and Jared Farrell work so hard for their respective groups?

"So you came to me now to intercede for Alice?" At this moment, Jared Farrell finally opened his mouth again, staring coldly at the lawyer.

The lawyer pushed his glasses and nodded, "Yes, but I am only here to pass the procedure. Anyway, it's still a job that I have taken. I gotta do what I gotta do." Fair enough!

Amber gave the man a thumbs up again, only to show her admiration.

Seeing the woman's movement, Jared pursed his thin lips in displeasure, then bent her thumbs-up, and looked at her with a warning look.

She was not 'allowed' to admire other men but him.

Amber rolled her eyes speechlessly but also found this funny. She nodded, promising to admire only him and not other men in the future.

When Jared saw this, he looked away in satisfaction and his sight landed on the lawyer across from them, "You don't worry about annoying me when you do this?"

The lawyer adjusted the tie around his neck and replied confidently, "Mr. Farrell, although my relationship with you is not that close, it's not like I don't know you at all - you foresee the outcome, and you know me, so you won't care about me. And knowing this, I dare to take the job with confidence."

Jared snorted and said nothing.

Because the man was right about Jared - he didn't care about the lawyer, so he didn't show too much reaction or emotion.

After all, no matter what this person did, it would not change any of his decisions.

What's more, this person was only going through the motions after he had taken the job. He wasn't trying to help Alice rehabilitate, so Jared naturally wouldn't stop this person from making money. Amber looked slightly sideways at the man beside her. Seeing that there was no other expression on the man's face other than a touch of indifference, she knew that the lawyer was right.

It seemed that this lawyer did know Jared Farrell very well.

"Since you know that Jared doesn't care, why don't you plead for Alice so we can get this over with? After that, we can go to meet with Alice in a while." Amber looked at her watch and said to the lawyer. A police officer who just brought them here had said that Alice's interrogation would be done in half an hour.

It was about time now.

There was still some time away, but they would like to hurry up.

Hearing Amber's reminder, the lawyer immediately looked at Jared.

Seeing Jared's expressionless face and that he didn't refute Amber Reed, the lawyer knew what Jared meant. He figured out that Amber was valued heavily in Jared's heart. Then the lawyer adjusted his tie and immediately said to Jared, "Mr. Farrell, I'm Ms. Alice's attorney. I would like to learn more about your attitude toward this case. Is there a chance we could resolve this between us? Of course, we will make sure the outcome meets you and Ms. Reed's expectations, as long as Ms. Alice could have your forgiveness. Is there room for negotiation?"

"No freaking way!" Jared was expressionless and uttered three words in a cold voice.

Although Amber didn't speak, she nodded earnestly, indicating that Jared's attitude was hers.

The lawyer pushed his glasses, and the expression on his face changed again, from being polite to sigh, and he sighed directly, as if very regretful, "Okay. I appreciate your time. Sorry to disturb you." After speaking, the lawyer saved the recording. He put his phone back into his pocket with satisfaction, "Alright, all is done. With the recording, I can cash out the five million now."

When Amber heard this, and then looked at the lawyer's financial fanatic appearance, she couldn't help laughing, "This is the most unintentional moment I've ever seen - if anyone listens to the recording, they'd know this is acting. How would they pay you?"

The lawyer patted the suit pocket where he had placed the mobile phone, "Don't worry Ms. Reed, they definitely will - the other party only said that as long as I plead with Mr. Farrell for Ms. Alice, they will give me the money. And as you see, I just pleaded, even if we were acting, it was still a plea - after all, they did not say that acting was not allowed."

"..." Amber Reed was speechless again.

This guy made sense.

She was speechless.

He was eloquent.

He must have made a difference as a lawyer.

Thinking so, Amber took out her mobile phone and was about to check the lawyer's background online.

Looking at what she found, her eyes widened - the way she looked at the man in front of them had changed immediately.

This guy was a big deal.

"What are you looking at?" Just when Amber was full of surprise at the lawyer, a big hand suddenly stretched out in front of her eyes, and then blindfolded her directly, isolating the amazed and admiring gaze she had at the lawyer.

Jared's thin lips pursed into a straight line, and his face was annoyed.

Thinking of the way she looked at the lawyer made him feel upset.

Therefore, the way he looked at the lawyer changed, becoming as sharp as a knife.☐☐☐☐☐☐
