"Mr. Blackwood, before the trial, I want to meet with you." On the phone, Alexis' tone was very serious. "It's about Avery. I met with her at noon and she told me something that I think you should know."
If it weren't for the fact that Ethan already knew what kind of person Alexis was, someone who didn't know her might have believed her nonsense.
Ethan snorted coldly, "No, there's no need."
He was about to hang up the phone.
Alexis hurriedly shouted on the phone, "No, you must know. Avery said that if you don't withdraw the lawsuit today, she will divorce you!"
Could Ethan withdraw the lawsuit? Impossible! Then, they could only get a divorce.
Besides, how could someone like Ethan Blackwood, who couldn't tolerate any flaws, tolerate his wife having such thoughts?
He was so rich and powerful, even if he was so ugly, there must be many women who wanted to throw themselves at him.
Since she had such thoughts, divorce was inevitable.
That's what Alexis thought, so she made this phone call before the trial.
But she didn't expect that despite her efforts to shout so loudly before really Ethan hung up the phone, she would still be ignored in the end.
The phone beeped, and Alexis sat in the coffee shop by the window, looking at the prominent courthouse in the distance, feeling very unwilling.
It was all her parents' fault. If they hadn't sent Avery instead of her back then, she wouldn't have to go through all this trouble now.
" Alexis, what are you doing here?" A male voice suddenly came from the entrance of the café.
Alexis looked up and saw the man who appeared in her line of sight. She frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
The man was dressed in a black suit with a tie, holding a briefcase and wearing a pair of glasses. He looked ordinary and couldn't compare with the half-face of Ethan.
"I'm Alexander Gray, we graduated from university three years ago and you've already forgotten me."
Gray sat down opposite Alexis without invitation.
He introduced himself, "After graduating from university, I started my own business, but failed two years ago. I was depressed for a while, and then I joined my uncle's law firm. Although I'm still just a legal assistant, my master recently received a commission from Mr. Blackwood. After today's trial, I will definitely become famous."
Gray was a little proud when he said this. Indeed, it was such a lucky thing to be able to cooperate with Mr. Blackwood.
Even if he was just an assistant now, after today, he could straighten his back when speaking in front of others, saying that he had helped Mr. Blackwood win a lawsuit.
Gray did not realize that the person accused by Mr. Blackwood was Alexis' father, Harrison Wells.
By the time he realized this, Alexis' face had already turned ugly.
"Oh, really? Then I wish you success," she picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Gray quickly grabbed her, "Alexis , don't go. I'm sorry I didn't realize that Harrison Wells is your father." If he had thought of it earlier, would he have said that? He had been secretly in love with Alexis for four years during college.
From the moment he saw her, he fell in love with her. Unfortunately, his family background was not high, and he was also the bottom of the class. He didn't have the ability to make her notice him.
"It's okay, I didn't blame you. After all, it's your job," Alexis was very resistant to physical contact with him. With Ethan as the perfect reference, she didn't even want to look at other men now.
"Let go, I have to go find my dad. You take care of yourself."
"No, Alexis, it's not easy for us to meet. Let's sit down and talk first," grayy didn't want to let go.
"We don't have anything to talk about."
A man with nothing, who had been an assistant in the law firm for two years, was not qualified to talk to her.
"Why don't we have anything to talk about?" Gray became anxious and said, "Aren't you Harrison's daughter? I'll help you in court today and try not to let your father suffer too much."
Upon hearing this, Alexis' face improved slightly.
"How can you help?"
"Sit down first, let's talk."
Gray gathered his courage and placed the documents from his briefcase onto the desk, lowering his voice.
"These are the agreements that Mr. Blackwood prepared for your father to sign. I was going to give them to him during the trial, but since I met you first, Alexis, I have to admit that I have always liked you. If you are willing to be with me, I am willing to destroy these documents."
Be with him? Dream on!
Alexis did not hide her disgust, but she did not immediately refuse him.
"Are you serious?"
"I swear on my conscience," Gray said, raising his hand above his head. "Even if you don't want to make our relationship public, as long as I can see you more often, I will do everything I can to help your family." "I'll think about it."
"What is there to think about? The trial is about to begin," Grya's voice rose a few decibels. "Do you want your father to be ruined by Mr. Blackwood?"
To be honest, although Alexander Gray was not doing well now, the Wells family was not doing well in the capital either.
And as for Alexis, three years ago when she graduated, she had declared in front of the whole class that she would become a world-famous pianist within a year.
But three years had passed, and she was only slightly known in the piano world. She was still far from being a well known pianist.
Now, Harrison Wells was still at the mercy of Mr. Blackwood. If Gray did not help, the Wells family would have no future.
Only if he destroyed this important agreement in advance, could Mr. Blackwood not disturb the Wells family for a while.
Upon hearing the man's words, Alexis froze.
Of course, she didn't want the Wells family to collapse. If the Wells family fell, her identity as the young miss of the family would also be gone. Without this identity, no one would respect her no matter where she went.
But Gray's condition was taking advantage of the situation!
Alexy was disgusted by his attitude. He was just an ordinary-looking assistant with no money or power, yet he wanted to have a taste of her luxury life?
"If you help my father save the Wells family, I will be with you," she said, picking up her bag and leaving the coffee shop.
Save the Wells family? What's so difficult about that?
Gray was full of confidence. He just needed to destroy this agreement, and the Wells family would be saved.
...
Ethan didn't take Avery's' words to heart. Ever since he realized that she had no idea about the five hundred thousand cheque that he had found in her bag from Parker , he had been on guard.
No, maybe it was earlier, when he returned from a business trip a few days ago and saw that Alexis was using her cooking skills to bribe the household servants.
The Babel Group building was not far from the courthouse, and they arrived at their destination in ten minutes.
As soon as they got out of the car, Ethan saw Avery standing under a tree outside the courthouse gate.
