Chapter 139 Let's Have a Talk

Sitting in the car, Lilith couldn't help but shiver, unsure if it was because the heat in the car was not turned on.

Wilfred noticed and took the initiative to close the windows and turn on the heat. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Sorry, I don't really like the smell of it. I forgot to turn it on."

Lilian shook her head, indicating that it was okay.

The two arrived at the electronics store. Wilfred expertly went to a store selling surveillance equipment. Obviously, he knew the owner.

Lilian couldn't help but take another look at Wilfred. As a lawyer, he had a wide range of contacts. Previously, when they were investigating Paul's residence, he finished it within a few minutes. Now they came to buy surveillance equipment. He even knew the person in charge.

Wilfred had a conversation with the owner for a while and confirmed the model of the surveillance equipment. The owner arranged for someone to install it for free.

After leaving the electronics store, they originally planned to go to the parking lot, but several cars came speeding towards them, blocking their way.

Lilian looked at the luxury cars and felt a tightening in her heart.

Several men in suits got out of the cars. Nelson came out of the Bentley in the middle and walked around to open the car door.

Lilian unconsciously swallowed and stared at the car door.

Then she saw a man getting out of the car. When his shiny leather shoes touched the ground, she felt as if they were stepping on her heart. She unconsciously clenched her fingers.

It was Francis. He had a black coat draped over his shoulders. As he stood in the middle of the group of bodyguards, his aura instantly overpowering everyone present.

Wilfred's expression also became serious, and he instinctively glanced at Lilian.

Francis walked slowly towards Lilian. His gaze, devoid of warmth, swept across Lilian's face and came to Wilfred's face. He asked, "Is this the lawyer you found?"

Wilfred stood upright and asked, "Who are you?"

"She hired you, and you don't know who I am?"

Wilfred frowned and was about to speak, but Lilian hurriedly stepped in front of him, eager to explain.

However, Francis grabbed her hand and pulled her to the side, handing her over to Nelson.

"Take her back first."

Nelson caught Lilian and said with a complicated expression, "Young Madam, let's go back."

Lilian shook her head, struggling to go over and explain. Nelson held her hand and stopped her, whispering, "Don't cause any more trouble."

Nelson signaled to the surrounding bodyguards, instructing them to pull Lilian into the car.

Lilian couldn't resist their strength and was dragged into the car. She turned her head and stared at Wilfred, feeling her heart sink.

After the car was driven away, Wilfred withdrew his gaze. It seemed like he understood something. "Sir, it seems like you've misunderstood. I'm just Ms. Rossum's lawyer."

Francis's lips curled up, but there was no sign of joy on his face. He stared at Wilfred casually. "Then I guess we have no misunderstanding. Mr. Vaughn, let's have a talk."

Wilfred turned his head and looked at the surveillance cameras on the gate of the electronics center. He smiled and said, "Alright."

He took the initiative and got into Francis' car by the roadside.

Although Wilfred was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy when he heard the roars of those wild beasts as he was taken to the villa halfway up the mountain.

Fortunately, with his years of professional composure, he quickly calmed down. He followed Francis closely as they walked through the villa at a leisurely pace, as if they were taking a stroll.

If it weren't for the many bodyguards following behind, the two looked like two old friends catching up.

"Mr. Vaughn, how did you come to know my wife?" Francis asked.

Wilfred thought for a moment and replied, "Mr. Landau, I guess you should ask Ms. Rossum about that. She contacted me first."

Lawyers had their own regular clients, so he wasn't sure who introduced him to Lilian. However, only a few people knew the account through which he received Lilith's friend request. So when Lilian told him her intentions, he was willing to go above and beyond to help her.

If it were anyone else coming to him for such a small case, he wouldn't have taken it.
