The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof-Chapter 1059 - 1056: Hiring a Lawyer

Watching Lily storm out, Annie shook her head: "Leaving the house without a brain might as well be leaving as a pig. We can’t let someone like this off so easily; who knows what nonsense she’ll spout off to the media. Qiao, it’s time to get a lawyer over here."

"Getting a lawyer is easy." Qiao Xiaren seemed to remember that the old man at home once mentioned that Smith in M Country, leaving the case to him would probably save her the trouble.

She searched through her cellphone contacts and, sure enough, found Smith’s phone number.

"Miss Qiao?" Smith, receiving the call from Qiao Xiaren, was a little surprised. Previously, it was always the old man who contacted him directly, and he hadn’t expected the call to come from the young lady this time.

"Mr. Smith, long time no see, I’m surprised you can still recognize my voice."

Since the last time he was at the Qiao Family to verify DNA, Smith hadn’t shown up at the Qiao’s place again, staying busy at his own law firm.

Hearing Qiao Xiaren’s slightly teasing voice, Smith laughed: "The young lady now is quite the celebrity, and there’s news about you on TV every day. Just a few days ago, I was following your ’Cold Enough’, so how could I possibly not recognize your voice. You must have something on your mind to be looking for me at this time, right?"

Listening to that confident tone of Smith, Qiao Xiaren said: "As expected, I can’t hide anything from you. Recently, I’ve had a little trouble over here — an online brand posted my photo and name online without my permission to get me to endorse their brand, and I want you to handle it."

"I see," Smith, sitting in his swivel chair, leaned back, "It’s a small matter, Miss Qiao, please don’t worry."

"Then let me thank you in advance, Mr. Smith."

"No need for thanks. Please send my regards to the old man."

As soon as Qiao Xiaren hung up the phone, she was met with Annie’s incredulous eyes and blanked: "Annie, what’s wrong?"

"The lawyer you were just talking to, was that Pato Smith?"

Annie’s voice sounded somewhat excited, and when Qiao Xiaren nodded, she couldn’t help but continue: "Do you know he’s part of the Smith Family? Oh my God!!! On the surface, the Smith Family is in the legal business, but in reality, they are also the world’s only authoritative estate and will certification office. Many wealthy people choose to pay a hefty sum of cash to the Smith certification office each year to set up a will in advance, and entrust their assets to the Smiths for management. After the wealthy person dies, the Smiths have the authority to distribute the wealth, successfully preventing the chaos of large family inheritance splits! No one has the right to appeal against the property distribution handled by the Smiths!"

"Oh."

Having listened for a while, Qiao Xiaren had little reaction. Her relationship with Smith and the old man was good, and she never asked for the specifics, only knowing that they worked in the legal business, and the old man trusted him greatly.

Hearing this "Oh" from Qiao Xiaren, Annie gave her a disdainful look for the first time: "Do you have any idea that Smith never loses a lawsuit? Do you know his appearance fee is as high as tens of millions of US dollars, and he considers accepting a case based on his mood? Qiao, even if you don’t understand M Country very well, wouldn’t you at least check the background of the lawyer before daring to schedule an appointment with them?"

Ever since she was a child, Annie had idolized Smith, and right now her calves were still shaking, her emotions still riding high in excitement.

Hearing that appearance fee, Yunduo couldn’t help but gasp.

Seeing the naked disdain in Annie’s eyes for Xiaren, she suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong.

How could someone like that bother with such a trivial lawsuit?
