Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness (Alice) novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197 

Not just Ethan, but Alice was also shocked. She’d heard of Lawyer Henry, he was renowned and formidable. Even the Alice family’s lawyer stood up, flustered “Mr. Henry, I didn’t expect you to be the opposing counsel. I apologize 

“No need to apologize. We’re all just doing our jobs. Please, sit down,” Henry said calmly, walking over to Alice Ms. Alice, I’ve reviewed the documents. What’s your desired outcome? Alice hadn’t expected such a high–profile lawyer. This Was Ethan interjected,“Alice, think carefully. Your second brother is willing to give you the company. Is that less than Maple Leaf’s salary?” 

a 

sure win. 

Alice looked at him. You didn’t say that earlier. His flip–flop was breathtaking 

Ethan glanced at Henry. He didn’t want to, but if this lawyer was involved, they had no chance of winning. This lawyer worked exclusively for the Wilson family and never handled small cases. And this case had nothing to do with the Wilsons. Did Alice hire him? Impossible! 

Alice saw the panic on her brother’s face.“I want to win, and I want the guilty party to pay.” That was all she wanted. 

Luke stared at Alice, disbelief etched on his face. He hadn’t expected her to be so ruthless. Ethan slammed his fist on the table. “Alice, if Mom and Dad knew you’d put your own brother in jail, would they rest in peace? Luke played with you when you were a child. Don’t you remember? 

“I remember,” Alice said. She remembered everything: the Alice family’s treatment of her, and her death in her past life. She owed them nothing. 

Before she could reply, Henry slammed his own fist on the table.“Mr. Ethan, you cannot threaten or intimidate my client.” 

“She’s my sister. I’m advising her.” 

“Ms. Alice is an adult. She’s not the Alice family’s pet. Nobody gets to dictate her decisions,” Henry retorted. 

The lawyers argued, Henry rejecting a pre–trial settlement. 

Ethan was speechless, turning to Luke. I tried my best. With Henry here, we’ll lose.” 

Luke just pulled a wry smile, saying nothing. 

Alice sneered, “Mr. Ethan, you could take responsibility for everything Luke did.” 

Ethan’s face hardened.“Alice, stop being sarcastic. Karma’s a bitch. Do you have any respect for Mom and Dad?” 

When he mentioned their parents, a sharp pang of pain pierced Alice’s heart. She stood, her expression cold. “Then go ask Mom and Dad from the afterlife.” She’d already died once. 

Alice gathered her documents and left, refusing to stay in the same room with the Alices. 

“Alice, you dare curse me?!” 

Ethan wanted to confront Alice, but Henry’s presence restrained him. He said politely, Mr. Henry, I didn’t expect someone as busy as you to handle this small case. Do you know Alice?” He didn’t know she knew someone like him.

I represent Maple Leaf. I was retained, Henry replied, leaving Ethan more bewildered. Who could have hired Henry? 

Ethan tried to press, but Henry left without another word. Ethan slammed his fist on the table. Damn it! Would he really watch Luke go to jail, sent there by his sister? This would be a scandal in Washington’s elite circles. He had to find out who hired Henry. Was it the Wilson family? Outside, Alice stood by the window, catching her breath. 

Chloe arrived late, with Garrett Yates. They’d 

They’d come to watch the show. 

Alice saw Chloe’s heavy makeup and form–fitting dress. It was less flattering than her previous, more innocent style. Overdone. 

Garrett Yates put his arm around Chloe, taunting Alice, “Alice, I warned you. This is Washington. You have to play it small. You can’t win against us.” 

Yeah, Alice, just drop the charges. You’ll only get humiliated.” 

Alice smirked. “Who says I’m dropping the charges?” 

“You can’t find a lawyer. You’ll be humiliated if you don’t 

withdraw!” 

Just as Chloe finished, Henry walked over. Garrett Yates’s eyes lit up.“Mr. Henry! What are you doing here? Does the Wilson family have a case?* 

Henry replied politely, ‘No. I was retained for a case.” 

Chloe whispered, “Who is he?” 

“He’s Lawyer Henry, a legend. He’s the Wilson family’s chief counsel and rarely takes cases. Seeing him in court is rare.” 

Chloe was stunned. Such a famous lawyer, connected to the top family. Alice handed Henry her documents. This is all the information I’ve gathered. Please review it.” She hadn’t known Henry would be her lawyer. Andrew Yates had pulled some strings. Chloe slapped the documents from Alice’s hand, scattering them.“Alice, do you have any shame? You’re shamelessly trying to get him to take your case. Stop embarrassing the Alice family!” Garrett Yates mocked, “Alice, I know you’re desperate for a lawyer, but look who Mr. Henry is. He wouldn’t take such a small case. Stop making a fool of yourself.” 

Chloe was about to taunt again when she saw Ethan and his group emerge. She immediately changed her tone.“Sister Alice, I know you want to win, but you can’t force Mr. Henry to take your case. He doesn’t even know you. It’s rude.”
