True Love Waits novel Chapter 1292

At Sun Coffee Shop

A young man in a red coat waved at the man and the woman who just came into the shop. "Erica!" he called out. "I'm here."

At the sight of Watkins, Erica immediately pulled Hyatt's sleeve and walked towards him. "Watkins," she greeted. "Have you waited for a long time?"

He shook his head. "No. Mr. Fei just arrived. Let's go inside, shall we?"

"Sure."

Watkins took them to an inconspicuous corner on the second floor of the cafe. A man in a black suit and leather shoes was already waiting for their arrival. Upon seeing them, the man in the suit stood up and greeted them with a bow of his head. "Mrs. Huo, it's nice to meet you all."

Kelvin Fei didn't need an introduction to know that Erica was Matthew's wife. After all, he had already scanned through the case documents.

After the greetings, Watkins asked Erica to sit in the chair near the window. He sat next to her while Kelvin and Hyatt sat opposite them.

Once they ordered their drinks, everyone went straight to the point. After all, it would make no sense if they beat around the bush. "May I ask you a question, Mrs. Huo?" he asked. "The lawyers of ZL Group are the best in the industry, yet you chose to contact me. Why?" Although he had an excellent reputation within the legal community, he wasn't on par with the lawyers in ZL Group.

When Matthew told her that he wasn't the one who had asked Phoebe to draw a portrait of him, Erica began to regret her decision. If she had known earlier, she would've calmed down and called him to explain first. Maybe then he could've lent her a lawyer from his legal team.

However, out of impulse, she contacted Watkins and asked him to help her find a good lawyer. Now that they had already contacted Kelvin, she had no other choice but to go through with it. She smiled sheepishly. "You know how my husband is busy with his work every day. I don't want to bother him with such a small matter," she stated. "I would rather solve this myself."

Everyone could imagine how busy the CEO of ZL Group was. Ten million in Matthew's eyes was like a hundred dollars to a commoner. It was normal for Erica not to bother the CEO with such a small amount of money involved.

Kelvin nodded. "It would be my honor to be your lawyer. In all honesty, it would've been easier for Mr. Huo to be personally part of this case, but seeing as you don't want to bother him, I'm guessing you'll be acting as a plaintiff on his side?"

"That's it."

"That's fine. However, there are still some documents that require Mr. Huo's signature. We might need to trouble your husband with this."

Erica tilted her head. "Just his signature?"

"Yes! According to the law of H Country, if the wife sues the defendant on behalf of her husband, the husband doesn't need to be present, but the wife must be present with a letter of authorization signed by him."

"It's no problem." Erica thought that she might be able to get Matthew to sign without him reading it. However, another thought crossed her mind. "What if I use his personal seal instead?" It would be easier to get his seal.

"That's fine, but you'll need his fingerprint."

"That's fine."

While Kelvin was looking for other information, Watkins leaned closer to her and whispered, "Why do I have a feeling that Mr. Huo knows nothing about this case?"

He knew Matthew well enough to know that it would be impossible for Erica to sit here and discuss the legal process with them. In fact, he might even be here himself.

Erica chuckled sheepishly. "I'll tell him later." She wanted to hide it from Matthew as long as she could. She wouldn't want to tell him because he might have second thoughts in suing the woman.
