Erin’s expression darkened. After spending so many years with Damon, she would never allow a sudden, unexpected child to derail her ns.


    Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her <b>anger </b>and resentment. She spoke in a calm tone. “Damon, I’m having a hard time epting this right now. Please give me a week.


    “I need some time to process this. Once I’ve sorted it out, I’lle find you. Let’s not contact each other in the meantime.”


    Fearing that Damon would bring up the idea of breaking their engagement again, Erin abruptly hung up She gritted her teeth, anger boiling beneath the surface


    That bitch, N, had the audacity to inform Damon about the existence of that child without any warning! She had even pretended not to be interested in Damon, but it had all been an act!


    Erin dialed another number, her voice seething with anger. “What have you been doing?! Why haven’t i heard anything about what I asked you to do?!”


    “It’sing along, Ms. Hulle. Don’t worry,” the person on the other end replied.”


    Erin scoffed. “I warn you, if you mess up my ns, I won’t let you off the hook!”


    If it weren’t for the other party’s slow progress, N wouldn’t have had the chance to bring that bastard child right in front of Damon!


    The person on the other end fell silent, heavy breathing indicating they hadn’t hung up.


    Erin didn’t care about their feelings, coldly stating, “You have three more days. If you can’t handle something this small, you can leave!”


    She ended the call, still seething with frustration, her face a picture of fury. As long as N was around, she would never find peace!


    When N got home, she immediately called Caroline,


    Caroline arrived about half an hourter.


    Seeing N’s disheveled state, her eyes filled with concern. “N, don’t worry. Buddy has been with you for years. He’s deeply attached to you. Even if it goes to court, he’ll choose you!”


    N shook her head. “Since Damon has already sent someone to take him and has prepared awyer and a paternity test, he won’t let me see Buddy easily. What I’m afraid of is that he’s deliberately stalling. He can wait, but I can’t….


    “I called his secretary just now. Hearing Buddy’s heartbreaking cries made my heart ache. Every second I can’t see him feels like torture.


    Caroline encouraged her, “Now more than ever, you need to stay strong. Buddy is counting on you to bring him back. I know a few goodwyers. I’ll introduce them to you.”


    Taking a deep breath, N looked at Caroline. “Caroline, I actually need to ask for your help.”


    “What is it?” Caroline inquired.


    <b>“</b>Damon’swyer is Gerrard Chaucer. You should know he’s very famous in Capitarnia and even nationally. It’ll be tough for an ordinarywyer to win. I want to ask your sister to help with this case,” N said.


    Caroline’s expression grew conflicted. Her elder sister, Bailey Lovell, was indeed very skilled. If she took the case, their chances of winning would increase significantly Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    It was just that… Bailey had previously had a rtionship with Gerrard. After their breakup, both had carved out sessful careers and had never crossed paths, either publicly or privately, since.


    Bailey had once stated she wouldn’t take cases involving Gerrard, and though he hadn’t publicly announced it, he would avoid any case that Bailey was involved in as well.


    In recent years, both had be well–<b>known </bwyers in Capitarnia, yet it felt like they were in a standoff, each avoiding the other.
