Chapter 799
After another 20 minutes or so, Jonah phoned Chloe again. "Chloe, you... you... you idiot!" he swore as soon as
Chloe answered the phone.
Chloe panicked. "What are you talking about? H-How could you say that I'm an idiot?"
At once, Jonah flew into a rage. "Do you know who the person surnamed Manning is? Lettell you this he is
the most famous attorney in Eastcliff, and he has practiced law for so many years without ever losing a lawsuit.
Even business tycoons and large conglomerates seek his advice when they run into something, so he's
considered a leader in Eastcliff's law practice. H-How could you offend him? No wonder all the attorneys in
Eastcliff are unwilling to take up this case!"

Chloe was stupefied. "T-That can't be true, right? How could this happen? I-Isn't that guy just an attorney whom
Matthew found at random? How could he have such great capabilities? Have you mistaken him for a different
person who has the ssurname?"
Chloe instantly sank into the sofa. She really didn't expect that the lawyer Matthew had summoned casually by
phone was actually the most famous attorney in Eastcliff! More importantly, Mr. Manning arrived in the middle of
the night after receiving Matthew's call! Back then, she simply assumed that Mr. Manning was an insignificant
figure, so she didn't take him seriously at all. She couldn't understand what on earth enabled Matthew to let this
attorney cover at night instead of resting!
After a long time, she asked in a quavering voice, "T-Then... what should we do now?"
Jonah replied angrily, "How should | know? Lucia is still askingwhat's going on, and | can't even bring myself
to tell her about it! If she learns that we have offended this famous attorney, she... she will definitely drive me
out of the company!"
Chloe trembled with fright upon hearing his words. "I-I really had no idea about this, hubby. | thought he was
colluding with Matthew to try to swindle money from me. I-I really have no idea about such things at all... You
have to save Tate. He's still a kid..." She began to choke up as she spoke.
On the other hand, Jonah was as mad as a wet hen. "All right, that's enough. Do you think that | don't want to
save Tate? However, what can | do now that things have cto this point because of you? Forget it I'll have a
friend of mine hire an attorney from another city!"
Chloe's eyes lit up. "Can you do that? T-That will be great! In that case, please hurry, hubby. Tate is still in

Jonah retorted in exasperation, "Of course! Do you think I'm not worried about him? Do you know how much it
costs to hire an attorney from another city, though? You idiot! You're not the one spending 1.6 million, yet you
keep doing such pointless things. Now, nobody knows how much money our family is going to spend!"
Chloe didn't dare to answer him; she also felt guilty since she had screwed up the matter this time. Once she
hung up the phone, she looked at Helen again. "You must helpthis time, Helen. All the attorneys in Eastcliff
have ganged up with Mr. Manning, so they're not going to help us. We can only hire an attorney from somewhere
else, but with my family's current situation, the legal fees..." Helen immediately responded, "Don't worry, Chloe.
I'll help you with the money."
Minerva immediately joined in and said, "As expected, you're the one who treats us best, Aunt Helen. Mom kept
saying that you're the kindest person in this world back when we were overseas!" Helen replied with a smug
smile and said, "Isn't it because your mom and | are sisters? Besides, things turned out like this because she
wanted to save money for my family, so | must definitely help her."
