Snare of Love

Chapter 790 The Sunrise Is Quite Beautiful on South Mountain

Armand paused a bit and continued, “If it’s destined that we can’t have children, we must accept it

peacefully. We shouldn’t insist.”

Theresa didn’t mention Elizabeth, which might impact their current atmosphere.

Anderson Smith knocked on the door. He was the lawyer who received the woman just now.

He asked Armand if he had decided to help that woman.

Armand said, “I didn’t say no or yes.”

It would depend.

Anderson said, “I was told it’s both good and bad if we decide to represent her. It’s like a double-edged

sword with both advantages and disadvantages. If we won, our law firm would have a new raise of

reputation. If not, we would be doomed. After all, the family she wants to sue isn’t a common family.”

Armand asked him, “What do you mean?”

In the past, Armand cared about fame and interests. Now, he didn’t. If the woman’s daughter was

forced to commit suicide, Armand would take this case.

No matter who the other party was, no one could defy the law.

“I suggest not taking the case. At least, we can keep what we have now. Once we failed...”

“Anderson, I know what you meant. I’ll consider about it,” Armand interrupted him and said, “You know

me well. Although I haven’t taken a case in person for a long time, I have my principles.”

Anderson reminded him, “Once you’ve taken the case, you’ll offend them.”

Armand said, “I know.”

Anderson heaved a sigh. “Okay. Please think twice.”

After finishing his words, he turned around and left the room.

After Anderson was gone, Theresa walked over and asked Armand, “What do you think?”

Armand didn’t answer her. Pulling Theresa out of the room, he asked the receptionist, “Has the woman

just now left any contact way?”

“She filled out the registration form when she came here. We have her address.” The receptionist

showed him the record. Then Armand put it on the desk and walked out of the firm while holding

Theresa’s hand.

Theresa didn’t understand what he planned to do, so she asked, “What do you want?”

“I want to take this case.”

Theresa asked, “Why? I can tell just now Anderson wanted to convince you not to take it.”

“No reason. I just thought if a woman was willing to die with her own son, it must be because she was

forced to the dead end. I want to know the truth of this case and seek justice for the dead,” Armand

answered while walking.

Theresa didn’t speak. Inwardly, she supported him.

A just lawyer was a good lawyer.

They drove towards the woman’s house.

The woman’s family was outside the Fifth Ring Road. It was a three-story house with a small yard, in

front of which was a temporary funeral shed. The dead hadn’t been buried yet. In front of the coffin,

there were two cinerary caskets, which were covered with a red cloth.

The woman who had just been to the law firm was crying in front of the coffin. A few people were next

to her. They should be close family or friends to her.

After parking their car, when Armand and Theresa were about to go over, they saw several cars arrive.

They didn’t stop until they drove to the front of the entrance, right in front of the funeral shed.

Soon, more than a dozen people got off.

Seeing them, the woman became quite emotional. “Why are you here?”

The man in the lead was in a suit, looking like a successful man. He emanated a temperament with his Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

every movement. He said ruthlessly, “He’s my son. Of course, I should take him away.”

This man was that mid-aged woman’s ex-son-in-law, the ex-husband of the dead woman.

The woman burst into tears. “Your son? You’ve been fully lured by that temptress! How can you still

care about your son? Your son is dead...”

Before she finished speaking, the man pinched her neck. “If it weren’t for your daughter, how could my

son die?”

“You fucking bastard!” Right then, the dead woman’s younger brother rushed to him.

The man had brought some experienced bodyguards, who were quite skilled in fighting. Before the

young man got closer, he was knocked down. He fell in front of the coffin and knocked off the basin of

the burning offerings to the dead.

A tall, slender, and good-looking woman next to the man took a chance of the mess and walked up.

She picked up the smaller casket. Noticing the bigger one next, she purposely knocked it over. With a

loud band, the casket fell on the ground and was broken. All the relatives of the dead were irritated.

They circled around them all of a sudden.

There was chaos in front of the funeral shed. With the bodyguards’ help, the woman walked to the man

in a suit with the small casket in her arms. She said, “I didn’t mean to do it.”

The man wasn’t angry because his ex-wife’s casket was broken. Instead, he took over his son’s and

said, “Let’s leave.”

The bodyguards helped them sit in the car protectively.

Soon they had gone, leaving a chaotic scene behind. A lot of family members got injured. Those

bodyguards were quite powerful. They couldn’t win against those bodyguards at all.

All of them were lying on the ground, crying and moaning miserably.

Theresa and Armand watched the scene not far away from them. Armand also took the video of what

happened just now.

“Was the woman just now that mistress?” Theresa could tell that she purposely knocked over the

casket. That woman was way too vicious.

Armand said, “I guess so.”

Since the man’s ex-wife could be forced to death, the mistress must be a scheming one.

“Armand, you must help this family. The Day family has gone too far!”

She saw the mid-aged woman crying while holding her daughter’s casket.

Armand sighed. “I do want to help them, but they must be cooperative.”

It seemed that the woman couldn’t do anything except for shedding tears. He didn’t have a clue how to

help them.

“Shall we go over?” asked Theresa.

Armand said, “Wait for a moment. Let’s go there after they’ve calmed down. If we go to ask them about

the case right now, I’m afraid we can’t get any information.”

Theresa said, “Okay. I agree with you.”

It was a weekend and Boyce was on vacation. He deliberately came back to visit Jasmine from another

city.

However, Jasmine didn’t know that Boyce would come back as he hadn’t called her. During the

weekend, since Boyce wasn’t home, she joined an outdoor activity organized by the school.

After receiving Boyce’s call, Jasmine knew that he had come back to town.

“Why didn’t you call me earlier?” Jasmine complained while sitting on a stone next to the brook. Right

then, she was on a mountain. She had finished setting up a tent with her classmates.

Boyce’s coworker suggested he go back without informing Jasmine ahead for a surprise. Boyce

thought that she would like it. Much to his surprise, Jasmine went out because she didn’t know about

his return.

Boyce asked, “Where are you now?”

Jasmine answered, “On South Mountain. I heard the sunrise here is quite pretty. My classmates and I

came to watch the sunrise...”

“I’ll go find you there.” After finishing his words, Boyce hung up the phone, got in his car, and was about

to find Jasmine on South Mountain.
