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 hones
raphy Competition of Y City has just launched. There is no theme or limit to the content of these photos, but the competition advocates for new visual and innovative methods to present the beauty around us. The first prize winner will win a hundred thousand dollars and an honor certificate. The runner-up will receive fifty thousand dollars and an honor certificate. The second runner up..."
'One hundred thousand dollars!' Immediately, the students were in an uproar. From what they knew, the last competition only offered fifty thousand as their cash prize to the first place. Now that the prize had doubled, it attracted many ears.
The professor continued, "The deadline is at the end of April. The specific details of the competition can be seen on the official website of the Photography Association of Y City. I hope that all of our students could sign up for it. Winning an honor certificate could be an asset in your resume."
Hyatt nudged Erica. "Are you going to sign up?"
"Of course!" she answered without hesitation. "Didn't you hear him talk about the honor certificate? Plus, imagine the camera lens I could buy with that much money! I'll definitely participate."
"I'll sign up too." He grinned.
Erica snorted. "Of course you would. Why else would you be in the Department of Photography? What kind of lens do you need? I can lend it to you."
Matthew had specifically built a collection room for her in the villa. It held at least a hundred cameras and different lenses that she could use.
