Freya met his gaze directly, “Ugly but not fickle.”
Elijah raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile in his eyes, “Am I fickle?”
“You… for now, you’re okay. But who knows about the future…”
Elijah lowered his head to nibble on her nose tip, “I won’t.”
Freya pushed him away, “Ouch.”
Elijah looked at her, a beautiful smile on his face, hiding sparkling eyes underneath his thick, curly lashes, “Where does it hurt?”
Freya hesitated,
Is he being serious now?
She said seriously, “Don’t mess around, I’m not in the mood.”
“Okay.” Elijah was obedient and got up.
They both straightened out their clothes and emotions.
Elijah asked, “By the way, did you come to the company to find me?”
Freya replied, “Yes, I had something to discuss with you, but it’s resolved now.”
“Resolved so quickly?” Elijah frowned, “What was it that got resolved so quickly?”
Freya told him the truth, “I was sued, and I wanted to find a good lawyer, so I went to the company to ask for your help. But since you were not there, Evan introduced me to a lawyer from the company’s legal department who seemed very capable and said he could help me.”
She didn’t tell him this, but Evan would have informed Elijah anyway.
She didn’t want to bother Elijah.
But when things couldn’t be resolved, she had to seek help.
“Okay, you can completely trust the company’s legal team.” Elijah said.
Freya nodded, “Okay, you focus on dealing with Thorne and the Silverton family’s funeral affairs. As for my case, I’ll communicate with the lawyer.”
Elijah nodded, “I will inform the legal department.”
…
News of Jack’s death spread.
Sending shockwaves through the entire Urbora City!
No matter how much the Silverton family declined, a living camel was still bigger than a dead horse. Besides, Elijah’s power was even greater than the Silverton family’s at its peak!
Naturally, it attracted a lot of attention from the outside world.
Elijah kept a low profile.
He put Colton Silverton in charge of the funeral publicly.
Those who came to mourn were Jack’s close friends and relatives, as well as those who had a good relationship with the Silverton family.
None of Elijah’s friends showed up.
He didn’t allow them to come.
The funeral was held in a very grand manner.
After all, Jack was a prominent figure in his youth.
As he grew older, he became confused and drifted apart from Elijah.
Causing the decline of the Silverton family!
In theory, Freya should have appeared at the funeral.
After all, she was the daughter-in-law.
She also had a duty to pay respects!
However, Freya didn’t come.
Because she was summoned to court.
The old director remained in a coma, hanging by a thread.
The director’s son was suing Freya, not for compensation but to admit that she was at fault in the incident. If the old director died, she would bear all the responsibility!
Compensation would then be justifiable.
Freya remained silent in the face of the accusations.
Her lawyer answered all the questions on her behalf.
Freya’s lawyer had prepared, investigating the incident and the people present at the time.
The people in the institute were all supportive of Freya.
Because they knew that Freya’s intention at the time was to save a life.
The lawyer spoke earnestly to the director’s son, “If I were you, I would thank Mrs. Freya because of her, your father is still alive. If she hadn’t operated under pressure, your father would have died long ago.”
“No, you’re wrong. Our focus is on the fact that her surgery was not in accordance with regulations. She was not a family member of the patient, what authority did she have to make that decision?”
“Mrs. Freya is indeed not a family member of the patient, but she was very close to the patient. If we follow your logic, when we see someone dying on the street and needing CPR, do we need to seek consent from their family before performing rescue? Then I ask you, is there time for that? If someone dies, would you blame us for not performing CPR? Would you prioritize procedures or human life?!”
“Rules are meant to guide, not to take lives away!”
