Mediation And Reconciliation

Book:The Billionaire Alpha Contract Lover Published:2025-2-7

After a while, Jayden’s emotions gradually calmed down and he picked up his phone, glancing at Harper.
“I’ll call my cousin, he’s also a lawyer. Although he’s only good at handling property disputes, he can still help.”
After speaking, Jayden dialed the number and the other person quickly answered.
After Jayden explained the specific reasons, the other person sighed on the phone.
“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but this matter is just too small. It really won’t escalate to the point of going to court.”
“Besides, why bother with Preston’s ex-girlfriend? Do you think we have too much money or power?”
“You’re not young anymore. You should consider your parents more, instead of…”
“Okay, I got it.”
Before his cousin could finish lecturing him, Jayden hung up the phone directly.
After he hung up, he concealed his embarra*sment and smiled at Harper.
“I have a friend who is also a lawyer. I’ll give him a call.”
Seeing him pick up his phone to call someone else, Harper quickly reached out her fair hand and pressed down on his phone screen.
“Stop that.”
Jayden moved his gaze away from his finger on the screen and looked at Harper.
“Are you saying you won’t sue Preston?”
“Two lawyers have already made it clear.”
“But…”
Harper interrupted him.
“Here’s what I’ll do. I’ll go talk to Anthony and change the mediation conditions, so that Preston will apologize to you and promise not to bother me again.”
“Preston won’t agree to that.”
“I’ll try to talk to him first.”
After Harper and Jayden finished talking, they returned to their own rooms. Harper picked up the card left by Anthony and called him.
Just as Anthony finally lay down again, seeing that it was 5 a. m. and someone was calling him, he was so angry that he decided not to sleep anymore.
“Who is it?!”
“Anthony, it’s me.”
Harper’s gentle and generous voice came through:
“We don’t accept the terms of the mediation. Can we change it?”
Hearing Harper’s voice, Anthony raised an eyebrow, expecting her to compromise, but not this quickly.
“What do you want to change it to?””
Anthony raised the corner of his mouth and sneered.
“Harper, Jayden was the one who criticized Preston for being uncivilized. Although he was wrong to pester you, it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s uncivilized, right?”
Harper opened her lips as if she wanted to say something, but felt that the term “uncivilized” had risen to the level of the elders of the Knight pack
“This is the first time Preston has been called uncivilized. Even if he was coddled since pup period. Do you believe that if my rival called me that, I’d beat him right away?”
“Preston has been patient enough. If it weren’t for hearing you tell him to stop pestering you in the future, I believe he wouldn’t have been angry enough to hit someone. To be precise, this whole incident was instigated by your favoritism.”
As expected of a lawyer, Anthony quickly turned the tables on Harper with just a few words, leaving her speechless.
Seeing that Harper still hadn’t spoken for a while, Anthony, who was almost certain of his victory, spoke again.
“How about this? You make Jayden apologize to Preston first, and then I’ll have him apologize to Jayden. What do you think?”
Harper thought Anthony was joking with her, but couldn’t come up with any evidence.
Anthony was indeed joking with Harper, thinking that women always think too naively about things.
This kind of man fighting has nothing to do with women anymore. It’s about dignity.
Jayden accused Preston of moral corruption and lack of education in front of so many people. If Preston didn’t fight back, his friends” would do it for him.
However, there was no need to tell Harper about these, so as not to make a small matter worse by enlarging it.
The most urgent thing now was to make her give up the idea of suing and maintain the original mediation conditions.
“If you reconsider and make a decision, then call me back.”
Before Harper could respond, Anthony hung up the phone directly
Those with power can easily suppress you in anything you do, making it difficult to fight back.
Harper put down her phone and lay down on the bed, staring at the colorful night scene outside the window. She didn’t sleep all night. Edith, who was also on a business trip in the capital, heard from a friend that Preston had been involved in a fight at a nightclub.
She rushed to Preston’s mansion in the middle of the night and found him holding a bottle of alcohol, completely drunk.
She approached the man lying on the bar counter and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Why did you beat Harper’s boyfriend?”
Preston, with his drunken eyes, saw Edith’s figure and pushed her hand away impatiently, saying, “It’s none of your business.”
Edith put down her bag and tried to take away the bottle, saying, “Stop drinking. If you keep going, your stomach will be ruined.”
He never took anything seriously and only indulged in eating, drinking, and partying. She wished she could film it and send it to Griffon so that Griffon could teach him a lesson
Preston refused to let go of his bottle when Edith tried to take it from him and said, “Stop bothering me. Go back to your own home.”
Edith couldn’t get the bottle from him and got angry, saying, “Fine, just drink yourself to death.”
She said this and left with her bag, but halfway through, she turned back to look at him, still worried.
She was raised by several older brothers, so she couldn’t control them, but she could ask Rebecca for help.
Thinking of this, Edith left the house and called Rebecca before driving away.
Rebecca was also in the capital, after hearing about the thing, immediately went to Preston’s mansion.
Preston, who was completely drunk, finally fell asleep in bed, but was picked up by Rebecca’s bodyguard and thrown into the bathtub.
“Turn on the water and hold his head under it to sober him up!”
The bodyguard obeyed, and Preston quickly regained consciousness.
He struggled to get out of the bathtub and take a breath, only to see Rebecca’s cold face!
“Rebecca?”
He sat on the step under the bathtub, enduring the nauseating feeling in his stomach, leaning his head against the edge of the bathtub, and looked at her with blurry eyes.
“Why did you come here?”
“Why did I come here?!”
Seeing Preston’s disheveled appearance, Rebecca wished to slap him!
She thought Preston had changed after managing the Knight pack well, imitating Griffon’s behavior.
Who knew that this guy would come to the capital and cause trouble, sending Dr. Sherwood to the hospital and even to the police
station.
This fool who only knew how to ruin the pack’s reputation even wanted to win back Harper. which was simply wishful thinking!
Rebecca was getting angrier and angrier, and she rushed forward and grabbed Preston’s shirt collar.
“Come on, come home with me!”
“I’m not going back!”
