Chapter 234 A Once and For All Solution
"My family has a legal team. I'll go back and talk to my dad. He'll definitely be happy to get our best lawyer to help Emily!"
Byron's relationship with Emily was acknowledged by Isaac, so he could guarantee this.
Hearing this, Sophia agreed, "Then let's have your family's best lawyer help Emily first. I'll handle Bianca's side. I'll go back and think about how to deal with Bianca."
She felt that Bianca was too dangerous and needed a once-and-for-all solution.
Emily was thinking the same thing.
She had more and more things to deal with now, and Bianca's constant troublemaking felt like a waste of time.
While Emily was thinking about how to deal with Bianca next, Byron had already gone back to find Isaac.
"Dad, Emily's in trouble. I need to use our family's lawyers to help Emily. You have to agree!"
Isaac didn't react right away.
Mainly because he'd been busy with new projects lately and hadn't been in touch with Emily for a while, so his mind hadn't caught up yet.
"Dad, you're not going to cross the bridge and burn it, are you? It was because of Emily that we got that great project from the Smith Group, and now you're just going to forget about her?"
Byron was practically pointing at Isaac's nose and calling him ungrateful.
Isaac was speechless.
What a headache!
Byron was scolding him, and he wondered why his life was so hard. But he didn't dare offend Byron, because Byron and Emily had a good relationship now, and the Reyes Group had gotten a lot of benefits from it.
"Alright, what's the situation? Ms. Johnson is so capable, how did she get arrested to the point where she needs a lawyer?"
"How would I know? But I believe Ms. Johnson. She said she'd be fine. I'm taking your agreement about the lawyer as a yes. I'm going to find a lawyer right now."
Byron was about to leave in a hurry.
"Why the rush? I didn't say I wouldn't agree. Actually, I think we don't need to find a lawyer. Someone will naturally help Ms. Johnson!"
Isaac quickly stopped Byron.
But Byron misunderstood, thinking Isaac was just saying nice things but wasn't actually willing. "Stop trying to fool me. Whether you want to or not, you have to. Worst case, I'll pay for a lawyer myself."
Isaac felt frustrated, wondering why Byron hadn't inherited his intelligence.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten about Mr. Smith. Is it your turn to play hero? Go on, just wait. By tomorrow at the latest, Ms. Johnson will be out."
Isaac's tone was certain.
Byron had indeed almost forgotten about Daniel.
Mainly because Emily was so strong that men had become background characters.
"What if he's a bad guy who just doesn't care when he sees Ms. Johnson in trouble?" Byron felt that as a man himself, he understood some men's flaws and couldn't help worrying.
"You think Mr. Smith is like you? A man like him, if he doesn't care, that's one thing, but once he does, he won't change his mind easily. If you're worried, just wait until tomorrow. If there's no result, then take a lawyer over. It's just one night, it won't affect Ms. Johnson."
Isaac had seen the way Daniel looked at Emily.
That day, Emily had made him submit with her strength alone, and Daniel was still willing to give her good projects. This showed his dedication and his character.
He could build the Reyes Group to such a large scale not just because of good opportunities and catching the right trends, but more because of his keen insight.
Byron thought about it and realized that made sense.
He was convinced by Isaac and obediently went home to wait.
When Sophia asked him about it and learned he hadn't gotten the family lawyer, she thought he was completely unreliable.
She was about to attack him, "I knew you men were useless. Someone like you doesn't deserve to be Ms. Johnson's follower. Bah! All talk. If you won't save her, I'll do it myself."
"Why are you so anxious? I didn't say I wouldn't save her. Here's what happened..."
Byron patiently explained what Isaac had said.
"Mr. Smith has such status. If he really cares about Ms. Johnson and gets a lawyer, won't that be better than my family's lawyer! Also, we can use this to test Mr. Smith. With his status, we don't usually get a chance to check him out for Ms. Johnson. Now's our chance."
Byron added his own thoughts.
Sophia thought about it and realized he had a point.
"You're right. If Mr. Smith can really care for Ms. Johnson, then in the future Ms. Johnson won't have to work so hard. She'll have someone to rely on, and such an important person at that. I'd be happy for Ms. Johnson!"
It wasn't that Emily necessarily needed a man to do things.
It's just that she knew about Emily's loneliness and pain along the way, and she felt sorry for her.
So she hoped that in the future, there would be someone to walk with her, and when she encountered storms, there would be someone to hold an umbrella for her.
And Daniel didn't disappoint them.
At this moment, Daniel and Stanley came to the police station together.
He didn't get out of the car, waiting in the car for Stanley to handle things.
In less than half an hour, Emily came out of the police station with Stanley.
"Ms. Johnson, you don't need to worry about what comes next. As long as you haven't committed a crime, no one can frame you."
Stanley walked Emily to the roadside and said.
Nearby was Daniel's car.
Emily was very surprised to see Stanley.
She suddenly remembered what happened at the law enforcement bureau a long time ago.
At that time, Stanley had come to help Bianca, and she had directly assumed Stanley was James's person.
Now, James wasn't in the country.
And James probably didn't know about her arrest, much less would have found Stanley to help her.
She carefully recalled what Stanley had said when she saw him.
Could the person Stanley mentioned be Daniel, not James?
Then why did Daniel help Bianca back then, and why did he start approaching her?
Emily had suffered too much betrayal and deception, so she had no sense of security and had become more suspicious.
Too many bad thoughts flashed through her mind.
For example, Daniel actually liked Bianca, and he was just plotting step by step for Bianca's sake, first provoking her, then toying with her.
The car door next to her opened at this moment, revealing Daniel's tall and noble figure inside.
"Ms. Johnson, Mr. Smith is waiting for you in the car. Why don't you get in first?"
York got out of the car and actively invited her.
Emily pulled herself out of her thoughts. She looked up and met Daniel's deep eyes, like whirlpools that seemed to draw her entire being in.
She shouldn't blame Daniel for James's mistakes.
That wasn't Daniel's fault.
Especially since he had come all the way to Zephyria to save her, regardless of the danger.
Since she had questions in her heart, and he was right here, she might as well ask him face to face.
After nodding to thank Stanley, Emily got in the car.
Daniel's face was hidden in the darkness, and the dim yellow light in the car made his face unclear, so naturally his emotions couldn't be seen either.
He glanced sideways, but was afraid Emily would notice, so he was careful.
However, he vaguely sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.
It was as if a wall had suddenly appeared between Emily and him.
Daniel finally couldn't help but speak, "Are you okay? How was it at the law enforcement bureau?"
Emily replied flatly, "Fine, nothing happened."
She suddenly turned slightly to face Daniel, her expression more serious than ever, "Daniel, don't you have something to explain to me?"
The sudden question made the atmosphere suddenly cold.
Daniel's heart jumped. Could she know about his crazy and twisted thoughts of wanting to hide her away?
He tried hard to suppress his fear of possibly losing her and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't quite understand what you mean. If I've done something wrong, please tell me directly."
As long as she told him, he could change!
Daniel didn't say the last part. He didn't want to show his humble side in front of her.
Emily looked at his attitude, thought for a moment, and decided to be direct, "About Stanley - don't you owe me an explanation?"
