Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Walter's eyes sank when he heard that. He took out a hundred dollars and placed it on the table. "Ms. Clayton, I've understood
the situation for now. If there's anything else I need to know, I'll contact you. I'll settle the bill."
After that, he rose to his feet and walked out of the milk tea shop with a dark and gloomy expression on his face.
"Wait, your change." The owner of the milk tea shop immediately called out to him when he saw the hundred dollars on the table.
Walter did not reply and left without looking back.
The owner turned to look at Lisa. Their small milk tea shop did not usually face this kind of situation. He suggested, "How about
you keep it?”
Lisa shook her head. She was going through tough times, but she did not want to take advantage of anyone. "Keep the tip given
by Mr. Long," replied Lisa.
The milk tea shop owner looked at the hundred dollars. It was not like he was short of money, but a tip...
His shop was not a high-end restaurant. Therefore, he said, "I noticed that the look on Mr. Long's face didn't look too good."
Lisa wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face when her
emotions were running high just now.
She had shed so many tears over the years.
Finally, this day had come.
When the police recommended Walter to her, she looked into his background on the internet.
She knew about the cases Walter had handled before, and she believed that Walter could help seek justice for her daughter and
husband.
"It must be because of that lawyer who's representing the foreigner," guessed Lisa. After leaving the milk tea shop, she walked
straight toward her home.
She had even taken leave from the factory to meet Walter. Fortunately, her superiors were understanding and sympathetic to her
situation. Hence, they did not say much about her request for leave.

On the other hand...
After Shandra got into the car, the driver headed toward the business hotel.
Ethan, who was in another car, was asking the interpreter about what happened. His thoughts were a bit jumbled, and when he
listened to the interpreter recounting the incident, an ominous cloud hovered over him.
"Can Shandra handle this matter properly?" Ethan frowned. He thought that the business trip was meaningless this time.
How could they get things done when the victim's family was in such an emotional state?
It seemed like they could only meet in court.
The interpreter did not say much, considering how embarrassing the situation had become.
"Look into Walter's detailed information and background," instructed Ethan. He had heard of Walter Long. Those in the same
profession as him praised him as being a formidable lawyer.
That was why they initially wanted him to handle Matysh's case.
However, Ethan had not thoroughly investigated just how capable Walter really was.
"Okay, Mr. Ethan," replied the interpreter. He had also heard of Walter, but he was not a professional lawyer. That was why he
did not know much about him.
He took his phone out, intending to gather information about Walter on the internet.
In the other car, Yvette looked at Shandra's dark and gloomy face. She took a deep breath. She did not expect the situation to
escalate like this.
After all, when Lisa agreed to meet them, she assumed that the other party would be reasonable and understand their role as
lawyers.
However, they were met with a torrent of insults.
Sometimes, defending someone did not mean their values were aligned with that person's. This point was often misunderstood.

Yvette felt that she had made a mistake today and apologized to Shandra in a soft tone, "Ms. Cullen, I'm sorry. I should've been
more detailed when I talked to Ms. Clayton on the phone."
She believed that if she had been more detailed, perhaps Lisa would not have agreed to meet them.
"It's not your fault," replied Shandra, but her tone was still stiff. "Lisa has been influenced by Walter."
She thought that Walter's choice to come today and meet Lisa earlier than them was intentional, and it was to manipulate Lisa's
actions.
If Lisa had cooperated, she could have gathered more information. It would have been difficult for her to play the sympathy card
too, which would be detrimental to Matysh's case. Now, things were advantageous for Walter.
Their goal was to minimize the number of years Matysh would spend in prison.
Meanwhile, Walter wanted to prolong his sentence and ideally have him sent back to Russia to serve additional time.
Their positions were inherently opposing.
"Ms. Cullen, this case is really difficult to handle. Maybe we should let it go..." Yvette tried to persuade her. There were many
people in the world who had suffered worse fates than Lisa. However, after she heard Lisa's tearful pleas earlier, Yvette
genuinely felt that they should not defend someone like Matysh, who had committed such despicable acts against women.
Shandra lifted her gaze. Her emotions were icy, seemingly unaffected by the earlier scene at the milk tea shop.
Perhaps she had already recovered.
Shandra replied to Yvette, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Do you remember the first lesson all of us learned in law
school?"
Yvette fell silent for a few seconds and replied, "I remember, Ms. Cullen..."
They had already signed the retainer agreement. They could not just refuse to defend Matysh.
Although Yvette still felt uncomfortable about it, she did not say a word.
The driver parked the car in the business hotel parking lot and reminded them, "Ms. Cullen, we've arrived at the hotel."

Shandra grabbed her briefcase and pushed open the door, stepping out of the car.
Yvette picked up her identification card and registered at the front desk. After completing the process, she handed the room
cards to them.
The two drivers would share one room, while the four of them would each have their own.
Shandra held the room card and walked into the elevator first. Yvette and Ethan followed behind her.
As Ethan looked at the numbers that gradually went up as the elevator rose, he could not help but ask, "Ms. Cullen, considering
the woman's attitude, do we still need to stay here?"
He believed that even if they were to meet that woman tomorrow, it would not change anything. It might be better to return to A
City right away.
"Why do we need to stay here? This hotel isn't particularly high-end," asked Ethan.
Shandra glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and replied calmly, "I won't give up easily on this matter."
This was not the first time she had encountered a situation like this. As long as she set her mind to something, it would only be a
matter of time before she succeeded.
Those who persevered would always reap rewards.
Shandra had initially planned for two days, but now, she had changed her mind. It might take several days to resolve everything
here.
"Why are you so determined?" asked Ethan.
"It's difficult to dismiss Mr. Matysh's case, but what I can do is gather more details about the case and find a breakthrough point
to reduce his sentence," answered Shandra as she watched the elevator reach the desired floor and stepped out of it.
Ethan felt dissatisfied.
"Mr. Matysh wants to walk away without bearing any consequences."
Shandra paused and replied, "Do you think that's possible? Even if Mr. Matysh were an ordinary person committing a crime in
Russia, he wouldn't be able to walk away unscathed and without taking responsibility for his actions. The same principle applies

here. Mr. Matysh is just an ordinary person in A City. A City is no longer in an era where special treatment is given to foreign
guests. Those who break the law are treated equally."
Ethan was taken aback by her words. However, he also knew that what she said was realistic.
Even if he did not understand the intricacies of A City's legal system, he knew that it would be challenging to win Mr. Matysh's
case.
However, he had to carry out Matysh's instructions.
