Peter is already waiting downstairs, and as soon as Jane Sampson gets in the car, she hurriedly asks Peter, "How did Nina Rice get injured? Is it serious?"
"She was ambushed; Alexander Forest secretly arranged a bodyguard for her. The stick eventually hit the bodyguardâs back, but when she dodged, she missed a step and fell from the building. I donât know how she is now," Peter said. "The stick was an iron rod, and I heard it hit the bodyguard so hard that he couldnât stand up at the time."
"It must be Sister Graceâs scumbag ex-husband who hired someone to do it!" Janeâs first suspect was that scumbag.
"Thereâs only a small chance it wasnât him. After all, Nina has only offended him recently," Peter nodded. "The property redistribution lawsuit between Sister Grace and her ex-husband has drawn widespread attention from all sectors of society, so the court expedited the case. Previously, Nina said the time was set for tomorrow afternoon at three oâclock."
"He must be thinking that if he injures Nina, no one would support Sister Grace in the lawsuit tomorrow afternoon. Whatever he has in hand will still be his, and he can delay the time to think of another way to transfer it," Jane said. "This lawsuit almost guarantees a win for Nina with enough concrete evidence, which scared that scumbag into resorting to such despicable tactics."
"After his malicious deeds were made public, he truly became like a rat that everyone wanted to beat. Later, he sought out many well-known lawyers in the industry to fight Nina in this lawsuit, but not a single lawyer was willing to take his case. Those lawyers all told him to just wait to lose," Peter shared, knowing just a few things from chatting with Nina.
Specifically, who finally served as that scumbagâs agent lawyer, Peter doesnât know now either.
One and a half hours later, the three finally arrived at the hospital.
Ninaâs parents, including her grandparents, are already in the hospital.
Before Jane even enters the room, she can hear Ninaâs parents cursing someone in the wardânot cursing Nina, their daughter, but cursing Sister Graceâs scumbag ex-husband.
"Jane is here!" Grandpa Rice saw Jane enter and beckoned to her, "Here to see Nina?"
"Yes, Grandpa Rice, how is Nina doing?" Jane had been worried all the way over.
"She wasnât too lucky; she dodged the attack but missed a step and fell down the staircase, fracturing her left foot," Grandpa Rice still felt a bit fearful. "The bodyguard who saved her had it rough; he broke two ribs and will need a good amount of rest. This time, thanks to Alexander Forest secretly arranging this bodyguard for her, otherwise the one who wouldnât be able to say a word now due to two broken ribs would be this little lass Nina."
"Have they caught the attacker?" James Black glanced at Nina on the sickbed, who appeared to be in decent spirits, and felt much relieved, following up with the core issue of the matter.
"The attacker ran after the assault and managed to escape. Weâve reported it to the police, but we donât know if theyâll be able to catch the person," Mother Rice said. "Even if they havenât caught the person, I know itâs that scumbag. Previously, no lawyer would act as his agent lawyer, and he even went to my consulting firm to find my secretary, trying to get me to be his chief agent lawyer, but I refused."
What that scumbag was scheming for in looking for Mother Rice is evident without much thought.
He wanted to see the mother and daughter in a courtroom showdown. Mother Rice, after all, has nearly 30 years of experience in the field. In the scumbagâs heart, he thought, the older ginger is spicier; surely, the mother can beat the daughter.
