Chapter 222 Special - : #8
“What?” Anastasia blinked in surprise after hearing what Logan had said. “He didn’t request for any money?”
“Yes. As a matter of fact, it seemed like he was doing it not out of crude or hatred, but rather obligation. At first I thought something was wrong, I tried refusing it, trust me, but he insist and before I knew it, that bastard had dumped the concept and vanished.”
Anastasia brows knitted together more. This wasn’t at all in the file that Kareem had given her. In fact, going back to what he had told her when briefing her about the case, he said the employee’s motive for selling the concepts was because they had gotten fired and had a personal grudge against the company.
But that wasn’t the case, at least not from both sides.
“And did you tell your attorney this or-“
“Yes, I have. I even explained the whole goddamn thing to Riley when his lawyer dropped by yesterday, but he refused to listen. He thinks I’m covering for the employee.” Logan sighed. “Look, I’m telling you the truth, you don’t have to believe me, but please, convince the company and especially him, that I had no involvement in stealing their concept.”
“I apologize Mr. King, for I cannot assure you of anything.” Anastasia responded confidently as even now, even she didn’t know what to make of the case.
It had suddenly become so complicated.
Was this why they offered her 500 thousand dollars? Because they knew no other lawyer in the city would deal with this bullshit case?
Clever.
“Uh, this isn’t going to end good for my company.” Logan grumbled before hanging up the phone leaving Anastasia ti stare at the wall in confusion.
