When the One I Love Betrays

KYKB 110

Hadi grew increasingly panicked, as his lawyer instead resigned from the case after he found out who the lawyer's opponent he would face. Hadi did not even believe that the lawyer he had paid expensive even for one car was back away, not even afraid of a double fine if he violated the contract.

"Mr Santoso, how could you just back off? I've spent a lot of money to pay you!" annoyed Hadi who did not accept the lawyer who already knew the ins and outs of the problem between himself and Sila instead just back away from the case about Mika's custody.

"Sorry Mr. Hadi, I will give you back the money you gave me and the penalty fine. But if I had to deal with Jeremy Darrow, I'm afraid I can't even defy his alibi for a single word. And the result is that my career is over!" Santoso. Hadi's former lawyer who seems very afraid of the lawyer from Sila's side.

Hearing what Santoso said, Hadi with an annoyed face immediately voiced in a high tone.

"Who is Jeremy Darrow, what is he. Then why would you be a lawyer if you only heard Jeremy Darrow's name was scared?" asked Hadi annoyed, he had even spoken while clenching his hands.

"Sorry Mr. Hadi, I'll transfer the money soon...!"

Tut's... Tut's... Tut's....

Santoso decided on a call from Hadi.

"Santoso sir, hello .. hello...!" Hadi continued to call Mr. Santoso even though he had heard a broken tone.

"Damn!" pekik Hadi who almost slammed his phone.

But his common sense was still with him, he grasped tightly the phone because of the many important data in it.

Hadi held his head which felt very painful and throbbing. Susan who had noticed Hadi had immediately found out about the name of the lawyer that Hadi mentioned earlier on the tablet he held.

Susan had a very surprised expression when she got the data on who Jeremy Darrow was. The more Susan read word for word about a lawyer who had won all the cases she handled without losing a single time made Susan swallow her saliva with so much difficulty.

"Mas, it seems like this lawyer is not a random person. Thousands of cases in recent years with zero failure percentage!" obviously Susan with such a weak tone of voice.

'After all, Hadi would never let go of Mika. How about this, I should advise mas Hadi to find another lawyer!' thought Susan wouldn't let Mika's foster care fall into Sila's hands.

Susan knows Hadi very well, she wouldn't be able to do it without her daughter. Although she believes Hadi loves her, but her affection for Mika is indeed not contestable.

Hadi who now feels that his position is high is not willing to give up just like that.

"Who is Jeremy Darrow. Impossible in this city there is no other lawyer who is unable to defeat him!" exclaiming Hadi who is now even in a waist-random position and walking to and fro.

His mouth was indeed as if he said he did not panic and was not worried about Jeremy Darrow who was a lawyer from Sila's side. But his attitude clearly showed that he was very worried.

"Mas, if you want to find another lawyer. We have to hurry. The problem is the trial is tomorrow at ten in the morning. I'll cancel all appointments for you today. Momentum mas!" susan said, which made Hadi understand.

Hadi sighed, at least he still had Susan willing to support him. Hadi thought that Susan also really wanted custody of Mika fell on Hadi because she also loved Mika very much.

But what was in Hadi's mind was not true at all. Susan helped Hadi for herself. Because he knew that Mika's custody fell on Sila, Hadi could have returned to pursue Sila to be with Mika.

Because neither Hadi nor Susan either knew that Sila was married to Dave.

"Mas, I've cancelled all your promises today with the client. And I've also contacted some lawyers' offices, we can start from Gerald law n friends. I've reached out to secretary lawyer Gerald to make an appointment in thirty minutes!" obviously Susan who makes Hadi so grateful there is Susan who is able to handle everything when she can not think clearly because of anxiety about losing custody of Mika, her favorite daughter.

"Good work Susan, come on!" invite Hadi who does not want to waste a second to get a lawyer who is able to fight Jeremy Darrow. Not the one who is able to more precisely who wants, because of what he heard from Santoso earlier. Even he chose to step down rather than his career ending if he lost to Jeremy Darrow.

A few minutes later, Hadi and Susan arrive at Gerald's attorney's office.

At first they were greeted with a friendly and warm welcome. But once heard his opponent was Jeremy Darrow. Gerald and his assistant even immediately refused without reading Hadi's case first.

"Jeremy Darrow?" gerald asked with an eyebrow that rose upwards.

"Yes, Mr. Gerald. But this case is very burdensome opponent, the ex-wife of Mr. Hadi has been cheating, and...!"

"Sorry Mr. Hadi, I can't seem to help you!" sela Gerald before Susan could finish giving her an explanation.

Hadi's face looked surprised. And so did Susan.

"But Mr. Gerald, this case is incriminating..!"

"You want this case to be tough on the other side or not, but against Jeremy Darrow! it was the same as giving up my career that I had built for a dozen years. Don't you two know who Jeremy Darrow is? his father and grandfather were very reluctant lawyers in England. And Jeremy himself, no one's beaten him in the last ten years. I'm sorry, but I have to go now!" said Gerald who immediately stood up and left Hadi and Susan who were still in a state of shock.

Hadi clenched his hands tightly.

"Damn!" pekik Hadi smacked his hand on the table.

Seeing Hadi who was so frustrated, Susan also became more confused.

"Mas, let's try somewhere else. Senior lawyer Budiman, maybe he can help us!" said Susan tried to take Hadi to another lawyer.

"Come on!" bring Hadi.

They both ended up going to another lawyer's office, but unfortunately the same thing that happened in Gerald's attorney's office happened here.

"Whatever Mr. Hadi will pay me, I will not accept this case. Fighting Jeremy Darrow is tantamount to destroying your own career!" lawyer of Budiman.

Hadi sighed and rubbed his face violently. Meanwhile, Susan, she starts to panic because three famous lawyers say the same sentence about the case.

'How is this?' susan asked who had started to panic in her heart.
