Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 637
Advertisement
Robert was scared. He guessed that Avery must have sneered at Mr. Howel.
But Robert had no choice; he had to follow Evan's command and called Owen.
When Avery received the phone call from Owen, she was packing her luggage. Even if Lawyer Owen refused to help her, Avery had decided to go to B country and deal with the lawsuit by herself.
Besides, Avery also wanted to visit Jessica.
Avery's phone rang. It was from lawyer Owen.
Owen had told Avery before that he needed to contact Evan and ask permission.
Avery understood because Owen was an important and influential lawyer for the Howels. Avery's ask was not enough for asking Owen to help Jessica.
Moreover, there were some conflicts between Mr. Howel and Avery. Therefore, even if Owen refused her, it was reasonable still.
Owen called Avery and said embarrassedly, "Miss. Peters, I'm sorry."
When Avery heard that word, sorry, she sneered, "Is it Mr. Howel's command?"
"Yes, it is from Mr. Howel," Owen said honestly, "If Miss. Peters is willing to call Mr. Howel. I guess he will change his mind."
"Uh-huh, I knew it. Evan wants me to call him. It is a terrible trick. I knew it," Avery thought to herself.
Avery shook her head, "Tell Mr. Howel. I dialed the wrong number."
Owen was silent for a while.
Then the call ended. Avery continued to pack her package and asked a maid to wake Diana up. The little princess was dangerous because of Diana. For ensure the safety of the little princess, Avery decided to bring Diana to A Country.
Since Diana wasn't with her still, Avery called Adan again. Avery hoped to take a lawyer from B Country to A Country.
After getting Avery's suggestion, Adan shook his head and said, "the princess, we are not allowed to take a lawyer from B Country to go to court in A Country."

"Do you have any reliable men in A Country to help us?"
"The President knows the President of A Country, but the President just knew him. In my opinion, the case is hard to solve. The President of A Country is a decent man. He won't put himself into a dilemma because of Jessica."
Avery became worried when she knew something more. It was hard to deal with the problem.
"What happened?" Diana asked.
Avery turned around looking at Diana, who was laid-back, leaning against the door for a while, but Avery didn't know how long Diana stayed.
"Have you overheard my phone call?"
"A maid said you asked me to go downstairs. Since you didn't close the door, I happened to hear."
Avery was angry and looked terrible. She didn't want to deal with all of that. However, Diana continued to add, "I know a powerful man in the police. Probably he can help you."
Avery raised her head and looked down and up at Diana as if she doubted whether it was true or not.
Diana knew Avery didn't believe her. She shrugged, "Forget about it. I can't help you. It is not easy to deal with the case."
"Why do you want to help me?"
"Since Mr. Lautner and Mr. Black all love you, I hope you can give up Evan if I can solve the problem successfully."
"Give up?" Avery thought to herself and narrowed her eyes, answering, "I don't have the right to make the decision."
"Fine, you can't interrupt Evan."
"I didn't."
"Very good. Since we made the promise, I will contact the chief of police. Keep your word."
Avery said nothing but agreed because she had decided not to get involved with Evan ever since she left him.

It was an early flight. Several hours later, Avery arrived in A Country.
Avery didn't have much time and started to take action immediately. Since Jessica was the suspect for a serious crime, Avery couldn't visit her. Instead, she met Jamie as soon as possible.
At night, Avery directly went to the restaurant appointed by Diana.
It was an open-air courtyard, built as a Chinese restaurant with quiet and elegant environments, luxury decorations, and fresh ingredients.
Avery looked decent, wearing a light blue woolen coat, a tight white sweater, and a plaid pleated skirt.
When she opened the door of the restaurant box, she saw most people had sat down.
Diana sat in the middle of a few middle-aged men who were about around forty and fifty. Diana was talking something with them and smiling shyly.
When Diana saw Avery was coming, she stood up and walked towards her with a smile, "Avery, you are coming. I just heard from you that there was a traffic jam on the road, but you finally came. We had been waiting for you for a long time. I suggest you apologize to the chief of police first and better go hit the keg and catch up."
"We seemed like friends," Avery thought to herself.
Avery glanced over these middle-age men. They wore a suit. According to their seats, Avery guessed that the man who was bald and had a beer belly is the chief of police.
"Please allow me to introduce: this is the chief of police, Mr. Harrison; this is Mr. Ronan; this is…." Diana introduced those men one by one.
"Come here, Avery. Sit between Mr. Harrison and Mr. Ronan," Diana pushed Avery from behind.
"Sit between two men?" Avery thought to herself.
Avery became anxious all of a sudden. She started to doubt what her motive would be. "Does she want to help me?"
Avery kept calm and pointed to the seat near the door, saying, "This seat would be better. It is for serving food. It would be inappropriate if officers sit there."
Avery refused Diana's arrangement in an appropriate way. She not only refused Diana but also showed her care about officers.
Mr. Ronan's face was oily, asking funnily, "Miss. Peters is a beautiful woman, as a man, we should treat you in a good way. Come on, sit between us. It is convenient to communicate."
Diana agreed with Mr. Ronan, "Yes. Yes. You should sit together. It is convenient to communicate."
Avery stood still thinking how to refuse them, but Mr. Ronan stood up and walked over her, reaching out to Mr. Ronan's shoulder and bringing her to the allotted seat.
Avery immediately turned away from Mr. Ronan and looked at his watch, saying, "Fine. I can sit between Mr. Ronan and Mr. Harrison, but I want to sit next to an empty seat."
"Two empty seats? That is to say. You will occupy two seats?" Diana asked angrily. She had never heard such a request. Moreover, some super officers were here too.
"No, I won't occupy two seats. Another man will come here."
