Chapter 107 PARTNERSHIP

Raphael's P O V

After taking Naya home, I called Owen to send me the documents required for the lawyer who would help transfer the property to my wife's name. Upon receiving them in my email, I promptly forwarded them to Jeff Martin, my father's attorney, before heading to his office.

''I'm sorry, Raphael, but I can't accept this work...'' Jeff said, shaking his head and sliding the printed documents across the table towards me. ''You know the types of cases I handle don't usually cover such small-scale civil lawsuits...''

''What? But why?'' I furrowed my brows, staring at him in disbelief. ''You're my dad's lawyer. You're the most brilliant lawyer I've ever known, Jeff. Please, help me, just this once...''

But he shook his head once more. ''I'm sorry. Accepting such a case could impact my professional reputation. I hope you understand my situation, Raphael...''

I exhaled deeply, reclining in my seat, contemplating how to persuade the man sitting before me.
