TimeNovelChapter 216 Chapter 216: Sabrina nodded, her voice firm with conviction. "Yes, the law is clear on that. But this company doesn't want to deal with maternity leave, so they forced my cousin to resign. The situation is worse than I thought. Over the past three years, they've coerced five pregnant women into quitting, all without any severance or compensation." Natalia's eyes flashed with a mix of admiration and disbelief. "You're here to fight for them." "Exactly," Sabrina said, her gaze lowering slightly, filled with resolve yet tinged with worry. "But their legal team is formidable. I recently got my law license, still building my experience. Alone, I can't take them down." Eric studied Sabrina with a newfound curiosity, his voice calm but probing. "You haven't graduated yet?" Sabrina nodded, offering a small, tentative smile. "Almost there. I'm interning for now." Natalia, already furious, shifted her focus to Eric, her voice tinged with urgency. "Are you planning to take action or not?" Eric, undeterred by the pressure, responded with measured resolve. "Jeffrey's case will be dealt with; don't worry about that." But Natalia was not about to let the matter slip so easily. "I'm aware of that, but what about the other women? The five pregnant employees? You can't just ignore them." Eric's lips curled into a knowing smirk as he leaned back, his eyes flashing with a hint of mischief. "I don't ccheap, Miss Carpenter. Are you sure you're willing to cover my legal fees?" Unfazed, Natalia folded her arms, her gaze sharp. "All you care about is money, huh? You're more materialistic than I thought. Fine. It's just money. I'll have my dad wire you whatever it takes. But you will make sure those women get justice." Eric's expression softened slightly, a rare glimmer of approval in his eyes. "Alright, it's a deal.” 1@t€şt ¢h▲þtêя$ íи galãovels.om Sabrina glanced at Eric, her unease evident. "Are you handling this on your own?" "I have an assistant," Eric replied, his tone steady, though his eyes hinted at a growing tension.
Sabrina's concern lingered, her voice faltering. "But their team has seven lawyers. Can you truly take them all on?" Eric's eyes hardened ever so slightly, his patience tested. "Are you questioning my capabilities?" Sabrina stammered, but before she could finish, the door to the meeting room swung open, and five sharply dressed individuals entered. Their confident strides filled the room with a heavy, almost oppressive presence. The leader of the group, a man whose posture oozed superiority, scanned the room with a condescending glance. "Which one of you is the lawyer?" Without hesitation, Eric stood tall, his voice cutting through the tension. “I am.”
The leader chuckled, a cold, dismissive sound that seemed to fill the air. One of the others sneered, clearly unimpressed, while the rest took their seats with an air of casual dominance.
One of them leaned forward, smirking. "I understand you want Nigel Welsh to l apologize?"
Eric replied, his tone devoid of hesitation, his words concise yet! charged with intent.
