Jacob glanced at Matilda in bewilderment. “Matilda, are you very proficient in law and the firm?”
Paul chuckled and said, “Uncle, don’t underestimate my mother. In fact, she is also a Ph.D. graduatefrom Yale. She and my father met at the Master’s School at Yale and married afterward. Later, myfather founded the law firm and my mother was always there to assist him. If not because of mymother, my father’s career would not take off and sail so smoothly.”
Then, he sighed, “Too bad I’m still not capable of handling the firm myself yet, so I need my mother’shelp to assist me.”
Matilda chuckled, “Son, you have done a great job. I hope that you can grow up as soon as possibleand take over the company as a whole, then I can finally enjoy my retirement.”
She couldn’t help sighing, “Now that I’m back to China and Aurous Hill, my biggest dream is not to startour family business here, but to enjoy the retirement life of an Chinese old lady peacefully.”novelbin

This was why the lawyers in the States were very professional. In fact, they would do anything at all towin their cases because the monetary interest behind the cases was so lucrative that they could neverlook away.
