Chapter 234 Potential Client
It was clear that Melody had outsmarted Amanda with her innovative tactics.
Otherwise, the two would have ended up in a deadlock.
Amanda had lost the match.
Yet, there was no sign of disappointment in her eyes of her demeanor for losing the competition. Instead, she stepped forward with calm composure and said, “Congratulations, Madam Moore! As per our agreement, I will transfer the land in Surriware entirely into your
- me.
After all, it was just a stretch of land in the middle of nowhere that Amanda had little interest in.
Whether she kept it or not didn’t matter to her; she was more than happy to hand it over to the bumpkin.
Melody nodded with a cool demeanor, trying to suppress the overwhelming joy bubbling inside her.
She added, “Well, could you also handle the taxes for the land transfer, Ms. Jenson?”
When land changes hands, taxes inevitably come into play.
Amanda frowned slightly, feeling that Melody was pushing her luck.
She dismissed her doubts when she saw Melody’s reddened blemishes and the potential damage this encounter could do to her reputation.
Amanda agreed graciously, “Since I have lost the match, I will certainly accommodate Madam Moore’s request. I will take care of the tax issues.”
The Jensons owned quite a bit of land on the outskirts of Surriware. Based on current market rates, transferring some less valuable parcels would involve significant tax payments.
With a simple request, Melody had potentially saved herself millions.
This realization left Amanda feeling slightly uneasy.
Melody nodded in satisfaction. She was aware that Amanda was cooking up some trouble, which was why she was playing it cool.
However, if Amanda wanted to find fault with her, she would need to pay a price.
Therefore, Melody pressed further, “Oh, regarding the taxes for the land transfer, we should definitely leave it to a professional lawyer.
Ms. Jenson has just returned to the country and probably isn’t familiar with the local law firms, right?
“How about this? You can hand this to my legal team, and I’ll only charge you 30 percent of the legal fees. What do you say?”
Melody raised an eyebrow, throwing out the olive branch to Amanda.
Amanda hesitated to agree.

Chapter 234 Potential Client
Melody understood her dilemma. Derrick was the top lawyer in Sommerville
Despite her recent defeat, which dented his confidence he had built a solid reputation over the years.
Many people would prefer the well–established Justice Law Firm over a newly formed team.
Melody intentionally offered to take on this case. She was aware that Amanda felt guilty. She had drugged her and was hesitant to bring up Derrick, particularly given his association with Suzanna.
Amanda would surely act as if she didn’t know Derrick, given that he was Suzanna’s brother.
As expected. Amanda’s brow furrowed deeply. After a long internal struggle, she still couldn’t bring herself to mention Derrick’s name.
Reluctantly, she agreed. Then I’ll leave it in your hands!”
Melody raised her brow and let out a sincere, courtesy smile. “Thank you, Ms. Jenson, for trusting our new legal tearn at YM. We will work hard to meet your expectations!”
Melody thought to herself that she merely spoke a few words and managed to make a woman part with a huge amount of money.
She almost moved herself to tears
Amanda gritted her teeth in rage. She considered herself Melody’s rival, yet her rival was actually treating her like a potential client?
Had she lost her mind?
As the tea banquet began to wind down, a bodyguard rushed into the foyer, urgency written all over his
face
“There’s a group outside creating a scene, he declared They’re waving banners, demanding to see Mrs. Melody and seek justice!
Melody raised an eyebrow, her face remaining calm despite the redness covering it.
She asked, “Oh Do you spot any familiar faces among them?”
The bodyguard looked up and nodded firmly. He grumbled in rage, “Your brother is out there with a woman whose face is a complete mess. They say she’s your sister
Suzanna, and she’s insisting on seeing
you
“And there’s a man out there who isnt even a fraction at handsome as Mr. Moore, claiming to be your ex- boyfriend before you got married”
Alfred widened his eyes Impresive! This bodyguard deserves a raise! He clearly knows how to negotiate for a promotion.
