Chapter 143
That was when Lucy really started to believe that Charlie was a top lawyer, the kind who had never lost a case.
She wondered to herself how someone could seem so different from one moment to the next. Maybe it was just his personal charm. As she thought about it, she kept a serious look on her face.
She had the table cleared of food and took out the three notebooks Mabel had given her.
"These notebooks are full of my artist's ideas and notes for the comic book. They're way more detailed than what the other party has."
Charlie frowned and let out a sigh. "This isn't enough to prove who plagiarized who."
Lucy nodded. "I know, but we're going to win this lawsuit for sure."
Charlie was surprised by Lucy's confidence. He knew the case would be tough, especially with such little evidence. Even the best lawyer could not make a losing case win without solid proof.
Where was Lucy's confidence coming from? Sighing, she opened up Lunar Arthouse's comic online and pointed to the dates. "Look, every issue was published after Maple finished her drawings. It's clear who copied who."
Hearing Lucy's explanation, Charlie was puzzled. He closed his file and looked at Matthew, unable to believe what he was hearing.
"Is this really the case you dragged me into? Are you sure you need me for this one?"
Lucy let out a sigh. "That's just it. Matthew cares too much."
Clearly, Luna was the one who should be sweating over this lawsuit.
Matthew sat across the table. The muscle in his eye gave a little twitch, but he did not say a word to them.
"Sure, we're likely to win this case, but shouldn't we be more careful? What if they bring in that hotshot lawyer who could talk a fish into swimming on land? I'm just looking out for you, right?"
Lucy could not win the argument, so she clammed up.
Charlie could not help but chuckle.
He pulled the three hefty notebooks closer to him on the table and saved the comic screenshots from the website.
"Fine, I'll handle this case. Think of it as a little break. It's exhausting being on the go all the time."
Lucy's defense lawyer was ready to go.
Ever since Luna phoned Timothy, he got right on finding the city's top defense lawyer.
The moment they made the call, they hit a major snag.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Hello, is this Lawyer Casey Fore? This is Lucas Corporation. We'd like you to represent us in a comic plagiarism case."
Casey held the phone loosely,
half-listening as the person on the other end went over the details Without thinking, she asked, "Who's
suing who in this mess?" Content

The voice on the phone replied, "The defendant is Lunar Arthouse, and the party suing us is Lulu Comics."
Casey, who heard the familiar name,
picked up her phone and checked
the number: After a pause, she told the person on the line, "Thanks for your offer, but I won't take this
lawsuit. You'll have to find someone else."

With that, she hung up, leaving the assistant who had come to get her help wide-eyed with surprise.
