Paul felt frustrated. He didn't get Fabiana's money, and now they wanted to install surveillance in his house? Of course, he wouldn't agree to that.
Wilfred said, "If you don't want to install it, then we'll go through legal procedures. In any case, this matter must be resolved today."
"You..." Paul was furious and glared at Wilfred, saying, "What kind of lawyer are you? Installing surveillance to monitor us? Don't you know that's illegal?"
Wilfred replied, "I've already said that we won't watch the surveillance footage. We would only upload the footage to the cloud, which is just to prevent you from deleting it. We don't have access to watch it. Only the police will have the right to view the footage if you hurt Ms. Klaud. Do you understand what I mean?"
Paul choked for a moment. He couldn't find a reason to refute him since Wilfred had already explained it.
In any case, Wilfred's attitude was clear. Either they installed surveillance or went to court. Those were the only two options.
"Fine, be my guest! Do whatever you want!" Paul angrily turned his head and sat on the couch. He didn't want to argue anymore.
What advantage could he gain from arguing with a lawyer?
"Alright, it's settled then. If you don't want to pay, we'll cover the cost of installing the surveillance."
"Whatever, just hurry up and finish it. What the f*ck!" Paul cursed with a grim face.
Wilfred nodded, then discussed with Lilian. Lilian agreed to cover the cost.
With the surveillance installed, Lilian felt slightly relieved. She bid farewell to Fabiana with reluctance and left Paul's house with Wilfred.
Next, they would go buy the surveillance equipment.
Lilian looked gratefully at Wilfred and typed "Thank you" on her phone.
Wilfred smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm glad I could help, Ms. Rossum. By the way, do you know that I charge by the hour?"
Lilian was slightly taken aback. She hadn't asked about his fees before.
She nervously typed to ask him, "How much will it cost?"
Wilfred smiled, "Four thousand dollars per hour."
Lilian widened her eyes and thought to herself, 'How could he be so expensive...'
Wilfred looked down at his wristwatch and said, "Well, it's exactly five hours. I charge different rates for different stages, but since your case took a relatively short time, let's just go with the standard price." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Lilian clenched her phone. She had money in her bank account, but... The money she had now was borrowed from Courtney, and she had to pay her back.
But if she didn't pay Wilfred now, he might sue her...
She gritted her teeth and typed, "Give me your account."
Wilfred took out his phone and sent his bank account to her WhatsApp, "We'll need to sign a contract later. Well, after we finish the work here."
Lilian sighed and transferred twenty thousand dollars to Wilfred's account.
Although she felt a little frustrated about the high price, the money was well spent, since Wilfred helped her resolve Fabiana's problem, which relieved her worries.
"Do I need to accompany you to buy surveillance equipment?" Wilfred asked.
He smiled kindly, but Lilian sensed a hint of cunning. She used to think he was an upright person, but now she had to change her impression of him.
Lilian signed to him, "Is there a fee?"
Wilfred chuckled at her message, "Haha... No charge. Just consider it a free gift service."
Lilian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
After all, if she went to install the surveillance without Wilfred, she was afraid that Paul would go back on his words.
Wilfred opened the car door and said, "Get in."
Lilian got in the car. And as the car left the neighborhood, it headed straight to the electronics center.
Unbeknownst to them, there was a car parked on the side of the road behind them, and a pair of cold eyes were watching them.
"Follow them."
