Chapter 556: Chapter 556 Trapped by Someone (1)_1

Meanwhile, Brown Kress, who was downstairs, saw the incoming phone number on his cellphone. Picking up the call, he went on a tirade, "Xia Yujie, you bastard, you actually schemed against me. Let me tell you, I, Brown Kress, am not someone the Dragon Society can easily calculate. I’m telling you, if you don’t revise this contract, just see how I will deal with you."

On the other end of the line, Xia Yujie had the phone on speaker, so both Liu Yuxiang and Oster could hear Brown Kress’s arrogant words. Oster, after hearing what Brown Kress said, disdainfully curled his lip.

He thought to himself. How arrogant Brown Kress is, even when things are coming to a head. What sort of caliber is the Brown Group to even compare with the Dragon Society?

Liu Yuxiang was more direct as he spoke into the phone, "Brown Kress, what’s there for you to be so arrogant about? Your broken-down Brown Family is just all talk, thinking you’re so impressive. Our Dragon Society truly does not take your Brown Family seriously. And let me tell you, Brown Kress, we did calculate against you, so what?"

Having said that, he didn’t wait for Brown Kress to react before hanging up the call, "With someone like that as the Family Head of the Brown Family, it would be weird if they don’t go bankrupt,"

Brown was left speechless for quite a while by Liu Yuxiang’s words. He really wanted to go up there and teach Liu Yuxiang a lesson. However, staring at the heavily-guarded branch of the Dragon Society and considering Liu Yuxiang’s status, he chickened out.

All he could do was curse as he sheepishly left the Dragon Society’s building.

After Brown Kress returned from the Dragon Society, he sought out their specially appointed lawyer from the Brown Group, the same one who had checked the contract for Brown Kress earlier and claimed there were no issues. He wanted to inquire about the contract.

But the lawyer’s assistant told Brown Kress that the lawyer was no longer with the company. As for the lawyer’s whereabouts, he had no idea.

Brown Kress called the lawyer, and from initial non-responses, the calls eventually led to a notification that the phone was switched off, infuriating Brown Kress so much that he smashed his cellphone violently to the ground.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on, not picking up my calls," Brown raged before his rationality finally returned.

The disappearance of this lawyer at such a critical time meant something significant to Brown Kress, and he basically figured out that there must be a connection between the contract issue and the lawyer.

However, Brown mistakenly assumed the lawyer was on Xia Yujie’s side. But this lawyer was not someone planted by Xia Yujie’s camp, he was truly loyal to the Brown Family.

Still, the sudden departure of this lawyer was indeed related to Xia Yujie’s group. Before informing Brown Kress about the issue with the contract, the assistant had spoken to the lawyer first, and after re-evaluating the contract, the lawyer indeed found a problem.

Realizing the severity of the situation, the lawyer, fearing that the Brown Group would hold him accountable, decided to pack his things and hide away.

Brown Kress knew that if the contract were followed as is, the Brown Group would suffer a colossal loss and his position as president would be up for replacement. Even worse was the fact that his position as the Family Head of the Brown Family was also coming to an end.

These were outcomes Brown Kress could not accept.

With this in mind, Brown Kress couldn’t sit still any longer. He "swooshed" to his feet from his office chair, clutching the contract with the Dragon Society, and hurried towards the door.

He refused to just sit there and do nothing, watching his CEO position and Family Head status be replaced. He had to find a solution.

He didn’t believe it; if Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang could use legal semantics to drastically alter the contract, then he could also find a tough lawyer to come up with a solution.

In Brown Kress’s eyes, lawyers were experts at nitpicking. He refused to believe he couldn’t find even the slightest aspect of the contract that was in his favor.

One could say that Brown Kress was optimistic, but reality was brutal.

Full of hope, Brown Kress went to the biggest law firm at BL and found the most famous lawyer there. He handed over the contract he brought and asked the lawyer to carefully review it and see if there was any clause that could be in his favor.

The lawyer, after studying Brown Kress’s contract for quite some time, left Brown in suspense throughout the process.

As soon as the lawyer put down the contract, Brown Kress anxiously asked, "Lawyer John, how is it? Is there a solution?"

"Mr. Brown, I am sorry, but I might not be able to help you. This contract is very well drafted, and I can’t find a single loophole, not even by nitpicking." Judging from the contract, the lawyer could almost guess who drafted it, and he knew he was no match for that person.

He wasn’t going to ruin the reputation of his law firm over the little money offered by Brown Kress.

"How is that possible? Take another look, there must be some loophole," Brown’s heart plummeted with the lawyer’s statement, but he still hoped against hope.

"I am sorry, Mr. Brown, I am powerless. Please seek out someone else," the lawyer gestured for Brown Kress to leave with an apologetic expression.

After leaving the most renowned law firm at BL, the persistent Brown Kress visited several other law firms. However, each lawyer only offered apologies, admitting they were powerless and suggesting he seek out another expert.

Brown Kress was busy all day and found no solution.

Not only did he not come up with a solution, but he also exposed the issue with the contract.
