Simon was taken aback by her words and involuntarily looked at Ivan.

He was the lawyer recently hired by Jones Group, specifically responsible for legal affairs related to Jones Group in China.

He had actually been quite busy lately, but Ivan had pulled him out to help Daniela specifically during this period.

He was paid by Jones Group and had always treated Daniela's case as work, never considering asking Daniela for attorney fees.

However, Daniela's attitude was serious, she was genuinely asking.

He was momentarily at a loss, unsure of what was going on.

Ivan smiled slightly, “Daniela, Simon is from Jones Group's legal department, he is an employee of Jones Group. You are also considered an employee of Jones Group now. This is considered legal assistance within the group, you don't need to pay attorney fees."

Daniela didn't believe a word of it.

She had never heard of a company's legal department helping employees with litigation.

Moreover, she wasn't actually an employee of Jones Group yet.

Daniela said, "Mr. Jones, since I will be an employee of Jones Group in the future, I cannot occupy the group's public resources."

"I will definitely pay Simon's attorney fees. If you don't accept it, I will have to find another lawyer."

Ivan: ...

Simon: ...

Neil: ...

Seeing their silence, Daniela added, "Based on Simon's capabilities, you should charge what you should. If I find out you deliberately undercharged me, I will change lawyers."

In short, she wouldn't take any advantage.

She wouldn't take advantage of Ivan's favor either.

Ivan understood her meaning and sensed the suspicion in her eyes. If he continued, he didn't know where Daniela would go with her thoughts. He nodded with a smile, "Of course."

"I was thinking that the company's legal department was idle anyway, I thought I'd pull him out to help you."

"Since you want to pay him attorney fees, I think Simon wouldn't mind making this extra money."

Neil: ... The company's legal department is idle?

Let alone the fact that Jones Group was going to China, there was so much work to be done. Even the many partnerships they had negotiated before required the legal department to study the contracts.

The legal department was now working overtime, and Ivan had pulled Simon, an elite member, out, putting a lot of pressure on them.

Simon: ... Unexpected wealth, he could only cry and accept it.

Simon pushed his glasses and said, "My fees are not low, Miss Flores, don't say they're too expensive."

Daniela waved her hand, "No, how much is it?"

Simon thought for a moment, "Looking at Miss Flores' case, it would be at least 500,000."

Daniela almost spat out the water she was drinking, "How much? 500,000?"

She thought about her frozen bank account.

Once she paid back Sebastian, the balance in it wouldn't even cover Simon's attorney fees.

Ivan said, "Daniela is having difficulties, otherwise..."

"No." Daniela gritted her teeth, "No difficulties, it's 500,000."

Seeing this, the group exchanged glances, didn't say much, and quickly changed the topic.

After dinner, Neil and Ivan sent Daniela back.

In the car, Ivan said, "Daniela, if you're short on cash, you can borrow the 500,000 from the company, and then deduct it from your salary when you start working."

Daniela laughed, "Mr. Jones, don't underestimate me. Since I chose to leave with nothing, I naturally have the means to survive."

"It's only 500,000, don't worry."

Ivan could only give up.

Daniela saw that Neil was driving in the direction of her and Emilia's rented house, and quickly said, "Neil, please send me to Austin Uptown."

Both of them looked at her in surprise.

Daniela said, "I'm going to get some things."

Damn Sebastian, if he hadn't suddenly asked that question, she wouldn't have left without taking anything.
