The Amazing son in law Chapter 860

Jacob stared at Matilda, feeling a mix of confusion and curiosity. “Matilda, are you well-versed in law and the firm?”

Paul laughed lightly and replied, “Uncle, don’t underestimate my mother. She holds a Ph.D. from Yale, you know. She and my father met while attending the Master’s School at Yale and eventually got married. After that, my father established the law firm, and my mother was always by his side, supporting him. Without her assistance, my father’s career wouldn’t have flourished as it did.”

He sighed before continuing, “Unfortunately, I’m not yet capable of managing the firm on my own, so I still rely on my mother’s help.”

Matilda smiled and said, “Son, you’ve done an impressive job. I truly hope you mature quickly enough to take over the company entirely, so I can finally enjoy my retirement.”

She sighed again, revealing her thoughts, “Now that I’m back in China, specifically Aurous Hill, my greatest aspiration isn’t to start our family business here, but rather to experience the peaceful retirement of an old Chinese lady.”

As she reflected, she secretly glanced at Jacob, thinking, ‘I’ve worked so hard during my time in the States, and honestly, I feel quite worn out. More sadly, I haven’t truly experienced love in the last two decades. Now that I’m back in China, I want to release all my past burdens and embrace the life of a retired lady. How wonderful it would be to reconnect with you, my old love, and mend the regrets I’ve held for so long.’

Jacob understood that being a lawyer is a highly sought-after profession in the United States, mainly due to the attractive salaries and lifestyles it affords. Many lawsuits there involve enormous compensation amounts, sometimes reaching tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

A few years back, an individual sued Marlboro, a well-known American tobacco company, claiming it induced smoking and led to death. The court awarded the man a staggering sum in compensation—hundreds of millions of dollars.

Recently, an Asian man was assaulted by security personnel working for a major American airline. This incident severely damaged the airline’s reputation, ultimately leading the legal team to secure tens of millions in compensation for the victim.

For lawyers, winning a case typically meant they could take home 30% to 50% of the compensation as a bonus, or even more in some instances.

This financial motivation is why lawyers in the U.S. are so driven. The lucrative nature of their cases compels them to pursue victory by any means necessary. Winning a major lawsuit can net them millions, offering them a stark contrast to the earnings of ordinary individuals.

As a result, lawyers in the United States enjoy a prestigious social status, often regarded as part of the upper class. The most esteemed lawyers can amass vast wealth, becoming billionaires and mingling with celebrities, affluent, and influential figures.

Jacob couldn’t shake the feeling of inferiority. He believed that Matilda and her family were exceptionally wealthy, easily blending into Aurous Hill’s upper-class society.

In contrast, he felt he had little to offer… Thɪs chapter is updated by fіndnovel.net
