Chapter 170 Asking for a Favor
Sienna’s thoughts were pulled back to the present.
She recovered herself, pressing her lips together into a small smile.
Although she knew Jean well, she didn’t plan to tell her about any of these things.

“I’m fine,” Sienna said, reaching out to pat Jean gently on the shoulder. “Jean, now that you’re back, just relax. If you want anything to cat, just tell me…”
Jean stared into Sienna’s eyes for a long moment.
In the end, she didn’t press further. She simply smiled and nodded. “Mom, I’m not hungry right now. I’ll let you know later if I am.”
With that, Jean walked past Sienna and headed upstairs to her room.
Her mind was already spinning rapidly.
Sienna’s mood was clearly bad, and Dominic was still recovering…
It wasn’t the right time to bother them with anything.
That left only one choice-
Jean nodded to herself silently, then pulled out her phone and dialed Easton’s number.
It didn’t take long for the call to connect.
“Jean, what’s up?” Easton’s voice came through.
Jean’s mouth twitched.
“Can you not sound so cheesy?” she said righteously.
The next second, she heard the man’s low, pleasant laugh. “Go on. What do you need from me?”
“You’re not the kind of person who calls me for no reason,” he added lazily.
Busted.
Jean pouted. “Yeah, you guessed it.”
“Easton,” she called sweetly.
“Hm?” Easton’s tone lifted slightly. “So you really do have a favor to ask.”
Easton was smart–too smart. Jean felt like he had already seen right through her.
“So what if I do…” Jean said shamelessly. “You said you’d be my good big brother. Was that just talk?”
Easton chuckled again.

Chapter 170 Asking for a Favor
Jean smiled and said bluntly, “I need you to help me find a lawyer.”
Easton went quiet for a moment, then asked, “What do you need a lawyer for?”

“It’s not for me,” Jean said, her voice lowering slightly. “It’s for a friend. They’re in some trouble and need legal help.”
“So you’re not looking for just any lawyer, right?” Easton easily saw through her again. “Otherwise, you wouldn’t be asking me.”
Jean let out a small hum of agreement.
“No one else is convenient to ask,” she said softly. “You’re my only option.”
She gripped the phone a little tighter. “Hey, have you ever heard of Jolene?”
Easton’s voice was casual. “I’ve heard of her… but I don’t know much.”
“She’s a very famous lawyer,” Jean added quickly. “I want to hire her. Money’s not an issue.”
“Is she that hard to get?” Easton asked lazily.
“Yeah,” Jean nodded.
Truthfully, she had no idea how to even reach Jolene.
From what she’d heard, Jolene was mysterious and rarely took cases anymore. It would be almost impossible to track her down by normal means.
It was smarter to use the Ginger family’s connections.
Might as well take advantage.
“Alright. I’ll look into it for you. Just wait,” Easton agreed without hesitation.
Jean couldn’t help but feel a little worried. “Easton, I heard Jolene’s really hard to deal with, and no one even knows where she is. It might be troublesome.”
Easton chuckled lightly. “Jean, are you underestimating me?”
“I don’t care where she’s hiding,” he said confidently. “If you want to see her, I’ll find her.”
His firm, certain words warmed Jean’s heart unexpectedly.
She couldn’t help but smile. “Thanks, Easton.”
After hanging up, Jean pushed the matter to the back of her mind. She happily slipped into i mode, eating, lounging, and resting in her room.
The next day-
lacker
Just as Jean was sleeping in all the way to noon, she unexpectedly received a call from the principal of Stellarford Academy.
