However, inside the courtroom, the atmosphere felt tense at the plaintiff's side.
Miles was wearing a sullen expression. Next to him, M r. Stewart, the attorney, was gulping down water while looking flustered.
On the other side, Catherine was chatting happily with Freya. The latter could not stop laughing.
The attorney beside her was even playing mobile games on his phone.
"I'll find out what’s going on." Anxiety washed through Jeffery in waves as he approached Miles. "Young Master Clark, what's the problem with Mr. Stewart? He doesn’t look alright to me."
Miles answered with a cold glare, "Your daughter is really something."
This baffled Jeffery greatly. Mr. Stewart explained with a sigh, "Catherine Jones has hired Australia's undefeated legend as her attorney. It’s a real challenge for me to win this case."
No, he did not even stand a chance to win.
"What undefended legend?!" Jeffery was astonished." That's what you promised. You told us you're certainly going to win."
The look on Mr. Stewart’s face revealed his annoyance at the man's ignorance.
"Come on, at the very least, you’re the president of a large-scale business company. Have you not heard of the country’s greatest attorney, Shaun Hill? He’s never been defeated although he's still young. He’s incredible. No one can triumph him. My mentor lost to him even with hard evidence.”
This stunned Jeffery into silence. No wonder Catherine did not seem concerned at all. When did she get to know someone like that?
"Mr. Stewart, how confident are you in winning?" he asked tentatively.
The attorney frowned as an enigmatic smile spread across his face. "President Jones, you're a strange man. Catherine is your daughter, after all. You should be delighted if she wins."
Jeffery was at a loss for words.
Could he really? If Catherine was not thrown into prison, then James would be the one receiving the blows.
