My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1738

Subjecting others to public scrutiny was not widely agreed on, but when used, perhaps it could be effective.

Eddison had great power and influence, but so what? He could not silence the judgement of so many people.

Charles' expression changed when he heard this. He seemed to have already formulated a plan in his heart.

Aaron looked at me, and his face was back to his mushy expression when he was in the car. "You're really different as a lawyer. It seems that you can see a trickier angle to problems."

I rolled my eyes helplessly. "Was I stupid before? You don't seem to be complimenting me."

"Oh come on, don't nitpick me." Aaron walked to the desk, leaned on it, and said frivolously, "I've always treated my dear sister sincerely."

"Arianna has become an intern at a law firm?" Charles changed the topic. "Which one?"

"It's the Dawnie Firm," I answered, and then added, "Today was my first day of work, and I don't feel very good about it. I'll consider if I should change my internship. After all, the employment procedure has not been completed yet."

"What do you need to think about? Tomorrow, I'll go buy a law firm and reinstate you as boss. It'll save you from working overtime all day long," Aaron said.

Aaron had never thought twice about spending money. His male chauvinism was particularly obvious at the moment.

"Don't make trouble. There is no way an intern lawyer can run a firm. Would you invite those big men to come back and work for their apprentices?" Although I knew that Aaron had good intentions, he still had to face reality.

However, Charles did not express any opinion after listening to this. When I looked over, I found that he was frowning and thinking about something.

Aaron followed my gaze and looked over. He also noticed Charles in thought, and immediately asked, "Uncle Charles, what are you thinking of?"

Charles suddenly came to his senses, heaved a deep sigh, and said slowly, "The Dawnie Firm has solved a lot of problems for the Forbes and Drake families over the years. Their private friendship runs very deep. If a lawsuit is brought to them, the public prosecutor assigned may not be able to beat the people from Dawnie Firm."

"I see. No wonder that firm gave me privileges again and again. They wanted to keep me under their thumb..." I suddenly understood.

I should have thought of this long ago. Dawnie Firm was the best law firm in the country. The bigshots behind Eddison must have had their dirty controversies defended by the Dawnie Firm. The reason why they had put forward so many good conditions for me, was so that I might become complicit and drag the Reid family into this.

At the thought of this, Zoel's serious look flashed in my mind. He was a good young man who looked righteous and had a bright future. Although he was a bit old-fashioned and would've become a top lawyer, unfortunately, his heart was evil, and in the end, he could only help the devil do evil.

"That's great. Arianna, you don't have to go tomorrow. Despite it looking like peace out there, there are still troubles everywhere. It's safer to stay at home," Aaron persuaded.

I argued, "Aaron, here you go again. In the last year, how many times have I stepped out of Roberts Villa and Reid Manor? And despite everything we've done, what happened? We can't avoid things that want to happen, can we? I can't hide from it forever, or I will be a burden to you forever. Moreover, after this time, they will not set their eyes on me again. I must do something that I can do, instead of staying alone and thinking blindly about the situation."
