"That's impossible," Stephanie snapped, her reaction exacerbated. "Other than you, my family doesn't have any other big shots as enemies. You're lying!"
"Stephanie!" Zachary stopped her, embarrassed and furious.
"Am I wrong? Zachary Holt, can't you even handle your own mess properly? Since you can't afford to lose your dignity as a professor, I decided to bear the burden for you. But even after seeing your ex-wife doing this to me, you still dare to get mad at me? I really doubt your sincerity towards me now," Stephanie blurted. Her choice of words had changed, looking exasperated in front of us.
It seemed that this lady was not very bright, seeing that she still couldn't figure it out. The Moore family was not a place where she and Zachary could have their love quarrels.
"I'm not interested in your feelings, Stephanie. Look, this is my lawyer," Freya introduced nonchalantly while turning towards me. "Wait for my lawyer's letter. If you dare to provoke me further, I'll play along with you as much as you want until you're satisfied," she mocked.
If Freya needed a lawyer, she could easily get the top lawyers in Jarold City with her status. If she was determined to hand it over to me, it was probably because she wanted to spare them some of their decency.
I, on the other hand, only wanted to make the pretentious, scheming b*tch pay for her deeds.
After hesitating for a second, I adjusted my expression and added with a strict smile, "That's right, Miss Stephanie Simpson. I would like to introduce myself again. I'm Arianna Reid, the legal officer of Reid Law Firm. From this moment onwards, I'll have the full authority to represent the case of the premeditated abuse caused upon Miss Freya Moore, and I'll get my office to immediately issue the letter. This is my first lawsuit after officially becoming a lawyer, so I'm going to take this as a great opportunity to make a name for myself. Don't hope for any mercy."
To weave a smile within warning was the basic courtesy of a lawyer. Obviously, I had done a good job at it.
Stephanie probably realized that she could not escape from prison for a few years. Her face turned pale and her legs became weak, losing her balance as she fell into Zachary's arms.
