He was covered with chill, spreading in all directions. His lip curled sardonically.<\/p>\n<p>Not hearing Audrey&#8217;s answer for a while, Simon subconsciously called out, &#8220;Audrey, what happened to you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Did you hear what I just said?&#8221; Simon asked.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was afraid that Simon would say something, so she quickly said, &#8220;Well, I have an important phone call. I will hang up!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey hung up.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey had just hung up when she saw Bryson get up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you leaving?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson smiled meaningfully. &#8220;I could stay, but I need a decent reason!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey, &#8220;&#8230; I&#8217;ll send you downstairs!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Did anyone ask him to stay for the night? He thought too much!<\/p>\n<p>Audrey sent Bryson to the elevator in the underground parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about what Simon had said in front of Bryson, Audrey could not help but say, &#8220;Bryson, as elders, don&#8217;t embarrass the younger!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The anger on Bryson&#8217;s face faded after hearing Audrey&#8217;s words.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, they were elders. Audrey would be Simon&#8217;s aunt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can go up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Alright.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey heaved a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n<p>Judged by Bryson&#8217;s expression, he should not be too ruthless with Simon.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>As Audrey expected, the gossip about Julian was almost suppressed the next day.<\/p>\n<p>The William&#8217;s case opened a court session two days later.<\/p>\n<p>Harold happened to have a test this morning. Before Audrey went to the law office, she sent Harold to school first before entering the law office.<\/p>\n<p>When Audrey arrived at the office, Deegan was reviewing the court documents.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Audrey walking towards him, Deegan called out warmly, &#8220;Audrey, good morning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Good morning, Deegan!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Deegan deliberately waved the documents in front of Audrey. &#8220;Mr. William&#8217;s case opened today. I have to go to court. I have no time for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey glanced at the documents in Deegan&#8217;s hand, and a light flashed in her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>She smiled, &#8220;I hope that Deegan will win the second trial.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you for your auspicious words, Audrey. However, I would have won this case without your kindness.&#8221; Deegan raised his chin confidently.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey sneered in her heart.<\/p>\n<p>Whether he could win or not was still unknown. People always stood higher and fell worse.<\/p>\n<p>Deegan packed up the documents and left with an intern and his assistant.<\/p>\n<p>Brenda, who sat in the back of Audrey, said angrily, &#8220;What kind of person is he? He stole your case and is still so arrogant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey only smiled but said nothing.<\/p>\n<p>About twenty minutes later, Audrey received a call from Carley.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Audrey is the best lawyer in my heart. I forbid you from insulting her!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Did a third-rate lawyer deserve your protection?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh? In your heart, I&#8217;m just a third-rate lawyer?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lucy saw Audrey behind Ashly and called out in surprise, &#8220;Audrey!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ashly&#8217;s expression changed slightly. She turned around and saw Audrey standing behind her. A gust of cold air rushed from the body.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Audrey, you &#8230; Why are you here?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why can&#8217;t I be here? Or did you mean that a third-rate lawyer shouldn&#8217;t come?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ashly alternated her complexion dramatically. She was immediately speechless when she talked negatively about others and was caught by others on the scene.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I &#8230; I didn&#8217;t say that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey put Lucy&#8217;s cup under the water dispenser. After filling it up, she handed it to Lucy.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy was flattered, &#8220;Thank you, Audrey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re welcome!&#8221; Audrey placed her cup under the water dispenser, then looked at Lucy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Aren&#8217;t you very protective for Deegan? How about we make a bet?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bet on what?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s bet on this case. If &#8230; Deegan loses this case!&#8221; Audrey smiled and said, &#8220;You will leave today and never appear in front of me again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ashly clenched her fists angrily. &#8220;What if Deegan wins?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey smiled and said word by word, &#8220;Simple. If Deegan wins, I will leave Square Law Firm from tomorrow onwards!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ashly looked at Audrey in surprise. &#8220;Alright, I agree!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3567","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
