Chapter 236
Audrey could not use any words to describe her feelings at this moment.
She looked at Bryson. He was covered with chill, spreading in all directions. His lip curled sardonically.
Not hearing Audrey's answer for a while, Simon subconsciously called out, "Audrey, what happened to you?"
"What?"
"Did you hear what I just said?" Simon asked.
Audrey was afraid that Simon would say something, so she quickly said, "Well, I have an important phone call. I will hang up!"
Audrey hung up.
Audrey had just hung up when she saw Bryson get up.
"Are you leaving?"
Bryson smiled meaningfully. "I could stay, but I need a decent reason!"
Audrey, "... I'll send you downstairs!"
Did anyone ask him to stay for the night? He thought too much!
Audrey sent Bryson to the elevator in the underground parking lot.
Thinking about what Simon had said in front of Bryson, Audrey could not help but say, "Bryson, as elders, don't embarrass the younger!"
The anger on Bryson's face faded after hearing Audrey's words.
Indeed, they were elders. Audrey would be Simon's aunt.
"You can go up."
"Alright."
Audrey heaved a sigh of relief.
Judged by Bryson's expression, he should not be too ruthless with Simon.
...
As Audrey expected, the gossip about Julian was almost suppressed the next day.
The William's case opened a court session two days later.
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.
When Audrey arrived at the office, Deegan was reviewing the court documents.
Seeing Audrey walking towards him, Deegan called out warmly, "Audrey, good morning."
"Good morning, Deegan!"
Deegan deliberately waved the documents in front of Audrey. "Mr. William's case opened today. I have to go to court. I have no time for you."
Audrey glanced at the documents in Deegan's hand, and a light flashed in her eyes.
She smiled, "I hope that Deegan will win the second trial."
"Thank you for your auspicious words, Audrey. However, I would have won this case without your kindness." Deegan raised his chin confidently.
Audrey sneered in her heart.
Whether he could win or not was still unknown. People always stood higher and fell worse.
Deegan packed up the documents and left with an intern and his assistant.
Brenda, who sat in the back of Audrey, said angrily, "What kind of person is he? He stole your case and is still so arrogant."
Audrey only smiled but said nothing.
About twenty minutes later, Audrey received a call from Carley.
Audrey went to the bathroom.
As soon as the call was connected, she could hear Carley's nervous voice.
"Audrey."
"What's wrong?" Audrey asked with concern.
"I ... I'm so nervous!" Carley's voice trembled slightly. "This is my first time going to court alone. I'm nervous, and..."
"And what?"
"The other lawyers in my office are not optimistic about my case."
Audrey smiled and said, "Carley, you just need to pay attention to the things I told you, you have so much evidence in your hands. You will win. Moreover, you were the champion of your school debate competition. I believe you can do it!"
"Am I able to do that?"
"It will work. I will wait for your good news."
"Alright! With your words, I will work hard."
Coming out of the bathroom, Audrey turned around and prepared to go to the cloud tea room.
There were two interns in the tea room. Lucy followed Audrey the entire time. Ashly followed Deegan. Because she could only bring one intern to the court, the one who went last time would stay at the office and let another intern follow her to the court.
Ashly saw that Lucy was about to pour some water. She suddenly went forward and pushed Lucy away. Then, she placed her cup under the water tap.
"You are way out of line. I came here first. How can you do this?" Lucy looked at Ashly angrily.
The water dispenser had been in a state of filling water. She waited for the water to boil, but Ashly stepped forward and deliberately pushed her aside to take the water.
After Ashly filled up the water, she looked at Lucy with a face full of arrogance, "What if you came here first? Following a third-rate lawyer who has been stepped on by Deegan deserves to take the remained."
"Don't go too far. Audrey is a great lawyer in our office!"Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"A great lawyer? If she was a great lawyer, how could the client abandon her and choose Deegan? She wasn't good enough!" Ashly mocked, "What future can you have if you follow such a lawyer? Why don't I tell Deegan that you can also follow him as an intern?"
"Audrey is the best lawyer in my heart. I forbid you from insulting her!"
"Did a third-rate lawyer deserve your protection?"
"Oh? In your heart, I'm just a third-rate lawyer?"
Lucy saw Audrey behind Ashly and called out in surprise, "Audrey!"
Ashly's expression changed slightly. She turned around and saw Audrey standing behind her. A gust of cold air rushed from the body.
"Audrey, you ... Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here? Or did you mean that a third-rate lawyer shouldn't come?"
Ashly alternated her complexion dramatically. She was immediately speechless when she talked negatively about others and was caught by others on the scene.
"I ... I didn't say that."
Audrey put Lucy's cup under the water dispenser. After filling it up, she handed it to Lucy.
Lucy was flattered, "Thank you, Audrey."
"You're welcome!" Audrey placed her cup under the water dispenser, then looked at Lucy.
"Aren't you very protective for Deegan? How about we make a bet?"
"Bet on what?"
"Let's bet on this case. If ... Deegan loses this case!" Audrey smiled and said, "You will leave today and never appear in front of me again."
Ashly clenched her fists angrily. "What if Deegan wins?"
Audrey smiled and said word by word, "Simple. If Deegan wins, I will leave Square Law Firm from tomorrow onwards!"
Ashly looked at Audrey in surprise. "Alright, I agree!"
