Mindy bit her lip and shook her head hard. “No, it’s not like that…”

She twisted her fingers nervously, hesitating as she spoke. “At first, when you said you were going to find the best lawyer… I didn’t really believe you. I thought it was just something u said offhand… I didn’t expect~~
Her eyes were filled with sincere gratitude.
“I didn’t expect you would actually follow through.”
Jean couldn’t help feeling a little guilty when she heard that.
The truth was, she had originally planned to hire another well–known lawyer for Asher, but all kinds of unexpected events kept getting in the way. She hadn’t even had time to act yet…
Jolene’s sudden appearance–and the fact that she’d changed her mind after initially turning Jean down-
None of that had been part of Jean’s plan.
It was all just a twist of fate.
“Madam Lawson, now that we have a lawyer,” Jean smiled a little and shifted the topic, “you really don’t need to worry anymore. Asher’s going to be fine.”
“That’s right, Ms. Mindy.” Sofia stood up from the couch too, her eyes gleaming with excitement. Although she wasn’t completely sure if this lawyer named Jolene could really save Asher from disaster, at least someone had finally agreed to take the case after so many rejections. No matter what, that was a good sign.
“Everything’s going to be okay…”
Mindy’s emotions gradually calmed down under everyone’s comforting words.
Sofia stayed by her side and chatted with her on the couch, while Jean followed Jolene out to the balcony.
“You wanted to talk to me?”
The woman stood at the edge of the terrace. The sky overhead was a clear, brilliant blue. She turned slightly, her voice gentle and slow.
Jolene already knew Jean wanted to speak with her. That was why she’d deliberately stepped out onto the balcony;
“You probably already know what I’m going to ask,” Jean said bluntly. “Why did you suddenly change your mind and agree to defend my friend?”
Jolene was silent for a moment.
Then, she slowly turned to face her, her calm, dark gaze locking directly onto Jean’s eyes.
“No particular reason,” she said lightly.

Chapter 230 So Many Questions
That was an absolute secret.
“I just suddenly felt bored,” Jolene said with a faint smile, “So Ligured I might as well go back to practicing,
law.”
Jean’s lips twitched.
That was a pretty ridiculous excuse,
But if it were Moon… it kind of tracked.
Still-
Jean frowned slightly and raised another question.
“How did you find me? Or rather, how did you know my real identity?”
She and Moon had only met once–at an Abyssal Choir routine meeting
At that time, Jean had recognized that Moon was Jolene, but Jolene should have had no clue who she was.
She hadn’t revealed her name. She’d used her codename, “Ghost,” and she’d disguised both her appearance
and her voice…
So how had Jolene figured out that Ghost was her?
In the entire organization, aside from Ludwig–and the upper–level entity that had brought her in–no one should have known her real identity…
Even though Moon held a high rank, she definitely didn’t have the authority to access members‘ real–world information.
“Well…” Jolene said slowly, drawing the word out, then paused–as if she were deliberately teasing Jean
After a moment, she smiled and added, “Why don’t you guess?”
Jean was puzzled.
This woman was totally messing with her on purpose!
