Chapter 228 Change of Attitude
“Ah!”
Mr. Lwain let out a pained cry, his face contorting all at once as if he couldn’t bear the pain.
Jolene smiled faintly–then drove another hard kick into his leg!

This time, Mr. Lwain finally lost his balance. He collapsed to the ground with a howl, his knees hitting the pavement hard.
He had been dressed in a suit, looking polished and professional–now, he was the picture of disgrace.
Sofia and Mindy had never seen anything like it. Both of them stood frozen, eyes wide with shock, unable to form words.
By contrast, Jean looked unusually calm, though she too was a little stunned on the inside.
This Jolene… she was even more violent than she’d imagined.
In broad daylight, in such a busy part of the city, she had just gone ahead and kicked a lawyer to the ground -without blinking.
Savage.
Then again, it made sense.
After all, Jolene wasn’t just Jolene–she was Moon, one of the top–ranking figures in the Abyssal Choir.
This woman was never going to be ordinary.
But Jean didn’t understand-
Was Moon… standing up for her?
Thinking back to how she’d just said she was coming out of retirement to represent Asher…
What kind of insane about–face was this?
Jean’s brows furrowed on instinct.
Why had Jolene suddenly changed her mind–and changed her entire attitude toward her?
That… Jean cared about. A lot. And it confused her.
Meanwhile-
Mr. Lwain had already dropped to his knees, palms braced against the pavement. His face twisted in agony as he squinted through the pain.
Some passersby glanced over curiously, others slowed to a stop and started watching outright…
The female assistant beside him was utterly terrified. Seeing her boss in such a state, she was

If she bailed now and left Mr. Lwain behind, he’d never forgive her.
So she could only shrink back and tremble in place, dazed and at a loss.

“Hurry up and get to it,” Jolene said, stepping forward again. She stood straight and tall in front of Mr. Lawain, staring down at him with a cold, careless gaze. Her tone was sharp and commanding.
“Don’t waste everyone’s time.”
She let out a small chuckle.
“Everyone’s watching. You wouldn’t want to keep your audience waiting too long, would you?”
“Start barking,” she said, lowering her voice with a faint hint of annoyance. “Or do I need to help you again?”
The pressure was suffocating. Mr. Lwain’s forehead was already drenched in cold sweat.
He finally realized there was no getting out of this.
He had no choice.
Resigned to his fate, Mr. Lwain shut his eyes and opened his mouth with immense reluctance.
“Woof! Woof woof woof!”
“There. Happy now?!”
His voice cracked with humiliation. His head hung lower and lower, desperate to hide his face from the growing crowd.
Sofia nearly lost it. She had to bite down on her lower lip to keep from laughing out loud. Even so, her lips quirked uncontrollably, and her shoulders shook from the effort of holding it in.
Jolene didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she turned to Jean again.
Her expression shifted. Her brows lifted slightly, and her gaze suddenly softened.
“Well?” she asked. “Satisfied? If not, I can always…”
“That’s enough.”
Jean gave a small smile and cut her off with two crisp words.
Mr. Lwain had gotten what was coming to him. With this many people watching, it was best to leave it there -any more, and it would start to look like they were bullying him.
At this point, what she really cared about was-
Moon.
What was she really after?
The way she was treating her now… it was almost too nice. Too out of character.
