Everyone’s attention instantly shifted toward the door.

But the person who walked in wasn’t anyone new–it was Mindy, the very woman who had just been kicked
OUL
Mindy walked straight ahead without looking at anyone, her steps unsteady. “Mr. Lwain, I really can’t just give up…”
Her lips were tightly pressed together, and the tracks of tears were clearly visible around her eyes.
She walked right up to the lawyer known as “Mr. Lwain,” and made as if to kneel-
Mr. Lwain’s eyes widened in surprise. He quickly shook his head in disgust and caught Mindy’s arm just in time to stop her from kneeling.
“What are you doing? Are you crazy?” Mr. Lwain said sharply, his brow furrowing deeply. He looked at Mindy like she was some troublesome pest. “I already made myself clear. I’m not going to help you!”
“Mr. Lwain, I really…” Mindy’s voice was broken, almost unintelligible, as if she might break down crying at any moment.
Over the past few days, Mindy had visited countless law firms and spoken to dozens of lawyers.
She wasn’t just looking for someone to defend her son in court- She was desperate to find a lawyer who could help Asher uncover the truth.
Her son was innocent. He had been framed. Of that, she was absolutely certain.
But she had no evidence to prove it.
She had heard these lawyers were supposed to be experts, so she hoped to hire someone who could investigate and find the real evidence. She was willing to pay whatever it took, even if she had to take out a loan…
But no one would agree. All she got were rejections–many of them without even meeting her. As soon as they heard her name, they slammed the door in her face.
Only Mr. Lwain had been willing to meet her-
Although, in the end, he still turned her down. Still, Mindy clung to him like a drowning person clinging to a piece of driftwood.
In truth, Mr. Lwain hadn’t intended to meet her either. It was a mistake–his secretary had brought her up without checking her name first, thinking she was some wealthy client.
The moment he realized who she was, he practically threw her out of the office.
And now, she was back, still refusing to let go.
“You really think pestering me is going to change anything?” Mr. Lwain snapped, his disgust deepening.

She instinctively moved forward to help, but she was still a step too late-
Mindy hit the ground hard.
She gritted her teeth, reaching out to help Mindy up, quickly checking her for injuries.
Thankfully, Mindy wasn’t hurt.
Still, her face twisted in pain. It was obvious she was biting down hard, refusing to cry out.
“Ma’am, are you okay?” Jean asked, trying to steady her.

Mindy instinctively turned to look at the girl helping her. There was something vaguely familiar about her face.
“You’re…” Mindy stared at her for a moment, then asked cautiously, “You’re one of Asher’s classmates?”
Jean didn’t answer. She just smiled at her quietly.
Then she helped Mindy up from the ground.
Jean’s gaze then shifted sharply, her eyes locking coldly onto Mr. Lwain.
The soft smile disappeared from her face in an instant.
“Mr. Lwain, you don’t actually think you’re some kind of big shot, do you? You don’t think you’re irreplaceable, right?” Jean tilted her head slightly, her voice sharp and cutting.
Mr. Lwain blinked in confusion.
What the hell was this brat babbling about?!
