CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1678

“Got it!” Jamie nodded subtly, a flicker of excitement coursing through her.

As more attendees filled the room, a prominent attorney, Ken Freeman, walked by, glancing at the name placard in front of her. His lips curled into a cold smirk. “The Lucas firm must be scraping the bottom of the barrel, bringing in just anyone to represent them.”

Jamie frowned slightly but refused to show any sign of insecurity. She understood that her background and status made her an easy target for skepticism in this elite circle. However, she had no intention of letting such dismissive remarks define her.

Looking him squarely in the eye, she responded with a calm, unwavering smile. “Everyone has to start somewhere. What matters is how far we go, isn’t it?”

Attorney Freeman hesitated for a moment, caught off guard by her composure and steady gaze. Then he let out a derisive laugh, as if her confidence was amusing.

“Well, it looks like this year’s grand prize is heading elsewhere,” Attorney Freeman remarked with a smirk.

“Don’t be so sure about that,” a group of lawyers interjected as they approached.

Attorney Freeman turned, narrowing his eyes at the newcomers. “You all…”

“It’s been a while, Attorney Freeman,” said Keith Spencer, the lead lawyer, as he extended his hand for a firm handshake.

Attorney Freeman’s gaze flicked between Jamie and the new arrivals before realization dawned. He chuckled dryly, masking his discomfort. “Ah, so that’s how it is. Mr. Lucas has invested heavily this year as the main sponsor, hasn’t he? Fielding two teams to boost the odds of winning. A smart strategy, I suppose. But handing such a high-profile opportunity to an unknown like this? Turning such a prestigious event into a training ground? I must say, Mr. Lucas has quite the flair for bold moves.”

“Thank you for the compliment,” Attorney Spencer replied with a polite smile. “Mr. Lucas has his reasons.”

Attorney Freeman’s smirk deepened. “Oh, I’m sure he does. But I’d think you, Attorney Spencer, would be less than thrilled about this. Seeing as a prime chance like this went to someone else.”
