In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1284

Pausing for a moment, Emery shifted her gaze toward Hunter. “It seems that I have overestimated the relationship we once shared given that you can tolerate Delilah’s violent actions. I consider myself to have been blind in the past. From now onward, there is nothing left of our so-called relationship.”

Furrowing his eyebrows, it was apparent that Hunter was shocked.

“Impossible!” Delilah reacted with greater defiance. “Other than you, our family doesn’t have any other powerful enemies. You are just making excuses!”

“Delilah!” Overwhelmed with shame, Hunter stopped her.

“Did I say anything wrong? Hunter, you couldn’t clean up your own mess because you didn’t want to stain your reputation as a professor. So, I had to do it for you. But look at you now! In the midst of me being bullied by your ex, you choose to lecture me instead? I am now beginning to doubt whether your feelings for me are true.” Outraged, Delilah switched the focus of her anger right in front of us.

It seemed that she wasn’t very smart, she was oblivious to the fact that the Moore Residence wasn’t the place for her own family squabbles.

“I don’t care whether your feelings for each other are true. Delilah, take a good look at the lawyer representing me.” Emery glance at me before adding plainly, “Be prepared to hear from my lawyer. Since you dare challenge me, I will gladly play your game to your heart’s content.”

Given Emery’s stature, she could hire any top lawyer in the city she wanted. Handing the task to me was just her way of being polite.

As for me, I just wanted to use the opportunity to scare Delilah.

After hesitating for a split second, I collected myself and smiled slightly, “That’s right, Ms. Delilah Perkins. Let me introduce myself again. I, Scarlett Stovall, am a lawyer from Stovall Law Firm. From this moment on, I will represent Ms. Emery Moore in this assault-related case. You will be hearing from my firm soon. As this will be my first case as a lawyer, it will be a wonderful opportunity for me to demonstrate my prowess. So don’t expect me to show you any mercy.”

Hiding malice behind a smile was a necessary skill every lawyer practiced. Obviously, I am now one of them.
