Candice raised her eyes to look at him. After a while, she finally spoke. "I am facing difficulties in pursuing legal action against Sonia. Someone is obstructing the process."
Hanley was not surprised. "Is it Alex?"
Candice nodded.
"Aether's situation isn't looking good either now,” Hanley said. “I heard that their company has been affected quite badly and now the Board of Directors will have some strong opinions about him."

Candice let out a heavy sigh. She felt extremely frustrated. "Then what else can I do now?"
Hanley fell silent for a moment. "I have a senior who is quite a good lawyer. Let me contact him for you."

Hanley worked fast and the same night he had already set up an appointment to meet his senior.

Willard Bowman swept a glance at Candice, his gaze lingering meaningfully between the two of them for a moment before he spoke. "Actually, as long as the evidence is sufficiently solid, there shouldn't be any problem submitting it. But you also know some things, and I can’t say much about them.
"I think there are currently two options. We can try and push for a review to open the case and hope it will be enough, but I can already tell the chances of succeeding is low. Or, you can use public opinion. Nowadays, society is easily swayed by it."
"Public opinion isn't suitable,” Hanley said. “The online environment is chaotic."
