Since Vincent had said such a thing, Sheena was conscientious. "Rach, if you're busy, I'll leave."
"But I…"
Rachel wanted to pull Sheena, but Sheena turned quickly.
Only Vincent was left standing before her now.
Rachel folded her arms. "Why do you think I'll withdraw with you? Also, what relationship do we have? Why must I go on a trip with you?"
Vincent asked her, baffled. "Aren't we friends? Moreover, why can't we travel together if we're no longer responsible for the case?"
The case they were both taking part in was a divorce case. Although the man wasn't as wealthy as Gareth, he had some assets. His wife was a full-time housewife, and he had cheated on her.
Now, the man was requesting custody and for the woman to have nothing. The woman had been a professional secretary before getting married.
The woman was Rachel's client, while the man was Vincent's.
The woman had a lot of evidence. Also, as a woman, Rachel could understand the helplessness of being betrayed and having everything taken away.
Therefore, Rachel chose to help the woman. As for Vincent… It was because the man paid Vincent well.
Rachel thought of the main points of the case and sneered at Vincent tauntingly. "I'm not like you. I don't go against my conscience and help the wicked do immoral acts."
Vincent disagreed. "How is this immoral? One party asked me for help as a lawyer. Shouldn't we help everyone as lawyers?"
Defense lawyers were needed to uphold human rights, whether right or wrong.
Besides, such divorce cases were prevalent. Moreover, the man was rich. He could provide his child with the best conditions. It was very likely that the woman would lose.
