Chapter 191

Whitney didn’t find out about Oliver’s car accident until she got home.

“What, is he okay?” Whitney asked, her voice full of concern.

Klein hung up his coat and rolled up his sleeves. “He broke his leg and he’s in a cast. Looks like he’ll be laid up for a couple of months.”

“That’s pretty serious.” Whitney said, unable to hide her worry.

Klein didn’t seem bothered at all. “It’s fine. You can’t win your wife over without a little hardship

Whitney looked at him, amused. “Klein, you never even had to chase me. I married you right away. So does that mean you never had to suffer at all?”

A hint of something deeper flickered in Klein’s eyes as he smirked. “Who says I didn’t?”

With that, he headed straight upstairs to the bathroom.

Did Klein ever really have to go through any hardship?’ Whitney wondered.

Whitney cocked her head, thinking.

Suddenly, she got curious about what Klein was like when he was younger.

He must’ve still been living abroad back then,’ she thought.

Whitney had picked up a client at a university today. As she got to the campus gate, she noticed what looked like Riley scar parked nearby.

Is Riley handling something around here too?’ Whitney wondered.

Just as she was about to head over, she saw Riley grab a girl by the arm, talking to her about something tension obvious between them.

The girl suddenly jerked her arm free, and Riley lost her balance, falling hard to the ground.

After a brief moment of hesitation, the girl walked away.

She jumped on a man’s motorcycle and roared away

Whitney rushed over. “Riley, are you okay?”

She immediately started checking Riley to see if she was hurt

Riley managed a bitter smile and shook her head. It’s fine, just a litle scrape

Whitney had some alcohol wipes with her, so she cleaned up the scrape and stuck a band and on it

“Try not to get it wet today, or it might get infected. And remember to change the band ad when you get home Whitney said, her tone gentle and caring

MMM

Wistful look crossed Riley’s face. If only my daughter were as smart and reliable as you she sighed

Whitney was taken aback, and then asked softly, “Was that gir! just now your daughter?”

Riley nodded and said, “Yeah. When I divorced my ex, he got custody of her After she turneeighteen my ex reached ou and said she’s seeing some guy who seems like trouble, and asked me to talk some serve into her

“Lately, she’s been skipping class and fooling around with that brat. But we’ve never really been close Honestly. I have no idea how to reach her anymore.”

Whitney fell silent. This was definitely a tough situation.

“You saw him yourself. That boyfriend of hers, tattoos, smokes, fights, street races, he’s got his hands in all kinds of troubli Drugs are perhaps the only thing he hasn’t tried yet. Honestly, I’m at my wit’s end,” Riley said, her voce full of anxiety

Whitney had dealt with plenty of juvenile crime cases before, and she’d seen parents just as worried and helpless as Miles

She just hadn’t expected that Riley, who looked barely in her forties, already had a daughter in college.

But it was an average private university, not exactly top-tier.

“Riley, have you ever talked to Boss about this?” Whitney asked.

Riley shook her head and said, “I just told him I have a daughter.”

“Alright,” Whitney nodded lightly. “Don’t worry, I won’t mention it to Boss.”

“Honestly, it’s not a big deal if he knows. I just don’t want him stressing out over my problems too.” Riley said.

Whitney figured it was just a little hiccup, but that afternoon, a friend hit her up asking if she knew any good criminal defense lawyers.

Whitney immediately thought of Riley and gave her name.

But it turned out the person the client wanted to sue was Riley’s daughter’s boyfriend.

Riley’s hands trembled with anger as she went through the evidence.

Whitney glanced at the files too, and she felt a chill run down her spine That punk even went after a sixteen-yearold on

‘What about Riley’s daughter?’ Whitney thought, feeling uneasy.

“Riley, you really shouldn’t take this case. Let someone else handle it,” Whitney said, her voice gentle but im T

“Yeah, I can’t take it anyway, because of the conflict of interest. I tried calling her, but she just bung up on me. Riley sand frustration clear in her voice.

“Whitney, can you take this case for me? I really don’t want anyone else to know about it, Riley pleaded

Whitney understood her concerns. “But I’ve never handled a criminal defense case before

“Don’t worry, I’ll guide you through it,” Riley said, trying to reassure her

Whitney nodded.

Later that afternoon, the client came to the law firm

Chapte

MMM.

Mr. Mount, Ms. Geller, is the evidence enough to convict him?” the chent asked, her voice full of hope

‘Ms. Brooke, we’ve reviewed whether your daughter was forced into the act against her will. Your surveillance footage is well preserved, but since the report was made a month after the incident, it may be difficult for the police to collect evidence Besides, since the defendant drugged your daughter before the assault, proving that will be challenging Whitney explained

The client looked anxious. “So my daughter can’t win this case?”
