“Before anything moves forward, I need to ask you again, Professor Montclair.” Queenie looked straight at him. “Are you truly willing to take my divorce case?”

Sebastian held her gaze and answered without wavering. “Yes, Queenie. I am.”

Queenie bowed once more. “Thank you. I mean that sincerely.”

Then she lifted her head again and said, “But I can’t afford your fees right now.”

She knew exactly what a lawyer of Sebastian’s standing was worth.

The irony was almost unbearable.

She had grown up in the Yeager household. Later, she had entered a legal marriage with Rodney and Jerome.

Yet despite all that, her money had never really belonged to her. Her accounts had long since been seized, and the only thing left in her hands was a secondary card with a fixed monthly limit.

That was how low her life had sunk. She did not even control her own finances.

Sebastian frowned slightly. “I already told you, I’m not charging you.”

“You may say that, Professor Montclair, but I can’t pretend that makes the cost disappear.” Queenie’s voice remained calm. “If you stand on my side, no one can predict how much trouble it may bring you. Compared with me, you may even become the one facing real danger.”

She turned, walked into the specimen room nearby, and stopped in front of a display case. Inside was a numbered set of reconstructed bones.

She opened the cabinet, dismantled part of the bone arrangement, and removed a hidden object from inside-a small chip no one would have noticed unless they knew exactly where to look.

When she returned, she held it out carefully in both hands.

“I collected this over many years,” she said. “There’s evidence in here. Dirt tied to the Yeager family. Information on some of their gray-market business. Names of political figures they’ve dealt with.”

She extended it toward him.

“This is what I can give you. Consider it my payment.”

Sebastian looked down at the chip, then back at her. He adjusted his glasses and asked, “And how do you know I won’t simply hand this over to the Yeager family in exchange for something better?”

Queenie’s answer came immediately. “Are you that kind of person?”

Then, after a beat, she added, “I don’t have much left that can be called valuable. Even if you say you’re helping me without charge, I can’t just stand there and accept that as if it costs you nothing. Professor Montclair, once it’s in your hands, what you do with it is your choice. I won’t interfere.”

accepted the chip and slipped it into the inner pocket over his chest. “Queenie,” he ‘ll get your freedom. I give you my word.”

Now, seated inside the shuttlecraft and looking out through the glass, she found that everything beyond the window looked strangely bright. Beautiful, even.

So this was what freedom felt like.

one was obviously pushing it from behind the scenes, because public fury spread at a fying speed. Once the floodgates opened, it became impossible to stop.

the time the news slammed back into their own circle, Rodney and Jerome finally nderstood what had happened.

Queenie had played them.

Recently, Rodney had gone too far, even by the family’s standards, so Henry Yeager, the current head of the household, had punished him heavily.

Jerome, because he had known exactly what was going on, got dragged into the fallout as well. He had been severely reprimanded and had spent the past few days barely daring to make a sound.

Fortunately for them, the previous incident had never fully exploded at the time.
