Meanwhile… 

“In the case of…” 

Silence filled the courtroom as they listened to the judge’s stern voice delivering his verdict. 

Those involved in the case on both sides waited with bated breath, hoping they would hear what they wanted to hear. 

“… You have been found not guilty” 

Cheers erupted from one side as the accused and her family cried in joy, rushing to embrace each other. Those on the other side, however, frowned deeply and watched as the accused celebrated with her family. 

As the judge continued his closing remarks, very few people listened mostly the lawyers, who were paying attention to the important details. The only thing that mattered to the accused and her family was whether or not she was found guilty. 

Penny, who was seated in the back, shook her foot and watched the scene unfold before her eyes. The corner of her mouth curled up as she nodded in satisfaction. Her eyes veered to the accused and her family, who were now thanking their lawyer for helping them. 

“Another win,” she thought, her eyes on the beautiful and smart woman who dominated the court today without breaking a sweat. 

After a few minutes, Penny stood up as everyone began leaving the courtroom. As she did, she caught sight of the opposing prosecutor speaking glaringly to the defense lawyer. The latter simply replied with a smirk. 

“Well.” Penny shrugged and headed straight out of the courthouse, knowing there were more things that Grace would do with the family. Therefore, she waited patiently outside the portico of the court. 

“I knew it!” After a few minutes of brief silence, Penny heard that familiar voice. “I thought I was seeing things. 

Slowly, Penny turned her head back, only to see the same lawyer from the courtroom today speaking briefly to the family. They thanked Grace again before she quickly made her way to Penny. 

“Did I make you wait too long?” Grace asked meaningfully, smiling. 

Penny shook her head. “It’s not making me wait if I just dropped by to say hello without giving you a heads up, right?” 

“Yes, it’s not, Grace chuckled. “Let’s go. I know a place where we can eat and talk. I’m starving.” 

The two women drove to a nearby restaurant and briefly discussed Grace’s case, which she won today, on their way there and while waiting for their food.

“Oh… so it’s a pro bono case, huh?” Penny nodded as she reached for the glass of water. “Well, that’s nice of you.” 

Grace chuckled. “It’s not nice of me 

I simply got her justice. I couldn’t let her go to prison when she’s already been abused throughout her two decades of marriage.” 

“I know: Penny smiled proudly, looking at Grace with appreciation. 

At this point, Penny shouldn’t be surprised by how Grace turned out in this lifetime. After all, Charles supported Grace’s education, and Penny was kept updated on how Grace and her mother were doing. Not only that, but she also stayed in touch with Grace even when she was abroad. 

Even so, Penny still fel 

proud of Grace. Despite being a young lawyer, Grace was rising through the ranks very quickly, with a one hundred percent winning rate. Currently, Grace is the youngest junior partner in one of the biggest firms in the country, which is a great achievement for her. 

“Anyway, enough about my case. Grace waved dismissively, signaling that they were about to change the subject. “Which one are we going to talk about? The company? Or your marriage?” 

“The company.” 

Grace narrowed her eyes suspiciously. “Are you sure?” 

“Yes.” Penny nodded. “My marriage can be dealt with later, but I need to finish the preparations for Prime Group. Some oddballs are giving me a hard time because they’re connected with some of the men in power.” 

“Mhm. I heard from Yugi. Isn’t that why you came here? They were giving Yugi a hard time, and so, you had to come here even before your office was done.” 

“I came home early because I miss my family.” 

Grace chuckled. “I already sent them a memo.” She winked. “The documents will be finished in a few days, and you’ll be ready to operate. That is if nothing comes up.” 

“You think something will come up?” 

“Nope” Grace shook her head. “Your brother, Atlas, reached out as well. With his help, there won’t be any problems. 

“Grace” 

“Penny, I know you want to prove that you can do things on your own. However, if your brothers. want to help – or if any of those who care for you are willing to help don’t refuse it.” Grace sighed faintly. “It’s not something you’ll have to return. 

Penny remained quiet for a second and didn’t argue. If any 

her eyes sharpened a little. 

“Speaking of my brother Atlas, have you checked the documents I sent you about Global Prime Group?” 

“Yes. Grace nodded. “The merger isn’t a bad idea, and your brother is willing. 

“I want those documents protected, Penny said. “With Prime Group and Global Prime Logistics.

any shakedowns can happen. I don’t want to end up in prison – or any of my family ending in prison.” 

Grace laughed, thinking Penny was joking. But when she noticed Penny’s expression, the creases on Grace’s face faded. 

“Don’t worry about it,” Grace reassured. “I’ll stop any shakedowns your company faces, even if I have to lay my life on the line.”
