Chapter 26 It’s George, not Sam
A man walked into the room, accompanied by an assistant carrying a black briefcase.
The security guard escorted them.
Clearly, this was the lawyer that Isabelle had mentioned.
“Who is this?” Timothy, who had attained his current position through his extraordinary abilities, was adept at discerning people. He instantly recognised that the individual before him was no ordinary
man.
His habitual bureaucratic demeanour immediately took over. Timothy extended both hands and briskly walked toward Jim.
“Convictus Legal, Jim Carter.” Jim shook hands with Timothy politely. “I am…” He glanced around the room. As soon as his eyes met Isabelle’s, he confirmed her identity.”… the appointed lawyer for this young woman.”
“Convictus Legal? Jim Carter?” Timothy’s eyes widened in surprise.
It was impossible for him to not know such a prominent figure.
Once, someone deliberately set Timothy up, causing him to be caught in a scandal. He tried to use his connections and money to get Jim to represent him in court.
After much effort, he finally obtained Jim’s contact information, but was rejected without even a meeting. Jim claimed that his case was too trivial.
And right now, Isabelle’s lawyer, an influential lawyer who wasn’t susceptible to financial pressure, was in front of him.
Timothy was confused. Was this a big deal?
Even if the Harris family had requested it, Jim shouldn’t have shown up in person, right?
Before he could grasp the whole situation, Jim had walked up to Isabelle. He asked, “How should I address you?”
“Isabelle Jenkins.”
Jim nodded and said, “Miss Jenkins, I hope I make it on time.”
Isabelle replied, “You’re slightly late, but it doesn’t matter.”
Seeing his familiar face, Isabelle instinctively replied, completely forgetting that she was Isabelle instead of Blood Shadow.
Fortunately, Jim didn’t say anything. He assumed it was Isabelle’s personality. He comforted, “Alright, leave the rest to me.”
Isabelle had gotten herself a lawyer with a call.

Chapter 26 it’s George, not Sam
Timothy’s presence was too much for the principal and the school leaders to handle. On top of that, a lawyer had shown up at the scene.
The math teacher was on the brink of collapse,
Out of everyone, it was Leonard who was the most panicked of them all.
The lawyer was Jim Carter from Convictus Legal
Leonard was dumbfounded.
He felt like he would be forced into early retirement, just like the math teacher.
When Jim went to court, he did more than impress the client. When he outperformed, he could send the opposing lawyer to jail.
Leonard had a bad feeling that when he woke up the next day, Norward High, which he had worked hard to run for more than 20 years, would be gone.
He was genuinely terrified.
And as if that wasn’t enough, before Leonard could catch his breath, the police had arrived.
Looking at the room filled with those with Isabelle, Leonard was sweating profusely in the chilly weather of May.
He stopped and resisted. As the principal, he began to plead on behalf of his students in a low voice, appealing to them emotionally.
Leonard was on the verge of tears, telling Isabelle and Timothy how difficult his journey had be
The other school leaders followed suit. The principal’s office was filled with pleas for mercy, a star contrast to the situation where they besieged Isabelle half an hour ago.
Though Jim had mentally prepared himself and had been through many battles, he still found the situation a bit challenging, testing his professional abilities.
He never thought that one day he would come to a school to fight a case of exam cheating
What would be the reaction of his peers if they found out?
