The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 307

Chapter 307

Gabriel replied in a polite yet solemn manner, “I’m a lawyer, Mister Lucas, and my duty is to ensure the fairest result for my client in addition to clearing her name. No one should be left to bear the consequences of actions that they haven’t done.”

Lucas chuckled. “If you say so, then. I’m curious to know how you can prove her innocence, given how solid the evidence is.”
