Jean weaved through the busy crowds, surrounded by towering skyscrapers and endless streams of cars.
The massive buildings stretched along the street, their dark gray glass exteriors reflecting dazzling light, grand and imposing-
This area was home to several of Blairford’s top law firms.
To be honest, Jean hadn’t decided exactly who she was looking for.
She just wanted to find a lawyer who looked decent enough to trust.
But she hadn’t expected-
To run into Mindy here.
“I already told you clearly. Please leave!”
Through the full glass doors of a law firm’s lobby, Jean spotted Mindy being coldly dismissed by a female employee.
Mindy’s hair was messy and frizzy, her eyes hollow with exhaustion and grief.
She clenched her fingers tightly, her eyes slightly red. “Please… I’m begging you… I really have no one else to turn to… Please save my son…”
Her voice trembled, thick with tears, her entire body on the verge of collapse.
Jean instinctively stopped and watched quietly.
“Your son’s a public enemy right now. Nobody wants to touch that mess. Anyone who does will have their reputation and business dragged through the mud. Don’t you get that?” The female employee looked down at Mindy, her tone filled with disdain and impatience.
“My son’s not that kind of person…” Even now, Mindy still stubbornly clung to her faith in him. “Aren’t lawyers supposed to help if we pay you?”
The employee looked her up and down with thinly veiled contempt. “Don’t think I don’t know you’re planning to pay with a loan.”
“Now get out! Or I’m calling security!”
In the end, Mindy was kicked out.
She staggered out of the law firm, her gaze vacant, completely missing Jean standing not far away.
Jean pressed her lips together and, after a moment of thought, walked straight into the law firm Min‘ had just been thrown out of.
The lobby was nearly empty now. Just as the female employee finished kicking Mindy out, a sharply dressed lawyer came down the stairs.

So that’s how it is…
In fact, cases like Asher’s–where the odds of winning were low–could actually be golden opportunities. If a lawyer managed to secure a lighter sentence, their fame would skyrocket. It would be free advertising.
