“I appreciate what you’re doing for me, Mr. Newman. I will complete this to the best of my abilities and
not disappoint you.”
It was an industry practice within the legal fraternity that anyone new would not have the opportunity to
meet with clients. Even Eugene of Tinsel Group only allowed Zander and me to accompany him to court.
But now, Brooklyn was directly giving me his cases. By doing so, he was doing me a huge favor for
which I was naturally grateful for.
“Don’t rush. Just take your time. As someone new, it will be a while before you settle down. Also, there’s
something else I want to talk to you about.” Brooklyn was someone easy to talk to. Furthermore, his
gentle expression gave off a warm and friendly vibe.
John was right to say that pleasant sights do improve one’s mood.
“Go ahead,” I replied with a smile.
“Since Mr. Stovall trusts me enough to put me under you, there are certain things which I want to be
upfront with you.” With a serious expression, Brooklyn clasped his fingers in front of himself. “Although it
is just the law firm’s first day of operations, we are burning money every second. Therefore, I was

out a legal partnership with Fuller Corporation? So that we can prevent any potential trouble.”
As I had just thrown my weight around in front of Stella, it would be a bad idea for me to visit Fuller
Corporation so quickly. Therefore, my only choice was to meet with Cameron and Zachary.
It wasn’t a difficult endeavor. In fact, I could even get the Harrisons and Tinsel Group to let us manage
their legal affairs. However, Brooklyn’s candidness caused me to feel concerned.
After the many painful lessons that I had been taught, I realized time couldn’t show one’s true character.
After all, compared to the eternal nature of time, the duration we could spend with anyone was simply too
short.
“I understand. I will work on that. But, for these few days, let’s just focus on stabilizing the firm’s
operations.”
“Sure. In that case, I’ll stop bothering you then. I’ll be outside if you need me.”
Just as he spoke, Brooklyn stood up and left.
His actions are all very decisive. John really knew my taste well.
When Emery called and invited me for afternoon tea, I agreed as I was coincidentally working on a case
with a company in the vicinity.
The person who received me at the company likely had been in contact with Brooklyn. Everything went
smoothly, and I was done in less than half an hour.
When I arrived at the café, Emery was still driving her way there. Hence, I chose a seat by the window
and ordered a glass of warm milk while waiting for her.
Before long, the waiter served me my milk. The moment I took a sip and looked out the window, I saw
Emery swaggering glamorously toward the café in her sunglasses and fashionable outfit.
Just when she was on her way here, a figure suddenly stood in front of her, blocking her way. The man’s
body was so massive that he blocked off my view of her. What worried me was that he didn’t look friendly
at all.
The next moment, the man said something, causing Emery to take off her sunglasses and stagger a few
steps back. Realizing something was very wrong, I quickly paid the bill and rushed out.
“Emery!” Yelling from the entrance, I hoped to scare the man away. After which, I continued running
toward her.

Having heard my voice, both the man and Emery looked in my direction. As they weren’t far from me, I
managed to reach her side within a few seconds.
“Who are you? Are you trying to commit a crime in broad daylight?” Gritting my teeth, I calmly waved my
phone in the air and threatened, “I have already called the police. If you don’t want to go to jail, I advise
you to leave now.”
“Damn you b*tches for daring to call the cops!”
The man had a deep scar that stretched across his nose and extended toward the corner of his mouth.
Given how agitated he was, his expression was filled with ferocity. When he heard what I said, he raised
his fist in rage and threw it in my direction.
I instinctively tried to block his attack. Before his fist could reach my face, however, Emery stepped
forward and launched a surprise attack by kicking the man in between his legs.
“Argh! F*ck!” Grimacing in pain, the man covered his groin and dropped to his knees.
“How dare you try and hit my friend! You are certainly asking for it!” Emery looked down at the man with
a fearless expression.
Just as she spoke, she pushed me behind her to protect me. Not far away, the Moore family bodyguards
came rushing over. The group of young men in sunglasses and black suits caused quite a commotion
with their appearance.
