"Fine! If you’re so sure that Dexter Johnson raped you, go ask Master Leland for help and let him shut Willis Hunter up! Otherwise, once you’re charged with defamation and infringent of reputation, it will affect your criminal case as well!"
...
"Sabrina Johnson, don’t say I didn’t warn you! Although you’re pregnant and won’t face the death penalty, if you’re convicted of murder, you’ll spend ten to twenty years in jail! By the ti you get out, you’ll be old!"
"I know," Sabrina Johnson said impatiently.
"Miss Johnson, take care of yourself!"
Lawyer Young didn’t want to say another word to her. After finishing his instructions, he left directly.
Since taking on cases, Lawyer Young had maintained an unbeaten record. Sabrina Johnson, however, was proving to be an exception. He might actually lose this one, and to Sue White, no less.
Lawyer Young’s feelings toward Sue White were complicated, and he really didn’t want to compete with her.
Sue White already had a bad impression of him, and if he won against her, it would probably be impossible to change her opinion of him.
...
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Lawyer Young had just been thinking about Sue White, and when he went out into the hall, he saw that very woman.
Saphire?
Lawyer Young’s gaze deepened, and he went over to greet Sue White warmly.
"Mrs. White, long ti no see. I heard you took on Sienna Johnson’s case. Coincidentally, I’m the defense lawyer for Sabrina Johnson’s case, so we’ll be seeing each other in the courtroom soon."
Sue White didn’t even spare him a glance and rely replied, "Hmm."
"Mrs. White, what brings you to the Police Station? If there’s anything I can help with, just say the word. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help. After all, we attended the sa school and even had the sa ntor."
Sue White had co to the police station to get Sabrina Johnson’s transcript. After photocopying it and signing her na in the recipient column, she planned to leave, showing no intention of catching up with Lawyer Young.
Seeing Sue White ignoring him, Lawyer Young brazenly stuck close. "Mrs. White, where are you going? Let give you a ride."
Sue White’s financial struggles were well known throughout the legal community. She didn’t even own a run-down car, relying on walking or public transportation, and usually couldn’t bring herself to splurge on a taxi.
Sue White saw Lawyer Young trying to get close to her and suspected he wanted to extract so useful information, so she was very wary of him.
"I won’t tell you anything, so save your breath!"
...
"Besides, Lawyer Young, your dirty tricks to win lawsuits won’t work on ! I won’t yield to any coercion or temptation!" Sue White was as proud as a princess.
Lawyer Young was taken aback for a mont. Then, he saw Sue White walking away. She opened her pink parasol and, with her back perfectly straight, departed with grace.
The fallen princess is still a princess!
Lawyer Young and Sue White had attended the sa school, been in the sa class, and even shared the sa ntor. This woman had always carried herself like an aloof princess. Even when down on her luck, she maintained her true character.
Unable to afford designer brands, she preferred to wear her own designs rather than off-season high-end items. Her clothes were neatly ironed, and Lawyer Young had just noticed a burn on her hand. She probably doesn’t even know how to iron properly, he mused.
Saphire...
Lawyer Young smiled and drove after her.
At the roadside, he rolled down his car window, a disarmingly innocent smile on his face.
"Mrs. White, the sun is so harsh, that parasol of yours won’t be much help. Let give you a ride. You take such good care of your skin; it would be a sha if you got sunspots."
"Lawyer Young, we’re opponents now. It’s best we keep our distance. I’d rather not have people see us together and accuse us of colluding."
"Mrs. White, you’re overthinking it."
Just then, Sienna Johnson’s car passed by. Spotting Sue White walking, she had her driver pull over and called out, "Princess!"
Sue White stopped and looked toward the voice, spotting Sienna Johnson across the road.
"Sienna!"
She smiled at Sienna Johnson, crossed at the crosswalk, and got into Sienna’s car.
Watching her graceful figure disappear, Lawyer Young gently tapped the steering wheel, remaining motionless for a long ti. He was still replaying the smile he’d just seen on Sue White’s face. How wonderful it would be if she could smile at him like that.
Sue White... Saphire...

Once in the car, Sue White imdiately saw Adrian Desmond and asked, "Doesn’t your husband need to work? Why is he always around whenever I see you?"
Sienna Johnson looked at Adrian Desmond and echoed Sue White, "Adrian, did you hear that? Even others are starting to find it excessive. You should go to work. I’m just pregnant, not terminally ill. What’s this about you hovering over all day?"
Adrian Desmond’s mouth twitched. "Could you please not jinx yourself?"
"I’m talking about serious matters. Go take care of your own business. Don’t always hang around . I’m not a porcelain doll, easily broken."
"Alright," Adrian Desmond replied.
"Princess, what was that about a car following you just now? Is that man pursuing you?" Sienna Johnson asked, her curiosity piqued.
Sue White replied, "Do you know who the man in the car was?"
"Who?"
"Herbert Young!" Lest Sienna Johnson not recognize the na, Sue White quickly added, "Sabrina Johnson’s defense lawyer."
"What does he want?" Sienna Johnson asked gravely.
"He was probably trying to get information about the case. But rest assured, my lips are sealed. I absolutely won’t leak a single word."
"Are you confident?"
"If everyone competes fairly, I am. But if Herbert Young plays dirty, then I’m not."
...
"Herbert Young is related to Master Leland and was raised by him. Over the years, Herbert Young has helped Master Leland with many lawsuits. As far as I know, that man has won lawsuits using very disgraceful ans."
"You an, he uses dirty tactics to win lawsuits?"
"Anyway, he’s not a good person!"
Sienna Johnson looked at Adrian Desmond and said, "Keep an eye on Willis Hunter. I’m worried they’ll use threats and bribes on him. If he turns on us at the last minute, we’ll be at a disadvantage."
"He’s already being watched," Adrian Desmond assured her. Indeed, Willis Hunter, not wanting anything to happen to his precious son, had no choice but to comply with their wishes.
Sue White looked at Adrian Desmond, intrigued. This man is clearly no ordinary person. How could soone like him marry into the Johnson family?
