CHAPTER 24

WILLIAMS

I still can't believe that she let the Smiths slip through our fingers just like that. I begged her; I asked her to make sure she did her job well. I trusted her, and look what she repaid me with?

Betrayal? I shook my head, averting my gaze outside. I had been calling the Smiths' PA for the last few hours, and she hasn't been picking up her phone. I guess she knows why I was calling her. The idea that the Smiths just cut short our contract without any prior issues is infuriating. They didn't even wait for me; they just cut it off. Well, not that I didn't know that family was filled with a bunch of unhinged individuals, but I was still trying to get them back. The case is a class action. The Smiths are well-known in this part of the world. Any lawyer who wins it is like winning a gold medal in the Olympics. That attorney would be the hottest in the game for the next season, and the firm would be the right place for any intern or any new cases. This was going to

    CHAPTER 42 WILLIAMS.The quirky smile on her face slowly vanished once she heard that we would be staying in the same room."That's a breach right there. There’s no way they’re about to do that,” she snapped, striding forward. She headed back to the receptionist's desk while I trailed right behind her.“Hello, ma’am?” she called to the lady in a firm tone. Once the lady turned, she continued, “Hello, my name is Olivia, and we booked two rooms yesterday, but right now one of them has been canceled without prior notice. Can we be offered another one?”The lady dropped her pen and turned to her, her tone low. “I know how annoying this can be, miss, but this is beyond our reach. We're only trying to make sure you guys are safe and have your best interests at heart, and nothing more. So please, I’m very sorry for any inconvenience caused. The other room can’t be opened up for anyone until we are sure that it is safe for humans to stay.”“And w

    CHAPTER 41OLIVIA “Less questions, Livie. We are about to get on a private jet. You can ask me questions when we get there,” he replied, patting my back.He walked in front of me, making his way to the jet that was already waiting. I trailed right behind him, and we both settled into the jet. Once I stepped inside, I couldn't help but sense the luxury and exclusivity. The sleek silver body, the curves and lines, exuded a deep sense of power and sophistication. Minutes later, the jet's engine hummed softly as it flew through the air.I leaned back on the plush cream-colored leather seats. The carpet was also very soft and thick underneath my feet—a deep, rich brown that gave off comfort. It wasn't a rented one; it was a private jet for the Jerkins family. It seemed quite luxurious and had expensive taste. I wasn't entirely surprised; the Jerkins family was rich— not just any kind of rich, but old money type of rich.My eyes narrowed at Williams, wh

    CHAPTER 40OLIVIA.Some minutes later, I had finished packing my bags for the trip. I didn’t pack too much; I picked out some professional wear and just a pair of at-home slippers to help my feet after wearing heels. Since it was an important trip, I figured I needed to bring some clothes that I could wear out if needed. I knew we might be attending some important events or gatherings, so I prepared for that.I frantically stuffed my bag, and finally, I was done. I sat back on the couch, heaving a deep sigh of relief that I was finished. But then my eyes caught a familiar figure watching me closely from the door.I turned my gaze, and my eyes met Jaden's. I almost froze. How was he awake at this time?“Honey, what is the matter?” I stood up and started to approach him, cradling his head. “What is it, sweetheart? What happened?”“You're packing up. Where are you going?” he asked, his voice fairly above a whisper, and my face fell. My smile

    CHAPTER 38OLIVIA After waiting for Gab for a few minutes, I slipped out my phone and texted her that I was on my way home. I couldn’t wait any longer; I needed to go back home to meet my son and also to rest from the hectic day I’d had moving from place to place since I won the case. Yes, I was very excited but also exhausted. After I was announced the winner, I had to go outside for a series of interviews that I couldn’t miss. There were a lot of questions, and I had to stand outside for some time to finish with the reporters. After that, I had some talks with the other attorneys and judges of the jury who were present. Most of them couldn’t remember me, which was even better; I had no intention of explaining why I was with the Jerkins Law Firm and not that of the Brown family.Well, after that, Mr. Smith proposed that I leave with them in their entourage to his office, where I also had to answer some questions the reporters were asking before I joined them for a

    CHAPTER 37WILLIAMS.My lips curved into a deep, proud smile as I settled into my chair. I just knew she was going to smash the case—and she did. She showed the world how much talent she has, and right now we’re the talk of the town. It’s only been forty minutes since she won the case, and since then, my phone has been buzzing nonstop. Everyone wants my law firm to take care of their cases. I knew this was going to happen, and this is only the beginning. By tomorrow, when the news covers it and shows footage of the court scenes, Olivia will become a celebrity attorney. I’m just happy to see her win and achieve her dreams. This is a full-circle moment for her, and I’m proud of her.The next minute, the door slowly slid open, and Olivia walked in, her eyes on me. She looked tired, but I wouldn’t waste any time; I would let her go home and enjoy her day immediately.“Congratulations again, dear,” I said, sitting up in my chair. “Olivia, we have somewhere we ne

    CHAPTER 36OLIVIA By the time I was done enjoying my slice of cake, everyone had gone back to work. I walked out and saw Gab packing up some glasses, so I quickly joined her.“Oh,” she chuckled. “Thank you, dear. You didn't need to; it's your day, and you're supposed to enjoy it.”Urgh. The birthday drama again? I can't even catch a break at this point. I can’t tell her that it isn’t my birthday. I don’t think Williams did the same thing; I think he just told them to go back to work since we were done with the celebrations. So I’d just keep quiet and act like it is actually my birthday.I helped her carry the glasses to the other side of the firm before the cleaning ladies came to collect them from us. We both proceeded to wash our hands in the bathroom. I glanced at her from time to time as we washed our hands. I couldn’t help but admire her—her fashion sense, her style, and what she has achieved in the judicial world. She is such a stunning woma
