Run From the Fraud and Into True Love's Arms のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

"Don't…" With her clothes half loosened, Katherine finally grabbed the man's wandering hand.Deacon was panting, his face flushed red.When she pushed him away, hurt flickered in his eyes. "Katie, you never used to push me away. Why…"Only then did Katherine see who it was. She suppressed the urge to wipe her mouth, then hooked her arms around his neck. "Dea, you misunderstood. I wasn't trying to push you away."She said sweetly, "You startled me. I didn't see who it was and thought someone was trying to take advantage of me."Deacon was half-convinced. "Really?"Katherine's expression didn't change. "Of course. You know what happened a few days ago. Even though that man is dead, I heard Archer is incredibly powerful in Cardington. I've been on edge these past few days. I was just scared…"As expected, Deacon relaxed and lightly flicked the tip of her nose. "Don't worry. I've known Archer for many years. If he really wanted to go after you, he wouldn't have waited until now.""

Sabrina said, "All the evidence I submitted was lawful and proper. If you're dissatisfied, Mr. Lansaw, you can file another appeal."Clyde hurriedly raised his hands. "No, that's not what I meant. Ms. Kerr, don't misunderstand, I…""Mr. Lansaw, it's getting late. I still have other matters to attend to," Sabrina cut him off lightly but firmly. Clyde wasn't stupid. He could clearly hear that she was showing him the door.Knowing he wouldn't gain much more today, he stood up and took his leave politely.Juliana had been listening outside for quite a while. Only after Clyde left did she walk over to Sabrina, confusion written all over her face. "Why didn't you take this case? It's a guaranteed win."After all, both of them knew that Katherine had gathered evidence through underhanded means back then. It hadn't been serious enough for Sabrina to bother exposing it.And what Clyde said wasn't entirely without reason.What Juliana didn't understand was that Sabrina hadn't refused beca

"What?" Cameron froze. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.Sabrina wiped away his last sliver of hope, speaking deliberately. "I'm the lawyer Clyde hired. I'm the one helping him fight for Dante's custody again.""This can't be!"He couldn't believe it. He'd seen Sabrina do everything she could to help Katherine divorce Clyde. The study light had stayed on all night. The case files, stacked a dozen volumes high, had been thoroughly reviewed. She had studied every single word.How was that even possible…"Nothing's impossible."Sabrina leaned back in her chair and, for once, offered some honest advice. "If you truly want what's best for Katherine, you should go back and persuade her to voluntarily change the custody arrangement. Otherwise, she's going to lose."Cameron was still stunned that she was representing Clyde. A chill ran through him. "Rina, I know you don't like Katie, but do you really have to go this far? Don't you know what kind of man Clyde is?"Just thinking

The moment the call connected, Katherine's voice cracked, tearful and aggrieved. "Grandma…"… Sabrina was binge-watching a show when Tina's call came in.Juliana didn't know Archer had quietly suppressed the public backlash. Worried it might flare up again, she'd given Sabrina a week off.As soon as she answered, Tina's voice came through, cool and commanding as ever, ordering her back to Sterling Manor.Sabrina didn't bother pretending. "I'm not free," she said flatly.Tina relied on her seniority and was used to getting her way—especially with Sabrina. Sabrina had always dropped everything whenever Tina called, never saying no.But being refused for the first time, Tina flew into a rage. "I don't care if you're busy or not! You are not to take Clyde's case against Katie! And if you do, don't even think about staying in Lark City."The line went dead after that last threat. "...don't even think about staying in Lark City."Sabrina set her phone down, expressionless. She hadn

"Lawsuits don't get resolved overnight."Sabrina forced herself to stay calm, hardening her resolve. "If you think I'm dragging this out, feel free to consult another lawyer. This is just how the process works." Tina was momentarily speechless, but she knew she couldn't argue. She swallowed her anger. "Fine. One month. If it's still not done by then, Sabrina, don't blame me for what comes next."The call ended. Sabrina clenched her phone, her eyes rimmed red. She glanced at the seal pasted across the law firm's door, then turned and drove straight to Stellar Group.Whoever caused the problem would have to fix it. The Sterlings would have to handle their own mess.She moved through without a hitch. Everyone at the company knew Sabrina was the CEO's wife, so they directed her straight to the private elevator.When she pushed open the office door, Cameron was seated behind his desk, absorbed in his work. The moment he saw Sabrina, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes."Rina, w
