"Liora, feelings aren't that simple. I crossed a line, and I understand why you're upset. But my family shouldn't be dragged into this." Liora's voice rose. "But everything you've done has dragged Rhea's parents into it!" Kate frowned. With a loud bang, Liora slammed the car door and told the driver, "Drive!" All her friends left, leaving Kate standing alone in the snowstorm. "Ms. Pearson…" Kate closed her eyes briefly. "It's fine. When there's a will, there's a way. We'll find someone to help." Lance Waite, the Pearson family's butler, thought for a moment. "Should we reach out to someone from Eryham? I heard that the Austin family has the world's top legal team."

In fact, she felt a sense of fulfillment. She enjoyed this feeling. Plus, she needed to make more money so she could hire the best team to help Adam with his case. She'd already contacted a famous lawyer abroad who specialized in such cases and was waiting for a response. Anathea glanced at her inbox every now and then, not wanting to miss any updates. But there was no reply yet. The clock on the wall ticked away, and the sun outside slowly moved toward the west. Anathea finished her work, stretched, and was about to head home.

Rummaging through her bag, she procures a thin, white complimentary card, sliding it over my desk. Picking it up, I ran my hands over the texture. It was smooth but had gold detailing, announcing class. The name on the card was in big, black block letters. Sam Kinney, Senior Partner at Kinney & Pearson. “Who's this?” I asked, flipping the card to the other side. “My attorney.” She replies. “He's one of the best in New York and he'll make sure that he wins this thing without fuss. But I've gotta warn you, though, he's not exactly cheap.”

She hands one to me and then to Sofia, whose eyes look like sparkling saucers. "If you ever need me, for business or merely a friend, don't hesitate to call." I raise my eyebrows when I read her laminated business card. Lauren Astor, Astor Associates Attorney at law She turns to leave, but before she does, she pauses, whirling on her heels as she eyes those around us with caution. She leans into me, her voice soft and quick but with an edge of seriousness.

“I have to go.” My eyes followed his form as he exited the dining room. He only drank coffee and nothing else. It seems he’s in a hurry. I headed back to my room, but as soon as I opened the door, there was a small paper bag on my bed with a note. ‘Call me if you need something or if anything happens.’ It’s a phone. Something crossed my mind. I immediately find the contact information of our family attorney on their company webpage. “Good day! This is Accralaw Firm. How may I help you?”

"What do you mean by that?" Pete's interest was clearly piqued. Marvin smirked. "ACE Group is an international company. Sure, we're not quite at ATTA's level, but in the last few years we've grown fast. Especially overseas—clients love working with us. Honestly, ACE has a real shot at surpassing ATTA." Pete's eyes darkened. He'd never paid much attention before, mostly because he disliked Marvin, but now he had to admit there was some truth to it.

“How far along are you in the process? Want me to recommend a lawyer?” Before she could say no, he’d already sent over a contact. “Just in case,” he said. “Guys like Aaron—big-name CEOs—they can be tricky. If he gives you any trouble, this lawyer’s one of the best in the business.” Emily glanced at the contact he’d sent. “Thanks,” she said, though she hoped she’d never have to use it.

“Do you have any other questions?” Since he was so direct, I decided not to waste time. “Attorney West, how much is your commission? How should I pay you? Do we need to sign a contract?” “You can decide the commission amount yourself,” he replied calmly. “I will have my assistant contact you to sign the contract when I have time.” I blinked in surprise. “The commission… is up to me?” “Ms. Eloise,” he said calmly, “I am doing this on someone’s behalf. You can simply pay the normal market rate.”

I hope with time, I'll be able to find some peace of mind and move on from these thoughts. However, I got a reprieve when I received a call from our Attorney today, informing me that the Attorney representing AM Myers LLC wants to meet and discuss the lease of the water rights. This news interrupted my thoughts of Austin, and we agreed to meet at our Attorney's office. It's convenient that both attorneys work for the same firm. I informed our Attorney that the entire family will be attending the meeting. Hopefully, this is a good sign that we'll be able to repurchase.

Austin Hook’s law firm. The business card read. At first, I was wondering what I would do…. Until I saw the receptionist's number on the back of it, and put a call through. It was late, but I knew that some receptionists did night shifts, and I was right. As a lady picked up on the second ring… “ Hello, Good evening. This is Kayla Marie, from Austin Hook’s law firm. ” She sounded so calm and professional in a way that made me smile.
