Chapter 860


    Mason asked in a soft tone, “Did you lose trust in me because I didn’t help you win the case against


    Shawn, so that you’d rather seek help from an intern than ask me?”


    Celeste denied it immediately, “No, why would you think that? We didn’t lose the case. We just dropped


    it. You can’t me yourself for that. Who could’ve predicted that Shawn and I weren’t blood–rted?”


    Mason looked hurt, “Then why are you avoiding me?”


    Tm not avoiding you…” Celeste was at a loss for words. She couldn’t possibly say it was because Liam


    was jealous, could she?


    She and Liam weren’t exactly on good terms right now. Even if they made up, she didn’t want to share


    too much with others.


    “I just feel like the money you can get from my case is just peanutspared to the divorce cases of


    those rich folks. I don’t want to hold you back from making your bread and butter. You’re helping me


    purely as a friend. I don’t want to be a constant hassle for you”


    Mason replied, “I never considered your matters as hassles. I’ve always felt guilty for not being able to


    help you reim your mother’s heritage. If I could help with this, maybe it would alleviate some of the


    quilt. So could you not turn me away?”


    Was this his pride as an excellentwyer?


    He couldn’t let go because he wasn’t willing to ept defeat?


    Mason had already helped her a lot. She couldn’t say no to a friend who had been there for her in her


    lowest moments


    “I’ll see when I’m free in the next few days. I’ll contact you then.”


    Mason smiled. Tll be waiting for your call”


    Celeste also smiled, and then curiously asked, “Haven’t you finished that divorce case yet?”


    She remembered who the bald middle–aged man was when she was chatting with Mason.


    Wasn’t he the one who kept chasing Mason to negotiate somethingst time?


    He not only cheated with many lovers, but even had an illegitimate child. His wife was trying to recoup


    the money he spent on his lovers.


    She rerpembered all the details clearly.


    Looking at her cunous expression, Mason smiled, “That’s my client’s private matter


    Celeste covered her mouth and quickly said in a low voice, “Then pretend I didn’t ask


    “But I can tell you,” Mason also spoke in a low voice, “ording to our current evidence, the odds of


    my client winning next week are very high.”


    Celeste immediately praised, “Impressive, impressive.”


    Javier sent a message then, asking why she hadn’te up yet.


    Celeste didn’t want to drag it out any longer. The director is calling me. I have to go up. I’ll contact you


    later”

    Mason nodded, watching her enter the elevator, and then finally shifted his gaze


    Quite a few people had already left. Leonard Hann needed to catch a flight. Two actors had gotten


    drunk and were sent home by the others. The remaining people were also all a bit tipsy
