Chapter 762


    "Alright, keep that bnce in your mindset, and trust us at West Legal Services. We''ll go all out for


    you."


    "Much appreciated."


    Dorothy stood up and gave Ephraim a very formal nod. "I''m truly grateful that West Legal Services


    is willing to take on this case without fearing the bacsh from the Lopez Corporation. Of course, I


    have absolute trust in you."


    "No need to thank me! Going the extra mile for our clients is what we''re all about."


    Ephraim could hardly stand the formality, feeling a chill run down his spine!


    After Dorothy left, Ephraim''s assistant sidled up, whispering, "Boss, are we really taking on this


    case? You do realize this involves the Lopez Corporation..."


    With a nce, Ephraim replied, "If nobody had given the green light, I wouldn''t dare touch it."


    "In Eldorria City, who would be bold enough to back you against the Lopez Corporation?" The


    assistant was all ears, "Can you let me in on it?"


    "Curious?"


    "Yeah!"


    Ephraim flicked him on the forehead, "Idiot! If you know that nobody in Eldorria City would dare


    cross the Lopez Corporation, then you should be able to guess who''s pulling strings behind the


    scenes."


    Rubbing his sore head, the assistant grumbled, "So, who is it? It can''t possibly be someone from


    the Lopez Corporation themselves, backing Ms. Sanchez to sue their ownpany, can it? Are


    they testing their legal department or what?"


    "Looks like you''re destined to be an assistant a while longer. I''ve got to head to court."


    ...


    After leaving West Legal Services, Dorothy went straight to the supermarket to pick up some


    veggies and fruits before heading back to her apartment.


    She had been house-hunting earlier, nning to check out some ces once she had all her


    evidence lined up and herwsuit filed. She needed to move out of Karen''s ce.


    Speaking of Karen, Dorothy realized she hadn''t gotten a response from her all day!


    It couldn''t be that she was still asleep, could it?


    As Dorothy booted up herputer to organize the data on the Lopez Corporation for Kevin, she


    dialed Karen''s number.


    No answer after several rings.


    Just as she was about to try again, a message from Karen popped up on WhatsApp.


    [It''s Jeffrey. She''s in the shower. What''s up?]


    Dorothy frowned slightly and texted back: [Why do you always have her phone?]


    Jeffrey quickly sent a photo.


    She opened it to see Karen fresh out of the shower, her hair still dripping wet.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    [She said her hands were wet and it''s hard to use the phone. Plus, she''s carrying my child, what


    could I possibly do? You got something to worry about?]


    After thinking it over, Dorothy figured it made sense.


    The couple was probably enjoying their honeymoon phase, making up after a spat. It was normal


    for them not to reply right away. Besides, it wasn''t like she and Karen were constantly in touch, only


    messaging when needed.


    [Just take good care of her! And remind Karen to call Keh. He''s pretty upset and needs some


    smoothing over.]


    The reply that came back seemed to be from Karen herself, given the way it started with Dorothy''s


    name.


    [Dorothy, got it! I''m a bit scared Keh will chew me out. Better let him cool down before tackling it


    head-on! Don''t worry about me. I''m doing great here with Jeffrey. He''s treating me well.]
