Luther immediately tapped the ss of water in front of him against the table, creating a sharp sound.


    Vi’s words got stuck in her throat as Luther gave her a warning nce. “What are you bbering


    about?” His tone was noticeably displeased,


    Luther’s reputation preceded him, but he was never one to take on urgent cases. If it were not for


    Matthew making the request, he would never have agreed. Moreover, he looked down on such small

    cases.


    He directed his gaze to Mnie again, but this time, it was no longer calm. There was a hint of


    impatience now as he said, “Miss Smith, I advise you to consider this carefully so as to not end up with


    regrets.”


    Mnie’s expression gradually turned cold as she stared at Luther. “Mr. Laing, your methods of


    intimidation are formidable. I hope you can maintain the same demeanor in court,” she said evenly.


    “As for the settlement, I suppose you’re also the one who prepared the one in Oskon City, yes? I threw


    that one in the trash, and I’ll do the same with this one.” With that, Mnie stood up, grabbed the


    folder, and tossed it into the nearby trash can. Then, she left the café.


    Did he expect her to agree to a settlement? How ridiculous! However, Mnie also knew that this


    lawsuit would be a battle of the wits. This person Vi mentioned that not even someone like Eugene


    dared touch…


    Mnie’s eyes darkened, and her lips were pressed together tightly as she returned to the vi.


    The next morning, Mnie went to Navair Law Firm as agreed to discuss the case with Zara.


    When Mnie arrived, Seraphine happened to be outside. When Seraphine saw her, she smiled and


    said, “You’re here. Miss Henson said you should go straight in when youe. It’s the same office as


    yesterday.”


    Without much thought, Mnie went straight over and knocked on the door. When she heard a voice


    telling her to enter, she opened the door and went. It was then that she realized there was someone


    else inside.


    At the sound of the door opening, the person looked up, and Mnie instantly met a pair of deep eyes.


    She hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to enter or not.


    Clocking in on the situation, Zara pushed her sses up and greeted her, “Miss Smith, please wait a


    moment. Mr. Scott and I are just finishing up the final details.”


    “In that case, I’ll wait outside.”


    Zara replied, “That’s alright. No need to waste time. I have two more cases to organizeter.”


    Mnie blinked and nced briefly at Eugene before entering. Doubts had begun to form in her mind,


    but she did not think it was appropriate to voice them now. She just quietly observed him.

    Eugene listened to Zara’s exnation intently. There was a faint blue tinge under his eyes, indicating


    he had not rested well. With her thoughts weighing on her mind, Mnie settled down beside him.


    It was not until Zara called her name that she snapped back to attention. Zara’s expression was stern.


    as she addressed Mnie, “Miss Smith, I understand your current state of mind, but I hope you can


    answer my questions truthfully.”


    Mnie nodded. “I will.”


    She looked at Zara directly and said, “Miss Henson,st night, Luther Laing approached me and hoped


    that I would ept a settlement agreement. I refused.”


    Zara was not surprised to hear that. “He always uses such tactics,” she said simply.


    Mnie paused, shifting her gaze toward Eugene before continuing, “But Vi told me the person


    supporting her is someone even Eugene doesn’t dare to touch.”
