Chapter 421


    In the past, Freddy would have immediately retorted when hearing insult words against him. But


    today... he didn''t do so.


    He was obviously stunned for a moment. A trace of panic appeared on his face, and then he quickly


    calmed down.


    "That''s not something big. You can''t talk back to the client!"


    Audrey smiled and replied, "Okay, Mr. Steele."


    "Alright, you''ve been busy with things about the Cordova Group recently. So if you can''t handle things


    about our firm, just leave it to your colleagues." Freddy said.


    Audrey said, "It''s okay. I can handle them! I''m indeed a little busy, but I won''t dy anything else."


    "Then okay!"


    Freddy said and turned to leave.


    "Mr. Steele, wait a minute!" Audrey called out to Freddy.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Audrey smiled and said, "Our firm is responsible for the case about Liam. So... can you let me handle


    it?"


    Freddy looked in dilemma. "Well, I have transferred it to Deegan."


    Audrey nced at Deegan, who was seated in front of her.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Although Deegan had failed in many cases, Freddy still felt he was a greatwyer. So Freddy still let


    him be responsible for important cases again and again to prove his choice despite being angry with


    Deegan.


    But Audrey called out to Deegan.


    "Deegan."


    "What''s up?" Deegan turned around.


    Audrey smiled and said, "You''re responsible for the Liam case, right?"


    "Yes, what''s wrong?"


    "Can you transfer it to me?"


    "But Mr. Steele said I can handle it. How can I transfer it to someone else?"


    Audrey narrowed her eyes. "Deegan, I have a case that is just about toe to an end. We''ll definitely


    win because we''ve gotplete evidence. How about I exchange this case with you?"


    Deegan''s eyes lit up.


    But he said casually to save his face, "No. Since I''ve taken it over, I will be responsible for that!"


    Deegan turned around proudly.


    Audrey red at Deegan''s back.


    Freddy looked at Audrey awkwardly. "Audrey, you see, Deegan has taken over this case. So it''s better


    to leave it to Deegan. I''ll go back to the office."


    After Freddy left, Audrey nced at Deegan, her eyes narrowed.


    She had to get this case no matter what.


    Since Deegan refused to transfer to her, she could only find another way to force him to do so.


    Suddenly something urred to Audrey''s mind.


    "Brenda, what happened in the office today?"


    Brenda looked carefully in the direction of Freddy and mysteriously looked at Audrey. He then pointed


    in the direction of the bathroom when he ensured Freddy wouldn''t see him.


    Audrey knew what he meant. She walked to the bathroom with Brenda.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Brenda nced at Freddy''s office. "Mr. Steele''s rival is here today."


    Audrey knew who Steele''s rival was.


    Two blocks away was also argew firm, and its director was Freddy''s ssmate from high school.


    Now they becamepetitors and often snatched away cases from each other.


    But often thatw firm would get the case as it was richer.


    "Then what happened?"


    "Mr. Steele was also a greatwyer. He was the only director when the firm was established."


    Audrey nodded. "I know this. Mr. Steele no longer worked as awyer because of some reason.


    Instead, he started to do the management."


    "Yes, I heard their conversation today. It seems that the director of that firm wanted to invite Mr. Steele


    to attend his wedding."


    "Attend wedding? It''s not a big deal."


    As ssmates, it made sense to invite the other one to his wedding.


    "That''s right. But there is something wrong with the wedding... The bride was Freddy''s beloved girl."


    Audrey was shocked.


    So it was because Freddy saw his love rivals.


    And Freddy snatched away the case just because the other party had taken away his beloved girl.


    "Well, we can''t decide the direction of a rtionship..."


    Brenda looked around and said in a low voice, "It is said that the bride dated Mr. Steele, but for some


    reason, she dumped Mr. Steele."


    Audrey was surprised again.


    What a bumpy romantic experience!


    Audrey knew that Freddy was almost 40 years old now, but he was still single. She had heard that


    someone wanted to seduce him, but it didn''t work. Audrey had also seen things like that.


    "In short, Mr. Steele is in a bad mood today. You''d better be careful. Don''t make him mad."


    Audrey nodded cautiously. "Okay, I see."


    She was not that stupid to enrage him.


    After this conversation, Audrey nced in the direction of Deegan, her beautiful eyes narrowed.


    She walked directly to Deegan.


    Deegan nced at her from the corner of his eyes.


    "Angel, what''s up?"


    Audrey smiled and looked at him. "Deegan, are you free at noon?"


    Deegan nced at her and raised his chin arrogantly. "My time is precious."


    "Could I have lunch with you? It''s my treat."


    Deegan sized up Audrey carefully, who gave him a gentle, sweet smile.


    Audrey really looked attractive with her smile when she treated him well. Deegan was a little dazzled by


    her smile.


    For the first time, he found that Audrey was so beautiful.


    He didn''t notice her beauty because of some bad impressions of her.


    He knew that Audrey had never had a boyfriend.


    If he could... get Audrey and sleep with her, she would never hold up her head in front of him.


    "You want to treat me to lunch?"


    Of course, Audrey knew nothing about what Deegan had thought about.


    "Yes!"


    "Then I will say yes no matter what!" Deegan happily agreed.
