Chapter 467


    Freddy was angry that Audrey was about to leave, so he deliberately handed over all the recently


    suppressed cases to Audrey.


    Audrey did not even frown as she took the case folders over.


    "Alright."


    Freddy intentionally wanted to make things difficult for Audrey. But Audrey looked as if she was


    resigned to her fate. Freddy red at Audrey hatefully, and then turned around and returned to his


    office.


    Some colleagues did not know about Audrey''s resignation. Seeing Freddy suddenly give so many


    cases to Audrey, they were all extremely surprised.


    One of her colleagues walked to Audrey. "Audrey, why does Mr. Steele give so many cases to you?


    He... never gives you such small cases in the past, right?"


    It had to be known that Audrey was now one of the bestwyers of Square Law Firm. Every case she


    received was a big one. How could she be the one to handle such a small case of disputes that


    someone had been scratched by cats? It was inevitably surprising.


    Audrey said disapprovingly, "Awyer could handle either big or small cases. Why can''t I ept the


    small ones?"


    The asking colleague was speechless.


    Brenda, who was sitting behind Audrey, took her bag and prepared to leave. She passed by Audrey


    while ncing at her coldly. And Brenda said to the colleague who asked Audrey questions, "She is


    going to have a richer employer now. Why should she bother to ept big cases from her old


    employer?"


    The colleague''s eyes were wide open.


    "Really? Whichw office is Audrey going to join?"


    Brenda looked at Audrey with interest. But Audrey said with just the hint of a smile, "Brenda, you don''t


    have to intend any sarcasm. As I said before, I want to rest for some time. As for changing my


    employer, it is nonsense."


    "Actions speak louder than words. Do I believe in your words? No. And I don''t believe that you will


    leave the job behind as awyer and go to rest."


    Audrey didn''t look at Brenda anymore. She opened the files beside her. "Excuse me. I need to study


    the documents. Could you guys just..."


    Brenda red at Audrey and walked to the door in her high heels.


    The news of Audrey''s resignation spread throughout the entirew firm because of the conversation.


    After they left, severalwyers came to ask Audrey for the real reason. But Audrey refused to tell them.


    Everyone in thew firm unanimously had the same guess. It was that Audrey was probably leaving the


    firm. And because she was going to leave, she became arrogant and looked down on her former


    colleagues.


    At noon, everyone went to have lunch. Audrey was still sitting at theputer desk while processing


    the documents in her hands.


    Suddenly, her mobile phone rang.


    Audrey didn''t even look at it before picking up the phone and cing it between her ear and shoulder.


    "Audrey is speaking."


    Bryson''s voice came from inside.


    "Are you busy?"


    Audrey recognized Bryson''s voice, and her lips curled into a sweet smile.


    "Yes, I suddenly got a dozen legal cases in my hands. I am busy looking at the specific details of the


    cases."


    "Suddenly? How?"


    "Well, no big deal. My resignation is too sudden for the firm. So the boss assigns small cases rather


    than big ones to me!" Audrey sounded like she had seen through everything.


    "Have you already handed over your resignation letter?"


    "Yes, Mr. Steele has signed my resignation application. I will leave thew firm in a few days."


    "Do you need to give it a second thought?"


    Audrey held the phone in one hand and pinched the sore bridge of her nose with the other hand. She


    leaned against the back of the chair and answered the phone.


    "This morning... I saw Julian."


    Bryson''s voice suddenly turned grim. "What did he tell you?"


    "Nothing. He couldn''t bully me anymore. Instead, he was frightened by me. However..." Audrey said,


    "He probably won''t let this go. And I am afraid that the first one to suffer is Square Law Firm."


    "I can help Square Law Firm get rid of Julian''s threat."


    "No need." Audreyughed. "I will always be an employee in it. So... I''m prepared to open aw firm


    myself."


    "You want to run aw firm yourself?" Bryson asked suspiciously.


    Audrey nodded. "Are you doubting that I am not qualified to have myw firm?"


    "No. You have the very qualifications and strengths to have your own firm. Have you already chosen a


    site for your firm?"


    "I''m still considering it."


    Bryson pondered for a moment.


    "If you leave now and start yourw firm, I''m afraid that Square Law Firm will..."


    "Since I have already decided to quit my job, I have naturally thought of the consequences. Whatever


    wille in the future, I will deal with it. As awyer, I am professional. I believe that I will not be the


    one to lose."

    "I believe you too."


    Audrey said with a smile, "I''m busy right now, so I can''t apany you for lunch. But you have to


    remember to eat."


    "You haven''t eaten lunch, right? I''ll get someone to send it to you."


    "No need. I was preparing to order a takeaway."


    "Alright then." Bryson urged, "And you have to remember to rest."


    "Yes, sir."


    ...


    Three dayster, it was the day that Audrey officially left Square Law Firm. She sat in her seat and


    packed up her things. In the entirew firm, only Lucy was standing beside Audrey with concern.


    Audrey had known the superficiality of colleagues'' rtionships.


    "Audrey, are you leaving?"


    Audrey replied with a faint smile as she packed her things, "Yes, my contract has expired."


    "I can''t bear to part with you, Audrey."


    Brenda, who was standing behind Audrey, mocked, "Audrey has a better choice. I would not stay here


    in the firm if I were her. Besides, you are only an internwyer as long as Audrey remains here. If she


    leaves, you will get your chance to be a realwyer."


    Lucy looked at Brenda with a hint of anger. "Audrey is not a person like that. She must have her


    reasons to resign. She has always been straightforward and upright. On the contrary, Brenda, you have


    been ndering Audrey in the firm these days. You have gone too far."


    Brenda scoffed. "You argue in favor of her, don''t you? Let''s see what you can say after she goes to


    anotherw firm."


    Audrey only smiled in response to Brenda''s sarcasm without saying anything.


    After packing up her things, Audrey handed Lucy a notebook, which recorded important cases that


    Audrey had experienced during those years in the firm. These experiences might help Lucy be a good


    lawyer effectively.


    Before Audrey left, she went to Freddy''s office and handed the key to her drawer to Freddy.


    Freddy didn''t turn to look at her.


    Audrey knew that Freddy was still angry with her. She finally left the office after a bow to Freddy.
