Chapter 2404


    The man who spoke wore a smug grin; afterpleting his task, he was looking forward to a


    leisurely half-day off.


    He often thought how lucky he was to havended the job at thepany after a rigorous


    interview process.


    Hard work may be temporary, but happiness, he believed, was forever.


    “Today, I''m not here on official business,” Alyssa tapped her fingers on the desktop, addressing the


    elitewyers at the Howard Group. “There''s a bit of a family matter that I need your expertise on.”


    To build such an elite legal team, they had been scouting talent from top universities for years and


    asionally even flew abroad to recruit those eager to join their ranks.


    By now, their team had be an unbeatable force.


    And because of this, they were even more dedicated to serving the family’s interests.


    “The matter I bring to you today is rather urgent, and when ites to legal issues, you guys are


    my go-to. Don''t worry, this is an extra assignment. Naturally, there will be additionalpensation


    for your overtime-consider it a favor to an olddy.”


    Alyssa’s smile was gentle, yet her tone left no room for refusal.


    To handle the issue concerning Ivy, she had decided to go straight to thewyers-making clear their


    stance was paramount.


    Since Ivy''s debut as a fresh-faced actress, she had been dogged by countless negative headlines.


    Such aggressive news seemed to aim at ensuring Ivy would vanish from the public eye for good.


    Previously, Ivy had chosen not to retaliate, believing in the principle that the innocent need no


    defense.


    The only time she ever rified matters was to dispel rumors of bullying on set. But with no


    company to back her up against the nderers, she had remained silent.


    It wasn''t surprising that the online crowd thought Ivy was a ma for trouble.


    But from now on, it was time to send a clear message: Ivy was not to be trifled with.


    Anyone who dared to spread rumors would have to answer in court.


    “Madam, we promise we''ll try our best,” the leadwyer said.


    With a p of her hands, Alyssa signaled Quinton, who entered with a stack of documents.

    “Leo, I want you to take a thorough look at my demands and then draft a n for me,” she


    said.


    Leo, the leadwyer and a wizard at handling defamation cases, raised his eyebrows in surprise at


    seeing Ivy''s name in the documents. He looked up with a yful smile. “Madam, may I ask what


    rtion this actress has to you?"This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Alyssa’s lips curled into a knowing smile. “This youngdy is my granddaughter-inw. You


    understand now why I''m in such a hurry to get your help, right? These rascals have dared to sling


    mud at a member of the Howard family. Do you think I''d just sit by and do nothing?”


    Her smile was warm, but thewyers avoided meeting her gaze; the authority emanating from her


    eyes was not something their youthful confidence could withstand.


    So, the rising star actress Ivy was the Howard family’s granddaughter-inw!


    This actress must have some serious talent tond a role in Colton’s movie right out of the gate.


    Leo briefly skimmed through the documents and then offered a response. “Rest assured, Madam,


    this won''t be a tough nut for us to crack. But I need to know your exact objective-do you want to


    silence these people from mentioning her, or do you wish to convince the public of her


    innocence?”


    For the team ofwyers, the strategies for achieving these goals would be entirely


    different.
