Chapter 135


    Nine o’clock in the morning.


    Hayes Corporation President’s Office.


    The lights and cameras were set. The host hesitated before asking, “Mr. Hayes, would you consider


    wearing a cap and perhaps a touch of makeup? It might enhance your


    appearance on camera.”


    The host, breaking into a sweat, hurriedly replied, “Not at all, Mr. Hayes. Your looks set the standard


    for the whole of Northbridge. It’s just that the bandage on your head is a bit distracting. Our


    interview today is about the economic recovery after the pandemic, and your current look somewhat


    suggests that you’re a survivor of a catastrophe.”


    The entire crew was stunned. They felt as if they’d stumbled upon a juicy piece of gossip.


    –


    The prince of the Hayes family had a girlfriend and she was a formidable one at that. She even


    dished out some domestic discipline.


    Oh, my goodness! This piece of news would be a blockbuster in the entertainment world.


    The director, hearing this, immediately smiled and said, “No problem at all. It aligns. perfectly with


    our content. I didn’t expect you to be so down–to–earth, Mr. Hayes.”


    He quickly whispered to the host, “Let’s tweak the discussion topics. I guarantee this. interview is


    going to be explosive.”


    Meanwhile…


    Today was ra’s first day in court, and she was somewhat nervous. After all, everything she had


    learned so far was theoretical. She had never been on the real battlefield.


    Anders chuckled and patted her head. “Don’t be nervous. Just bring out that debating spirit you had


    inw school, and you’ll be fine.”


    ra nodded, “Thanks, Anders. I’m heading in now.”


    The case was a giarism suit involving Alicia. The opposing designer was once a model and was


    now a social media influencer with millions of followers. She not only had the support of a massive


    fan base but also had hired Northbridge’s most eloquent attorney, Erik.


    Nobody thought Alicia stood a chance at winning.


    The case had caused a stir online, so the trial was being broadcast live.


    ra, seeminglyposed at the attorney’s table, felt her palms start to sweat. Alicia was the


    mayor’s wife, and could have chosen manywyers to represent her, yet she chose ra.


    The implications were clear to ra.


    This industry was all about reputation. Without it, clients wouldn’te to you, no matter how


    skilled you were. This was the first step that Anders hadid out for her, and she couldn’t afford any


    mistakes.

    ra took a deep breath, hiding the slight panic in her heart, and focused intently on the opposing


    attorney’s arguments. After several rounds of fierce debate, ra grew more confident and


    ultimately won the case with her eloquent presentation and solid evidence. When the judge read the


    closing statements, ra’s eyes sparkled with tears.


    She had sessfully entered the world ofw. From now on, this would be her battlefield, and the


    dignified, mysterious robes of her profession would be her armor.


    She excitedly epted interviews from reporters.


    ra became famous overnight. The legal world was abuzz. She also topped the trending


    searches.


    ra walked out of the courtroom, surrounded by a crowd. Her peers from the same. industry were


    by her side. Several brought her flowers, and others invited her out for dinner and a game of tennis.


    She epted all the invitations without hesitation.


    <pn, who had been sitting in his car watching the scene, clenched his jaw. As a part of a man’s


    world, he could easily see the intentions behind the gestures of those men.
