Amber Reed was not joking – she was serious.


    After all, she was trying to make Jared Farrell feel better. But now, it didn’t seem to work, so she was inevitably not feeling great.


    It was the feeling of neither wanted nor appreciated.


    Without a doubt, she would also be unhappy.


    Seeing that Amber wasn’t joking, Jared straightened his back, and his expression condensed. Then he shook his head, “Babe, I am feeling better now. Don’t worry, okay?”


    Amber wasn’t sure what to feel, looking at the man sitting upright.


    Of course, she was aware – Jared only was saying so because he had noticed her changed attitude.


    He would not want her to be unhappy, either.


    They had the moment, and it was time to move on.


    “If you are not upset anymore, you should be smiling.” Amber looked at Jared.


    Jared’s thin lips twitched, showing a smile, kind of forced.


    Amber nodded, “Great!”


    He had squeezed out an ugly smile.


    But Amber always knew that Jared barely liked to smile – he would smile lightly when he was really feeling in love, or deeply touched.


    Typically he would never smile when requested.


    But he was willing to force a smile on his face for her, which was rare.


    So Amber didn’t give him a hard time afterward – she went along with him.


    The atmosphere in the car finally returned to what it used to be right after they had headed out as if nothing had happened just now.


    Jared moved on, and Amber wouldn’t bring it up again.


    Half an hourter, they arrived at the police station.


    Amber Reed and Jared Farrell went in hand in hand, and after registering in the lobby, someone took them to see Alice.


    Unfortunately, the police officers were interrogating Alice at the moment. It was not a good time for a meeting.


    Amber Reed was not disappointed as she knew the rules and was willing to follow them. She walked to the row of chairs with Jared, and they sat down to wait.


    It was not toote to go in and meet Alice once the police finished with her.


    As soon as Amber and Jared sat down on the row of chairs, a man in a suit came toward them. It was a bit shocking.


    Amber Reed felt a shadow in front of her. She looked up and saw a man with sses. Although he looked ordinary, he had confidence on his face, as if everything was under his control. He was looking at Jared and Amber, smiling.


    That smile was polite and warm. Logically speaking, it was supposed to make people feel good.


    But Amber didn’t like this person but rather resented him.


    She frowned and asked, “Excuse me, but do I know you, sir?”


    This person had an extraordinary temperament – the suit he was in was from a designer brand. He must be someone unusual.


    Amber didn’t know or recognize the man, but Jared by her side did.


    Because he had recognized thewyer, his face turned a little unsightly.


    “Are you Alice’swyer?” Before the man could answer Amber’s question, Jared had already opened his mouth and told the man’s identity directly.


    “Lawyer?” There was a hint of surprise in Amber’s eyes. Then she stared at the man in front of her.


    It turned out that this person was awyer – well, he did look like one.


    Unfortunately, he was indeed Alice’swyer.


    No wonder Amber didn’t like him, at first sight, she had seen this man.


    She never liked anyone that was rted to Alice.


    “Yes, Mr. Farrell, I’m Ms. Alice’s attorney. Sir, long time no see.” The man replied with a smile to Jared, with a bit of embarrassment.


    Amber saw it, looked at Jared with a dark face, and tilted her head in confusion, “Do you know thiswyer?”


    Jared squinted his eyes and said, “I know him. He was a ssmate of mine in college. He was also the former Head of the Legal Department of the Farrell Group.”


    Hearing Jared’s exnation, Amber’s eyes widened.


    College ssmates?


    Former Head of the Legal Department of the Farrell Group?


    Amber looked at the man across from her in horror.


    Being stared at Amber, the man felt more embarrassed.


    He touched the tip of his nose and seemed awkward, “Yes, ma’am.”


    “So you were Jared’s ssmate and his former Legal Department Head, how could you be Alice’swyer?” Amber asked out of doubt.


    As awyer, it was impossible not to find out who hired you before taking the job.


    Finding out the identity or status of the client before considering taking the job was something awyer ought to do, whether you won or lost thewsuit, one might get themselves in trouble for not knowing the client’s background.


    So thiswyer must have figured out Alice’s counter-party was Amber and Jared before bing herwyer.


    And if he had known it was Jared against Alice, thewyer should have avoided confronting him and turned her down. But thewyer didn’t – so he became Alice’s attorney.


    Thiswyer must feel that his status was superior to Jared, so he was not afraid to offend him.


    Or did he think he was acquainted with Jared so Jared wouldn’t do anything to him?


    Amber’s thoughts were too easy to figure out as they were almost all written on her face. The attorney was even more embarrassed, “About that… Ahem – Mr. Farrell should know.”


    Hearing this, Amber immediately turned to look at Jared, “Did you know?”


    Jared narrowed his eyes, “He is just a very greedy man. Even though he knows I am against Alice and this is an unwinnablewsuit, he still acts as Alice’s attorney. There is only one reason – Alice pays him well.”


    Amber immediately looked at thewyer again to confirm whether it was true.


    The guy nodded immediately, “It’s hard to turn her down – she pays too well.”


    Saying so, he covered his face in shame, “Actually, I am only here to go through the process. I’ve read the case file in detail and understood the whole thing. The main fault is on my client, and the evidence is conclusive. Even she admits it. Hiring me as awyer will not overturn the case, let alone win the case. The reason why I took the job is simple to get the money. It’s like given to me for doing nothing.”


    “…” Amber’s mouth twitched silently, which seemed to make sense.


    If she were him, she might take the job as well.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    After all, the money was like given to the hand without effort.


    One must be sick to turn it down.


    So, after hearing thewyer’s words, Amber seemed to have understood why thewyer took Alice’s case.


    “I’m afraid it is not that simple, is it?” At the moment, Jared squinted his eyes and suddenly said, “Whoever knows a little about the case knows that Alice will surely lose, so hiring an attorney to reconcile is just running the process. If that was the case, why didn’t she pick any randomwyer? Why did she have to pay a lot of money to hire you? Come on, spill it out – did the person behind Alice specially hire you and let youe at my way?”


    Jared stared at thewyer.


    Thewyer pushed the silver-rimmed sses on the bridge of his nose and smiled helplessly, “Mr. Farrell, I really can’t hide anything from you. From college to now, your insight has always been so sharp. You are right – Mr. Stockert hired me on purpose. I don’t know where he found out that I was your college ssmate, and he paid a lot of money to hire me, hoping you could cut Ms. Alice some ck for the sake of our rtionship.”


    He pointed in the direction of the interrogation room.


    Alice was inside at the moment.


    Amber looked at the man beside her, then looked at thewyer in front of her, and sighed in her heart.


    Cut Alice some ck?


    Hoping that Jared would be merciful? – The people behind Alice were going to be disappointed.


    No rtions could cloud Jared’s judgment.


    Unless it was his grandmother or Amber Reed.
