In the morning, Audrey had just arrived at the office when Freddy came.
"Audrey, there is a new case. The client wants you to come personally. It's a well-paying job. Take it." Freddy placed
the document in front of Audrey.
Ever since Audrey became famous, she was often commissioned to take cases.
Freddy knew her popularity and would choose some cases with high rewards.
Audrey flipped through the materials.
She had seen this case on the news. The president of a company had passed away. His sons came into conflict on
the distribution of the inheritance and took each other to court.
The client was one of the brothers.
The case involved property disputes and was complicated. Thus, it would charge a high price.
After briefly sorting the case, Audrey called the client and asked to meet up in the morning.
Deegan, who sat in front of Audrey, snorted as he saw that Audrey had received another well-paying case.
Hearing this, Audrey smiled and looked at Deegan.
"Deegan, I heard that you have a case to be held this morning?"
Deegan did not even turn his head.
"Yes."
"You're a great lawyer. I believe you'll win this time."
Deegan squeezed a smile.

was impossible to win.
"Thanks!" Deegan said through gritted teeth.
Audrey and the client made an appointment an hour later. After a while, Audrey picked up her things and left.
The driver sent by Bryson sent was waiting for Audrey at the door and drove her to the client.
They met in a building.
Audrey went to the floor where the client was.
When she reached the floor, Audrey frowned and glanced at a company in front of her that was dimly lit.
Through the window, she saw only a few people in it.
Audrey walked to the front desk and handed over her name card.
"Excuse me, I'm Audrey from Square Law Firm. I'm looking for Mr. Manning."
The receptionist looked at Audrey with a meaningful smile. He pointed inside and said, "Mr. Manning is in the second
last office in the innermost section."
"Thank you!"
Behind the front desk were cubicles. Audrey walked inside.
The entire room was silent, so quiet that Audrey felt a little strange.
Before she could enter, a man in black came up.
"Are you Audrey?"
"I am." Audrey nodded.
"Mr. Manning is waiting for you. Please come with me!"
The man led the way and Audrey followed him.
As the man walked forward, the wind that blew into the window lifted a corner of the man's sleeve. Audrey saw the
hilt of a dagger from the man's sleeve as well as a silver cold light.
Audrey finally understood why she felt strange. It was a trap.
She suddenly stopped.
The man noticed and immediately turned around. He stared at Audrey with his shrewd eyes.
"Audrey, Mr. Manning is in here. Why did you stop?"
Audrey smiled and looked at him. "Sorry, I left something important in the car. I will get it quickly and come back
soon. Please tell Mr. Manning."
Just as Audrey was about to turn around, the man quickly took a few steps forward and blocked her way.
"What do you need? We can help."
"I'm afraid the driver doesn't trust you. He won't give you the thing. I'll go myself!"
The man still stood in front of Audrey, not letting her go.
The man looked around. With a hint, the people in the cubicles who pretended to be working all got up from their
seats and surrounded Audrey.
Seeing this, Audrey raised her eyebrows slightly.

The man in black glared at Audrey.
"We are men and might accidentally injure you. To avoid being hurt, I think you'd better listen to us."
Audrey smiled again. "I came here for work. I didn't expect you to treat me like this. Can we talk?"
The man's face darkened. He reached out to grab Audrey.
Audrey turned her waist and dodged his hand.
The man saw that Audrey dodged his hand so quickly and instantly attacked her again.
However, Audrey escaped again. The man was furious. He threw out a punch to hit Audrey in the chest, while
Audrey calmly clenched her fist and countered.
The man was knocked back a few steps by Audrey.
Seeing that Audrey was so difficult to deal with, he ordered people around with a gloomy face, "Go and catch her!"
Audrey narrowed her eyes and kicked one of them away. Then, she grabbed the collars of two men rushing toward
her and slammed their heads together.
Just as Audrey was about to continue fighting, a group of people rushed into the office and quickly controlled the
situation.
Tyson looked at Audrey worriedly. "Miss Koch, are you alright?"
Audrey smiled at him. "I'm fine."
"Miss Koch, leave it to us. You should leave first!"
"Ok!"
Audrey left the company.
However, just as she walked out of the building, she felt that something was wrong.
Someone was staring at her.
