“In that cas
case, what should I do now?” asked Anya as she handed the documents back to Jamie.
“We have to prove that this document was a forged but that is quite hard,” said Jamie solemnly. “Also, we need to prove that the MacMillan family lied to your mother when she signed the divorce agreement. That is the only way for us to have any chances of winning the suit.”
Since it sounded hard to prove the legitimacy of the divorce agreement, Anya was at a loss about what she should do now.
“Jamie, my mother signed this agreement ages ago. It sounds hard to prove their legitimacy. How should we go about proving it?”
Jamie noticed how worried Anya was, so he comforted her thoughtfully, “Don’t worry about proving the agreement’s legitimacy. I will cup with something.”
“I appreciate it, Jamie.” Anya was so grateful Jamie was willing to help her with the case that she did not know what to say.

“You are welcome. Since I agreed to take on your mother’s case, I will do everything I can in my power to help you.” Jamie smiled as he said, “Also, you are my cousin’s best friend. How could I stand by and not help?”
“Thank you.” Anya thanked him once more.
“Anya, don’t worry about it.” Cindy walked out with a small pot of floral tea after Anya thanked Jamie. She smiled as she chimed in, “My cousin is a good guy and a top lawyer in the industry.”
“Cindy, cut it out,” Jamie interrupted Cindy right away when she flattered him. He did not want Cindy to brag about him with Anya around. “Is the tea ready?”
“All done. Have some.” Cindy placed the floral tea on the coffee table and poured them a cup of tea each. “My master is highly revered in the Japanese tea ceremony industry.”
“Thanks.” Jamie smiled as he cooled the cup of tea in his hand and took a sip. It was genuinely sweet and fragrant. He could also taste the scent of roses on his tongue. She was genuinely getting very good at making tea.
“Not bad at all.”
“That goes without saying. I learned from the best after all.” Cindy lifted her chin smugly before she said to Anya, “Have a sip.”
“Sure.” Anya picked up the teacup, took a sip, and felt it was excellent. “It’s really good.”
Cindy smiled even more happily when she won both their praise. “Then you should have more.”
“Oh yes, Ms. MacMillan, I heard Cindy saying you are going to move in here,” said Jamie as he put down the teacup when he recalled the matter.

“I plan on changing jobs, so I wanted to move.” Anya trusted Jamie a lot. Since he was her lawyer, she was rather honest about the situation. “Cindy was so kind to letstay here.”
“I see.” Jamie finally realized what was going on. He promptly smiled and said, “This is a good district. Also, I happen to live nearby. That way, it will be easier to talk about the case.”
“Jamie, are you planning to hit on Anya?” Cindy could tell her cousin was interested in dating Anya, so she could not resist teasing him.
Jamie smiled without retorting and seemed to be making silent admission.
Anya felt awkward and blushed a little. It never crossed her mind that she could date an elite lawyer like Jamie. After all, she was the mother of two children. Also, she was a single unmarried mother.
She was keenly aware it was impossible for a man of Jamie’s status to accept someone with a background like hers.
“How could he possibly be attracted toconsidering how ordinary I am?” said Anya as she cleared her throat shyly.
Jamie noticed Anya’s uneasiness, so he said, “Drop it. You are making Ms. MacMillan feel uncomfortable.”
“Fine. Let’s chat about something else.” Cindy did not want to make Anya uneasy, so she changed the subject.
“Okay.”
