Meanwhile...

"In the case of..."

Silence filled the courtroom as they listened to the judge's stern voice delivering his verdict.

Those involved in the case on both sides waited with bated breath, hoping they would hear what they wanted to

hear.

"... You have been found not guilty"

Cheers erupted from one side as the accused and her family cried in joy, rushing to embrace each other. Those

on the other side, however, frowned deeply and watched as the accused celebrated with her family.

As the judge continued his closing remarks, very few people listened mostly the lawyers, who were paying

attention to the important details. The only thing that mattered to the accused and her family was whether or

not she was found guilty.

Penny, who was seated in the back, shook her foot and watched the scene unfold before her eyes. The corner of

her mouth curled up as she nodded in satisfaction. Her eyes veered to the accused and her family, who were

now thanking their lawyer for helping them. "Another win," she thought, her eyes on the beautiful and smart

woman who dominated the court today without breaking a sweat.

After a few minutes, Penny stood up as everyone began leaving the courtroom. As she did, she caught sight of

the opposing prosecutor speaking glaringly to the defense lawyer. The latter simply replied with a smirk.

"Well." Penny shrugged and headed straight out of the courthouse, knowing there were more things that Grace

would do with the family. Therefore, she waited patiently outside the portico of the court.

"I knew it!" After a few minutes of brief silence, Penny heard that familiar voice. "I thought | was seeing things.

Slowly, Penny turned her head back, only to see the slawyer from the courtroom today speaking briefly to

the family. They thanked Grace again before she quickly made her way to Penny.

"Did | make you wait too long?" Grace asked meaningfully, smiling.

Penny shook her head. "It's not makingwait if | just dropped by to say hello without giving you a heads up,

right?"

"Yes, it's not, Grace chuckled. "Let's go. | know a place where we can eat and talk. I'm starving."

The two women drove to a nearby restaurant and briefly discussed Grace's case, which she won today, on their

way there and while waiting for their food.

"Oh... so it's a pro bono case, huh?" Penny nodded as she reached for the glass of water. "Well, that's nice of

you."

Grace chuckled. "It's not nice of me

| simply got her justice. | couldn't let her go to prison when she's already been abused throughout her two

decades of marriage."

"I know: Penny smiled proudly, looking at Grace with appreciation.

At this point, Penny shouldn't be surprised by how Grace turned out in this lifetime. After all, Charles supported

Grace's education, and Penny was kept updated on how Grace and her mother were doing. Not only that, but she

also stayed in touch with Grace even when she was abroad.

Even so, Penny still fel

proud of Grace. Despite being a young lawyer, Grace was rising through the ranks very quickly, with a one

hundred percent winning rate. Currently, Grace is the youngest junior partner in one of the biggest firms in the

country, which is a great achievement for her. "Anyway, enough about my case. Grace waved dismissively,

signaling that they were about to change the subject. "Which one are we going to talk about? The company? Or

your marriage?"

"The company."

Grace narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Are you sure?"

"Yes." Penny nodded. "My marriage can be dealt with later, but | need to finish the preparations for PrGroup.

Soddballs are givinga hard tbecause they're connected with sof the men in power."

"Mhm. | heard from Yugi. Isn't that why you chere? They were giving Yugi a hard time, and so, you had to

chere even before your office was done."

"I chearly because | miss my family."

Grace chuckled. "I already sent them a memo." She winked. "The documents will be finished in a few days, and

you'll be ready to operate. That is if nothing comes up."

"You think something will cup?"

"Nope" Grace shook her head. "Your brother, Atlas, reached out as well. With his help, there won't be any

problems.

"Grace"

"Penny, | know you want to prove that you can do things on your own. However, if your brothers. want to help -

or if any of those who care for you are willing to help don't refuse it." Grace sighed faintly. "It's not something

you'll have to return. Penny remained quiet for a second and didn't argue. If any

her eyes sharpened a little.

"Speaking of my brother Atlas, have you checked the documents | sent you about Global PrGroup?"

"Yes. Grace nodded. "The merger isn't a bad idea, and your brother is willing.

"I want those documents protected, Penny said. "With PrGroup and Global PrLogistics.

any shakedowns can happen. | don't want to end up in prison - or any of my family ending in prison."

Grace laughed, thinking Penny was joking. But when she noticed Penny's expression, the creases on Grace's face

faded.

"Don't worry about it," Grace reassured. "I'll stop any shakedowns your company faces, even if | have to lay my

life on the line."

"That's too much, Grace. | won't make you lay your life on the line at all. All I'm saying is, | don't want to take any

risks. Shakedowns are fine, but people are creative."

Grace smiled, still in awe of how terrifyingly sharp Penny had become. Not that Penny wasn't sharp before, but

looking at her and listening to how Penny talked about matters important to her, even Grace - who was already

amazing in her field - couldn't help but be in

awe.

"If you don't want to take any chances, then you should divorce your husband, Grace suggested knowingly. "I

mean, I'm not saying divorcing him is the best, because this marriage could still be beneficial. After all, that man

is still Zoren Pierson. But at the stime, Yugi toldabout their internal affairs- it's bad."

"I know."

"Have you met him?" Curiosity brimmed in Grace's eyes. "Did he agree to a divorce?"

"Yes" Penny nodded calmly, but her nonchalance piqued Grace's intrigue. "And he also doesn't want any of my

properties. We agreed we wouldn't take any of each other's properties." "What does he like?"

"Hmm?" Penny furrowed her brows. "That question is strange. Shouldn't you be tellingabout his lawyer's

drafts? Or informingof all the legal issues?" Grace grinned. "I know you know what to do and say, but I'm

curious why you look like that."

"Look like what?"

"I don't know." Grace shrugged. "It's just strange because this is not the reaction | expected. Is he as handsome

as he is in the photo on the marriage license?" Penny pursed her lips and glanced at the waiter who cto

serve them food. Both women smiled at him before they turned back to each other.

"So?" Grace wiggled her brows. "What do you think of him?"

Penny pondered for a moment, recalling a memory from last night at the Old Residence. "He's....

a little cunning," she said before the corner of her lips curled up. "He's my type."
