NovelEnglishChapter 288 Nothing But Liars
Inside the break room, Nathaniel pinched the bridge of his nose and turned toward Ernest. “Where did you get
those photos from?”
Back when he was with Cecilia, he wouldn't allow anyone to casually take pictures of them.
Ernest didn’t bother hiding the truth from him. “Footage from surveillance cameras.”
Ever since he lost that one lawsuit, he never again engaged in battles he wasn’t confident of winning.
Nathaniel was somewhat incredulous. Over this period of time, obtaining so many photos from surveillance
cameras would have been a significant task.
“I'm sorry, Ms. Kennedy, you cannot enter.”
“Fine, | won't enter. Could you please ask Ernest to cout, then? | need to see him.”
The sounds of conversation between Vivian and the bodyguard drifted in from outside.
Ernest stood up. “I'll handle this.”
“Okay.” Nathaniel didn’t stop him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe knew of Ernest’s ambition. Ernest would never forfeit a chance at fand fortune for the sake of a woman.
The divorce proceedings this taround would undoubtedly bring both parties’ lawyers into the public eye.
The crisp sound of a slap echoed down the hallway.
Ernest stood his ground, offering no retaliation.
Vivian's hand was trembling slightly as it slowly descended.
“Have you had enough?” Ernest asked coldly.
Tears welled up in Vivian's eyes. “As Nathaniel’s lawyer, don’t you know what kind of person he is? Do you have
any idea how miserable my friend has-been? Nathaniel was reluctant to lay a hand on Ceci, but his mother,
Elena, was eager for Ceci to becpregnant. She pressured her into consuming bag after bag of traditional
medicine and undergoing various examinations. That still wasn’t enough, though. Ceci was wholeheartedly in
love with him, yet he was always fixated on other women. He even personally ruined the company her father
had single-handedly established... Although Nathaniel has never laid a hand on Cecilia, his actions were far
worse than hitting a woman. They were utterly despicable and shameless!”
Vivian was meticulously listing down Nathaniel’s faults, hoping that Ernest could, like he did in his youth, stand
up for the side of justice.

Ernest interrupted her coldly, “Ms. Kennedy, I'm just a lawyer. I'm not an embodiment of justice. I'm merely
trying to fulfill my duties.”
Vivian's vision was obscured by her tears. “B-But you once said you wanted to beca lawyer for the sake of
those impoverished individuals who couldn’t afford to seek justice!”
Upon hearing this, Ernest let out a cold chuckle. “Aren’t you being a bit too naive, Ms. Kennedy? The words I've
spoken before were merely to deceive naive girls like you. It was all for the sake of getting on the Kennedy
family’s good side. Since your father refused to accept me, there's no point inkeeping up the charade.”
Under Vivian's astonished gaze, he added, “If you want to win, then showwhat you're capable. of. Don’t
think that shedding a few tears will makeyield to you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was probably what it meant to hit someone where it hurts.
Vivian froze on the spot. She couldn't help but wallow in self-mockery.
Just moments ago, she had thought she could bring Ernest back to how he used to be. Little did she know, his
past self was all but a ruse to deceive her.
All these so-called justice-seeking lawyers are nothing but liars!
Vivian's throat was aching. She had always looked up to Ernest as her role model.
Even after they broke up, she still remembered Ernest's dream of becoming a lawyer who stood for justice.
