BuzzNovel“My brother, well, he’s always busy-never bothers himself with these little things. But me? I'm just the idle
younger sister, and | can’t stand to see him treated
unfairly.”
“Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. | handled this poorly, I sincerely apologize.” Attorney Stone didn’t know Alessia
personally, but anyone who could get Calvert to act was not to be underestimated. After all, every case Calvert
took on ended up in
the headlines.
The fact that Calvert would get involved over something so minor spoke volumes
about Alessia’s influence.
Attorney Stone's regret deepened-he’d let a potential star slip away and left himself with a massive liability
instead.
While Attorney Stone wrestled with his own calculations, Alessia spoke in a calm,
measured tone that nonetheless demanded attention. He had no choice but to listen respectfully.
“Simon’s father might be one of your biggest clients right now, but that could change. Sure, the money matters-
but as long as Simon remains at your firm, Libra & Associates has the power to make sure Zenith doesn’t land a
single contract. You're a shrewd man, Attorney Stone. | trust you'll know what to do.”
Alessia’s words left no room for misunderstanding. Ethan had been forced out over money and connections-now
she would use the sweapons to make Simon pay the price.
Fair's fair, isn't it?

“I...” Attorney Stone glanced at Calvert, hoping for sreprieve.
“No need to doubt. Miss Morton has absolute authority at Libra & Associates.”
Attorney Stone knew Calvert wouldn't lie about this. That was precisely what made it all the more shocking. This
young woman-barely out of her teens-held absolute power in a law firm renowned not just here, but
internationally. If anyone else had said it, he’d have dismissed it as a fantasy.
“I understand. After today, Simon will no longer be with our firm. Miss Morton, | apologize for what happened to
your brother.” Attorney Stone would have liked to bring Ethan back, but he knew that door was closed.
When they stepped outside, exactly five minutes had passed.

“All right, Miss Morton. Let’s move on to our second issue.”
They took the elevator down. In the lobby, Ethan sat waiting, calm and composed. His phone chimed-a new
payment notification. Another message arrived: Attorney Stone’s formal apology.
Ethan felt a tangle of emotions. Over the past four years, Attorney Stone had helped him a lot. He hadn't
expected things to end like this.

Calvert's face remained impassive as Ethan spoke about the first point, but he nodded slightly at the second.
“Then the case is yours.”
