As the head of the law firm, he had met various people. Astin was a high-priority client, even among Celeta Chance’s clientele. Moreover, compared to Jeremy, the company’s owner, Yuris was much more polite. At least he didn’t pressure them to get straight to the point.eb649ad48a86d2d2

Since he had entrusted this matter to Celeta Chance, Molito would be quite irritated. They certainly wouldn’t want to lose the next case to them as well. Now that he had dropped the hint, they would surely contact him soon with a better offer.3f7ce5cab1bb3701

Molito and Celeta Chance. It was well known among those in the know that the two leading law firms in the industry weren’t on good terms. Since the representatives themselves weren’t on good terms, it was unlikely that the employees would be either.6e3941b5c67ecdb1

He was certain because it was his alma mater, but graduating at the top of Kisello wasn’t something that could be achieved with just average ability. Furthermore, Radia had entered at the top of her department and was the cherished student of the most famous legal scholar in the country.

As Jonathan left, Yuris pressed his fingers against his eyes. He thought it was strange. There was no way that conservative group would have easily accepted her. The report even mentioned that she hadn’t been able to find a job for nearly a year after graduating from university.7f3bdff6bffed350

The funniest thing was that even Molito hadn’t accepted her. Perhaps Niki den Forten would have faced similar consequences if she hadn’t been part of the Forten family.d7d7affa4e29746f

The word “parachute” implied that someone had pulled strings for her to get into the law firm. He might be able to do it now, but he didn’t have that kind of power back then, so this appointment must have been his father’s doing.b65014e2858a5d42

It wasn’t that she didn’t have any insecurities, and it wasn’t always easy to endure, but it was still alright. Radia wasn’t someone who coveted what she didn’t have. Clinging to what she couldn’t have would only make her sick.b7cba0f907847442
