" Taking a cab is too much trouble ! " Azure grabbed a set of car keys from the entryway and handed them to her . " Every second you delay , your brother suffers another second . Go ! " Taking a cab was indeed inconvenient . Thinking of Henry's situation , Lily ignored the pain and rushed down the steps with the keys . An hour later , outside Mr. Randall's law firm . As soon as Lily got out of the car , she saw a familiar figure standing at the office entrance . Jared had clearly rushed out in a hurry - he wasn't even wearing a coat . His crisp white shirt billowed in the wind , sleeves rolled up to his forearms , veins running down the backs of his hands and disappearing beneath his skin . The tension in his frame was palpable . Next to him , Sarah clung to his arm , her face pale . Across from them stood Mr. Randall himself , the head of the firm - well - known and well- respected in the legal world . He and Jared had been friends for years , but this friend of his was often more trouble than he was worth . " Jared , don't put me in this position . I've already reviewed Ms. Lily's brother's case ." Jared's tone was firm . " You've only reviewed it . The contract hasn't been signed . You need to handle Sarah's case personally ." Randall pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed . " I must've done something terrible in a past life to end up friends with you . " " Jared , let's not give Mr. Randall a hard time . We can get a different lawyer . It's not even that serious of a case . Who knows if it'll even go to court ? " Sarah's voice was sweet and soft , perfectly considerate . " Only he can give us the best odds of winning . " Jared clapped Randall on the shoulder . " Thanks for your help ." That breezy statement was enough to kill whatever resistance Randall had left . Jared turned with Sarah in his arms and started to walk away . Lily stood at the bottom of the steps , looking up at them . She'd heard every word . 18 10:55 Thu , Sep 11 Randall understood immediately . He stepped down the stairs and walked toward her , speaking to Jared as he went . " I'll handle it . " Handle what ? Lily watched Randall approach , and realization dawned . He meant her . She watched Jared lead Sarah to the car . He opened the passenger door and leaned in , probably to fasten her seatbelt . Then he walked back to the driver's seat and pulled away , never once looking her way . " Ms. Lily , I'll assign one of our most experienced attorneys to handle your brother's case , " Randall said , gesturing toward the entrance . Only after Jared's car disappeared from view did Lily look away . She sniffled and turned to Randall . " Mr. Randall , could you take the case personally ? " " You saw it yourself . I already have a case ," Randall replied , holding a contract in his hand . The client was Sarah . Randall hadn't signed it yet . But Jared had spoken - so sign it he would . The contract stated that Sarah was suing a neighbor whose kick had fractured her dog's ribs . It was a rare breed , supposedly very valuable . Valuable enough , it seemed , that in Jared's eyes , it mattered more than Henry's life . He had known Lily was counting on Randall to take the case and still brought Sarah here to assign him a different one . Lily didn't even know how to describe what she felt . Anger , but nowhere to vent it - because she couldn't go against Jared . And the law firm had never said explicitly that Mr. Randall would personally handle Henry's case . A wave of despair welled up in her chest . " Mr. Randall , my brother's case is complicated . You're the only one who can help him . " 2/3 10:55 Thu , Sep 11 Randall sighed . " I've reviewed the details . From a legal standpoint , it does look like the other party staged the accident . But this kind of case is hard to win . It's already been picked up by the media and caused quite a stir . Your brother was driving a luxury car - that's a huge disadvantage for us . But don't worry . I'll assign a senior attorney who has a lot of experience with these types of cases . " All the lawyers at Mr. Randall's firm had solid reputations . Even though Jared had taken Mr. Randall away , without that connection , the Ginger family would have struggled to even schedule a meeting with a top - tier lawyer . Lily was always at a disadvantage . That's what happened when Jared stood at the very top of the social pyramid . He never looked down on people of lower status . In fact , he often did charity work . And yet now , he had thrown his own wife into the fire , left her to drown , and walked without a second glance . But he wouldn't let her die - not entirely . away Lily met the attorney Mr. Randall had assigned . He was the firm's top litigator , last name Wynn , and appeared to be around fifty . Mr. Rodrick Wynn was already working on a case . When Randall approached him , he frowned in surprise . " Didn't you say you'd take this one ? I've already signed the contract . " " Let's switch . I'm not experienced enough for a case this high - profile . It's better if you take it ." Send Gifts a Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
