Even if the accident had been his fault - which she didn't believe - she'd still try her best to make up for it . She couldn't turn her back on him . " If you ever need help , let me know . " When the elevator doors opened , Chase held out an arm to keep them open and gestured for her to go first . She stepped out , adjusted her clothes , then took off his jacket to hand it back . " Thanks , Chase . " Her wrist , bright red with finger - shaped bruises , stood out starkly against her skin where the victim's brother had grabbed her . Chase glanced at it , his expression unreadable , and took the jacket without comment . " Take care on the way back ." After saying goodbye , Lily headed for the parking lot . She was driving one of the Ginger family's backup cars . Since Wayne was still in the hospital , she figured she might as well use it for now . Night had fallen . A sleek Maybach pulled up in front of the villa . Jared stepped out , jacket draped over his arm , loosening his tie as he entered . The house was pitch black . His hand paused on the doorknob for a moment . He'd been so busy lately that he hadn't been home in days . Last time he was here was that night Lily had caused a scene . Usually , the lights would be on - no matter how late - and she'd greet him at the door with a smile , asking about his day . Now , the darkness unsettled him .

" Rodrick says it's a tough one . He's only about thirty percent confident . " " What about you ? How confident would you be ? " Jared lit a cigarette , the glow flickering as it caught his jawline in flashes . Randall chuckled . " I was actually kind of interested in that case . Thought it'd be a challenge . But then you handed me Ms. Lynn's instead and - well , thanks . That saved me from ruining my undefeated streak ." He hadn't lost a case in years . He'd been looking for something tougher , something to push him - but now , seeing how tangled the Ginger family's situation really was , he was glad Jared had forced the switch . Losing would've not only cost him his record , it might have dragged the Ginger family down with him . Jared gave a low laugh . " I'm hanging up ."
