In the end, Chronos Legal–true to Richard’s ruthless style–won by sheer shameless persistence.

Mia, who managed the Horizon Tower X account, was devastated. She didn’t even dare report the failure to Wilson. She had tried her best. But Chronos wasn’t some random netizen–they were professionals at verbal warfare.

She might as well start weaving the apology reed bundle and prepare to kneel at Richard’s feet tomorrow.
