Chapter 217

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.

One glance was enough to make anyone in the Holmes family feel like trash. But his rare praise? That was what everyone desperately craved.

So all her panic and guilt boiled down to one conclusion: I’m screwed.

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