Elara wasn't surprised by Natalie's reaction. She admired Natalie's patience for lasting this long. "I see."

Natalie sighed. "Aren't you working at a law firm? Can you introduce me to your firm's best attorney?"

"Have you talked this over with Curtis?" Elara asked, curious.

Natalie nodded. "I have, but he won't agree. He says I'm heartless, that his mom's only acting this way because of her illness. But honestly, I can't take it anymore.

"Even though we're financially stable, it's just the overwhelming negativity, you know? Every time I go home, without doing a single thing, there she is, crying in front of me, saying the most depressing stuff.

"It's like my luck has taken a hit. All I run into these days are bad situations. So, can you find me a good attorney? If it comes down to it, I might just have to file for divorce."

"Alright," Elara agreed.

The next day, Elara went straight to see Hazel at work and told him about Natalie's case. Hazel agreed to take it on, and Elara arranged a meeting between them.

Natalie's situation mattered to her, and it wasn't often she had a chance to get involved in a substantial case. So, without hesitation, she headed straight to Hazel's office,

After knocking and receiving permission to enter, she stepped inside to find Adair standing by.

Dressed in a sharp professional suit with her hair tied back in a high ponytail, Adair glanced at Elara, then turned to Hazel "Well, Hazel, I'll be on my way."

"Go on," Hazel replied. Once Adair had left, he turned his attention to Elara. "What's up?"
