Chapter 307

Molly had officially passed her interview at Everbright Law Group and was officially joining the firm as a full-fledged lawyer.

Coincidentally, Jasmine had also resigned from Shelton Law Firm to join Tessa at Everbright, so Tessa had arranged for Jasmine to be Molly's assistant. Both girls had bright and outgoing personalities, so they were able to get along well.

Meanwhile, Tessa had gathered all the necessary evidence and information for the Helio case based on the suggestions that Lester had given her. She had then prepared a statement of claim to officially start the case.

When it was nearly time for her work day to be over, Tessa received a call from the private investigator that she had hired. "Ms. Yates, I have new updates regarding the investigation into Zachary Gomez and Jacqueline Sanders. Are you free to meet up today? I have some things to give you."

"Yes, I can meet up with you," Tessa replied. "I'm nearly finished with work. We can meet at a cafe that is close to my firm."

"Alright."

Tessa sent an address to the investigator. "I'll see you at 6:30 pm at the cafe."

"Understood, Ms. Yates."

Lester knocked on her door just as she ended the call. "Ms. Yates, regarding what Lyanna told you yesterday... I still think that I need to compensate you for what you had to endure."

Tessa arched an eyebrow. "There's no need. I know that she was just joking, so I didn't take her words to heart."

"How about this?" Lester pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "Let me treat you to a meal as my apology for Lyanna's behavior."

Tessa smiled. "There's really no need," she insisted. "You don't need to act so uptight with me."

Lester studied Tessa carefully. He paused for a moment before raising his hand to rub the tip of his nose. "Alright, then."

"Oh, that's right." Tessa grabbed two thick paper envelopes and handed them to Lester. "We received a few new cases today. I'm assigning these two cases to you since they fall within your expertise."

Lester accepted the envelopes with a smile. "New cases already? I see you're working hard to keep your promise, Ms. Yates. I really won't have anything to worry about while working with you."

Tessa shot back with a smile of her own. "Open
