Zoel, who was a small- time intern, was not qualified to make his own decisions regarding two hundred thousand dollars. Needless to say, this must have come from Serene.

Before we'd gone to court, Serene had been confident. Seeing that Milleon had no connections in the city, she knew that she was likely to lose the case, but she still wanted to take advantage of the situation and force him to suffer in silence.
