Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1503: Good work, Nathan.

"Cassandra, do not worry," said the lawyer across from her. "You won't be in here for long."

"For long?" Cassandra repeated. "What does that mean? Am I supposed to stay here tonight?"

"They will have 36 hours to detain you here, but after that, you'll be walking out," the lawyer reassured. "Even if they pursue this case, you'll be free on bail throughout the trial."

Cassandra couldn't help but let out a laugh. "Free on bail?"

SLAM!

Cassandra slammed her hand on the desk. "I am innocent. Don't tell me you don't believe that?"

"I do, but we have no choice, Miss Smith," the lawyer sighed heavily, extending

his understanding because he knew this wouldn't be easy for Cassandra. Counting the hours she had been here, his client's frustrations were very understandable.

"Please, just hang on," he encouraged. "Do not talk to them without my presence. Once you're ready, they can ask all the questions they want. Answer the ones you want. If I think one is tricky, I'll intervene."

Cassandra pressed her lips into a thin line. The lawyer before her was not her usual lawyer, but someone she was quite familiar with. After all, this man was one of her grandfather's supporters and had also handled Senator Smith's affairs.

"What... what did my grandfather say?" she asked. There was nothing she could ask about her situation anymore. It would only disappoint her. "Does he believe me, too?"

"Miss Smith, it's your grandfather who sent me in here to handle the case. However, because this news broke before reaching him, he has some matters to tend to."

Cassandra didn't answer, instead staring at the lawyer.

"Do not worry," the lawyer nodded reassuringly. "After these 36 hours from the time of your arrest, you will go home."

Still no answer.
