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

Chapter 1585

Chapter 1585: He better have had an erection

At the same time, in Grace's home...

Haines and Grace sat across from each other at a small square table, sharing a light dinner.

"Are you now the official representative of Miss Cassandra Smith?" he asked, breaking the momentary silence.

Grace raised her brows and chewed carefully. After swallowing, she shrugged.

"No, not yet. I need her to fire her current lawyer and hire me," she explained, leaning her arm on the table's edge. "Otherwise, I can't represent her."

"Would she even agree?"

"That depends on whether her friend Kiara managed to convince her. But it won't be easy, for sure. After all, Cassandra knows me." — At least, she knew that Grace was Penny's lawyer.

Haines nodded in understanding. "You seem pretty relaxed about it. I thought you wanted the case."

"Haha. I do want to take it, but I'm not desperate," she replied, fluttering her eyelashes at him with a smile. "If the heavens allow it, I'll pick it up and do my best. Whether it ends up as my first loss or another win, that's for fate, the law, and the jury to decide."

Studying her subtle smile, Haines let out a soft laugh. "You know you'll win."

"No, I won't," she said playfully. "I just know I'm a better lawyer than the one beside the senator. Their side is making a huge mistake using the senator's legal advisor. This isn't even his field."

"But this isn't your field either."

"Really?" she arched a brow. "I know I'm a corporate lawyer, but with Penny as my client, I'm more like a defense lawyer."

He chuckled, nodding. "Penny is quite a handful, I agree."

"She's cute, though," Grace giggled. "Very cute."

"If Wild heard that, you'd be in for a long argument," he quipped. "Sometimes I think he'd make a good lawyer."
