Chapter 1597: A fight for justice

"You are... fired," Cassandra stressed each syllable through the telephone. "I don't want to see you here again."

"Miss Cassa-"

Without waiting for her lawyer's response, she slammed the phone down. Her face was still streaked with lingering tears, her eyes swollen from crying. Still, she wanted to keep a brave front, even as her world continued to crumble with every passing second.

"Ki," she whispered. "Let's do it your way."

Unlike her family-her helpless, reliant parents and her selfish grandfather- Cassandra knew she could only trust the one person who genuinely believed in her innocence. Someone who had never sought any benefit from helping her, only friendship.

Grace might do the job well. But at this point, Cassandra had no expectations. She simply knew that Kiara would be with her.

Those were the words that stuck with her - we.

This fight wasn't just Cassandra's. It was Kiara's, too.

"And... we'll keep fighting from here on until the final verdict." She nodded to herself, swallowing all other emotions, holding on to just one reason: Kiara.

"She has a lot of flowers in her office," Kiara commented quietly, watching Hugo as he stood near the display.

Hugo studied the flowers, even taking the liberty of checking the cards attached to them.
