Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 568 Unspoken Bonds

Polly sat in the conference room, looking dejected as she rested her head in her hand, her face etched with worry.

The sound of keyboard keys clicking filled the room. Shirley, focused on her laptop screen, was rapidly typing out the details of the case.

She had a youthful, doll-like face that looked even younger with her slender build, though her complexion was healthy. Her small but delicate features were framed by silver-rimmed glasses perched on her slightly upturned nose, and she wore her short hair in a neat, professional style.

"Ms. Tillery, I've noted everything we discussed. I'll have my assistant contact you once I'm back.

"As for the person spreading rumors online, don't worry-I'll track them down. The technology for IP tracking is really advanced these days. Even if they've deleted their account and gone off the grid, I can still find them."

Shirley lifted her hands off the keyboard and closed her laptop.

She gathered the contract in front of her, along with the laptop, and packed them into her bag.

Polly raised her head, looking at Shirley. "Thank you."

Shirley smiled calmly. "You're welcome.

"I'll head out now. Oh, and by the way, hiring a lawyer isn't something to be ashamed of. Don't feel anxious-I'm here to help you."

With that, she picked up her laptop bag, stood up, nodded slightly to Polly, and prepared to leave.
