Chapter 31 Reconciliation Failed

Seeing how chummy they were, Allison figured they knew each other.

Thalia turned to Allison, "Ms. Bennett, I didn't expect you to have ties with the Carter family. Small world, huh?"

"Totally a small world!" Liliana beamed. "Allison, Thalia's teacher is the top lawyer for the Carter Group, Francis Vasquez. With her on your side, this case is as good as won!" Feeling more at ease hearing Liliana's words, Allison followed them into the conference room.

Ronan's eyes narrowed when he saw Thalia. "Didn't think she'd get you as her lawyer."

Thalia didn't back down. "What, are you scared?"

"Scared? Of a newbie like you? Get real."

They traded a few more jabs before everyone settled into their seats.

Madeline sat across from them, glaring at Allison and Mia like she wanted to punch them.

Mia, never having been in a situation like this, was a bit jittery, but Allison stayed cool as a cucumber.

Ronan kicked things off. "Allison, I've looked into your dispute with Sophia. Sure, Sophia started it, but the real reason for your fight was you seducing her fiancé. Do you admit to that?" Ronan was sharp, no doubt. He knew how to twist things.

If Allison admitted, he'd argue she was partly to blame, making Sophia's actions seem less severe and reducing her penalty.

Allison met Ronan's gaze calmly. "Mr. Eve, you need evidence for such claims. Got any proof I seduced Sophia's fiancé?"
