The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

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."
