Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0115

Seemingly having forgotten that Claudia was still asleep, Nicholas slammed the door shut behind him. However, it didn't matter.

The moment I entered the room, I had already realized that she wasn't even asleep. Her eyes were closed, yet her lashes kept trembling out of anger, or perhaps something else.

I couldn't be bothered to speculate about her feelings. I had been desiring Nicholas for the past five days, and my suppressed desires burst forth like a dam breaking that night. Amidst his increasingly hard thrusts, I eventually lost consciousness.

I had arranged to meet with Cindy on Friday night. She was my client, a renowned actress who had been retired for three

years.

It was already her second appeal when I took over her case, as her first appeal for divorce had failed. At that time, her husband produced a receipt for a tie that my client had bought him, claiming that their relationship was not broken. The divorce did not go through. Now, we had to meet at a hospital for her second appeal.

"Ms. Jones, Mr. Harmon recommended you to me. He said you're as remarkable as he is, but I don't care about your age or experience.

"Just because you are a woman, I believe you can empathize with me more than those experienced men, who only know how to win cases. I trust that as long as you understand me, you will spare no effort to help me win the case." A gentle smile spread across Cindy's face. She certainly ticked all the boxes for a classic beauty, and she had also starred as the female lead in many classic films I watched as a child.

Even at 40 years old, she didn't look old. Her physique remained impeccable, and she carried herself with a refined air.

But due to her frail frame, she was swimming in her loose hospital gown. In fact, she'd also put on some light makeup to conceal her sickliness upon our meeting.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Cindy got straight to the point.
