Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0153

The outcome of the trial was clear. I was grateful for my client's

trust and for the judge's willingness to consider the persective of a young lawyer like me during the ruling.

Cindy's post went out simultaneously, saying, "Grateful for the encounter, but now we part ways."

The public needed time to digest the news, and so did Cindy. She held my hand, her body trembling nonstop. All I could do was offer her a comforting embrace rather than intrude on her emotions.

I guessed that, in her heart, she was going through a grand farewell to Zachary, to their love, and to the small amount of life she had left.

After she left, I received the final payment in my bank account-a staggering 35 million dollars. Combined with the deposit she had paid earlier, it totaled 50 million dollars.

True to her word, she ensured I was more than satisfied with the payment. It wasn't until later that I found out this case was a personal referral from Silas, so Jay Caldwell & Co. didn't take any commission. This was the first time I earned such a large sum purely through my own efforts, and I felt the need to share my joy with someone. But no matter where I looked, I couldn't find any trace of Nicholas. The joy I felt earlier now seemed like an absurd joke. After laughing heartily, the world returned to a dead, silent calm, leaving me with nothing but endless disappointment.
