Walter's eyes sank when he heard that. He took out a hundred dollars and placed it on the table. "Ms. Clayton, I've understood the situation for now. If there's anything else I need to know, I'll contact you. I'll settle the bill."

After that, he rose to his feet and walked out of the milk tea shop with a dark and gloomy expression on his face.

"Wait, your change." The owner of the milk tea shop immediately called out to him when he saw the hundred dollars on the table.

Walter did not reply and left without looking back.

The owner turned to look at Lisa. Their small milk tea shop did not usually face this kind of situation. He suggested, "How about you keep it?”

Lisa shook her head. She was going through tough times, but she did not want to take advantage of anyone. "Keep the tip given by Mr. Long," replied Lisa.

The milk tea shop owner looked at the hundred dollars. It was not like he was short of money, but a tip...

His shop was not a high-end restaurant. Therefore, he said, "I noticed that the look on Mr. Long's face didn't look too good."

Lisa wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face when her emotions were running high just now.

She had shed so many tears over the years.

Finally, this day had come.

When the police recommended Walter to her, she looked into his background on the internet.

She knew about the cases Walter had handled before, and she believed that Walter could help seek justice for her daughter and husband.

"It must be because of that lawyer who's representing the foreigner," guessed Lisa. After leaving the milk tea shop, she walked straight toward her home.

She had even taken leave from the factory to meet Walter. Fortunately, her superiors were understanding and sympathetic to her situation. Hence, they did not say much about her request for leave.
