Chapter 192 Jude Became Lucien’s Eyes

Sometimes, Kaia honestly wanted to slap Ophelia across the face.

“Ms. Graham, do you ramble like this in court too? Tossing out nonsense without checking the facts?

“My husband might be older, but he’s still younger than you. Maybe you chose the wrong profession. Ever considered journalism?”

Ophelia’s face went stiff and sour, like she’d just bitten into something rotten.

Kaia walked right past her and into the elevator, leaving Ophelia’s high–pitched voice screeching in the hallway.

“Ms. Domont, I was just speaking the truth! Why are you so triggered?” She even had the audacity to follow Kaia back to the office floor.

Kaia rolled her eyes. “Triggered? Please. If you’re so obsessed with comparisons, why don’t we start with something that actually matters? Like win rates. Case volume. Billings. Which one do you want to lose at first?”

Ophelia was stunned silent. She couldn’t touch Kaia on any of those fronts.

After a beat, she finally managed a half–hearted comeback, weak as paper. “What, a Lexus now makes you high society?”

Vanessa and Warren exchanged a look.

“What’s wrong with her now?”

Kaia shrugged. “Nothing. She just saw someone from my family drop me off and decided it was my husband. Made a few snide comments. Nothing new.”

Vanessa scoffed, “What, a Lexus doesn’t meet her royal standards now?”

Jude arrived just in time to catch that last part. “Who?”

“Ms. Graham, obviously,” Vanessa said. “She’s been trying to dig up dirt on Kaia’s husband for weeks. Now she’s acting smug because she thinks he drives a Lexus.”

Jude’s expression twitched.
