One of Miles‘ clients had pulled out–cutting the contract early rather than continuing their partnership with Vanguard Law

Firm.

Alex didn’t hold back. “Your apprentice is out of line, Mr. Halston. It was just a legal aid case. What’s she so worked up about?”

Jude kept his tone calm, trying to smooth things over.

Alex narrowed his eyes. “What are you getting at?”

Jude smiled coolly.
