Jude replied coolly, “Well, if you’ve already guessed it, Mr. Miller, why are you still asking?”

Alex nearly cursed out loud.

So he knew. This whole time, he knew–and kept it from me.

In that moment, everything clicked.

The Graves Group’s sudden generosity… the favorable

treatment…

It had all been because of Kaia.

A chill ran down Alex’s spine as the weight of it sank in.

And then another thought hit him–hard.

If I’d actually handed that partner spot to Ophelia, I’d be dead. So dead.

But along with the shock came something else—a warm rush in his chest, like he’d just hit the jackpot without buying a ticket.

Kaia wasn’t just sharp in court. She was connected.

With her around, the firm’s reputation could soar to a whole new level.

During her Thursday court session, Kaia unexpectedly ran into Gilbert–it had been a long time since they’d last seen each other.

She offered a polite nod and a small smile. “Hello, Mr. Marsh.”

Gilbert returned the gesture, calm and easy. “Well, what a coincidence, Ms. Domont. You’re in court here today too?”

“Yeah,” Kaia replied, keeping her tone light and cordial. “It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

“I heard you recently took on a legal aid case?” Gilbert said with a friendly grin. “Mr. Wayne mentioned it the other day. Said you were sharp–did an excellent job.”

Kaia’s smile faltered, just slightly. A flicker of shadow crossed her eyes.

“Let’s not talk about that,” she said quietly.

Gilbert immediately realized he’d hit a nerve. He had meant it as encouragement, but it had clearly backfired.

He let out a small sigh.

“Sounds like that case’s been weighing on you. But that’s normal
