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

Alex nearly cursed out loud.

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.

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

“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
