When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 375

When Mr. Alfred made his announcement, the room went as silent as a graveyard at midnight.

Evelina was struck dumb, like a hen that had just had its neck wrung, her face turning a shade of red that would make a lobster envious. What?

The renowned lawyer, Mr. Alfred, was actually representing Lemira?

Had she misheard?

Evelina, with a face swollen like she'd gone a few rounds with a professional boxer, turned to Dorian, her eyes full of disbelief: "Didn't you say no one would dare take on the Maple Group's case?" And not just anyone had taken it, but a lawyer as famed as Mr. Alfred!

Dorian was even more stunned: "Mr. Alfred, did I hear that right? Haven't you stopped taking on minor cases a long time ago?"

Mr. Alfred's calm response was an acknowledgement: "I'm representing someone."

This was a confirmation that he was indeed Lemira's attorney.

Evelina couldn't accept it: "Impossible. Lemira doesn't know anyone influential in Orvin, how could she possibly afford Mr. Alfred?"

She turned to Asher: "Asher, say something."

Asher, nursing a bruised arm, glared coldly at Lemira: "Yes, Mr. Alfred is her attorney."
