Chapter 591
Ever since Liliana found out that Serenity was delivering food at Clara’s restaurant, she had ordered there a few times on purpose. Of course Serenity knew what her intention was
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the order?” Clara asked from the cash register.
“Nope, nothing’s wrong,” Serenity answered with a faint smile. She grabbed the takeouts, went to her electric scooter, and rode it to the law firm.
When Serenity carried Liliana’s order into the office, Liliana greeted her with a smile and said, “Sorry to trouble you again, Serenity.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. It’s my job,” Serenity replied indifferently as she handed her the food
However, Liliana didn’t take it. Instead, she grabbed Serenity’s hand and led her into the office. She told all her co–workers in the office, “Everyone, this is the person involved in the case I just told you about, our former co–worker, Serenity Lewis.”
Everyone’s eyes instantly turned towards Serenity.
Serenity had an ominous premonition.
Liliana told Serenity with a sincere expression, “It’s like this. Lately, I’ve been tasked with teaching the rookies. As you know, the best way to do that is by studying and discussing controversial old cases. The case that we’re discussing today happened to he your case. Hather than just looking at the court records and description of the case, I thought it would be better to hear it directly from you since you’re the defendant.”
Liliana cordially held Serenity’s hand and said, “Surely you wouldn’t refuse, right, Serenity? In the trial, you insisted that you’re innocent. Maybe we can brainstorm and find clues that will help you reopen the case.”
Serenity’s hands and feet went cold. Every word Liliana said cut open a new wound on her old scars!
Brainstorm? Find clues? Reopen the case?
Absolutely ridiculous!
Liliana never offered to help three years ago when Serenity needed help the most! She shunned Serenity, afraid that she would get dragged into Serenity’s mess
And now, she wanted to reopen Serenity’s old wounds to introduce the case to people who didn’t know about it.
Serenity glared at Liliana. Before this, she thought Liliana was only petty and tried to step on Serenity whenever she could to feed her own ego, but now, Serenity realized that Liliana was more vile than she originally thought.
Serenity cold glare made Liliana gulp, but she managed to suppress the uneasy feeling in her heart and say, “What’s wrong, Serenity? Why are you looking at me like that? I’m just trying to help you because we used to work together. If you really are innocent, I hope you can receive the justice you deserve through the law.” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Liliana, you’re such a b*tch!” Serenity said without mercy as she yanked her hand free. “If you really wanted to help me, why didn’t you help me three years ago when I couldn’t find a lawyer who was willing to take the case?”
“I… I was…”
“Afraid that my case would bring you trouble? Why aren’t you afraid now? Why aren’t you afraid of all these tookies getting into trouble for discussing my case?”
“Serenity, I’m just trying to help you! How could you say that?!” Liliana’s embarrassment turned to anger.
