At this, she couldn’t help but ask, I came here during my lunch break. And you’re asking me to wait for him?” 

The receptionist seemed a bit embarrassed. I’m sorry, Ms. Lombard. Mr. Thatcher hates waiting, so it’s always his clients who wait for him.” 

Phalicia said nothing, feeling a bit displeased

She was told that Horacio was the star herehe had never lost a case

Given this, she decided to suppress her anger and wait for him

She entered the room without making any further complaint

Then she sat down and happened to face the countdown timer on the 

wall

Time passed by as she sipped her coffee

Half an hour passed, and she had finished half of her coffee

Just then, she heard a sound from the door

The timer dinged

She felt a wave of speechlessness

He was punctual indeed

Looking at the doorknob turn, she stood up, ready to jab

In the next second, the door was opened

She was stunned. You?” 

He had a tall frame as well as dark, thick hair, and his deepset eyes radiated danger

She forced a smile. We meet again.” 

Have I seen you before?Horacio paused for a bit, as if he had no recollection of Phalicia at all. He walked inside, not forgetting to close the door behind him

Then he walked over and extended his right hand

Hello. I’m Horacio Thatcher from Triumph Law Firm.” 

Phalicia shook his hand and said calmly, Nice to meet you. I’m Phalicia Lombard.” 

Horacio’s hand was much bigger than hers, completely enveloping her fingers. He let go after a second

Take a seat, Ms. Lombard.” 

He flipped through the document the receptionist had given him

Clientsgeneral requests would be delivered to him in written form before meetings

You wanna reopen the criminal case from three years ago?” 

Phalicia could already tell what Horacio was like within seconds

He always kept it short and didn’t stir up trouble

It was a good thing for her because she didn’t have to waste time on dealing with what had happened that day

She adjusted her mood quickly and said, That’s right. My brother stood up for me three years ago and accidentally injured a man, leaving the man infertile. My brother was then sentenced to eight years in prison.” 

After a pause, she continued, But recently, I’ve been getting this strong feelingThere’s more to what happened back then

Horacio listened to her quietly and then put the document on the desk

It caused a soft thud

The sound wasn’t particularly loud, but it made her wonder what he was thinking

She glanced at him. Mr. Thatcher, are you gonna take the case or not? You can name your price.” 

He said, I’ll have to think about it.” 

Hearing this, she was stunned, figuring she had misheard. I’m offering you double the usual pay.” 

He stared at her, his eyes unfathomable. It’s not just a criminal case. There’s something more to it, which may easily drag me into hot water. It is why you’re willing to pay double, right?” 

She squinted slightly

He was the top lawyer indeed, figuring out the hidden risk within 

minutes

In fact, he wasn’t wrong

Back then, the downfall of the oncegreat Lombard family had involved a lot of illegal dealings, including tax evasion, bribery, illegal projects, and 

so on

During the investigation, even the courts had been shorthanded and had to summon lawyers from law firms to help

Those top law firms had all been fighting for participation in this case because it meant fame and reputation
