Trouble in Paradise

Chapter 0190

As the woman yanked hard, she pulled out a clump of hair "remember now! You're that slut everyone's been talking about online!

As a married woman yourself, you're not content with seducing other women's husbands, and now you're after mine!"

She grabbed a cup of coffee and poured it all over me. I could not dodge in lime, so my neatly pressed business suit was soiled

But I could only accept my bad luck since he was a client. I put on a professional smile and said goodbye to my client "Please contact me again when it's convenient for you

I ignored the woman's hysterical shouting behind me. But after I got home and cleaned up, I received a message from the man saying he wanted to change lawyers.

Im sorry, Ms. Jones. Your situation might make my wife even more resistant to getting a divorce from me. I'll be requesting for another lawyer from your firm to handle my case. " My hair was still dripping wet, and my hand holding the phone froze.

Thad spent two days at home preparing this man's case.

Why is she still coming here? Doesn't she know how much damage she's done to the firm?"

"Exactly! if not, why would we all be sitting in the office with no cases?"

"But the new boss seems to have a good relationship with her. We can't go on like this. I've started sending out my resume You guys shouldn't just sit around either, you need to plan for your future There was no need for me to listen anymore. It seemed that my situation was not just affecting me, but the entire firm.

My time with Jay Caldwell & Co has come to an end. From now on, I will live life to the fullest and not lose my way wherever I go

Today's farewell is for a better tomorrow"

Yasmine called to scold me, asking why I did not trust her But the facts were right in front of me. It was one thing for me to face setbacks, but if all the lawyers at Jay Caldwell & Co. left because of me, what would Yasmine do?

I could understand people rejecting me, but why were other lawyers also being affected? Why had Nicholas not gone to the detention center to get Claudia out after so many days? He might genuinely want to teach her a lesson, but he was also trying to deal with me.

Just as he said, he did not think I was worthy of negotiating terms with him. He would not hesitate to teach me a lesson with just some small tricks.

"How is it a waste of energy? Ariana, trust me. I'll definitely make

sure you can come back to the firm! Nicholas's secretary has called me these past few days but I didn't answer."Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
