Ashly said shrewdly, "Audrey, we have nothing to say. Lucy is your intern lawyer. She will definitely help you."
Audrey sneered.
"What do you want to do?"
"Write it down, or you may go back on your words!"
Since she wanted to leave here, then she would grant her wish.
"Alright!" Audrey agreed.
Lucy pulled Audrey back worriedly.
"Audrey, this bet can't be made. If at that time..."
Before Lucy could finish, Audrey patted her shoulder and interrupted her, "Don't worry. Nothing will happen. I can't let you be bullied."
Lucy was flattered and looked at Audrey. She was moved and was about to tear.
"Audrey."
"Alright, go get the paper."
"Okay!"
Ashly and Audrey made a betting agreement. Both of them signed their names on it.
Ashly took one of the agreements to Audrey and kept the other.
"Audrey, now we made an agreement. I hope that you won't go back on your words."
Audrey smiled, "I always keep my word."
Ashly smiled shrewdly.
Before coming to Square Law Firm, she had heard that Audrey was very powerful. Now, it seemed that she was just so-so.
Concerned with Deegan, they had already won the first trial of the case, and the lawyer on the second trial was just a fledgling lawyer. There was no need to be frightened. Deegan was certain to win.
Audrey made a bet with her. It was a bite off more than she can chew.
As long as Audrey was chased out of the law firm, Deegan would definitely focus more on her as she was the one who kicked Audrey away.
When she thought of this, she felt even happier.
When the court trial came to an end, Deegan would win the case. And then, she could take the agreement and drive Audrey out of the firm.
...
In court.
Carley had almost given up many times in Deegan's clumsy words. However, when she thought of what Audrey had told her, she stood up bravely and took out solid evidence to overthrow all the evidence in Deegan's hands.
When she faced Deegan, she gradually found the feeling she had in the debate competition and hit the vital point.
She held the evidence and the court had been specifically investigated.
The judge announced, "According to the evidence proposed by the plaintiff, it is confirmed that the defendant is guilty!"
When the judge announced that the defendant had to apologize to the plaintiff and bear the medical fees and mental damage fees, Deegan was stunned.
Unexpectedly, the lawyer actually won.
The lawyer who he had looked down on actually won against him, and she was even a female lawyer who had gone to court for the first time.
Looking at Carley, who was happily thanked by the plaintiff's family, Deegan suddenly remembered the first time he met Audrey.
For some reason, he always felt that Carley was very similar to Audrey in the court.
William angrily rebuked Deegan, "Deegan, what happened to you? Didn't you promise me that you would win the lawsuit?"
Deegan could say nothing.
He also thought that he would definitely win, but he did not expect that such a change would occur.
William was still cursing.
"Back then, you promised me that you would definitely win. That was why I chose you to defend me. In the end, you lost the lawsuit. If it is Audrey to defend me, I would not have lost the lawsuit. I want to complain you!"
Deegan was speechless.
It was over.
He was over, too.
...
Deegan returned to Square Law Firm in a daze.
When he returned to the law office, it was already noon. Most of the people in the law office had gone to eat, and there were only a few people left. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
When he entered, Deegan didn't look to the side. He only lowered his head and walked forward. The intern lawyer and assistant behind him also had dejected expressions.
In order to wait for Deegan, Ashly had been standing beside the front desk.
When she saw Deegan walking over from afar, she happily went up to welcome him.
"Deegan, you are back!" They were finally back.
Deegan didn't even look at her and walked straight past her, preparing to leave.
Seeing that Deegan had left, Ashly quickly stopped the intern lawyer and assistant behind him.
"How is it? How is it? Did Deegan win the lawsuit?" Ashly asked eagerly.
As long as she got a definite answer, she could rush to Audrey and slap the agreement on her face, telling her to scram.
She was so excited. Right now, she only wanted an answer.
The intern lawyer and assistant looked tired. Neither of them paid attention to her and walked around her.
Ashly was surprised.
'What was going on? Why didn't they say anything?'
Ashly suddenly had a bad premonition.
However, she was too excited to think about it carefully.
She could not accept her loss.
Therefore, she was determined to find Deegan and ask.
Seeing Deegan sitting down in his seat, Ashly glanced at Audrey who was sitting behind Deegan and gave her a meaningful smile. She couldn't help but rush to Deegan.
When he saw Ashly stop in front of him like a wooden stake, Deegan frowned.
"What's the matter?"
Ashly glanced at Audrey before asking Deegan, "Deegan, how was the result of your lawsuit? Did you win?"
Deegan was agitated because he lost the lawsuit. Now, Ashly made him even more upset.
"Isn't it working time now? Why are you asking so many questions?"
After being scolded by Deegan, Ashly was so embarrassed.
However, it was related to the result of the bet, so she had to ask clearly.
"Deegan, you have always been my most respected lawyer. You have won your previous lawsuit every time, so you must have won this time, right?" Ashly continued, "Besides, the other party is just a small lawyer who went to court alone for the first time. You are so powerful, and it is even more impossible for you to be defeated by a small lawyer, right?"
Deegan became angrier.
Ashly's words were like a thorn tearing apart his heart.
He was indeed defeated by a little lawyer who went to court alone for the first time, and this was his second humiliation.
And the first person who left him with shame was Audrey.
