Ivy Kensington said, "It’s okay, losing isn’t embarrassing. After all, you’re a new lawyer. But if you win, you’ll become famous in the legal community. And regardless of the result, I won’t shortchange you on legal fees."
The last sentence made Zhang’s heart flutter. Alright, as long as there’s legal fees, it’s all good.
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang, and I’m a new lawyer from Ashton Law Firm."
Zhang warmly greeted everyone.
Nina Shaw looked at Ivy Kensington with a peculiar expression.
Oh my god, is she out of her mind?
Allowing a newcomer to face Miles Pierce in court—does she underestimate herself, or Miles Pierce?
Nina couldn’t help but say, "Ivy Kensington, if you really can’t hire a good lawyer, I could help you."
After speaking, she cast a disdainful glance at Zhang and Ivy, her eyes full of contempt.
Miles Pierce remained calm, saying that although Zhang was new, he couldn’t be underestimated.
"Hello, I’m Miles Pierce."
Zhang excitedly grasped his hand. This was Miles Pierce himself! He had made it!
Sebastian Blackwood looked on indifferently, for the first time unable to understand Ivy Kensington’s intentions.
Is she aware she’ll lose and so isn’t even trying?
Sebastian furrowed his brows and said, "Ivy Kensington, if you just admit to this now, there’s still a chance."
But Ivy didn’t even glance at him, instead entering the courtroom with Zhang and Austin Ford.
She was completely disappointed in Sebastian Blackwood and didn’t want to talk to him!
The look of rejection on her face darkened Sebastian’s handsome features.
Damn it, does she even resent him for meddling?
Owen Rhodes, standing to the side, said, "Master Blackwood, actually I think Miss Kensington might truly not have instructed Austin Ford to do this."
Ivy Kensington’s personality is different from Nina Shaw’s; she’d never engage in such foul actions behind the scenes.
Owen Rhodes, after all, trusted Ivy Kensington.
Sebastian Blackwood coldly glanced at him, "You think I’m wrong?"
Owen muttered in his heart, though he didn’t dare say it out loud. Master Blackwood was always too successful, never having failed in anything. Perhaps this time, a setback with Miss Kensington would be good.
"Brother Sebastian..."
Nina Shaw watched Owen and Sebastian Blackwood whispering, quickly clutching Sebastian’s arm. That troublemaker Owen was surely badmouthing her!
She glared at Owen, weakly saying, "Brother Sebastian, could you carry me inside? My injuries hurt so much; every step feels like I’m being cut by knives..."
What Nina said didn’t seem like a lie. Given how she looked now, she resembled a mess. If not for the makeup on her face, she’d surely frighten people going out.
Sebastian lowered his eyes and ended up not carrying her, instead supporting her as they walked in.
Even so, once they entered the courtroom, the livestream went wild.
The matter had stirred significant public interest, so there was a live broadcast of the trial.
"Ahhh, Master Blackwood is indeed more compatible with Nina Shaw!"
"Poor Nina Shaw, her face is covered with injuries, and hardly any part of her body is okay. It’s all because of that heartless woman Ivy Kensington!"
"Today, the law will surely bring Ivy Kensington to justice! And Austin Ford beside her, the two seem like the same breed. They might even be romantically involved, disgusting!"
"Here’s a ridiculous thing, Ivy Kensington actually hired a completely unknown lawyer, probably out of guilt, knowing she would lose, so she deliberately got a cheap one! Hahaha..."
For a moment, the entire livestream was filled with ’haha,’ everyone firmly believing Ivy Kensington would lose this case.
