She promised Robert that she wouldn’t contact anyone from the Lawson family, especially Sean. Soshe didn’t ask for his help. novelbin
Yet, Riley emerged before her.
When Trevor thought about Angeline and Sean’s relationship, he wasn’t surprised Riley would showup.
Trevor looked at Angeline, then turned to Riley and said, “Mr. Gomez, would you please tell Ms.Emmerson that if this matter escalates and her relationship with Mr. Lawson is discovered, it won’tbe good for Mr. Lawson?”
“Mr. Marshall, thank you for your concern for Mr. Lawson.‘
Riley smiled.
“Before Mr. Lawson appointed me.as Ms. Emmerson’s attorney, he made it clear that if this casedoesn’t bring the perpetrators to justice, then I’m finished at Lawson Global! Do you think I wouldgive up that position so easily?”
Trevor didn’t look pleased with Riley’s words.
Riley was second to none in terms of professional standards and eloquence in the industry
“Alright, I understand Ms. Emmerson’s wishes. I’ll pass them on to my clients,” Trevor said with anod before leaving.
“Bye!”
Riley watched Trevor leave before changing his tone and addressing Angeline, “Ms. Emmerson, Mr.Lawson is on his way to Cloudsville. I’m handling this case, so rest assured. They will pay for whatthey’ve done.”
Angeline bit her lip.
She couldn’t bring herself to say she didn’t want to trouble Sean.
She shouldn’t bother him.
But if Trevor was the opposing attorney, Angeline hesitated to risk it. She wouldn’t and couldn’t letthose monsters who had killed Henrietta go free.
“Shall we discuss this case somewhere else?” Riley asked.

Angeline nodded.
“Sure!”
After Angeline changed her clothes, she and Riley went to a cafe opposite Cloudsville College. Shehanded over the proof she had gathered to Riley.
Before coming, Riley had already arranged for his team to collect evidence and organize it forAngeline to review.
After reviewing the evidence, Riley said, “In this case, the maximum sentence if prosecuted is tenyears because they are over 14 years old but under 16. I noticed that one of the children was a fewdays shy of turning 14 at the time of the assault.”
Riley handed Angeline a tissue when he noticed she could not hold back her tears.
She wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and finally said, “Riley, you know about myrelationship with Sean–Mr. Lawson!
“You’re the Chief Legal Officer of Lawson Global, and as Trevor mentioned, it wouldn’t be good toget Mr. Lawson involved. So if you think this case is a guaranteed win, I’d rather hand it over toanother lawyer.”
Riley was surprised by Angeline’s request but responded to her anyway.
“This case is already in the public eye. Since Henrietta couldn’t speak for herself, she was
considered disabled.
“It is bullying and tormenting a disabled person, with undeniable evidence, especially videoevidence recorded by the perpetrators themselves. The judge will undoubtedly impose severepenalties. The only bargaining chip the other side has to mitigate their punishment is the fact thatthey’re minors.”
Angeline then asked, “And what about Tommy?”
“Tommy…”
Riley pursed his lips.
“He’s already out on bail. Based on the evidence Tommy gave to the police and Michael’stestimony, it will be hard to convict him.”
“Even you can’t do anything?” Angeline pressed.
Riley nodded.
