Chapter: 1087

Once the agreement was signed, the case would officially be theirs!

She had been close to this stage before, with firms initially agreeing but ultimately withdrawing at the last moment.

Thus, Bethany's doubts lingered.

“Absolutely! Miss Holt, could you make it today?"

"Yes! How does an hour from now sound? I'll bring all the necessary documents and evidence to your office."

"Perfect! We'll be expecting you."

After ending the call, Bethany stood frozen in place for a few moments before hurrying back to her apartment.

She needed to sign that agreement immediately. There was no time to waste!

Until the moment West Legal Services' seal was pressed onto the document, Bethany's heart was a clenched fist in her throat.

However, things went surprisingly smoothly. The other party signed without hesitation.

“Do you... not want to think it over a little longer?" Bethany's voice trembled, her unease evident.

"There's no need for that." The manager's eyes danced with amusement as he replied, "Miss Holt, are you doubting our abilities at West Legal Services?"

Bethany waved her hands in a flustered gesture. "No, it's just a bit surprising."

"As lawyers, we shouldn't be too picky about the cases we take on, or we stray from our true purpose! Rest assured, Miss Holt, we'll give this our all."

“Then I'm counting on you, Mr. Olson."

“It's my pleasure!"

Ephraim Olson stood and escorted Bethany to the door with a respectful nod before returning to his office.

The moment he sat down, he grabbed the phone, his voice turning smooth and sycophantic a stark change from his earlier tone with Bethany.

"Mr. Bates, everything has been done exactly as you instructed."

"Okay."

Aimee had no idea where Nikolas had taken her, but it must still be in Odonset given the temperature felt the same.

With so many properties, she couldn't tell which one they had arrived at.

When she woke up, Aimee's immediate reaction was to reach for her phone.

It wasn't there.
