Joshua furrowed his brows, lost in thought. "Seems like the powerful mastermind behind them is nothing to scoff

at."

He tapped his fingers absentmindedly on the table's edge. "Did you check in with the Reynolds family?" John

nodded. "I did. Their story hasn't changed. They insist that Mr. Leo Reynolds didn't know Sue was interested in

you. They were claiming it was just a friendly relationship."

Lily, the head of the litigation department, sent out a message in the group chat.

Lily: [Hey team, we're having a departmental dinner tonight. It's totally optional. I'll drop the tand place in

the chat soon.]

Shortly after, Joy messaged Allison privately.

Joy: [Hey Ms. Allison, you going tonight?]

Joy and Allison had becclose ever since Allison saved Joy from a sticky situation. Joy was filled with

admiration and gratitude; she was practically Allison's biggest fan.

Later, Lily assigned Joy to be Allison's assistant, and they becfriends.

Allison replied: [Yeah, why not? Nothing else going on after work.]

Jack had been officially arrested on criminal charges.

Elliott faced Allison's lawsuit for defamation. Once the court took the case, Elliott was too embarrassed to stick

around and quit voluntarily.

The firm had a nice vibe now, and Allison genuinely liked her coworkers, so she was all in for the dinner.

Joy quickly responded:

[Awesome! If you're going, countin!]

They settled on a low-key restaurant for dinner.

After dinner, someone suggested hitting a bar for drinks.

Allison thought about the recent chaos in her life, and realized she needed to unwind, so she was up for it. They

chose a chill bar.

A few colleagues drank, chatted, and shared stories. Allison was in high spirits and joined in with a few drinks.

She was never good with alcohol, and after a few glasses, she was already tipsy.

"Listen up, everyone, I'm Alexander the Great! You should all bow to me!" Allison slurred, her cheeks rosy as she

stumbled a bit.

A few colleagues were equally drunk and passed out on the table.

The others, who could handle their drinks, chuckled and whipped out their phones to record.

Joy was among them.

Joy wasn't into drinking at all; she was just there to keep an eye on Allison.

She didn't expect Allison to get so hammered after just a few drinks.

Joy watched Allison's antics and found them hilarious. She started recording while playfully shouting, "All hail

Alexander the Great!"

Allison giggled, "And lettell you, my husband... he's the best in the world. He's been in love withforever,

you know? Hehehe..."

Joy laughed as she recorded. "Aww, that's adorable."

"I'll let you in on a secret. Don't be fooled by how charming my husband is. Actually, he..."

Another sober colleague grinned and asked, "He what?"

Drunk Allison chuckled, "Don't laugh, but my husband... well, he's got a bit of an issue in that area..."

Over at the bar counter,

a strikingly handsman burst out laughing when he heard Allison's comment about her husband's supposed

issues.

After getting it out of his system, he pulled out his phone and sent a message.

[Heard you've got sissues in that department?]
