Chapter 206

Being a lawyer can be a risky gig, and it's not unheard of for clients to hold grudges and plot revenge. Just

recently, Attorney Brody ended up in the hospital, nearly losing his life after being attacked by a client.

Blake was down on his knees, begging, "Please, spare me, ma'am. | messed up, | promise | won't do it again."

Allison frowned, "Was it you who had someone try to shoveoff the road earlier?"

"What road? What person?" Blake looked puzzled. "I didn't send anyone. This is literally the first tI've seen

you."

So, it wasn't him? Then who?

Allison furrowed her brow, deep in thought. Could it have been Kate?

She quickly dismissed that idea. Kate might be manipulative and not exactly her best friend, but she didn't seem

the type to go that far.

So, who could it be?

After a moment, a npopped into her mind-Chris. Joshua had warned her about Chris’ ties to the Fisher family

and mentioned he might cause trouble to get back at Joshua.

With this in mind, Allison glanced at the bruised and battered man in front of her. "Are you working for Chris?"

The man shook his head, "I don't know him, ma'am. Please, letgo. | promise | won't do it again. I'll

compensate London as soon as | get htoday. Just letgo!"

Allison asked coldly, "If you're not working for Chris, why did you callout here with so many thugs? A small-

tfactory owner like you wouldn't dare act so boldly unless someone else was pulling the strings. Tell me

who's behind you, and | might let you go."

Blake shivered. His boss had connections on both sides of the law, and everyone in the underworld gotta show

him respect. The factory was his boss's, and Blake was just a scapegoat, with no real power.

Too scared to betray his boss, Blake thought of the ruthless methods his boss employed and broke out in a cold

sweat. Swallowing hard, he replied, "I...I don't have anyone backing me. | just thought you were a young girl and

wanted to scare you a bit."

Allison squinted at Blake, trying to gauge the truth in his words.

Blake felt uneasy under her gaze, worried she'd have her bodyguards rough him

up again. "Ma'am, I'm begging you, I'll do anything. Just letgo!"

Allison gave a half-smile, "I don't buy that a small factory owner would have the guts to hire thugs to jump an

opposing lawyer in broad daylight. Since you won't spill the beans, I'll just have to call the cops."

Blake sighed in relief. He wasn't afraid of the police; his boss had connections there too.

In the Fisher Corporation's CEO office, Joshua received a call from the bodyguard, and his face turned grim. In

just one day, Allie had faced danger twice and almost got hurt.

Fear gripped Joshua's heart. He hung up the phone, grabbed his coat, and headed out.

John hurried after him, "Sir, where are you going? There's a meeting in ten minutes! Sir?"

At Windswept House, the housekeeper Shannon had laid out a spread of Allison's favorite dishes. Shannon

smiled warmly, "Allie, tough day at work, huh? Cand eat."

Allison picked up her fork but didn't have much of an appetite. Her mind was still stuck on the terrifying moment

on the road earlier. It was the first tshe'd been so close to death. She almost didn't make it to see another

day.

As she was lost in her thoughts, Joshua returned home. "Allie, are you alright?" he asked, his face full of concern

as he rushed over, placing his hands gently on he shoulders, looking her over carefully.

Allison snapped back to reality, "Joshua, you know already?"

Joshua nodded, pulling her into a tight embrace. He had almost lost her.
