Chapter 0153 The outcof the trial was clear. I was grateful for my client's trust and for the judge's willingness to consider the persective of a young lawyer likeduring the ruling.

Cindy's post went out simultaneously, saying, "Grateful for the encounter, but now we part ways." The public needed tto digest the news, and so did Cindy. She held my hand, her body trembling nonstop. All I could do was offer her a comforting embrace rather than intrude on her emotions.

I guessed that, in her heart, she was going through a grand farewell to Zachary, to their love, and to the small amount of life she had left.

After she left, I received the final payment in my bank account-a staggering 35 million dollars. Combined with the deposit she had paid earlier, it totaled 50 million dollars.

True to her word, she ensured I was more than satisfied with the payment. It wasn't until later that I found out this case was a personal referral from Silas, so Jay Caldwell & Co. didn't take any commission. This was the first tI earned such a large sum purely through my own efforts, and I felt the need to share my joy with someone. But no matter where I looked, I couldn't find any trace of Nicholas. The joy I felt earlier now seemed like an absurd joke. After laughing heartily, the world returned to a dead, silent calm, leavingwith nothing but endless disappointment.

J felt a bit fazed all of a sudden. If not for the solid proof of the extra 50 million dollars in my account, I might have thought it was just all a dream When Alex found me, I was packing up my things and dragging my feet because I didn't know where to go.

I should have gone to see Silas, but he had already left Jay Caldwell & Co. and I didn't know where to find him to explain the Besides, he probably knew the outcfrom the news already.

"Ms. Jones, regarding your shares, Mr. Hawk instructed his men to handle it. I'm not sure what method they used, but the company's. shareholders obediently bought them all at a 35% premium," Alex reported.

I just hummed in response emotionlessly. Money had never been something I valued highly. The joy that money broughtwas far less than the satisfaction of winning a case today.

Besides, I naturally trusted Nicholas' abilities. From the day I handed this matter over to him, I had a pretty good idea of what the outcwould be.

I lowered my voice, not showing much interest, and said, "Have you prepared the things I asked for?" During this time, I'd been dragged through the mud online, pelted with objects, and even hit a couple of times. I endured it all.

Now that the case was finally over, it was tfor certain people to have their fill of schadenfreude. It was my turn to have sfun.

It wasn't difficult to trace the IP address of a certain online ID, nor was it hard to retrieve all of Claudia's records.

She had spread false information aboutonline, and the photos ofwith various men had been clicked on and shared thousands +25 BONUS of times.

She thought she could hide behind a mask and act recklessly, believing she was anonymous.

If that were the case, I would drag her out into the open and show-Zachary's she had manipulated and fans how used them like tools and fools.

With the recording pen in my hand, if Nicholas chose to protect her and she couldn't face legal judgment, she would have to face moral judgment instead. Those who made mistakes had to be punished. Alex's expression turned a little strange. "It's ready, but..." He frowned and scratched his head, as if unsure how to begin. My heart skipped a beat, and I urged him impatiently, "What's the matter? Just tell me!"

He gave a bitter smile and said, "Ms.

Jones, you were rushing back from your honeymoon. I think you should check the intefirst." X
