    <b>Chapter </b><b>725 </b>


    <b>Luther </b>immediately <b>tapped </b><b>the </b>ss <b>of </b>water in front of him against the table, creating a sharp sound. Vi’s words got <b>stuck </b><b>in </b><b>her </b>throat as Luther gave her a warning nce. “What <b>are </b>you bbering about?” His tone was <b>noticeably </b>displeased,


    <b>Luther’s </b>reputation preceded him<b>, </b>but he was never one to take on urgent cases. <b>If </b>it were <b>not </b>for <b>Matthew </b>making the request, he would never have agreed. Moreover<b>, </b><b>he </b>looked down on such small


    <b>cases</b><b>. </b>


    He directed <b>his </b>gaze to Mnie again<b>, </b>but this time<b>, </b><b>it </b>was no <b>longer </b>calm. There was a hint <b>of </b>impatience now as he said<b>, </b>“Miss Smith<b>, </b>I advise you <b>to </b>consider this carefully so <b>as </b><b>to </b><b>not </b>end up with regrets<b>.</b>”


    Mnie’s expression gradually turned cold as she stared at Luther. “Mr. Laing<b>, </b>your methods of intimidation are formidable. I hope <b>you </b><b>can </b>maintain the same demeanor in court,” she said evenly.


    “As for the settlement, I suppose you’re also <b>the </b>one <b>who </b>prepared the one in Oskon City<b>, </b>yes? I threw that one <b>in </b>the trash, and I’ll do the same with this one<b>.</b><b>” </b>With that, Mnie stood up, grabbed the <b>folder</b>, <b>and </b>tossed it into the nearby trash can. Then, she left the café.


    Did he expect her to agree to a settlement? How ridiculous! However<b>, </b>Mnie also knew that thiswsuit would be a battle of the wits. This person Vi mentioned that not even someone like Eugene


    dared touch…


    Mnie’s eyes darkened, and her lips were pressed together tightly as she returned to the vi.


    The next morning, Mnie went to Navair Law Firm as agreed to discuss the case with Zara.


    When Mnie arrived, Seraphine happened to be outside. When Seraphine saw <b>her</b><b>, </b>she smiled and


    said, <b>“</b>You’re here. Miss Henson said you should go straight in when youe. It’s the same office as


    yesterday.<b>” </b>


    Without much thought, Mnie went straight over and knocked on the door. When she heard a voice telling her to enter, she opened the door and went<b>. </b><b>It </b>was then that she realized there was someone


    else inside.


    At the sound <b>of </b>the door opening, the person looked up, and Mnie instantly met a pair of deep eyes.


    She hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to enter or not.


    Clocking in on the situation, Zara pushed her sses up and greeted her, <b>“</b>Miss Smith, please wait a


    moment. Mr. Scott and I <b>are </b>just finishing up the final details<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    “In that case<b>, </b><b>I’ll </b>wait outside<b>.</b>”


    Zara replied, “That’s alright. No need to waste time. I have two more cases <b>to </b>organizeter<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Mnie blinked and nced briefly at Eugene before entering. Doubts had begun <b>to </b>form in <b>her </b>mind, but she did not think it was appropriate <b>to </b>voice them now. She <b>just </b>quietly observed him.

    Eugene listened to <b>Zara’s </b>exnation intently<b>. </b>There was a faint <b>blue </b><b>tinge </b>under his eyes, indicating he had <b>not </b><b>rested </b><b>well</b><b>. </b><b>With </b>her <b>thoughts </b>weighing on her mind, <b>Mnie </b>settled down <b>beside </b>him.


    It was <b>not </b>until Zara <b>called </b>her name <b>that </b><b>she </b><b>snapped </b>back to attention<b>. </b><b>Zara’s </b>expression was stern. <b>as </b>she addressed Mnie<b>, </b>“Miss <b>Smith</b>, I understand your current state of mind, but I <b>hope </b><b>you </b><b>can </b>answer my <b>questions </b>truthfully<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Mnie <b>nodded</b>. <b>“</b><b>I </b>will.”


    She looked at Zara directly and said<b>, </b>“Miss Henson, <bst </b><b>night</b>, Luther Laing <b>approached </b>me <b>and </b>hoped that I would ept a settlement agreement. I refused<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Zara was not surprised to hear that. “He always <b>uses </b>such <b>tactics</b><b>,</b><b>” </b>she <b>said </b>simply.


    Mnie paused, shifting her gaze toward Eugene before continuing, “<b>But </b>Vi told me the person supporting her is someone even Eugene <b>doesn’t </b>dare <b>to </b><b>touch</b>.”
