Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Cleo frowned . After thinking for a while , she still felt it wasn't right . " Anyway , I think go abroad , pack up and leave ASAP . I'll help . looking for the kid's dad is a bad move . If you want a divorce and to " Anyway , I haven't used up my annual leave yet , so I can come with you guys for a while , help you transition through this period ." But to Cleo's shock , Maxine shook her head , her expression firm . " I'm staying , to clear my client's name . " Cleo's eyes widened instantly at her words . " Wait , who do you think you are ?! " She was always blunt , even with Maxine , her longtime friend . " Maxine , are you crazy ? Do you know how powerful the Jenson Construction Group is ? They're a conglomerate ! You're basically picking a fight with the crown prince of a conglomerate . Do you have a death wish ? " " An old saying goes , ' Even the prince is equal before the law . ' Justice will prevail ! " Cleo almost laughed in anger . " Maxine , I knew you were stubborn , but I didn't know you were this stubborn ! Let me tell you , I just found out that the Jenson Construction Group has been publicly offering shares for a while now . " In three to five months at most , they'll be listed on the stock market . Once listed , Gabriel's dad will be the chairman of the group , and barring any accidents , Gabriel will be the CEO . " Do you really think the Jenson family will allow you to cause such a huge scandal at this crucial moment ? " Maxine's eyes flickered , and she murmured , " Going public … that could be an opportunity . " Cleo was left helpless , urging , " I'm telling you this to make you give up !

" Leaving the club , Maxine headed straight to her law firm . She had already submitted her resignation to Patrick the night she lost the case . Patrick had read it but never replied , instead contacting her a few times on WhatsApp . The gist was urging her to come back and it wasn't worth it over " such a small matter . " Maxine didn't reply to any of them . Not because she was rude , but because she felt some things were better said in person . Maxine's reappearance at the law firm naturally caught everyone's attention . Everyone was looking at her , but no one dared to approach her . Except for Kathleen , who mocked , " Yo ? Here comes Maxine ? " She forced a smile , crossed her arms , and looked at Maxine sideways . " Here to pack your stuff ? " Maxine looked coldly at Kathleen and asked , " Kathleen , where's the evidence from Ivanna's case ? Hand it over . " Kathleen was caught off guard by Maxine's question , a hint of unease flashing across her eyes . She averted her gaze and humphed . " That case has been closed for days . I've destroyed the evidence ! " Maxine widened her eyes , holding back the urge to slap Kathleen and questioning coldly , " Who told you to destroy it ? Are you even a lawyer ? The firm always archives case evidence ! Is this your first day on the job ? " 21/0 09:08 Wed 18 Jun Chapter 21 " What are you yelling about ? " Kathleen immediately got annoyed . " Ivanna's case is closed . What's the big deal if I destroyed it ? Besides , she faleoty accused Gabriel Jenson . Destroying that fake evidence is doing her good!
