CHAPTER 30 Your Failure

  Albie's POV

  I observed from a distance as Esme approached Elsie, I didn't take it seriously but the longer they spoke the more expression I saw on their faces, especially Esme.

  She looked so animated, spelling out every emotion without an ounce of hesitation. Looking at the the way she spoke, it appears she wasn't satisfied with the result of the trial but if she wasn't, what did Elsie have to do with it?

  I was too distracted by finalizing the close of the case and consulting the various ways in which we could implement the verdict upon Mr Benson.

  "I knew I could count on you." Mr Oliver, my client said in relief.

  Before the case, he confided in me how he wasn't too confident in us winning the case because the opposition was at a far higher advantage of winning.

  He was worried because his opponent beat him to hire Elsie's firm before him. If it was Elsie that they handed over the case to then maybe there would have been a bit of difficulty in winning.
