Chapter 7

Just then, someone suddenly entered the room.

Recognizing who it was, James instantly moved to shield Rebecca behind him, failing to notice the flash of panic in her eyes as she saw the newcomer.

The person who had come in was none other than the plaintiff in the lawsuit against James.

He was a very successful lawyer in the city, highly influential and well-respected in the legal community.

That was why his lawsuit had the power to affect James’s promotion.

James’s expression soured, but he restrained himself. “What do you want?”

The man’s gaze swept past him without a second glance. He walked over to me and offered a bouquet of flowers.

“Miss Emma, I am so incredibly sorry. I just heard what happened to you and rushed over immediately.”

His eyes filled with remorse. “I’ve already looked into it. There was a misunderstanding, yet you still searched all night for my missing daughter in a blizzard, nearly losing your own life. You are my family’s savior.”
