“What? She killed herself?”


    Renee received the call on the way to the court. She was shocked.


    Zack was sitting next to her. Seeing her reaction, he immediately asked, “What’s wrong?”


    “The court said Briarmitted suicide early this morning. Her remains have been sent to the


    crematorium.”


    “That’s impossible!”


    Zack said confidently, “Briar is a suspect in a court case and the case hasn’t reached a verdict yet.


    Even if she really did kill herself, ording to thew, her corpse can only be dealt with after the legal


    investigation period is over. There’s no way the corpse would be cremated this quickly, unless…”


    “Unless someone wants to destroy the corpse to hide evidence or to substitute it with another person!”

    “That’s right!”


    Zack had handled a lot of criminal cases and had encountered all kinds of bizarre situations before. It


    was not the first time he had encountered a situation where the suspect suddenly mitted suicide”


    right before a trial.


    Renee thought hard about it and instantly understood everything.


    “Hah, I knew it! So that’s why Stefan was willing to let Margaret go yesterday. This is what he had


    nned.”


    “Honestly, this kind of trick is some. Instead of looking for a goodwyer to defend her in court, he


    chose to use his power to put himself above thew instead. What a coward!”


    For the first time, Renee was looking down on Stefan.


    She could not believe he would actuallye up with an idea like faking death in order to protect that


    bitch, Briar Desrosiers. He had abandoned all dignity. Renee felt ashamed for him!


    “Don’t be mad, boss. The old boss‘ power and background are simply too strong. From the judge to the


    police, everyone have to show him some respect.”


    Zack shrugged helplessly and said: “However, if you want to continue pressing charges, I can still get


    you the win. Do you still need it?”


    Renee thought for a moment, then shook her head, “No, there’s no need!”


    She had only made such a big deal out of the situation to make Briar suffer.


    Now, Briar had been forced to fake her death to get out of her predicament. From now on, she could


    only use another identity to


    live in disgrace. It was enough payback.


    As long as she behaved herself from now on and stop messing with Renee, Renee would not drive her


    into a dead end.


    After all, they were both mothers. Even if the mother was guilty, the child was innocent. Renee was not


    so ruthless that she


    would let the child suffer too!


    “Understood. You have such a big heart, boss. You’re like Mother Teresa born again. Working for a kind


    boss like you, ourw firm’s employees will surely have an easy life until our retirement!”


    Zack took the chance to lick Renee’s boots.


    Although he hated Renee in the beginning. Renee had made him her underling now. He absolutely


    admired her!


    “In your dreams!”


    Renee red at Zack and said, “You haven’t done any work yet and you’re already thinking of


    retirement? I’m not the H Group. I’m the evil demoness Renee Everheart, and I’m gonna squeeze all


    your value out of you!”


    Zackughed helplessly. “Yeah, I noticed. Boss, you’re even more difficult to deal with than the old


    boss. We might not even help the old boss do things if he paid us money, but we would do things for


    you even if you don’t pay us! That’s charisma!”


    Renee felt like throwing up.


    Zack’s boot–licking was really something else!


    “Anyway, back to business. The matter I discussed with you before, can it be done?”


    Renee asked Zack with a serious expression.


    Zack instantly became serious too. “Boss, you have such a big appetite. A case that involves a


    multinational enterprise like that is usually really tough.”


    “Of course I know it’s tough. That’s why all I asked for in my divorce was the Hunts and Co. Law Firm.


    More precisely, I wanted you three gold–standardwyers.”


    “You said it yourself, THREE gold–standardwyers. John and I might be willing to give it a try for your


    sake, but Sandra hasn’t said anything yet.”


    Zack continued. “I’m good at criminal cases while John is good at administrative cases. As for civil and


    commercial cases… Sandra’s one of the best in the world. But you haven’t even met with her yet. Are


    you sure you can convince her?”


    Renee raised her eyebrows. “Sandra and I are both women. I’m sure she’ll support me.”


    “I wouldn’t be so sure!”


    Zack told her a piece of gossip, “I heard Sandra and the old boss are abnormally close. Sandra has


    helped the H Group settle a lot of business disputes over the years. Now that the Hunts and Co. Law


    Firm has changed hands, she’ll very likely leave thew firm to be the H Group’s legal advisor. If


    that happens… who knows, maybe you’ll end up getting devoured alive by


    the H Group instead!”


    “She won’t do that!”


    Renee dered confidently.


    Zack did not understand why Renee felt so confident, but a confident woman was so charismatic!


    “Actually… I received a text from Sandrast night. She’ll be arriving in Beach City from Calley today.


    Why don’t you meet up


    with her?”


    Renee’s eyes instantly brightened. “Good idea!”
