    did not want to discuss those upsetting matters with Pete anymore and just wanted to get home quickly. But Pete was triggered when he heard police station


    Without any hesitation, he blurted out. "You contacted Neal?"


    Although the tall young man standing in front of me was still Pete, he suddenly seemed disheveled and dejected for some reason. His face darkened in the dim light as if he was about to fade away. Seeing Pete in such a state made me feel bad. "There''s nothing between Neal and me. He''s just my friend."


    "Ariana!" He sounded like he was suppressing his voice. "You don''t understand what I care about! What I care about is when I will ever be the first person you think of when you''re in trouble!" His words echoed in the empty hallway, filled with despair.


    I remained silent. I did not say anything to stop him even as his figure disappeared into the closing elevator. Perhaps keeping my distance from him was best for both of us


    But surprises would alwayse when one least expected them. Within half an hour, photos of Pete hugging me were posted online.


    The headlines of "Lawyer''s Chaotic Private Life-Not Illegal but Still Immoral quickly started trending on the inte. Pete was quickly identified byizens because of his distinctive hairstyle. But the Shelman family would certainly not allow any negative news


    about Pete to be spread. The trending topic was taken down quick, but theizens couldn''t forget about it so quickly. Someone called out to Nichs

    Netizens were very interested in the lives of the wealthy, so they were all specting. Yesmine called tofort me, but I said I did not care. I just wanted to focus on my career.


    Rumors would always pass anyway. She assigned me a divorce case, and I spent two days at home reviewing the materials.


    During these two days, apart from the fact that the online gossip about udia was getting more and more intense, Nichs did not react. Neal also said udia had not made any strange moves in detention.


    That was great. If not, I would have to divide my attention to deal with her.


    On the third day, my client asked to meet me. He was a manager at a big corporation. He was usually very busy with work and often had to work overtimete into the night, but he managed to squeeze out two hours to meet me at a cafe near thepany. Pressed for time, he startedining as soon as he saw me without even bothering with pleasantries.


    "I''m too busy with work, and my wife isn''t understanding with me at all. Aren''t I working hard to support the family? Now, I can''t

    "Ms. Jones, please help me out. Look, I''m going bald from all this stress. What woman would want me?"


    I looked up at his receding hairline. Indeed, people working at bigpanies had it tough. Before I could speak, a woman suddenly burst in


    She grabbed what little hair my client had left while hitting and cursing at him!


    "You bastard! I''ve caught you red-handed! You''re busy having coffee with women, huh?"


    The situation became weird. Other people in the cafe started looking our way as they whispered among themselves.
