“How could it be? You’ve known me for ten years, Sarah. I, Rachel Evans, have always despised lawbreakers. The news is fake. But Jason signed the confession in my name, even claimed I was mentally ill. I can’t even appeal now… my only option is through him.”
“It sounds complicated. Forget it, let’s meet in person.”
Because of the online harassment, I couldn’t appear in public. Whenever I did, I was immediately surrounded by insults.
When I arrived at Sarah’s place, she was furious. Everything breakable on her table had already been smashed.
“Has Jason lost his mind? Five years ago, he was swearing eternal devotion, and now he’s turned his back on you like this?”
“And Chloe—what is she anyway? A mistress inserting herself into someone else’s marriage, and she actually thinks she’s worth something?”
“You’re a lawyer. How can you tolerate this humiliation? Just tell me what to do—I’ll always stand on your side!”
Her words warmed me. I reached out to pat her back in comfort.
“Yes, I’m a lawyer. But the Evans Law Firm has already been forced to close by Jason. I can’t fight against the Miller family’s power. There’s only one person I can turn to.”
