Rhett proposed, “I can introduce you to an outstanding traditional medicine practitioner specializing in stomach ailments if you wish.
”
“That would be excellent.
Thank you, Mr.
Bates.
”
Rhett refrained from further discussion on the matter and redirected the conversation toward the case.
Time elapsed swiftly.
Rhett outlined various strategies, anticipating potential arguments from the opposing counsel and offering corresponding countermeasures.
Nicole deemed them practical, complemented by contingency plans.
The level of detail was impressive.
Their discussion extended beyond two hours.
Upon concluding, Rhett rose and courteously shook Nicole’s hand.
“Miss Lawrence, it has been a pleasure collaborating with you.
I assure you, you won’t be disappointed this time.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
”
“Thank you, Mr.
Bates.
I’m truly grateful.
” His timely aid felt Like a celestial blessing to Nicole.
“No need for formality.
Express your gratitude once this case concludes,” Rhett remarked.
Following their meeting, Rhett coincidentally had an appointment near Nicole’s residence and graciously offered to drive her home.

Due to her pregnancy, Nicole had refrained from driving lately, thus she welcomed the offer of a ride.
As they entered the vehicle, Jarrod, positioned in a nearby car, observed their departure.
Despite their courtroom confrontation, Rhett hadn’t left a lasting impression on Jarrod.
Lawyers, in Jarrod’s view, weren’t deserving of his attention.
Jarrod’s new assistant, however, had thoroughly researched Nicole’s connections and recognized Rhett.
He happened to be acquainted with Rhett.
He informed Jarrod, “Mr.
Schultz, that’s Rhett, a lawyer.
He formerly served with the Dixon Group before relocating overseas.
”
“I see.
” Jarrod displayed minimal reaction.
It appeared Nicole had secured a new attorney.
The previous one had withdrawn under pressure from his assistant.
Regarding the tax investigation on the law firm, that seemed entirely coincidental.
Jarrod wouldn’t stoop so low as to be capable of such tactics.
He trusted his legal team implicitly and saw no threat from other lawyers.
Reminded by his assistant, Rhett’s name gradually resurfaced in Jarrod’s mind.
Rhett had displayed remarkable composure and incisiveness at the court last time.
It was just that time had dulled that recollection.
Jarrod’s brow furrowed slightly as he queried his assistant, “Investigate the relationship between Rhett and Nicole.
” Their interaction had struck a nerve.
“Yes, sir,” the assistant replied promptly.
The following day, Jarrod sat in his office when his assistant relayed that Nicole’s lawyer had requested a meeting.
Jarrod, captivated by the lawyer’s forthright manner, consented.
“Grant him entry,” he instructed.
Rhett entered Jarrod’s office, exuding tranquility and composure, extending a respectful greeting to Jarrod.
His unwavering demeanor garnered admiration.
Jarrod maintained silence, anticipating Rhett’s opening remarks.
“Mr.
Schultz, forgive my interruption.
I wish to address my client’s inquiries with you,” Rhett remarked.
