Reece remarked with a gentle smile, refilling Carole’s glass of water.

Reece.

“You’re aware?” Reece’s eyes flickered slightly.

“She wants you to represent her and assist in suing those partners, correct?” Carole discerned the situation Lindsey was in, allowing her to deduce this aspect.

Recognizing her accuracy, Reece no longer avoided the topic.

He nodded in affirmation.

“Have you agreed to assist her?” Carole inquired with a hint of eagerness.

Reece reflected on his recent discussion with Lindsey.

Initially, he had intended to agree but was interrupted by Domenic and Carole’s sudden arrival.

“Not at the moment.

”

“Don’t help her!” Carole suddenly raised her voice.

Her reaction startled Reece.

“Carole, between you and Lindsey, is there a…?” Reece hesitated to delve further.

Carole fixed her gaze on the glass before her, her eyes gradually gleaming with shrewdness, then slowly parted her red Lips.

“No, you should agree to her request,” she declared, looking up at

Reece.

Her eyes held a scheming glint, which unsettled Reece slightly.

Frowning, he questioned, “Carole, what’s going on? First, you advised me against agreeing, and now you’re urging me to agree.

What’s your perspective on this?”

Carole’s lips curled into a smirk.

“I believe, for someone of your expertise, discreetly losing a lawsuit should be a simple feat, don’t you think?”

Shock flickered in Reece’s eyes.

“Are you suggesting I compromise professional ethics and intentionally lose the case? I cannot do that.

”

Having spoken, Reece lifted the water glass from the table, taking a substantial sip.

Reece always held Carole in his heart as a symbol of gentleness and kindness.

During a business trip to Mubluosia, he had coincidentally encountered her at a concert.

During that moment, she was holding a violin at the stage’s center, and produced a melodious flow from her slender fingertips, akin to enchanting music from heaven.

Reece had cherished numerous joyful moments with Carole during his stay in Mubluosia.

Carole possessed not just beauty but also gentleness, courtesy, and knowledge.

Under her exterior attributes,

Carole harbored a free-spirited heart, much Like Reece.
