NovelEnglishChapter 568 Unspoken Bonds Polly sat in the conference room, looking dejected as she rested her head in her hand, her face etched with worry.
The sound of keyboard keys clicking filled the room. Shirley, focused on her laptop screen, was rapidly typing out the details of the case.
She had a youthful, doll-like face that looked even younger with her slender build, though her complexion was healthy. Her small but delicate features were framed by silver-rimmed glasses perched on her slightly upturned nose, and she wore her short hair in a neat, professional style.
"Ms. Tillery, I've noted everything we discussed. I'll have my assistant contact you once I'm back.
"As for the person spreading rumors online, don't worry-I'll track them down. The technology for IP tracking is really advanced these days. Even if they've deleted their account and gone off the grid, I can still find them." Shirley lifted her hands off the keyboard and closed her laptop.

Polly raised her head, looking at Shirley. "Thank you." Shirley smiled calmly. "You're welcome.
"I'll head out now. Oh, and by the way, hiring a lawyer isn't something to be ashamed of. Don't feel anxious-I'm here to help you." With that, she picked up her laptop bag, stood up, nodded slightly to Polly, and prepared to leave.
Margot hurried over to open the door for her.
Just as Shirley was stepping out, Polly stood up from her seat and called out, "Wait." Shirley paused, turning her head slightly.
"Is there something else, Ms. Tillery?" Polly hesitated, then asked, "Earlier, Violeta toldthat even if I didn't pay you, you'd still do your best to help me. Why is that?" Considering Shirley's current level of expertise, her fees weren't cheap.
She was a well-known criminal lawyer in the industry, and there was a long line of people waiting to hire her. To be honest, Polly didn't believe Shirley would help her without payment.
After all, they didn't have any prior connection-they were just two strangers.
The only explanation Polly could think of was that Shirley and Violeta were friends.
But even if that were the case, it might just mean a discounted fee, not free help.
This was something Polly couldn't quite figure out, so she couldn't resist asking Shirley directly.
Upon hearing that, Shirley's lips curled into a smile, her eyes glinting for a moment as she said, "Because I'm her friend." Was the answer really that simple? Polly was surprised. "Just because of that?" Shirley thought for a moment and calmly added, "And maybe because we've been through something similar." "Oh?" Polly asked.

Polly nodded and replied, "Vio? She's doing well. She's filming a moviez right now. Even if she wasn't doing great, she's still in a much better place than I am right now, haha." en Shirley reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll clear your name. I won't keep you any longer." With that, the conversation ended.
Shirley left the conference room, and after seeing her out, Margot returned.
"That lawyer sure has an impressive presence, but she's so thin. You don't see many people that slim." In the entertainment industry,
actresses often keep their weight around 90 pounds to look good lan camera, and it's rare to see anyone En over 100 pounds. While they may look great on screen, in real life, they often appear much thinner.
Shirley, though, seemed to be over 5'5".
Yet, aside from her youthful, slightly fuller face, the rest of her seemed almost all skin and bones-just too thin. Polly agreed. "Yeah, maybe she just can't gain weight. Speople are lucky like that." Margot added, "She's really professional, too. She never showed any emotion." Shirley had maintained a calm expression throughout, giving off a very reliable vibe. Whether she was asking questions or speaking, her expression never wavered much.
The only tshe showed any hint. of personal feeling was when she mentioned Violeta, a small, private smile playing on her lips. It seemed she and Violeta had a pretty close relationship.
