"Stop it! Go back to your seat!" Deegan angrily rebuked.
Ashly was shocked by him, and her body subconsciously shrank.
Why didn't Deegan answer her instead of angrily rebuking her? It definitely wasn't what she had
imagined. It wasn't.
Although Deegan said so, Ashly didn't give up. Instead, she continued to ask.
"Mr. Deegan, please tell me. Please tell me that you won the case."
Deegan didn't respond.
Audrey, who was sitting behind Deegan, helped Ashly out. She said, "Deegan, Ashly feels bad that you
don't tell her the result. There are only two choices. Either you won the case or lost it. It's very simple.
Just tell her. Why are you still keeping it?"
Ashly glared at Audrey. Then she stared at Deegan, hoping to know the answer.
She clenched his fists and waited for Deegan to say that he won.
Deegan didn't say anything.
He looked at Audrey with an ugly expression.
Did she deliberately embarrass him?
Before Deegan said something, Freddy suddenly walked out of his office.
He looked at Deegan, "Deegan, the client suddenly called to complain about you and said that you lost
the case. What happened?"
Deegan's face changed.
Ashly's face turned pale.
What? Deegan lost the case? What happened? How could Deegan lose it? Wasn't his opponent just a
novice lawyer who went to court for the first time? How could Deegan lose?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAshly looked at Deegan anxiously.
"Mr. Deegan, is Mr. Steele wrong? You didn't lose the case, did you?"
Deegan was too annoyed to respond to Ashly.
He looked at Freddy, "Mr. Steele, I will bear all the losses."
Freddy's face softened, "It's good that you can take the responsibility. Don't make mistakes in the next
case."
"I understand, Mr. Steele."
Freddy received a definite answer from Deegan and turned back to his office in satisfaction.
Ashly was still standing next to Deegan in a daze. She was completely stunned.
"Why are you still here?" Deegan was annoyed to see Ashly here.
Audrey smiled as she leaned on her chair. When she looked at Ashly, her eyes narrowed slightly.
"Ashly, now you know the result. It's your time to fulfill your promise."
The promise!
Hearing it, Ashly suddenly became sober. Only then did she recall the agreement between her and
Audrey. She was a little frightened.
She clenched her fists and said with trembling lips, "Audrey, I ... I know I was wrong!"
Ashly walked towards Audrey quickly and felt so nervous.
"Audrey, I know I was wrong. Can ... can you please forgive me this time?"
Audrey smiled at Ashly.
"You said you want me to forgive you this time?"
"Yes!" Ashly quickly said, "Please forgive me. I make the mistake for the first time. Please give me
another chance!" Ashly pleaded humbly.
Audrey snorted, "Ashly, I want to ask you something. Please answer me truthfully."
"Audrey, I definitely will."
"If ... I lose and I beg you to forgive me, will you sympathize with me and give me another chance?"
Ashly was lost for words.
Of course not. She had always disliked Audrey. How could she give her another chance? If she won,
she would definitely ask Audrey to leave the firm.
However, Ashly lost. She could not tell Audrey what she truly thought.
She immediately said, "Of course I will. You are Audrey. I have always respected you. How could I kick
you out of the firm?"
"Oh, really?" Audrey smiled brightly, "Ashly, I was just thinking that if you tell the truth, I will admire you
for being honest and consider giving you another chance, but you..."
Audrey sneered and shook her head.
Ashly felt hopeless.
What Audrey meant was...
Audrey said, "Ashly, I am so disappointed. According to what you have done, you are not qualified to
be a lawyer."
Deegan was confused, not knowing what they were talking about.
"What are you talking about? What happened?"
Audrey handed the agreement in her drawer to Deegan.
Deegan accepted it doubtfully. After reading it, Deegan slammed the table angrily.
"You used my trial results to bet with Audrey."
Ashly was about to cry. She fell to her knees in front of Deegan.
"Deegan, I really want to be a lawyer. I beg you. Please persuade Audrey to keep me. Let me stay,
okay?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDeegan was so angry, "This agreement was signed by you. You should accept the result!"
Ashly was desperate.
Deegan was unwilling to help her.
Ashly fell to the ground.
In the afternoon, Ashly went to the Personnel Department and resigned.
There were many interns in the firm. Thus, the Personnel Department didn't ask Ashly to stay after she
resigned.
After leaving the Personnel Department, she returned to her seat and packed her things.
She was furious.
She could have stayed in Square Law Firm, but she had to leave because Deegan lost the case.
Moreover, at the critical moment, Deegan didn't help her. She was so disappointed.
Passing by Deegan with her things, she said angrily, "Deegan, you can't even win a novice lawyer who
went to court for the first time. You are unworthy of your title. I think less of you!"
Deegan didn't respond.
After saying that, Ashly angrily carried her things and left the firm. Deegan was angry because of her
words.
It was awful. Everyone could shout at him.
