She fell on him.
She looked up at him in shock. Seeing Bryson's scarlet eyes, she couldn't help feeling flustered.
Before she could react, he suddenly rolled over and got on top of her.
The next second, he held her wrists and kissed her.
It was passionate and overbearing.
The scent of alcohol from his tongue spread in her mouth.
Audrey was stunned. Her mind went blank for a few seconds before she realized that she had been
kissed.
Her first reaction was to resist.
But he was holding her wrists, and she couldn't free herself from him no matter how she tried.
The harder she struggled, the more fierce his kiss became.
He kissed her hard, forced her mouth open, and stuck his tongue in.
She began gasping from all the struggle and was too tired to fight back.
The moment she stopped fighting, his kissed became gentle. The tip of his tongue traced her lips
slowly and softly. It was enticing.
While Audrey was still a mess, Bryson stopped the kiss and muttered softly, "Emily..."
His husky voice brought her back to reality. She realized what was going on.
He had released her.
She took the opportunity to push him off her. She got off the bed and stood there.
Bryson, who was pushed away by Audrey, lay there with his eyes closed. His breath grew steady,
indicating that he was asleep.
Covering her burning cheeks with both hands, Audrey could feel her heart beating faster and faster. It
took her a long while to finally calm down.
Staring at Bryson, who was already sleeping soundly on the bed, Audrey was so cross that she even

But he was completely drunk now.
Just now, Bryson had probably treated her as another woman called Emily.
'Forget it. It's meaningless arguing with a drunkard,' she thought to herself.
Apart from being angry, Audrey also felt a little panicked upon realizing that she kind of liked Bryson's
kisses.
After adjusting her tumbled hair and clothes casually, she left Bryson's room in a hurry.
The moment Audrey ran out of the door, Bryson suddenly opened his eyes. There wasn't even the
slightest sign of drunkenness on his face.
About ten minutes later, Kylee brought a servant to Bryson's bedroom.
Bryson had just changed into his nightgown.
Seeing that Bryson was fine, Kylee heaved a sigh of relief and instructed the servant, "Put the soup on
the table."
The servant went out of the room upon carrying out her order.
"Where's Elliana?"
Kylee muttered with a frown, "After sending you to your room, she hurried downstairs and said that she
needed to go home to find some information, so I asked Kolby to drive her back."
Bryson couldn't help revealing a smile.
Sure enough, she had run away.
Kylee pointed at the warm soup on the table.
"Although you're sober now, you still need to drink this. Otherwise, you'll have a headache tomorrow
morning."
"Okay."
...
Soon came the day of the second trial.
Audrey and her client had made an appointment to meet at the company.
Audrey took a taxi to the company, with the radio inside broadcasting the morning news.
Since the second trial of the QK Architects and the Four Seasons Group's Branch was to be held today,
some reporters interviewed Julian yesterday.
A recording of an interview was broadcast in the morning news, which was exactly the one with Julian.
Reporter: Mr. Julian, the second trial between your company and the QK Architects will start tomorrow.
Do you have confidence in winning it?
Julian: As I've said before, our company has not committed any disciplinary offenses.
Reporter: I can tell that you are sure of your company's victory this time.
Julian: Of course.
His voice was filled with confidence and disdain.
The reporter then changed the topic.
Reporter: I heard that while cooperating with your company, the J Group suddenly withdrew its funds.
Can you give any details on this?
Julian's voice suddenly became impatient.
Julian: Since this involves company secrets, I can't answer your question.
Then came the comment from the announcer: We all know that the second trial between the QK
Architects and the Four Seasons Group's Branch is going to start today. The Four Seasons Group has
a good reputation in the industry, and I am sure the laws must be based on principles of justice.
The announcer's words were nothing but his own subjective speculations.
Hearing this, Audrey put on a contemptuous look.
Whether the Four Seasons Group would win or not was still unknown.
...
As soon as Audrey entered the law firm, she was informed that her client had arrived, so she packed
up all the necessary materials for today's trial and went to the reception room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBack then, Audrey had been in contact with the vice president of the QK Architects. Today, another
man was sitting beside him.
It was Zachery Gomez, General Manager of the QK Architects.
Audrey sat directly opposite the two of them.
"Mr. Gomez, nice to meet you. I'm Audrey Koch, the lawyer in charge of the case involving your
company and the Four Seasons Group's Branch."
When Zachery heard that Audrey was in charge of his case and saw that she was such a young
woman, his face darkened.
"How could it be you? Where's Ms. Liana, the one who took charge of my company's case?"
"I'm in charge of this case now."
"You?" Zachery sneered, "I'm already in the second trial, and I'm not going to give you trainee lawyers
a chance for practice. I want Ms. Liana to take over it."
Although Liana would not help him win this lawsuit, she could at least help him obtain the greatest
benefits. Since Audrey was only in her early twenties, she must be no use to him.
"Mr. Gomez, I have already communicated with Mr. Steele, who said that although Ms. Audrey is
young, she is a well-known lawyer from abroad and has never lost a lawsuit," said the vice president
beside Zachery.
The latter still said with a disdainful look, "I think the Square Law Firm chose this girl to take charge of
my case for it has run out of professional ones. I have to change my lawyer."
Audrey looked at Zachery with a smile. "First, Ms. Liana has other cases to attend today. Second, no
other lawyer in our firm is more familiar with this case than me. Last but not least, the second trial is
today. If no one from your company attends it, the judge will declare your company's loss on the
grounds of your absence."
Zachery was rendered speechless.
It seemed that he had to depend on this young female lawyer today.
Zachery glared fiercely at Audrey.
"If you lose today's lawsuit, I will not let you off."
Audrey replied with a smile spreading across her face, "Mr. Gomez, please wait and see."
