– It was a call from Jade Carlson.

Nathaniel Summers frowned as he answered the phone.

Jade Carlson wanted to meet him.

Nathaniel had just finished talking to Alexander Summers, and now his mind was filled with the ticking time bomb-like photos, leaving him with no mood for another appointment. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

But Jade’s voice choked with emotion: “Nathaniel, only you can help me now…”

He remembered Jade’s dedication to him, and also recalled that Purple Summers had mentioned Jade had left the Prosecutor’s Office. In the end, he sighed and agreed to meet her.

Half an hour later, Nathaniel drove to a coffee shop in the city and saw a haggard Jade Carlson.

Although her clothes and makeup were still exquisite, one’s eyes and aura were hard to disguise, and Nathaniel could see the defeated and decadent Jade Carlson.

“What happened?” Nathaniel asked her, “I heard you resigned?”

Jade’s eyes welled up with tears, and before she could answer, tears overflowed. The glittering teardrops clung to the edge of her eyelashes, trembling but not yet falling, making her look all the more pitiful.

Nathaniel took a few tissues from the table and handed them to her.

After wiping her tears, Jade said, “…After being demoted, I wanted to keep working, but… I really couldn’t stay any longer, there was no place for me in the Prosecutor’s Office.”

Having said that, it seemed she was about to cry again.

If it were usual times, Nathaniel might have comforted her, but he was really irritable today, and asked brusquely, “What exactly happened?”

Jade knew Nathaniel’s temper well, so she stopped playing the victim and softly explained to him—

In Caspian Maple’s case, she said she had been scapegoated for the prosecutor general, and after becoming an intern, she said she not only experienced gender discrimination in the workplace but also endured unbearable sexual harassment. She was left with no choice but to resign and leave.

She was crying and complaining all the way, full of grievances.

In the past, Nathaniel would have believed whatever Jade said.

But with the recent events, one after another, Jade’s credibility had worn thin, and Nathaniel was skeptical of her claims of discrimination and sexual harassment.

Regarding her resignation from the Prosecutor’s Office, Nathaniel didn’t know how to evaluate it, and simply said, “You have a degree and an impressive resume; it wouldn’t be bad to switch to another job. I heard that many prosecutors have switched careers to become lawyers.”

Lawyer?

Jade frowned subconsciously.

Both working in law-related fields, but in terms of social status, a lawyer is far inferior to a prosecutor!

When it comes to lawyers, people’s impression is always mercenary and money-oriented. It seems that those who can afford lawyers are rich people, and as long as the price is high enough, even the most vicious criminals will have lawyers willing to defend them.

Not so for prosecutors, a profession dedicated to fighting all sorts of evil, inherently righteous, and fulfilling people’s fantasies about nobility and justice.

Jade wanted to be admired, so she chose this profession, but she was ultimately defeated.

But even in defeat, she didn’t want to give up her original intention.

“I can have my older brother introduce you to a suitable law firm, or do you plan to do other jobs?” Nathaniel asked her.

He thought Jade was looking for a job and called him for help.

But Jade’s intentions were elsewhere, and she said with some hesitation, “I already have some arrangements for work. I came to you today because my father wants to meet you.”

“Mayor Carlson wants to see me?” Nathaniel was puzzled, “Why?”

Jade’s cheeks flushed slightly, “My father… he… he thinks we’re dating and wants to formally meet you.”
