Ben met Attorney Freeman's provocation with cool composure, glancing back at him with a faint smile. "Feel free to file a complaint against me. I'll countersue for defamation, and we can settle it properly in court. How about that?" Attorney Freeman's smirk faltered, and he shrugged nonchalantly. "Forget it. I'm not looking for trouble. Everyone knows you're not someone to cross. Besides, I never explicitly said there was favoritism."

Ben let out a faint chuckle. "If you're not interested in facing me in court, then let's leave it to the competition. When the time comes, we'll see who comes out on top."

Freeman raised a brow. "You've got that much faith in Jamie?"

Ben stood waiting, taking a bouquet of flowers from his assistant and presenting it to her with a warm smile. "Congratulations on advancing."
