Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 29

"I heard Attorney Wentworth doesn't take on cases easily, but five years ago he suddenly agreed to defend me. I admit, I've always been curious about that."

Briony's heart skipped a beat, but she kept her expression calm. "Honestly, I barely know him. My advisor introduced us back then, and Attorney Wentworth only agreed to help as a personal favor to my mentor."

Julia nodded in understanding. "I see. Well, now that I'm finally out, I was thinking we could pick up a thank-you gift and visit him in person to express our gratitude."

Briony panicked and blurted out, "That's really not necessary!"

Julia looked puzzled. "Why not?"

Briony scrambled for an excuse. "I already sent something, and my advisor mentioned that Attorney Wentworth doesn't like to be disturbed by people outside his circle."

Julia nodded. "Oh, well, if that's the case, never mind then."

Relieved, Briony said her goodbyes to Julia and headed to City Hall.
