Chapter 1195

“Why do you want to be my defense lawyer?” she asked at the time.

“Because Amelia expressed her desire to inquire about her friend’s whereabouts, and you were willing to share that information on the condition of securing probation for yourself, is that not correct?” Rosalie inquired.

“So, you’re helping her? A lawyer like you wouldn’t need to do such a thing for money, would you?” Alicia replied sarcastically.
