"Benedict, aren't you a gentleman? How could you make fun of me too? You've learned their bad habits!" Leigh felt a pang in her heart.

"Leigh, you're so biased." Madison teased, "How could you say that he learned those bad habits from us? Why can't it be that we learned it from him?"

She argued, "Benedict is a gentleman, whereas you guys are all rascals!"

Then, she waved her hand. "Forget it. I'm not spewing any more nonsense with you guys. Caitlin and I were talking about serious business when you guys interrupted us! Katy…"

Turning her head toward Caitlin, she asked, "So, have you decided yet? Are you staying?"

"Yes, I've made up my mind," Caitlin answered with a grin. "Since you're so sincere in hiring me, of course, I'll stay!"

Leigh is right. I found the witness, proved that my dad is innocent, and the bad guys received the punishment they deserved. I have exacted my revenge.

After having grown tired of her nomadic life, she thought that she should settle down. With no more blood relatives, the people at Oasis Law Office were the closest she had to a family.

Although she and the others from Oasis Law Office had not spent much time together, she could clearly tell that all of them were groups of passionate and upright people. Moreover, she, Madeline, and Leigh especially hit it off, so she thought it was her best option to settle down at Oasis Law Office.

"That's great!" Leigh beamed and high-fived Caitlin before turning to Leah. "What about you, Leah? Are you still leaving?"

"I still have to accept the tasks that require me to leave the city," answered Leah.

"After listening to your conversation, I'd still like to remind you guys about something." Avery interrupted them. "All four of you delicate ladies should leave the running-around to men like us and just stay in Dusktown to deal with our internal affairs. Those are important too because the more cases you take, the more money you earn. Right, boys?"

"Yes!"

"You're right!"


"On point, Avery!"

The men in Oasis Law Office all voiced their support for Avery.

"That works too." Leah grinned. "I'll hand over the tasks that require heading outside to you boys first and take on those that you guys can't cope with."

"Leah, what about your grandfather? Will he do anything to you if you stay in Dusktown?" Madeline was concerned.

Leah's home was located in Dusktown. Furthermore, the Sawyer Family used to be a noble family in Dusktown, but they declined to be part of the nobles when it came to Rufus Sawyer's generation.

Since Rufus had limited capabilities, the family gradually deteriorated after being handed over to Leah's grandfather. Their expenses soon overcame their income, and one of the more prominent families in Dusktown slowly became a small and ordinary family.

There was even a time when the Sawyers were in such bad conditions that they had to sell their family inheritance just to get by.

As their days progressed harder, Rufus decided to divide their family.

He had three sons, and Leah's father was his eldest child.

According to tradition, the older generation would most likely value their eldest son and grandson, but in the Sawyer Family, Rufus pampered his second and third sons the most. In other words, Leah's father was his least favorite.

Therefore, when it came to dividing their families, all the valuables were given to Leah's uncles, whereas her parents only received a warehouse that was severely losing money with a huge debt to pay.

Since Leah's mother was dissatisfied with her husband always submitting to adversity, she divorced him after they had a big fight and brought Leah's older brother with her.

Meanwhile, Leah's maternal grandfather only had a son and daughter, while her uncle had three daughters. Therefore, the Day Family needed a successor.

After Leah's mother brought her son back home, she had her son change his last name to her maiden last name and became the Days' successor. From then on, they never contacted the Sawyers.

Since Leah's father was talented in business with hints of luck, he was able to turn the tides on the failing warehouse and slowly develop it into the leading enterprise of its industry and earn a hefty profit.

At the same time, Leah's uncles were doing the opposite. They would lose every business they started and gradually use up all the inheritance they received.

As the days became harder to come by, Leah's uncles turned their attention to the company that Leah's family owned and told Leah's father that they would like to join his company.

Ever since their family separated, Leah's father had lost his wife and son, and he had completely fallen out with his father and brothers. Hence, why would he let his brothers enter his company?

Therefore, he sternly rejected them.

A year later, Leah's father passed away in a car accident.

Leah kept suspecting that her father's death was related to her two uncles, but she had no proof. Even after she called the cops and spent a hefty amount of money to hire a private investigator, the results she received all proved that the car accident that killed her father was, indeed, just an accident.

Although her gut told her that her father's death was her uncles' doing, she had no proof nor could she do anything about them.

Soon after her father's passing, her grandfather located her and requested she let her uncles take over her father's company.

Whether it was Rufus or Leah's uncles, all of them never expected that her father had written a will, which strictly stated that all of his assets would be passed down to Leah, regardless of his cause of death.
