Chapter208
Maureen hugged her, gently patting her shoulder: “It’s okay. I don’t blame you. Win or lose, it’s fine.”
Losing just meant returning to square one.
The more Maureen comforted her, the more guilt consumed Katherine, her eyes reddening.
“Reenie, I need the restroom. Wait for me?”
“Okay.”
Katherine stood and left–not heading to the restroom, but straight toward Tyler’s lounge.
Lounge.
Geoffrey rubbed his temples and asked Tyler: “Where did you get those photos?”
Back when he was with Maureen, he wouldn’t let anyone take photos casually.
Tyler didn’t hide it: “Security footage.”
Since losing that lawsuit, he never fights a battle he’s not sure of.
Geoffrey was incredulous. Getting so many photos from surveillance over this period was a big job.
“Sorry, Katherine, you can’t
go
in.”
“I won’t go in. Please ask Tyler to come out. I want to see him.”
Voices came from outside: Katherine and the bodyguard.
Tyler stood up: “I’ll handle it.”
“Hmm.”
Geoffrey didn’t refuse.
He knew this man’s ambition. He’d never give up a chance for fame and fortune over a

woman.
In this divorce case, both lawyers would definitely appear in the public eye.
“Slap!” A crisp slap echoed from the hallway.
Tyler stood there, not fighting back.
Katherine’s hand trembled slightly as it slowly lowered.
“Had enough?”
Tyler asked coldly.
Katherine’s eyes were red, her lips parted: “As Geoffrey’s lawyer, don’t you know what kind of man he is?”
Do you know how miserable my friend was in the past?”
“Geoffrey refused to touch Reenie, yet his mother Heather kept forcing her to get pregnant- making her gulp down packets of herbal medicine and undergo endless tests.”
“That wasn’t enough. While Reenie devoted herself to him, he kept pining for another woman.”
“He personally destroyed the company Maureen’s father built from scratch…‘
“Sure, Geoffrey never laid hands on Maureen. But what he did was far more despicable than hitting a woman!”
Katherine listed every one of Geoffrey’s wrongs, hoping Tyler would champion justice like he did in their youth.
But people change.
Tyler cut her off coldly: “Miss White, I’m just a lawyer–not justice incarnate. I focus on my duties.”
Katherine’s vision blurred with tears.
“But… you once said becoming a lawyer was to help the poor who couldn’t afford justice.”
Tyler snorted. “How naive you are, Miss White?”
“Those pretty words? Just lies to fool ignorant girls like you.

“All to get close to the White Family behind you.”
“Since your father rejected me, why keep up the act?”
After speaking, he said in Katherine’s shocked gaze.
“If you want to win, prove yourself. Don’t think shedding a few tears will make me yield.”
To rub salt in the wound, that must be it.
Katherine froze in place, unable to help but mock herself.
Just moments ago, she thought she could make Tyler return to how he was, not expecting that he had been deceiving her all along.
All that talk about a lawyer upholding justice was a lie.
Katherine felt a lump in her throat; she had always looked up to Tyler as her role model.
Even after they broke up, she still remembered Tyler’s dream of becoming a lawyer who fights for justice, so she chose to become a lawyer despite her father’s opposition.
Even while managing the White Family’s branch, she didn’t forget to offer legal aid.
But her faith collapsed today.
On the other side, Maureen sat alone indoors, clutching her phone tightly.
She knew there was another way that might win the lawsuit.
The court reconvened. Katherine had dried her tears; she wouldn’t let Tyler look down on her.
She restated all testimony about Maureen and Geoffrey’s broken relationship, detailing Geoffrey’s emotional abuse…
With no new evidence, the judge prepared to rule when Maureen suddenly spoke.
