How Can I Be Mistaken

1140 Words
Hearing this, Bryson changed his expression slightly. Bryson's younger sister, Elliana, hung out with her classmates when she was eighteen years old, but an accident happened. She was killed in a hotel. Later, the murderer surrendered himself to the police and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Kylee loved Elliana a lot. Her family was afraid that Kylee would not be able to accept this fact. So, they lied to Kylee and said that Elliana had gone abroad to study. Two years ago, Kylee accidentally found out the truth, but after that.... Bryson couldn't afford time to think much, and he quickly walked to Kylee's room. Kylee pushed the servant away angrily. "What nonsense are you talking about? Elliana is still alive. I saw her. How could you lie to me that Elliana would not come back? Get out of here!" Seeing Bryson, Kylee immediately rushed to him. "Bryson, it's great that you're here!" Kylee grabbed Bryson's arm and glared at the servants behind her as if she were a fighting c**k. "They said that Elliana would never come back. Bryson, tell them that Elliana is fine, OK?" Bryson held his grandma in his arms. "Yes." Then Bryson's cold and sharp eyes swept across the servants, and they all lowered their heads in fear, not daring to say anything. Kylee heaved a sigh of relief. "I told you. Besides, I saw Elliana today. How could I be mistaken?" "Grandma, I heard you hadn't had lunch yet. Let's go eat first." "Where's Elliana?" "Well, she is busy." Kylee's face darkened. "What's so important that she doesn't even have time to have dinner with me? Call Elliana. If she doesn't come, I won't eat." Bryson didn't respond. Kylee pushed Bryson and the servants out without hearing their explanation. ... They were in the study of the Cordova Mansion. An hour later, Bryson's assistant, Melvin, knocked on the door from outside. "Come in." Melvin pushed open the door and entered. "Mr. Bryson, I have found the information you want." Melvin placed a piece of paper in front of Bryson. "The young lady who saved your grandmother is called Audrey Koch. This is all her information in Country M. But I couldn't get any information about her before she was at the age of eighteen...." Melvin replied truthfully. Bryson's gaze swept across the contents of the information. It was a photo of Audrey without makeup. Audrey looked astonishingly beautiful. Her eyes were clever and cunning, yet they were clear. She looked like a nine-tailed fox that had seen through this world but still maintained a pure heart. Name: Audrey Koch Gender: Female. Age: 24. Height: 165cm. Graduate Institution: Law School, University of Country M. Romantic Experience: None. Experience after Graduation: Joined YG Law Firm in Country M and handled more than 100 cases in two years without any failure. It was followed by Audrey's phone number and address. As Bryson was reading her profile, Melvin said, "This Ms. Audrey is a promising young lawyer in Country M. Somehow, she suddenly gave up the high-paying job in a famous foreign law firm and returned home." Bryson simply replied, 'Got it'. Melvin respectfully nodded. "Mr. Bryson, if you have nothing else needed, I will leave." "Well." After Melvin left, Bryson stared at Audrey's picture while pondering over something. Then, he shifted his gaze to the phone number. ... Square Law Firm As soon as she reached the door, Audrey could feel the decadence of the law firm. There was hardly anyone inside. The receptionist was watching TV with her phone behind the counter, as if she didn't see Audrey at all. Audrey walked to the counter, but the receptionist was still looking down at her phone. Audrey frowned and bent her index finger, knocking on the wooden top of the counter. The receptionist looked up impatiently. "What's up?" "I'm looking for Mr. Steele!" The receptionist continued to look down at her phone. She pointed to the left with her left hand and said, "Go left and turn left at the end. Go straight ahead. The innermost room is Mr. Steele's office." "Thank you!" Audrey's mood was not affected by the receptionist. Instead, she followed the instruction of the receptionist and found Freddy Steele's office. After walking up to the office, Audrey knocked on the door. "Who is it?" "I am Audrey. I have called before." Audrey could hear panicked footsteps and the window was opened from inside. Then, someone moved to the door and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, a pungent smell of cigarettes came straight at Audrey. She was greeted by a messy office. Magazines and clothes were piled up into a mess in a corner on the sofa. The ashtray on the desk was full of cigarette butts and ashes. One cigarette was only half left, emitting smoke. Freddy touched his messy hair, not bothering to hide the joy on his face. "Hello, you are Audrey? I didn't expect you to be a great beauty." "Mr. Steele, nice to meet you!" "Please come in." Audrey walked in and sat down on the sofa. Freddy looked at Audrey with some uncertainty. "Audrey, are you sure you want to join our firm?" After all, Audrey was a famous lawyer in Country M. Although Freddy's law firm was not small, it could only be considered a medium-sized one. Audrey smiled and nodded, "I'm sure." Sealing was extremely excited when he received a positive answer. "Audrey, welcome to our company. When will you start work?" "Tomorrow!" "Tomorrow? That's great." "The QK Architects is engaged in a lawsuit against a subsidiary of the Four Seasons Group. I heard that the defense lawyer was from our firm. Can you leave this case to me?" The QK Architects and the subsidiary of the Four Seasons Group had an economic dispute. The former had lost the first trial. Besides, the latter had conclusive evidence. Although they had complied with the customer's request to appeal, they were not confident that they would win in the second trial. However, Audrey volunteered to take over this hot potato. This was of complete benefit to Freddy. Although Audrey was famous abroad, domestic laws were different. If she won this case, their company would receive a large amount of legal fees. If they lost, it would prove Audrey's reputation to be undeserving. Freddy could shift the blame onto Audrey so that the client would target her instead of him. Freddy coughed softly. "Audrey, are you sure you want to take over this case? If you do, you can't go back on your word." "Of course!" Audrey walked out of Square Law Firm with a meaningful smile. Suddenly, her phone rang loudly. She picked up the phone and said, "Hello?" "Hello, is this Ms. Audrey?" A man's deep and attractive voice came from the phone.
