A glint of understanding flashed in Timothy’s eyes, and he said calmly, “So, we are opponents then.”
A flash of disappointment crossed Barbara’s eyes as she looked at Timothy and said, “Mr. Smith, you’re not the man I thought you were. You should be aware of the issues with Kingly Group. Why are you still aiding and abetting Kingly Group?!”
After a few seconds of silence, Timothy chuckled, “I’m just doing what I want to do. If it had been someone from the Cameron family who had approached me first, I might have taken on the Cameron family’s case. As a lawyer, I’m just trying my best to help my clients win their cases. It has nothing to do with aiding and abetting evil.”
“But you weren’t like this before!”
A glint of coldness flashed in Timothy’s eyes as he lowered his gaze and said, “I’ve always been like this. It’s just that you’ve never really understood me. If you’re here to persuade me not to take on the Kingly Group’s lawsuit, you can leave now.”
Barbara stood up, speaking deliberately, “Mr. Smith, I don’t know what has happened to you these past few years, but I will always remember the man who stood on the podium and told us that the law is inviolable, that it should be used to help ordinary people, not as a tool for the powerful to manipulate. I will dedicate myself to upholding this principle.”
A shock flashed in Timothy’s eyes, he hadn’t expected that

someone would actually remember his words.
However, his expression quickly became indifferent.
“Sister He, it seems that our values are not quite the same now. You don’t need to come to me in the future. You can do what you think is right, and I will do what I decide to do. I won’t change for anyone or anything!”
“Alright! Then let’s see, who was right after all!”
After speaking, Barbara left directly with her bag.
Timothy watched her retreating figure, his eyes filled with complex emotions, not knowing what he was thinking. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
the Cameron family.
Over an hour had passed since Sean and Maxim finished their conversation in the study.
Gemma had been tired for a while now. She hadn’t slept at all these past few days with Sean being around. All she wanted at this moment was to take a bath and go to sleep.
Briana Cameron also noticed that she wasn’t feeling well, and after Maxim came out, she pulled him away.
On the way back, Briana Cameron looked at Maxim and said, “Earlier at the dinner table, you said you would tell me on the way back, do you know if my third brother and Ms. Hamilton. knew each other before?”
Maxim was calm, “Your third brother used to date Ms. Hamilton, but it ended quite unpleasantly.”
Briana Cameron’s eyes widened in shock, “I knew it, I had a feeling something was off between my third brother and Ms. Hamilton!”
Maxim turned his head and glanced at her, seeing the gossip gleam in her eyes, he couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Don’t bother asking your third brother for confirmation, it seems that neither of them want to bring up this relationship, it’s enough that you know.“”
“Don’t worry, I wasn’t going to ask.”
The two had just returned home when Briana Cameron’s phone rang.
Seeing it was Astrid, the content of their afternoon chat immediately rushed into her mind, and her face turned red instantly.
Afraid that Astrid might say something shocking in front of Maxim, Briana Cameron, holding her phone, said, “I’m going back to the bedroom first.”
“Good.”
Briana Cameron didn’t answer the phone until she returned to her bedroom and closed the door.
“Why did you answer so slowly? Did I interrupt something good?” Astrid’s teasing voice came through, laced with a hint of amusement.
Upon hearing this, Briana Cameron’s face turned even redder, she lowered her voice and said, “No, we just got back.”
“Oh, I just called to check on your progress. Keep going!”
Briana Cameron: “……
After hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, “I’ve already made up with him, so I guess we don’t need this anymore, right?”
It wasn’t that she was unwilling, she just felt somewhat ashamed, after all, she had never had such an experience before.
Astrid chuckled, “Look at yourself, if you want to improve the relationship between the two of you, you can try. If you don’t want to now, next time is fine too.”
