Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 71
“Do you happen to know what rumors are circulating about you? Some say you’re a despicable lawyer who stops at nothing to win a case. Others claim you’re a bloodsucking leech of a lawyer, siding with the powerful and preying on the helpless. Well? Which one is the truth?”
For a moment, Parker tightened his lips, pulling them taut. He forced himself to take a deep breath, swallowing the surge of anger rising within him.
His voice turned icy.
“Please answer only the questions I ask, Lord Preston.”
Windsor nodded and continued.
“It means that, just like the rumors about you, neither of the rumors about me is true. Is that a sufficient answer?”
Parker’s brow furrowed. He glared at Windsor with burning eyes. Windsor’s bland voice addressed him once more.
“Moreover, this is not a place to dig into idle gossip, but to uncover the truth. Do not forget—you are a lawyer, not a journalist. Though I’m sure you, as counsel, understand that better than I do.”
Scattered laughter rippled through the gallery. It stung Parker’s pride. He clenched his jaw even tighter.
Perhaps he had underestimated Windsor too much. The counterpunch had struck Parker, not Windsor.
“……”
His colleague Archer, locking eyes with him, signaled to switch places, but Parker had no intention of backing down now. If he stepped aside at this moment, it would look exactly like he was fleeing with his tail between his legs.
Ignoring Archer’s glance, he fixed a sharp glare on Windsor. His competitive spirit had flared up. Grinding his teeth, Parker resolved he would absolutely break Windsor’s arrogance.
After calming himself with a single deep breath, he feigned composure. A sharp question slipped through his clenched teeth.
“Am I to understand that your recent statement, Lord Preston, means you lack nothing in noble decorum? And how might you prove that?”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
