âIs it Lawyer Kang Milo?â asked Jason.
âDo you know about him?â Grace was slightly stunned. Then, she realized that he must have looked into her history in L City when she got back to Emerald City. She nodded and said, âYes, that was also the first time I met my mentor. I won that lawsuit, and my mentor lost, but he wasnât mad. Instead, he took me in as an apprentice.â
That lawsuit was a rare failure for her mentor, but Grace still felt warm when she thought of what he had said to her at that time.
âRegardless of failure, the most important thing is the pursuit of the truth. Although we lawyers should be representing our clients, we shouldnât be ignorant and not pursue the truth.â
Her mentor was a righteous lawyer who was also highly respected in the legal world. He was someone Grace admired.
âThe person today is Damian Harmon. He used to be a government staff, but he lost his job because he was sentenced to two and a half years in prison. It seems that his family spent a lot of money and even took on some debts,â said Grace.
Therefore, it was not difficult to understand Damian Harmonâs hostility and resentment toward her.
However, they not only targeted her today but also mentioned her mentorâ¦
Grace instantly shuddered at the thought of it. âBy the way, will todayâs incident be on the news? If it affects my mentor..â
âDonât worry, I had someone take care of it and wonât let it go viral online,â said Jason.
Grace knew that since he had said so, todayâs incident would not spread even if there were some discussions online.
Even so, she still called her mentor in L City and told him about it, lest it was mentioned in front of him and he was caught off guard.
After all, she did not want her mentorâs reputation to be tarnished, especially by such dirty slander.
âMentor, Iâm sorry. Iâll take care of it. Weâve reported it to the police, and the man is also being held in custody. However, it happened downtown. Even if relevant news is deleted, Iâm afraid thereâll still be some-â
âYou need not be afraid of these things if youâve done nothing wrong.!â Old Lawyer Wattsâs voice sounded from the other end of the line with a strangely soothing charm. âYou and I both did nothing wrong in that case. Since weâve chosen a career as a lawyer, weâll always be facing these doubts. If you plan to continue working in this field, you may face more of these doubts in the future.â
âI know,â said Grace.
âBut you said Jason is very kind to you on the phone last time, so Iâm relieved as well. Iâll come to Emerald City next time to visit you, Jasper, and the Mick you mentioned,â said Old Lawyer Watts.
âI should bring them to L City to see you,â Grace said quickly. After all, her mentor was old now.
âHaha. Just assume I want to visit Emerald City too. Iâll go there as soon as I finish my cases,â said Old Lawyer Watts.
The two talked for a while longer before ending their call.
âIt seems you have great respect for your mentor,â said Jason.
Grace said, âYes, heâs a very righteous person. I won the lawsuit against him, but he was not unhappy at all. He valued the truth of the case more. He said we should protect the interests of our clients, but it doesnât mean that we have to be ignorant and make things up to protect them. Thatâll only create more injustice and victims in the world.â
