Chapter 221: Chapter 221: In Such a Hurry?

Evelyn Grant’s main suspicion stemmed from two things: every time she had an issue, the firm would suddenly go on break, and... her workload was always light, with no superiors ever rushing her!

’Wasn’t that an easy fix?’

’All I have to do is push her a little, and the problem will be solved.’

"So urgent? Alright, I’ll look at it right now."

"Yes, and another thing, Ms. Grant. I know you’re in the hospital because of your health, and the firm has granted you leave, but you can’t afford to be careless when it comes to communicating with our client! You know our firm is consistently ranked in the top three for case win rates in the province. Losing just one case could cause our ranking to drop..."

That heavy charge immediately put Evelyn Grant under a lot of pressure.

"I understand! Don’t worry, I’ll do my absolute best."

"Good."

After hanging up, although Evelyn Grant felt the pressure, her suspicion that Ryan Sterling was behind the law firm had indeed been greatly reduced.

On the other end of the line, Mr. Shaw also breathed a sigh of relief.

’It seems I really don’t understand Ms. Grant at all. It took Mr. Sterling to figure this out!’

’If a lawyer at a normal firm received special treatment, they’d probably just think the firm was great, or that their boss was looking out for them and they should show their appreciation. Who, like Evelyn Grant, would immediately connect it to Ryan Sterling and then try to resign?’

’If she left, would the firm even be able to stay open?’

Mr. Shaw was genuinely terrified.

Fortunately, Ryan Sterling had given him a strategy to keep Evelyn Grant. All Mr. Shaw had to do was follow it without making any mistakes.

’It might look like I’m pressuring her to get back to work, but in reality, I’ve already contacted her client!’

’That client would never give Evelyn Grant a hard time.’

’This way, not only will Evelyn Grant stop being suspicious of the firm, but it will also prevent her from compromising her recovery out of a sense of urgency.’

’Killing two birds with one stone.’

"I’m so brilliant,"

Mr. Shaw praised himself, then pulled out his phone to message his boss.

[Mr. Sterling, I don’t think Ms. Grant suspects the firm’s relationship with you anymore! I’ll keep up this approach on my end so she doesn’t feel like anything is off.]

A moment later, a reply came back.

[Okay. I’ll be busy for a while, probably abroad. Please look after Evelyn Grant for me.]

[Understood! You can count on me.]

And Mr. Shaw would have to look after her as if she were his own ancestor!

It was no exaggeration to say that Evelyn Grant was his bread and butter.

The firm only existed because of her! Where else could he find a behind-the-scenes boss as good as Ryan Sterling? The man had no other demands, didn’t care about the firm’s profits, and never blamed him whether business was good or bad.

Whenever the firm needed money, Ryan Sterling would transfer the funds immediately. As for the profits, he often just left them in Mr. Shaw’s care, telling him to keep them for a rainy day.

Mr. Shaw had known from the very beginning: the sole reason this law firm existed was Evelyn Grant.

Without her, there would be no firm.

"Sigh..."

Mr. Shaw couldn’t help himself.

’Probably any woman would fall for a man like Ryan Sterling, right? He’s rich, powerful, handsome, and completely devoted!’

’And yet, there was Evelyn Grant...’

’Not only did she reject him, but she was always picking fights with her own boss.’

’Sometimes, Mr. Shaw really wanted to accept Ryan Sterling’s marriage proposal on Evelyn Grant’s behalf! Otherwise, she might never find such a perfect man again!’
