A man walked into the room, accompanied by an assistant carrying a black briefcase. 

The security guard escorted them. 

Clearly, this was the lawyer that Isabelle had mentioned. 

“Who is this?” Timothy, who had attained his current position through his extraordinary abilities, was adept at discerning people. He instantly recognised that the individual before him was no ordinary 

man. 

His habitual bureaucratic demeanour immediately took over. Timothy extended both hands and briskly walked toward Jim. 

“Convictus Legal, Jim Carter.” Jim shook hands with Timothy politely. “I am…” He glanced around the room. As soon as his eyes met Isabelle’s, he confirmed her identity.”… the appointed lawyer for this young woman.” 

“Convictus Legal? Jim Carter?” Timothy’s eyes widened in surprise. 

It was impossible for him to not know such a prominent figure. 

Once, someone deliberately set Timothy up, causing him to be caught in a scandal. He tried to use his connections and money to get Jim to represent him in court. 

After much effort, he finally obtained Jim’s contact information, but was rejected without even a meeting. Jim claimed that his case was too trivial. 

And right now, Isabelle’s lawyer, an influential lawyer who wasn’t susceptible to financial pressure, was in front of him. 

Timothy was confused. Was this a big deal? 

Even if the Harris family had requested it, Jim shouldn’t have shown up in person, right? 

Before he could grasp the whole situation, Jim had walked up to Isabelle. He asked, “How should I address you?” 

“Isabelle Jenkins.” 

Jim nodded and said, “Miss Jenkins, I hope I make it on time.” 

Isabelle replied, “You’re slightly late, but it doesn’t matter.” 

Seeing his familiar face, Isabelle instinctively replied, completely forgetting that she was Isabelle instead of Blood Shadow. 

Fortunately, Jim didn’t say anything. He assumed it was Isabelle’s personality. He comforted, “Alright, leave the rest to me.” 

Isabelle had gotten herself a lawyer with a call.

Timothy’s presence was too much for the principal and the school leaders to handle. On top of that, a lawyer had shown up at the scene. 

The math teacher was on the brink of collapse, 

Out of everyone, it was Leonard who was the most panicked of them all. 

The lawyer was Jim Carter from Convictus Legal 

Leonard was dumbfounded. 

He felt like he would be forced into early retirement, just like the math teacher. 

When Jim went to court, he did more than impress the client. When he outperformed, he could send the opposing lawyer to jail. 

Leonard had a bad feeling that when he woke up the next day, Norward High, which he had worked hard to run for more than 20 years, would be gone. 

He was genuinely terrified. 

And as if that wasn’t enough, before Leonard could catch his breath, the police had arrived. 

Looking at the room filled with those with Isabelle, Leonard was sweating profusely in the chilly weather of May. 

He stopped and resisted. As the principal, he began to plead on behalf of his students in a low voice, appealing to them emotionally. 

Leonard was on the verge of tears, telling Isabelle and Timothy how difficult his journey had be 

The other school leaders followed suit. The principal’s office was filled with pleas for mercy, a star contrast to the situation where they besieged Isabelle half an hour ago. 

Though Jim had mentally prepared himself and had been through many battles, he still found the situation a bit challenging, testing his professional abilities. 

He never thought that one day he would come to a school to fight a case of exam cheating 

What would be the reaction of his peers if they found out? 

He could probably guess through his assistant’s expression. 

Jim was overwhelmed with complicated emotions. 

Defendant, please maintain an appropriate distance from my client Jim dutifully shielded Isabelle 

behind him. 

Those who harm the school’s interests are not the so called poor students in your eyes, but rather those of you who fail to discern right from wrong and lack any sense of responsibility. You all are the real pests. Teaching and educating? You’re leading students astray. After saying this, Isabelle directly addressed her lawyer, “Mr. Carter, proceed with the normal procedure. I’m resolute in defending my

“Education has always been our country’s top priority Given today’s incident, I seriously doubt whether you are capable of properly educating the children and guiding them onto the right path. I’m taking this case to the Education Bureau. Leonard, you and your associates better be prepared to face the consequences of your actions.” Timothy spoke with passionate fervor, displaying a strong and imposing demeanour. 

Leonard’s face turned ghastly pale. 

Before returning to the classroom, Isabelle had a private chat with Jim. 

“We’re following the normal procedure, but if Mr. Carter really makes me go to court, I might have to question your professional competence,” Isabelle didn’t want to go to court over such a trivial matter to confront these despicable people. 

Who was there that Blood Shadow dared not kill? What was there that she dared not do? What building was there that she dared not blow up? However, the idea of an assassin standing in court to defend herself seemed absurd. 

“If that happened. I would question my own professional competence,” Jim was not a humorous person, especially with people he was not familiar with. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Yet, for some reason, the girl in front of him gave him a sense of déjà vu. 

Isabelle smiled and said, “Mr. Carter, I’m counting on you. I’ll transfer the legal fees to your account 

later. 

Jim raised his hand to stop her and stated, “Since you’re a friend of Yves, I can’t accept your money.” 

Isabelle replied, “This is this, and that is that. I’m not used to owing favours.” 

Jim nodded and said no more. He thought that Yves’ friend must be loaded, there was no point in refusing it. 

“Miss Jenkins, you remind me of a friend.” 

Isabelle remained silent, but instinctively raised her eyebrows. 

Her reaction was almost imperceptible, but Jim caught on to it. 

He looked into Isabelle’s eyes and said, “You really do resemble her.” 

“She’s a young girl about your age. Beautiful and strong, but unfortunately…” It was a pity that such a formidable person met a tragic fate. 

Seeing the sadness and regret in Jim’s eyes, Isabelle thought of her own fate and felt a pang of sorrow. But it was only for a moment, and what followed was hatred and a desire to kill. 

Jim had a feeling that Isabelle was anything but ordinary. At least, a friend of Yves’s couldn’t be ordinary. He was not a curious person, so he didn’t ask. 

He turned to Isabelle and said, “My friend, who was also a friend of Yves’s, was harmed: This incident had a significant impact on Yves. Since he introduced us, I assume your relationship with him is quite

decisions.” 

When Jim looked at Isabelle, he noticed she bore no resemblance to Blood Shadow, but this girl gave him a sense of familiarity, especially the look in her eyes. 

Jim thought it might be fate. Blood Shadow was gone but a girl who resembled Blood Shadow had appeared. Perhaps this could bring some solace to him and Yves. 

Act recklessly? Was Yves really willing to risk his life against Dark Shadow for her? Isabelle wondered. 

Just then, Timothy emerged and greeted Isabelle before shaking hands with Jim once again. Shamelessly, he asked for Jim’s business card and put it in his pocket with satisfaction. 

He then said to Isabelle, “Miss Jenkins, I’m here on behalf of Mr. Harris. I hope my sudden arrival didn’t startle you.” 

Mr. Harris? Jim glanced at Isabelle, slightly surprised. 

The only person in the world who could make the mayor act in such a manner was likely Mr. Harris from the Harris family in Taragon City. 

Isabelle had long suspected this. 

However, it never occurred to her that the Mr. Harris who sent Timothy here was not Sam. 

It was George.
