Chapter 892
Joseph was momentarily stunned.
nbsp;
Indeed, it had been many years since he last took on a case. If it weren't for the words Nathan had spoken in the hospital, he might not have appeared in court himself.
nbsp;
One must admit, Nathan's push had indeed driven both him and Cassie to the brink.
nbsp;
A deep-seated irritation and anger flashed through Joseph's heart, but upon deeper reflection, when Cassie had threatened him with Sophia, it had severed the last thread of their relationship.
nbsp;
Since Cassie had never known how to cherish it, why should he care?
nbsp;
"Alright, I know very well what I'm doing. You can leave now," Joseph said coldly.
nbsp;
After Nathaniel closed the door and walked out, he sighed. Originally, when he saw Joseph and Cassie reconcile, he hesitated about whether to tell Joseph the truth about the child when they remarried nbsp;eventually.
nbsp;
It seemed unnecessary now. Joseph would always unconditionally favor Megan. Even if he loved Cassie, it would still be the same. His protection of Megan had become instinctual. It was better this way, letting Joseph and Megan harm each other without hurting Cassie. He really couldn't bear to see it anymore.
nbsp;
Willow Creek Estates.
nbsp;
For the past two days, Cassie had been holed up at home, watching the surveillance footage from the dashcam, which made her dizzy. Fortunately, Laura was there to help, but both of them were exhausted and had barely slept.
nbsp;
In the afternoon, Jan brought news about the progress of Spencer's case. "The case has been scheduled for trial next Wednesday. The opposing lawyer is Joseph."
nbsp;
"Joseph?" Laura was so angry she nearly flipped the laptop in front of her. "Is he determined to go against you? Everyone in Madison knows Joseph has never lost a case. No matter how much evidence you find, he can twist the facts. With him defending Megan, there's no chance of winning."
nbsp;
Jan looked at Cassie with concern, sharing Laura's thoughts.
nbsp;
Cassie lowered her eyes, her thick, dark lashes hiding the dim light in them. "No matter how formidable Joseph is, he's only the best in Madison. Globally, there are always better lawyers. As long as they're willing to come, no amount of money is too much."
nbsp;
"Actually..." Jan hesitated. nbsp;"Joseph once went head-to-head with the world's second-ranked lawyer, and they ended in a tie. The current top lawyer globally is over sixty and has been retired for more than a decade. Even the world's richest man couldn't get him to come out of retirement for a case."
nbsp;
Cassie fell silent.
nbsp;
Laura was speechless. "So, in simple terms, Joseph is already considered the best in the world, right?"
nbsp;
"Pretty much." Jan nodded helplessly.
nbsp;
Laura also fell silent. She hadn't expected that Joseph, who had once defended Cassie and saved her, was now opposing her and trying to send Cassie's most trusted subordinate to prison.
nbsp;
"Don't give up any hope," Cassie said. "In the face of absolute evidence, even the best lawyer can lose. Since Joseph has never lost, I'll make him taste defeat at my hands."
nbsp;
Laura gave a thumbs up. "That's some bold talk."
nbsp;
Jan added, "Every lawyer who has gone up against Joseph has said the same thing, and they all lost miserably."
