The next afternoon, Mariela got a phone call.
The caller told her about the Herman Group’s latest situation.
“Many creditors filed claims in court. The Herman Group’s debt is now approximately 200
million.

“Jaime, the main shareholder, misused the company’s legal status and shareholder liability limits to avoid debts, badly hurting the creditors. Some creditor companies gave evidence to the court, asking Jaime to share the company’s debt.
“Jaime’s properties are sealed, valuable assets seized, and all bank accounts frozen.
“Perla hired a lawyer to write a divorce agreement this morning.”
Mariela wasn’t surprised by this.
Perla was used to a rich life; she couldn’t handle being poor.
Mariela asked, “What is the name of the lawyer she hired?”
The caller said, “Eva Vazquez from Vanguard Law Associates.”
Vanguard Law Associates.
Mariela knew them well.
After Lauryn invested in Vanguard Law Associates, she quit by herself.
When Lauryn was kicked out of the Stark family, Lennon checked her accounts.
The Stark family’s legal team recovered the money Lauryn invested in Vanguard Law Associates.
Mariela remembered Eva Vazquez.
Eva had a bad temper and often complained, taking out her frustrations on her assistant. She would yell over small things with harsh words. Gia was scolded by her to the point of crying many times.
Colleagues at Vanguard Law Associates said Eva had driven
away
several assistants.
Her assistants lasted barely a month, with some of the more temperamental ones quitting after
their just one day, giving up pay.
Gia stayed for a year after becoming a junior associate, enduring a lot.
Over that year, Gia frequently got blamed by Eva and ended up crying countless times from frustration.
Luckily, Gia got through it and switched to working at Crestwood Law Firm, always smiling and energetic.
