Jaida’s case involved a dispute over fairness,
The case was complicated, the evidence was lacking, and the risk of losing in court was significant. For Mariela, a young lawyer with just over three years of experience, this case was very challenging.
Jaida’s visit seemed to be about hiring Mariela for the case, but she had actually set a trap.
If Mariela refused the case, Jaida could question Mariela’s professional skills.
If Mariela took the case and lost, it would show that Mariela was not competent and not as good as Jaida.
In terms of career success, Jaida was far ahead of Mariela.
After discussing the case details, Mariela gained a basic understanding of it.
She reviewed the materials Jaida provided and got a good grasp of the situation.
Mariela asked calmly, “Are you asking me specifically to handle this case?”
Jaida smiled, “Yes, I trust you, Ms. Logan.”
“Our firm’s lawyers are all skilled, and their abilities are unquestionable.” Mariela’s expression stayed calm. “But since you asked me directly, I will accept it.”

Jaida was stunned.
In Mariela’s eyes, she saw courage, confidence, resilience, and vitality.
Before coming, she thought Mariela was just a figurehead relying on her family’s connections.
She didn’t expect Mariela to be so brave and confident.
“Alright.” Jaida’s view of Mariela changed.“Let’s sign the representation contract now.”
“Okay.”
After taking Jaida’s case, Mariela worked even
harder, giving up her weekend rest.
