After Prison, I Became The Billionaire's Chief Lawyer

Synopsis

I took the fall for Richard Grant's beloved, Julia Evans, and spent 1,095 days behind bars. The deal was simple: my father's surgery and 3 million dollars for me. But the day I was released, all I got was a bank card with only thirty grand in it. I called the hospital to ask about my dad. "Mr. David Lane? He passed away a year ago. His medical bills were never paid, and we've kept his things for you," the nurse said. The phone slipped from my hand. Just then, I saw Richard step out of a Bentley. Julia clung to his arm, her smile blinding. "Zelda, you've had a rough three years." Richard handed me a contract printed in gold letters, his face unreadable "Sign it. Be my chief lawyer," he said coldly. "Everything I own, legal or illegal, is yours to handle." I lifted my hand, rough and calloused from years in prison, and brushed my fingertips over the words "Chief Counsel" on the contract. A slow smile spread across my face. Fine, Richard. Your very lifeblood was mine now. I'd drag you into the hell I crawled out of.
