A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Chapter 467

Freddy was angry that Audrey was about to leave, so he deliberately handed over all the recently suppressed cases to Audrey.

Audrey did not even frown as she took the case folders over.

"Alright."

Freddy intentionally wanted to make things difficult for Audrey. But Audrey looked as if she was resigned to her fate. Freddy glared at Audrey hatefully, and then turned around and returned to his office.

Some colleagues did not know about Audrey's resignation. Seeing Freddy suddenly give so many cases to Audrey, they were all extremely surprised.

One of her colleagues walked to Audrey. "Audrey, why does Mr. Steele give so many cases to you? He... never gives you such small cases in the past, right?"

It had to be known that Audrey was now one of the best lawyers of Square Law Firm. Every case she received was a big one. How could she be the one to handle such a small case of disputes that someone had been scratched by cats? It was inevitably surprising.

Audrey said disapprovingly, "A lawyer could handle either big or small cases. Why can't I accept the small ones?"

The asking colleague was speechless.

Brenda, who was sitting behind Audrey, took her bag and prepared to leave. She passed by Audrey while glancing at her coldly. And Brenda said to the colleague who asked Audrey questions, "She is going to have a richer employer now. Why should she bother to accept big cases from her old employer?"

The colleague's eyes were wide open.

"Really? Which law office is Audrey going to join?"

Brenda looked at Audrey with interest. But Audrey said with just the hint of a smile, "Brenda, you don't have to intend any sarcasm. As I said before, I want to rest for some time. As for changing my employer, it is nonsense."

"Actions speak louder than words. Do I believe in your words? No. And I don't believe that you will leave the job behind as a lawyer and go to rest."

Audrey didn't look at Brenda anymore. She opened the files beside her. "Excuse me. I need to study the documents. Could you guys just..."

Brenda glared at Audrey and walked to the door in her high heels.

The news of Audrey's resignation spread throughout the entire law firm because of the conversation. After they left, several lawyers came to ask Audrey for the real reason. But Audrey refused to tell them.

Everyone in the law firm unanimously had the same guess. It was that Audrey was probably leaving the firm. And because she was going to leave, she became arrogant and looked down on her former colleagues.

At noon, everyone went to have lunch. Audrey was still sitting at the computer desk while processing the documents in her hands.

Suddenly, her mobile phone rang.

Audrey didn't even look at it before picking up the phone and placing it between her ear and shoulder.

"Audrey is speaking."

Bryson's voice came from inside.

"Are you busy?"

Audrey recognized Bryson's voice, and her lips curled into a sweet smile.

"Yes, I suddenly got a dozen legal cases in my hands. I am busy looking at the specific details of the cases."

"Suddenly? How?"

"Well, no big deal. My resignation is too sudden for the firm. So the boss assigns small cases rather than big ones to me!" Audrey sounded like she had seen through everything. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Have you already handed over your resignation letter?"

"Yes, Mr. Steele has signed my resignation application. I will leave the law firm in a few days."

"Do you need to give it a second thought?"

Audrey held the phone in one hand and pinched the sore bridge of her nose with the other hand. She leaned against the back of the chair and answered the phone.

"This morning... I saw Julian."

Bryson's voice suddenly turned grim. "What did he tell you?"

"Nothing. He couldn't bully me anymore. Instead, he was frightened by me. However..." Audrey said, "He probably won't let this go. And I am afraid that the first one to suffer is Square Law Firm."

"I can help Square Law Firm get rid of Julian's threat."

"No need." Audrey laughed. "I will always be an employee in it. So... I'm prepared to open a law firm myself."

"You want to run a law firm yourself?" Bryson asked suspiciously.

Audrey nodded. "Are you doubting that I am not qualified to have my law firm?"

"No. You have the very qualifications and strengths to have your own firm. Have you already chosen a site for your firm?"

"I'm still considering it."

Bryson pondered for a moment.

"If you leave now and start your law firm, I'm afraid that Square Law Firm will..."

"Since I have already decided to quit my job, I have naturally thought of the consequences. Whatever will come in the future, I will deal with it. As a lawyer, I am professional. I believe that I will not be the one to lose."

"I believe you too."

Audrey said with a smile, "I'm busy right now, so I can't accompany you for lunch. But you have to remember to eat."

"You haven't eaten lunch, right? I'll get someone to send it to you."

"No need. I was preparing to order a takeaway."

"Alright then." Bryson urged, "And you have to remember to rest."

"Yes, sir."

...

Three days later, it was the day that Audrey officially left Square Law Firm. She sat in her seat and packed up her things. In the entire law firm, only Lucy was standing beside Audrey with concern.

Audrey had known the superficiality of colleagues' relationships.

"Audrey, are you leaving?"

Audrey replied with a faint smile as she packed her things, "Yes, my contract has expired."

"I can't bear to part with you, Audrey."

Brenda, who was standing behind Audrey, mocked, "Audrey has a better choice. I would not stay here in the firm if I were her. Besides, you are only an intern lawyer as long as Audrey remains here. If she leaves, you will get your chance to be a real lawyer."

Lucy looked at Brenda with a hint of anger. "Audrey is not a person like that. She must have her reasons to resign. She has always been straightforward and upright. On the contrary, Brenda, you have been slandering Audrey in the firm these days. You have gone too far."

Brenda scoffed. "You argue in favor of her, don't you? Let's see what you can say after she goes to another law firm."

Audrey only smiled in response to Brenda's sarcasm without saying anything.

After packing up her things, Audrey handed Lucy a notebook, which recorded important cases that Audrey had experienced during those years in the firm. These experiences might help Lucy be a good lawyer effectively.

Before Audrey left, she went to Freddy's office and handed the key to her drawer to Freddy.

Freddy didn't turn to look at her.

Audrey knew that Freddy was still angry with her. She finally left the office after a bow to Freddy.
