"Thanks to me?" Lemira asked, confused.

"Because you're brilliant enough to hire a top-tier lawyer like me. Without me, your high-and-mighty ex-boyfriend could have tried intimidating the Joneses all he wanted, and it still wouldn't have worked."

"Well then, thank you, Attorney Bennett."

Sebastian smirked with a touch of pride. "By the way, your third brother is Rowan Langston, right? He's the one who contacted Gregory. He's probably trying to strike a deal too, claiming he's invented some drug that reverses aging. Is any of that actually legit?"

"Ah, that."

Lemira remembered hearing about it in her past life. The drug eventually caused severe, irreversible side effects.

Her tone was cool as she replied, "What do you think?"

"I think it's just a delusion people desperately want to believe." "Exactly. It's a delusion."

She hung up the phone. She knew exactly what Rowan's so-called research was in her past life—a massive scam designed to milk money out of desperate billionaires.

Rowan wasn't some medical genius. The only reason he had managed to join that elite island laboratory in the first place was because she had previously secured a rare ancient medical text for him.

He had used her discovery as his ticket into that research team.

And yet, his ultimate repayment was putting her on an operating table and stealing her kidney.

Lemira wasn't going to expose his fraud just yet.

In fact, she thought it might work in her favor right now. These wealthy men were obsessed with the idea of regaining their youth. If Rowan could use it to distract Gregory Jones, maybe the man would drop his alliance with the Sinclairs.

Stella walked over. "Lemira, I checked around for you. It's true-Sophia has latched onto that spa mogul."

Janice leaned in, her eyes wide. "That spa guy? I've heard of him. His son is absolute garbage too. Didn't he get sued for assaulting a girl? But some slick lawyer got him off the hook Lawyers like that makeme sick!"

Lemira cleared her throat and gave Janice a sideways glance. "That slick lawyer is currently representing me."

Janice gasped in horror. "Lemira, a-are you sure about this? That guy is awful! He defended a total scumbag, and the poor girl ended up trying to kill herself."

Lemira was surprised. "She died?"

"No, but the trauma broke her. She's in a psychiatric ward right now. It's so tragic. That bastard ruined her life, and she still lost the case."

Lemira recalled Sebastian briefly mentioning the incident before.

She hadn't realized the details were that dark.

Stella chimed in, "Honestly, lawyers don't always get to cherry-pick their cases Sebastian might have " terrible reputation, but he's incredibly skilled in the courtroom, especially with messy, complicated trials."

Janice nodded slowly. "That makes sense. But you still need to be careful, Lemira. Don't let a guy like that play you."

Lemira smiled. "I know. Don't worry."

Janice turned her attention back to Stella. "Spill the tea. What's the latest with the Sinclairs? What are those two-faced witches up to now?"

"Sophia is getting engaged to a man old enough to be her father. Because of that the Sinclair family has suddenly bounced back. The guy has dirty hands, so he's definitely going to cause trouble for us."

Lemira let out a cold laugh. "He already has. He nearly stole the flash drive and tried

to have our only witness killed."

"Sophia is so arrogant. How could she settle for a guy like that? Is throwing away the rest of her life just to keep her mom out of prison really worth it?"

Janice couldn't wrap her head around Sophia's logic.

Stella crossed her arms. "I know a bit of the backstory. Sophia's mother is a master manipulator, a classic two-faced hypocrite. Someone that selfish is never going to just accept going to jail."

"Even so, I've never heard of a mother pushing her own daughter into the fire just to save herself. The Sinclairs are insane."
