    Ethan was eager to free himself for the arrival of a wealthy investor who intended to acquire a company worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He had no idea that the supposed big shot he was so anxious to impress was standing less than a meter away from him. Dylan had not expected the receptionist to treat him like an important client merely because he was wealthy, but he had expected a law firm of this reputation to judge a prospective client by the nature of his inquiry rather than the appearance of his clothes.

Rachel turned toward Dylan, her expression softening. “I'm sorry about that, Mr. Kingston. I'll find someone else who can assist you.” “That's all right,” Dylan repl

    Several hours later, Dylan arrived at the address Grace had provided. The law firm occupied several floors of an imposing commercial building in one of the city's most expensive business districts. Its exterior was a combination of polished stone, tinted glass, and earned in a month. Dylan surveyed the surroundings without showing any particular reaction.

    Several hours later, Dylan arrived at the address Grace had provided. The law firm occupied several floors of an imposing commercial building in one of the city's most expensive business districts. Its exterior was a combination of polished stone, tinted glass, and carefully maintained landscaping, giving it the kind of understated elegance favored by institutions that preferred their reputation to speak louder than their advertising. A discreet sign near the entrance displayed the firm's name in silver lettering. Dylan stepped through the glass doors and entered a spacious lobby. The first thing he noticed was the atmosphere.

A few lawyers crossed between the elevators and a corridor leading toward a ro
