Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208
The result of the negotiation naturally ended in an unpleasant parting.
Walking out of the revolving door of the building, the sunlight outside was intense. Purple Sumrs waited for the driver to bring the car around and noticed Maeve standing a few steps away, seemingly also waiting for her ride.
Since they encountered each other, it wouldn’t be right to pretend not to see her.
The two exchanged glances and smiled politely at each other.
Unexpectedly, Maeve took the initiative to approach and said with a smile, “It’s a pity we couldn’t reach a settlent today.”
Purple thought to herself: You all probably hoped for a failed diation, right? If we reconciled, how would we proceed with a lawsuit?
“Yes, it’s a pity,” Purple replied.
You don’t hit a smiling face with your fist, and besides, the conflict of interest was between the two parties involved, Purple and Maeve had no personal grudge.
Maeve said, “Your client is quite the rarity.”
“In what way?” Purple asked.
“Does it have sothing to do with her profession? She seems to view life and death indifferently, willing to give up a life just like that,” Maeve said with a smile, “A 7-month induced labor must have been very harmful to her body as well. The average woman wouldn’t have the courage to go through with it.”
“Being a surgeon doesn’t necessarily an one should be indifferent to life and death. By that logic, a police officer can also remain indifferent in the face of a murderer, can’t they?” Purple said, “It just ans you have different perspectives. You see life as invaluable, she sees the dignity of life as paramount.”
Maeve asked, “Isn’t the dignity of life precisely about ensuring individuals are not hard?”
“Hmm, perhaps…” Purple looked at the approaching vehicle and said lightly, “But in her view, allowing life to enter the world expected and loved, that’s the dignity of life.”
“Mr. Smith very much anticipated and cared about his child.”
“Yes, but his expectations and care can’t be translated into practical actions. Once the child is born, my client would be the one bearing the burden of raising and the pressures of life, while Mr. Smith would perhaps still be out binge-drinking and returning ho late.”
At this mont, Purple’s car had arrived before her.
Maeve sighed slightly and said, “It seems we won’t be able to beco friends, which is a sha. I’ve read your court records, you’re a very capable person. When I was your age, I was still running errands for senior lawyers in a law firm.”
Purple thought: Suddenly praising , is this an attempt to win over?
“You’re still young, with a bit of polishing, you will have an even brighter future.” Maeve smiled at her, “Consider it. For a lawyer, advancing the creation of a new law is the highest honor. Every word in a court hearing will be recorded in history.”
This was indeed a tempting idea.
Tis progress quickly, but the law tends to lag behind.
Take the missing pet protection law, for example. It’s not that people don’t care about pets, but a few decades ago, many couldn’t even solve their own basic living needs. Who had the ti to legislate for pets?—
But once it enters the bill stage, gets voted on, and the president signs it, a new law is officially established, and the lawyer who pushed for it will be famous far and wide.
Maeve’s words of being recorded in history were not an exaggeration. In the future, when law school students study this law, they will see its journey from nothing to sothing, and the individuals who promoted it will be docunted and rembered.
Purple realized that this lawyer nad Maeve was indeed ambitious and idealistic.
She wanted to respond: The president’s daughter doesn’t need a future.
But just as she was about to speak, she rembered what Alexander Sumrs had once said to her: “Your future is to marry .”
Rembering the past, Purple’s lips curled into a slight smile, showing a trace of amusent.
Maeve, seeing no response and Purple’s bemused expression, felt a mont of being ignored, and her face showed so displeasure.
They were all adults; there was no need to break the cordiality over this matter. Maeve smiled lightly and said nothing more.
However, when the car stopped in front of them, Maeve’s expression briefly crumbled—
“Roy Howard?!” Maeve was shocked.
