Chapter 479:
Candice went to Bettina’s office first. Bettina wasn’t there; she had something urgent to handle and had moved the partners’ meeting to the afternoon.
Walking out of Bettina’s office, Candice ran into Mona, who was looking for her.
Mona handed her a document.
“This is the humanitarian legal aid case assigned to you this month. The victim is a young woman who was raped. If you don’t want to take it, I can swap cases with you. The case I have this month is a custody case.”
Candice took the document from her.
“No, it’s okay. I don’t need to change it. I can handle it.”
Mona nodded in response, turned, and left.
After that, Candice went to her office and turned on her computer.
She looked through the document Mona had given her. Mona had carefully made some notes for the case.
The victim was an orphan named Belinda Haynes, who had grown up in an orphanage. She was only eighteen years old and looked lovely in her photo.
The offender’s name was Corless Warren.
Wait. His surname was Warren? That was a rare family name in Ploville.
Candice hurriedly looked him up online. She found out that Corless was the general manager of an investment company but also the heir to Warren Building Materials.
Cathy was the daughter of Warren Building Materials’ CEO. When they were in high school, Cathy had locked Candice in the cold storage and always made things difficult for her. It turned out that the offender was Cathy’s brother.
With a smug smile tugging at the corner of her lips, Candice thought this case had landed on her lap through divine intervention. It was time for Corless to pay the piper.
She wouldn’t let this scum get away with his crime.

Candice continued to review the document.
The victim, Belinda, had resisted fiercely at the time. According to the medical report, she had sustained many minor injuries. But Corless had spared no expense hiring an army of lawyers. At the moment, the situation was very disadvantageous to Belinda.
Corless’s legal team easily blamed the incident on Belinda, making it seem like the poor girl’s behavior caused the trouble in the first place.
Belinda had no money to hire her own legal counsel and could only rely on the court to provide humanitarian legal aid.
Fortunately, Hope Law Firm had taken on Belinda’s case. Currently, the odds were against the victim, but Candice believed she could find a breakthrough.
She went over the document thoroughly.
Gradually, she got lost in thought, recalling what had happened between her and Milton.
No wonder Mona asked if she wanted to switch cases. Belinda’s case felt too familiar, and it might cloud her judgment.
