In the past few months, Claire has been very cooperative with Lisa's arrangements. Whether it was accepting interviews, attending speeches, or participating in various large events, she performed exceptionally well. As a result, Lisa's status in the firm has risen significantly, and she is now referred to as the ace.
Lisa possesses a wide range of business skills; she is adept at manipulating public opinion to influence trials and excels in handling issues. She skillfully leverages the argument of women's societal disadvantages to maximize her defense capabilities. Many female celebrities and public figures specifically seek out Lisa for legal representation because her reputation has spread throughout both the legal and entertainment industries.
"Lisa Hopkins, our firm's ace," Mr. Yang proudly stated during an internal meeting. He looked at the firm's business reaching new heights, his face beaming with happiness. "Not only can she win cases, but she also garners media attention and support for our clients."
Lisa sat at the conference table, smiling as her colleagues praised her. She knew that all of this was due to her hard work and Claire's cooperation. Claire's case made her famous overnight, and she seized this opportunity to elevate both her own reputation and the firm's business to new heights.
"Lisa, you are truly amazing," a young lawyer said enviously. "I really hope to be as successful as you one day."
Lisa smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your kind words. However, success does not come overnight; it requires continuous effort and perseverance."
Her words were filled with confidence and wisdom, earning her even more respect from those around her. Lisa understood that her success stemmed not only from her abilities but also from her precise grasp of public opinion and social issues.
"We must always pay attention to social dynamics and understand people's needs in order to remain undefeated in the legal field," Lisa told her assistant after the meeting.
The assistant nodded in agreement, filled with admiration for Lisa's strategies and capabilities. Lisa's office was filled with various legal books and materials; she was not only well-versed in law but also deeply studied social psychology and media operations, all of which laid a solid foundation for her success.
"Claire's case is just the beginning," Lisa thought to herself. "I will use this opportunity to showcase my abilities to more people and take the firm's business to new heights."
However, what always worried Lisa was when Claire, this ticking time bomb, would suddenly explode. She knew full well that Claire's mental state was problematic, especially after bail; Lisa could see this more clearly now. Although Claire appeared calm and confident on the surface, Lisa knew that it was merely a thin veil hiding her inner turmoil.
Whenever Claire stood on stage, receiving applause and praise from the crowd, Lisa could always detect a hint of madness in her eyes. She reveled in the spotlight and attention; that desire was so intense that it could not be concealed. This inherent flaw, while contributing to their victories in court to some extent, also made Lisa acutely aware that such desire and madness could lead them into an abyss at any moment.
"The water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it." Lisa silently recited this phrase in her mind, feeling a twinge of unease.
She recalled Claire's demeanor after an event, completely entranced as she accepted fans' requests for autographs, her eyes sparkling with an unusual light. That light was not merely one of satisfaction; it was a combination of madness and vanity that sent chills down one's spine.
"Lisa, how do you think I performed today?" Claire asked with a beaming smile as she stepped off the stage.
"You were great, Claire. You did an outstanding job," Lisa forced a smile, yet she couldn't shake off the feeling of unease in her heart.
In the quiet of the night, Lisa often found herself sleepless, haunted by Claire's laughter and the cheers of her supporters echoing in her mind. She knew that Claire's mental state could collapse at any moment, which would bring unpredictable consequences for them both. She tried to discuss these issues with Claire, seeking to understand her true thoughts, but Claire always responded with a carefree smile and evasive words, leaving Lisa at a loss.
"Are you really okay?" Lisa once asked tentatively.
"Of course, I'm fine," Claire replied with a laugh. "You don't need to worry; I know what I'm doing."
However, Lisa's intuition told her that things were not that simple. She feared that the madness and anxiety within Claire would eventually erupt, destroying everything they had worked so hard to build. She knew she had to remain vigilant at all times and prevent this ticking time bomb from going off.
"I need to find a way to stabilize Claire," Lisa thought to herself, feeling a heavy pressure weighing on her.
The first method that came to Lisa's mind was money. For the old Claire, this would have been an absolute luxury. She was the kind of woman who had almost resorted to desperate measures; she would surely be unable to resist the allure of money. Although using material means to control someone didn't sit well with her at first, Lisa realized that it might be the only way to keep Claire steady.
Lisa began arranging various high-paying speaking engagements and endorsements for Claire, even signing several lucrative contracts that made people's mouths water. Claire started appearing at various celebrity gatherings, dressed in glamorous gowns and enjoying VIP treatment. Her difficult days seemed to have become a thing of the past; now she appeared to be living in a whole new world.
One day, Lisa walked into Claire's room with a new contract in hand, the amount staggering. The moment Claire saw the figure, an excited smile spread across her face; her eyes lit up as if she had glimpsed infinite hope.
"Is this for real?" Claire asked in surprise, her fingers gently touching the numbers on the contract.
"Of course it's real, this is just the beginning," Lisa replied with a smile. "You are a big star now, and this is all you deserve."
Claire happily accepted the large sum of money, her smile seemingly returning to its usual brightness in an instant. The days filled with anxiety and fear seemed to fade away with this influx of cash. Seeing this, Lisa felt a sense of relief in her heart.
"Lisa, you truly are my benefactor," Claire said gratefully, her eyes sparkling with appreciation.
"I just hope you can live well," Lisa said softly, but she understood that such comfort was only temporary. She knew that deep within Claire still lurked that madness, but at least for now, this money and fame could keep her calm.
As time passed, Claire began to enjoy this luxurious lifestyle. Her smiles became more frequent, and she increasingly cooperated with Lisa's arrangements. She appeared at various charity events, becoming a media darling and earning countless accolades.
Seeing Claire gradually stabilize, Lisa felt much of her unease dissipate. She knew that this approach might not be a long-term solution, but for now, she had found a way to keep Claire calm. She would continue to leverage these resources to maintain Claire's advantage in this game.
"Everything is under control," Lisa told herself, a glimmer of determination flashing in her eyes. "I will keep doing this until we truly achieve victory."
Holding the contract, Claire smiled brightly like a blooming flower. Her heart was filled with hope for the future, as if everything was getting better. She believed that this path would lead her to success and grant her the freedom and happiness she had always dreamed of.
However, behind all the glamour, Lisa remained vigilant. She knew that the madness and unease lurking deep within Claire could erupt at any moment. She had to stay alert to continue navigating through this dangerous game.
