Allison gave the door a gentle knock.
"Cin," cthe reply.
Without wasting any time, Allison walked in and got straight to the point. "Pierce, I'm thinking of resigning."
Pierce looked stunned. "What's this about? Why are you leaving on the very first day back after the New Year?"
Not too long ago, Allison and Pierce had gone on a business trip to Southern Ridge, and she effortlessly secured
a decade-long contract with Infinique Ventures for case representation and legal advice. She was practically the
firm's lucky charm, and Pierce was loath to see her go.
Allison didn't sugarcoat her reasons. "Lillian and | have spersonal issues. | can't work under her."
Despite the glossy facade, these non-partner lawyers were just employees of the firm. Every case they handled

there to gain experience. But now, with Lillian climbing the ranks to becone of the bosses, every case
Allison took would mean working for Lillian, who would likely give her a hard time.
Pierce felt a headache coming on hearing about Allison's personal clash with Lillian.
Lillian had cin with a massive investment of eighty million, and having such a financially powerful partner
had Pierce dreaming big. Plus, Lillian was the adopted daughter of the Fisher family. If they could forge a
connection with the Fishers through her, the firm could not only maintain its status as Oak Lake's top firm but
could even aim for national prominence.
But Allison had just landed the firm's biggest deal ever, and the thought of losing her was a tough pill for Pierce
to swallow.
"Pierce, don't stress about it. I've made up my mind. I'll be wrapping up my work in the next few days."
"Allison, are you absolutely sure?
Summit & Vale Solicitors is the best in Oak zake. Our benefits and career prospects are second to none. You'd be
hard-pressed to find anything better."
Allison shook her head softly. "I've made my decision."
She had her next steps mapped out. Leaving Summit & Vale Solicitors, she would launch her own law firm After
gaining valuable experience over the past months, she felt Ready. With her connections and resources, she was
confident she could attract top-notch lawyers and fresh talent from prestigious schools, and elevate her firm to
surpass Summit & Vale Solicitors as Oak Lake's leading firm.

family's adopted daughter.
Allison realized that building her career was the real priority.
Three days later, Allison wrapped up her handover and officially left Summit & Vale Solicitors.
Joy, visibly upset, had reddened eyes.
"Ms. Allison, are you really leaving?"
Allison smiled, giving Joy a warm hug, and whispered, "I'm starting my own firm.
Once you get your law license, I'd love to have you join me."
Joy's eyes sparkled, her tears drying up instantly. "Yes! I'll definitely join!"
"I'll be waiting." Allison patted Joy's shoulder with a smile. "Soon enough, you'll be Attorney Joy. | can't wait to
have you on board."
