When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1279

After giving it some thought, I asked, “Did you start the law firm to fulfill my wish, or do you have other reasons?”

“Both. It will guarantee that no one can make things difficult for you, and it also has a role to play within the Stovall family.” John paused for a moment as his gaze became serious. “Uncle Louis has begun to make his move. After this, we will need a law firm we can control in anticipation of future lawsuits.”

I nodded in acknowledgment. Despite how good John was to me, that reason alone wasn’t enough to have invested so much. It appeared that this law firm would have an important role to play in the future.

Perhaps, this might be the last place I’m able to showcase my talents.

After pondering upon it, I decided to accept John’s arrangement. “Fine, I’ll do it on one condition.”

“Go ahead. Even if you have ten, it won’t be a problem at all.” John acted generously as he was in a good mood.

“Get that famous designer of yours to redesign the logo. As someone who hasn’t officially become a practicing lawyer, it would be preposterous to have my name on the sign. It would be more appropriate to use the Stovall name instead,” I explained.

Although Brooklyn didn’t fully introduce himself just now, he was likely a very experienced lawyer given his demeanor. To have him work under me would be too much to ask of him. Furthermore, to have the law firm named after me would be terrible for staff unity.

John readily agreed without a word of protest. “Sure. I’ll get him to redo it until you’re satisfied.”

“You don’t have to go back to him. Just leave it to me.” Suddenly interested, Emma remarked with her hands on her hips, “Scarlett, what do you think about leaving this to me?”

“Is business at your company that bad? That you need to rely on friends for work?” John teased while raising his eyebrows in curiosity.

“What do you care?” Emma rolled her eyes at him as she walked over to hold my arm. “This is between Letty and me. What’s wrong with me doing this for free as it will be my gift for her grand opening?”

“Free?” John furrowed his eyebrow, skeptical of her words. “The logo represents the company’s image. The design firm you work for is considered mediocre in K City. Are you sure you are able to design something that lives up to the Stovall Corporation’s standards?”

As for Emma, she couldn’t wait to prove herself. Therefore, she returned to her office to work overtime, ignoring the fact that it was her day off.

As they took their leave one by one within half an hour, I was the only person left in the office.

“Those two really hate each other’s guts,” I couldn’t help but complain.

“Ms. Stovall.” Brooklyn suddenly entered with a bunch of documents in his hands. Standing right in front of me, he placed them on my table.

“There are three cases here that involve contract disputes between some small companies. I’ve gone through them and found them straightforward enough. I reckoned they will likely not cause you too much trouble.”

Before I could be called to the bar, I needed to complete ten cases independently. It appeared that John had informed Brooklyn about this.
