Landon Hawthorne's face was etched with fury after he finished reading the news.
Riley was a lawyer at Gold Law Firm who had recently been promoted to "Gold Medal Lawyer" and was also the firm's brand ambassador for the current quarter.
With Riley's scandal now exposed, Gold Law Firm was bound to suffer a major blow.
Landon Hawthorne had known about Riley's lawsuit. From the start, he hadn't approved of it. The other party was a pregnant woman, visibly so, and he worried that if something went wrong, the unborn child, an innocent life, would suffer.
However, many people had defended Riley. They claimed the pregnant woman had falsely accused her, that Riley was the one who had been wronged, and that the woman was exploiting her pregnancy to act outrageously.
They argued it was unfair that Riley, a lawyer, couldn't even get legal protection for her own family when someone hit them and refused to take responsibility or admit fault.
