Ten years later..

The courtroom buzzed with anticipation as Attorney Lee sauntered confidently to the front, her presence commanding attention.

Her client, David Harris, sat beside her, his expression a mix of anxiety and hope as the final hearing of his murder trial unfolded.

The prosecution had painted David as a cold-blooded killer, accusing him of murdering his employer, Tyler Takahashi in a fit of rage. But Attorney Lee knew the truth was far more sinister – and she was about to unleash it with savage precision.

With a flick of her wrist, Attorney Lee silenced the hall, her gaze piercing through the facade of lies woven by the prosecution. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you've been fed a tale of deceit and manipulation," she began, her voice dripping with disdain. "But let's cut through the bullshit, shall we?"

As she dissected the prosecution's case with ruthless efficiency, Attorney Lee exposed the true nature of Tyler Takahashi– a drug user and abuser fashion brand CEO who had not only exploited his employees but had also engaged in illegal activities behind closed doors.

"My client wasn't just defending himself that fateful night," she declared, her tone laced with contempt. "He was fighting for his life against a predator who would stop at nothing to protect his dirty little secrets."

With each piece of evidence she presented, Attorney Lee chipped away at the prosecution's narrative, revealing the cracks in their case and leaving no doubt in the jury's minds of David's innocence.

"Your honor, my client isn't just a victim of circumstance – he's a survivor," she proclaimed, her words echoing through the courtroom with the force of a thunderclap.

In a stunning twist, Attorney Lee called upon a surprise witness – a whistleblower who had uncovered damning evidence of the business owner's illegal activities. As the truth came to light, the courtroom erupted in disbelief, and David's innocence was irrefutably established.

The witness's appearance surprised everyone. It was Tyler Takahashi's obedient secretary. Since the secretary had been employed by him for two decades and everyone in the company is aware of his loyalty and subservience to their employer, they were all taken aback when they learned that he was the case whistleblower.

As this secretary would do anything for his employer, even if it meant sharing a dirty secret, everyone began to wonder how Attorney Lee had made him a whistleblower.

In addition, the secretary had knowledge of the CEO's illicit actions.

Attorney Lee, however, approaches these types of villains in a different way. She is a truth-seeker who would stop at nothing to uncover the truth, not just your typical lawyer defending her client. While many attorneys may focus solely on defending their clients, Attorney Lee operates on a different wavelength altogether.

She is a lawyer who delivers justice along with a dose of self-prescription to a conglomerate. With a hint of devious expediency, she guards her client. She's an astute and formidable attorney who shows the villain's true colors with ruthlessness.

Her reputation is that of the intimidating lawyer that you want to avoid getting into any legal trouble with, even if they are higher up in the legal system.

But make no mistake, Lee is no saint. She understands that in the world of law and order, sometimes one must be willing to get their hands dirty in order to achieve justice. She understands that the path to righteousness is not always straightforward, and she is unafraid to venture into the shadows to shine a light on the darkest truths. Her adversaries may fear her, but they also respect her for her unwavering dedication to her cause.
