'OMG! OMG!! OMG!!! Am I dreaming?'
Rachel pinched herself to be sure, and no, it was real. A reality she didn't want to escape. She immediately called Lili to share the good news. 'LILI, I GOT IN NEXUS LAW FIRM!' The excitement was overwhelming, her happiness palpable through the phone. 'HOLD ON, I'M COMING RIGHT NOW!' Lili's excitement mirrored her own. It was a big moment, something she had been yearning for—a taste of happiness. Even if it was fleeting, she had found it.
She rushed downstairs to tell Ming. The house was soon filled with joy, but Rachel didn't forget her deeper mission: to reopen her grandparents' case and to bring justice to this lawless land.
'Rachel, remember, the law is like a web of corruption. Only the strong wasps will be able to break through, and the weak will be engulfed by it,' YeeJin cautioned.
'I know. I'll get to the bottom of this,' Rachel said, determined. 'I'll go there beforehand to meet the senior partner.'
'OOOH YEAH!' Everyone turned to see the source of the excitement. Rachel rolled her eyes. 'Lili, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT—'
'Oh, come on. I'm just here to congratulate you.'
'Yeah, yeah. I know why you're here.' Rachel grabbed Lili's hand and pulled her upstairs. 'Guys, I'll be back in a while.'
'Lili, stop simping over that guy and focus on your career.' Rachel crossed her arms, staring at Lili in disbelief.
'Rach,' Lili sighed. 'I'm not here to talk about Lu Si Cheng.' Her concern was evident. 'I'm worried about you. This world, it's—' Her hands trembled with adrenaline. 'Horrible.'
