Chapter 486: Analyze Your Case

Sarah woke up early, prepared her breakfast, and ate it alone on her kitchen counter as usual. She heaved a frustrated sigh as she could still feel something aching inside her heart. She spent the night crying in her bedroom. She felt so hurt that she had no energy left at all but then she could not slack off as she must wrap up everything before leaving Sy Law Firm.

Thinking about her departure, her eyes started watering and tears rolled down her cheek which she wiped with her sleeve like a child as she sniffed hard. Sy Law Firm was her home for more than six months and she could not believe she had to leave just because of the sharp words she had thrown at Lana.

Plus, Liam... She felt something sharp slicing her heart into pieces whenever she thought of Liam and Lana. She was still hurting but her life must go on. She reflected on her behaviour last night and she realized that she had indeed gone overboard with her words when she spoke to Lana about her father.

However, she still believed that Lana did not deserve someone like Liam.

"Maybe I'm thinking too highly of myself..." she annoyingly murmured but for her, Liam was still too good for someone like Lana.

No matter what Lana's reason was for being away from Liam for so long, it was still unacceptable... to think that she was already married to Liam at that time. Lana was so mean in doing that to the man of her dreams.

"She does not know the meaning of commitment!" she hissed and did not finish her breakfast because she lost her appetite. She quickly prepared herself to go visit the Chua's.

Upon arrival at Chua's mansion, the helper guided Sarah to the balcony where Kenzie was doing her painting.

"Wow... You've improved a lot. You're more like a professional now..." she could not help but praise, seeing Kenzie's perfect painting of the view of the city from her balcony. Kenzie smiled, hearing her familiar voice.

She stood up and gave her a cheek to cheek kiss as she whispered, "Sarah..."

Kenzie pulled Sarah to sit beside her on her bench swing and instructed her nanny to bring them something to eat and drink.

Sarah grabbed her pen and notebook then looked intently at Kenzie and said, "So tell me... Uncle Jack said you got yourself into a mess."

Kenzie gave Sarah an awkward smile before she narrated the incident that happened at the in-house party.

"Those bastards! Don't worry I will make sure we will put them in their right places. Those stupid as*holes who only rely on their parents should learn a hard lesson. I will definitely make sure they end up behind the bars to the longest extent I could file! Those sh*tholes!!! Retards!" Sarah burst out with flaring nostrils.

Kenzie chuckled, hearing how Sarah cursed. She still did not change. Her sharp tongue and the way she was cursing now just did not match her delicate and innocent physical aura.

Sarah realized what she had said and muttered in embarrassment, "Oh sorry about my language."

"Nah, it's okay. You know you can always be yourself around me. I like you the way you are," Kenzie sincerely uttered.

Sarah gulped, suddenly feeling guilty because at some point she was annoyed with Kenzie. She had even cursed her mentally the moment she heard the news about the talks of an arranged marriage between her and Liam.

Well, she knew Kenzie was a sweet girl but then she thought she was a spoiled brat and not worthy enough for Liam. She sniggered unconsciously and mused, 'It's because I thought I was the only one deserving of Liam.'

Her shoulders dropped recalling the sad fact that she had gotten too ahead of herself. And not all things would end up the way she wanted it to be. It was also a good thing that she would leave the Sy Law firm because she would need to move on and it would be hard working with Liam after everything that happened. She was too embarrassed to do so.

She flinched when Kenzie snapped her fingers near her face.

"Hey, you're spacing out," Kenzie commented with a grin.

"Oh yeah, I'm sorry. By the way, that friend you mentioned who saved you. I need his name and need to talk to him as well," Sarah asked with a smile.

Kenzie gulped and hesitatingly muttered, "Daryl Cha."

"What? Daryl?!" Sarah burst. And then she recalled how Daryl crudely mentioned about getting back all the clients they lost, because of Kenzie's father.

'Daryl was absent for many days after that incident,' Sarah mused, wondering what happened.

Kenzie timidly nodded. Her cheeks turning so red that Sarah suddenly got curious about what was going on between the two?

"Did you know Daryl for a long time? I mean, have you two been friends from before?" she asked.

Kenzie dropped her shoulders and helplessly looked at Sarah as she said, "Sarah, I will be honest and tell you everything but please promise me that you will not tell my father about it. I want someone I can trust in my life... Sadly, I don't have any true friends despite the fact that I'm an extrovert who loves to go out and party with people.

Can we become close friends? I mean, can I confide in you about anything? I honestly look up to you because you're so independent... Something I'm not since I always depend on my father. You are good at everything while I'm only good at painting and arts..."

Sarah suddenly felt awkward hearing it.

"I'm not that great Kenzie. I have my weaknesses and can be a b*tch at times. You know I tend to talk trash about people as well. I have poor judgment mostly," Sarah said with a half-smile.

Kenzie chuckled and countered, "No one is perfect Sarah. You are independent... And I want to learn to be like that as well."

Sarah shook her head and said, "Alright, let's analyze your case first. So tell me everything, even the tiniest detail like how you and Daryl ended up knowing each other... I need such details since he is also a part of the case. No wonder Uncle Jack asked for my help even after knowing Daryl is a lawyer himself..."
