come in, and he pursed his lips.
“The people from the D.A.
are here.
I’ve got work to do.
Foggy, you can go talk to them yourself.”

Everyone looked over and saw a man and a woman in standard work attire walking over.

The person in the lead was a Latin American woman in her forties, and a black man in his early thirties was one step behind her.

Foggy’s expression changed, and he turned back to Karen.
“How do I look? There’s no problem, right?”

Karen looked him up and down and nodded.
“No problem.
Why are you suddenly nervous?”

“That’s Samantha Reyes, the D.A.
boss.” Luke shook his head.
“Foggy, you better prepare yourself.
I’m afraid she’s not here to negotiate with you.”

Foggy paused in tidying himself up.
“Huh?”

Luke said, “I heard that she’s ruthless at humiliating others.
Also, three assistant district attorneys were replaced in two years; they were all fired after making mistakes.”

Foggy’s face fell.
“I’ve heard that too, thank you very much.”

A person with this kind of reputation didn’t sound like someone who was easy to deal with, not to mention that the other party was the district attorney herself.

Even though he said that, Foggy calmed his thoughts and walked over with a smile.

Five minutes later, Selina held back her laughter as she whispered into Luke’s ear, “That fatty Foggy is really bold.
He even dares to talk back to the district attorney? And he even called the federal prosecutor to ask about it.
Haha, Reyes’s face is turning black.”

Luke nodded.
“The matter’s still up in the air.”

That was true.

Foggy greeted her with a smile, but Reyes had no interest in listening to him introduce himself.
After interrupting him, she instructed her assistant to take Grote away.

That was right, she had given her assistant the order, and hadn’t spoken to Foggy, as if she was certain that this small lawyer would never dare oppose her.

In the end… she was slapped in the face.

Foggy sensed that the woman was trying to bypass him and take Grote away, and immediately fought back.

He raised the legal clause that the D.A.
had no right to interfere with witness protection, and threatened to bring up this violation with the federal prosecutor.

Reyes’s expression at the time was extremely interesting.
Not only was her face dark, it was also full of confusion.

She didn’t expect that there really would be a lawyer rash enough to dare clash with her.

Her actions were definitely against the rules, but most junior lawyers didn’t dare clash with the D.A., or they would be tormented by the D.A.’s office until they went crazy.

American lawyers, the D.A.
and the police tended to be more cooperative than confrontational with each other.

Many big lawyers weren’t just good at defense, but had a close relationship with both sides.
They could easily do things that other lawyers couldn’t.

For example, where a small lawyer couldn’t bail someone out of custody, a big lawyer could.

Where a small lawyer couldn’t reach a plea bargain with the D.A., a big lawyer could.

With enough money, a big lawyer could easily get a client out of the police station and scot free after going through the D.A..
And, it was completely legal.

On the contrary, if a lawyer offended the D.A., he would be blacklisted by the district attorney’s office, and the lawyer would have to exhaust all his energy in every case.

Not to mention, most district attorneys had close connections with the police department.
After all, one party arrested suspects while the other convicted them; it wasn’t unusual for police officers to switch to working for the D.A..

Foggy acting like this hence didn’t make sense.
