After My Ex-Husband Sent Me to Prison, I Married His Brother - Chapter 10

After those two men left, Lin Yihuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She raised her hand to rub her forehead, then turned to grab her phone.

Since her sleep was already disturbed and she was safely out of custody, it was time to deal with reality!

During her time in detention, her work at the law firm must have been completely put on hold.

On top of that, considering the nature of her profession—a lawyer being accused of intentional homicide and taken to court—even though she was cleared, this still left a dark mark.

If this ever got dug up by someone with bad intentions, it could be used to smear the firm’s reputation.

So when Lin Yihuan called the head of the law firm, she was already prepared for the possibility of being fired.

“Hello? Lawyer Chen, it’s me, Lin Yihuan.”

To her surprise, the voice on the other end was warm and full of shock. “Lawyer Lin, you’ve been released already? So soon?”

Then Chen Xu mumbled to himself, “Well, he personally intervened, so that explains it—”

Lin Yihuan was confused. “What?”

“Nothing, nothing! It’s just good that you’re out. You weren’t mistreated in there, were you?”

“Thank you for your concern, Lawyer Chen. I wasn’t.”

He chuckled a few times, then spoke seriously. “Lawyer Lin, your sudden arrest really caused a huge uproar with your clients. They almost turned the firm upside down! I honestly had no choice in the end but to either replace you with a senior lawyer or compensate the clients according to contracts. So you…”

Actually, Lin Yihuan understood all this without him saying it.

She bit her lip in guilt and spoke softly, “I’m truly sorry for the huge financial loss I caused the firm. Please rest assured that even if I’m fired, I will do my best to repay that money.”

“Fired?” Chen Xu’s voice rose. “Who said we were firing you?”

“Then just now you—”

“I wasn’t finished! So you have to sign a long-term contract with our firm, until you’re promoted to a senior partner at Yihua Law Firm. That will count as compensation for this loss.”

Lin Yihuan was stunned. After a few seconds, she decided to be honest. “Aren’t you worried that my time in detention will hurt the firm’s reputation?”

“No!” Chen Xu answered firmly. “Since the truth is clear, and you were falsely accused, you shouldn’t have to suffer any more!”

Those words instantly made Lin Yihuan’s eyes burn red.

She was even choked up and speechless.

It turned out that in this world, besides the husband she once loved most—Zhou Jifeng—who refused to believe her, everyone else showed her kindness.

“Thank you… really, thank you!”

“Don’t say that! When can you come back to work? If you need a few more days to rest…”

“No need. I’ll be back at the firm tomorrow.”

She wasn’t just trying to make up for the loss. More importantly, she wanted to return to a normal life as soon as possible.

A life that no longer revolved around Zhou Jifeng.

“Good. See you tomorrow! The firm will hold a welcome back party for you. Let’s forget those unhappy things and start fresh!”

After hanging up, Lin Yihuan wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

“Yes, I should forget those unhappy things and start fresh!”

She pulled herself together, quickly tidied up the room, changed her clothes, and prepared to go out to buy something for the empty fridge.

As she just walked downstairs, her eyes were caught by a tall, slender figure.

Zhou Linze?

Why was he still here…?
