Chapter 480 You Were Nice Too

• "You must be the famous lawyer that Callum often talks about. What a capable young man you are!" Anyone could utter the same polite words, yet Margot sounded especially sincere with the tone that she used. She was right—Hank's abilities were practically undefeated in the whole of Damoria. At the young age of 23, he was already widely known as the lawyer with the silver tongue, and the public wasn't even aware of the other secret identity that he had. Most people would maintain a respectful and cautious attitude toward people like Hank, who had such a mysterious persona.
• "You're too nice, Mrs. Winthrop. I'm not that amazing." Hank smiled and spoke in a clear voice, yet he sounded rather distant even as he spoke. "How could you say that? We all know the great things you've achieved…" They continued chatting for a while before it was time for dinner. All of them took their seats at the dining table, and they hung their heads low as they ate dinner. For the most part, the dining room was filled with silence.
• After the meal, Hank and Yelena prepared to leave the house. However, Max stopped Yelena right before they left. "Can I talk to you for a while, Yelena?" Yelena tensed up as she responded in a shaky voice, "I don't think that's a good idea. It's getting late. You can call me if you have anything to say," she replied. She found it hard to spend time with Max in private.
