Zach just chuckled at Collins, shaking his head, "He won't get far."

Collins, even more puzzled by Zach's cryptic assurance, wanted to press for more details but held back, seeing Zach wasn't in the mood for elaboration. "Well, I'm off to find Jay and his brother. If he refuses to come clean, I'm going straight to the cops."

Zach nodded, "Do what you gotta do, but make it quick."

Collins stood up, muttered an "Alright," and left the law firm, his mind swirling with questions.

For years, Leo had been well-protected within their circle, not just because of his connections with the Davis family, Emmitt, and Zach, but Collins always suspected there was some other unseen force at play. He had once prodded Leo for answers, but Leo had kept his lips sealed.

After Collins left, Zach remained in his chair, lost in thought.

A knock on the door broke his reverie, and soon his assistant entered, holding a letter.

The assistant placed the letter on the desk in front of Zach. Zach's gaze fell on it, and his eyebrows quirked up, "What's this about?"

It was the formal complaint letter sent to Michelle's agency.

The assistant glanced cautiously at his boss's expression before speaking up, "Michelle's management says the information about your sister, Ms. Mirabella, isn't exactly top-secret. Everyone's in the loop, so there's no alleged breach of privacy. That's why they've sent this letter back."

Zach leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing behind his glasses, his voice turning sharp, "No breach of privacy, huh? And they've got the nerve to send the letter back? So they're siding with the Wu clan now, are they?"

Normally, even if a company dismissed a complaint, they wouldn't return the legal notice. But here it was, sent back like a slap in the face.

The assistant cleared his throat, continuing, "Thing is, I did some digging on this Michelle. She's got some heavy hitters in her corner, ties to the Pledger family over in Riverdale, so... Mr. Sharp, should we reconsider the lawsuit against her?"

Their firm was a heavyweight in the legal world, but even so, an arm can't wrestle a thigh, and going head-to-head could spell trouble.

Zach chuckled at the advice, straightening up and slamming his hands on the desk with a forceful bang, "Reconsider my ass!"

The Pledger family of Riverdale sure put on airs.

His assistant, startled by his boss's uncharacteristic outburst, steadied his nerves and tried to reason in a low voice, "But the Sharp family is a top-tier business in the city. Plus, the Pledger family isn't to be trifled with. I get you want justice for your sister, but we really need to weigh our options here."

The assistant had the firm's best interest at heart, which Zach understood, but could he really just let the matter of his sister's reputation slide? Not a chance.

"Heh, if they want to bring the Pledger family into this, then let someone from the Pledger family come and apologize to my sister," Zach said coldly.

He had only intended to pursue whoever tarnished his sister's reputation, but if the Pledger family was going to insert themselves into the mix, well, that was their mistake.

The assistant gaped at his boss, having tried to convey the seriousness of not provoking the Pledger family, only to find that it had stoked Zach's fury instead. He quickly added, "Mr. Sharp, this isn't something to joke about."
