Abigail nodded. She had never expected the first case she handled to be so eye–opening.
After talking to Felix, Abigail carefully read the information about the case.

every way and even drove her and the daughter out of the house.
Abigail knew how destructive a man’s school crush could be.
Just like Michelle. She shed a few tears and easily got Anthony’s love without saying anything.
Abigail had thought she was unlucky, but she hadn’t expected. there to be so many unlucky women nowadays in the world.
After reading the entire case, Abigail was in a bad mood.
Before she got off work, Abigail sent a message to Amy.
She booked a private room in the club and enough food and drinks for the whole group.
Following that, Abigail sent the address to her colleagues, who hurried over after work.
As Abigail was the hostess, she told Felix she would go to the club earlier.
Felix agreed readily and came with her.
When they got there, the others had not arrived yet. The two of them sat on the sofa and waited. Seeing that Abigail was absent–minded, Felix sat next to her.
“What’s wrong? What’s on your mind?”
Abigail sighed softly, “I suddenly feel a little confused.”

Felix poured a glass of wine and looked at her seriously.
“What are you confused about?”
Abigail pressed her lips.

“I chose law as my major because I thought that everyone was equal before the law and that the law was for justice. But sometimes, I don’t understand why even the children of a home. wrecker have equal inheritance rights. What kind of justice is this? What kind of equality is this?”
Felix knew that Abigail was affected by the case.
He said nothing, listening carefully.
Abigail paused and continued.
“The low marriage rate and birth rate have become hot issues in society. Many people and experts even point the finger at women, saying that women should not receive higher education and should not be independent. Only in this way will they not wake up and continue to be obedient wives.
“But how can one refuse the thing that is beneficial to him? How can women not marry if they have basic rights in marriage, not to mention benefits?”
Felix nodded slightly. “Go on.”
Abigail added, “I have a say in this. I just wanted to get my share

when I got divorced, but I have to go through so much trouble to get back what belongs to me.”
Considering such basic circumstances and such laws, it took a lot of courage to take such a step.
In fact, it was not difficult to take this step. It took more courage to turn back after finding one had gone astray.
For a moment, Abigail was filled with mixed feelings. She toyed with the fork absent–mindedly.
Felix took a sip of wine and said, “Abigail, do you think the society is unfair, and the law is unjust because of this case? So you start to wonder if you were right in choosing what you used to be proud of, right?”
Abigail nodded.
Felix continued, “Let me ask you. What would you do when you saw similar cases if you hadn’t studied law?”
Abigail was baffled for a moment.
She would feel indignant and wanted to do something, but it seemed she could only gossip about it or say something on the Internet to rouse attention.
But most people chose to treat it indifferently when faced with such injustice. As long as it didn’t happen to them, no one would really care.

question is what you will do now that you are a law student and happen to take over this case.”
“Of course, I will do my best to gain more benefits for the mother and daughter.”
Felix nodded. “That’s right. Sometimes, you might not make the right choice, but since you choose it, you have a reason to do it.”
Abigail seemed to understand what Felix meant.
There might not be absolute fairness in this society, and nothing could be perfect.
She studied law just because she wanted to use legal means to fight for the rights and interests of poor people.
This was meaningful, not studying law.
Seeing that Abigail’s face softened a little, Felix continued, “Abigail, remember, what’s important is not what society is like, but what you are like. You study law and become a lawyer because you want people who suffer injustice to have a good ending. This is the meaning of doing this.”
It dawned on Abigail.
She instantly felt better.
If everyone hated injustice, they should stand up, fight back, and try their best to change it instead of retreating, dodging, and
Chapter 92 The Meaning being confused.
After thinking this through, Abigail seemed to become more determined after the moment of confusion.

Before the two of them could say anything more, the door of the private room opened. Sophia arrived, followed by the others.
As the music in the private room went up, the party officially began, and everyone looked at Felix.
“Mr. Rowe, you are our leader. Please say a few words first so we can get started,” Sophia spoke first.
Everyone followed suit.
It could be seen that although Felix was the boss of the firm, he was on good terms with the staff, who didn’t seem to fear him.
They got along like friends.
Felix waved his hand, and everyone quieted down.
He said, “If it was a normal gathering, I would have made a speech, but today is different. Abigail is our new member, and it’s her first time gathering with us. Let’s give this opportunity to her.”
Everyone echoed and looked at Abigail.
Abigail did not refuse and smiled at everyone gracefully.
