WHOA! Ali is one tough cookie (whatever the heck that means)! Your brilliance comes with having Pat Rogers make his inane comment early on. It would only have been better if he made in front of a jury. But Ali handled it well by not commenting at the time, but waiting until Pat and his attorney showed no interest in settling on 100 thousand each. A beautiful scene, Barbara.

Ali seems in charge as she and the women accusers meet with Pat and his attorney. Pat doesn't do himself any favors when he says, "They enjoyed it. I did them a favor." His lawyer should have told him to put a sock in it. It's good the women all showed up and are ready to stand up against Pat. I like the use of "What would you say if I told you...?" Good lawyer strategy. Maybe she has the evidence, maybe she doesn't.
Excellent characterization. Great chapter. judi

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Hard-nose lawyering.
Well written. Good work.
Ali and Cordero are getting warmer. I'm not sure how Cordero would take returning Ali to the ranch soon after witnessing the NYC luxury.
Best wishes.

You have made you silent lawyer a very clever and capable one who has no trouble breaking her silence when it matters. She seems to have anticipated everything that might be thrown at her or else she is doing a good job at improvising.

How could I not like this beautifully written piece, you have presented Rogers in a most unfavourable light, and made and presented Alexandra in a most favourable, I can see your fans all cheering for the demise of a despicable character, and a most skilled and articulate lawyer, well done, great job, blessings Roy

Another well crafted chapter, that went exactly like it should, given the type of novel this is. Everything seemed to flow and follow the author's design. Pat behaved and spoke out as his character design dictates in this type of story. His lawyer also behaved as expected.

Comment from Sankey
This was great work. She certainly knows her business and you convey that in your writing, very well. The guilty party is digging his own grave as well. You know I love your writing style and always look forward to the next chapter. No spags.

Ali dropped bombs on Pat Rogers and his attorney. Stupid people allow their emotions to get the better of themselves and they wrongly and stupidly say things in front of competent lawyers that can and will be used against them. Being successful in legal matters involve maintaining your composure at all times. Wonderful chapter.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
The ladies were well-prepared, but even so I'm surprised they managed to behave so impeccably during the difficult meeting. I'd have expected at least one faux-pas. Otherwise I it seemed a good display of Alexandra's abilities. Kate xx
Note: sat and ignored when Pat glared > (NEED THE PERSON IGNORED) sat and ignored xxx when Pat glared
