On the 7th of March 3080, the police arrived to the shared house of the Barons in Smallwood Manor after being called by the Baron's butler to find him running from his wife who was handling a broadsword, after she discovered that the baron had been carrying on a relationship with his personal aide Georgina Wade. Both the baron and the mistress where found hiding in a closet. The Baroness was arrested on charges of assault and attempted murder, and after being taken to South Sutton County courthouse, arraigned on the charges, and released on a 40,000 pound bond thanks to him.[2]

He bested lead prosecutor Zachary Baines, by explaining that the Baron did not want to sign the divorce papers because of the prenuptial agreement, and also explaining that the Baroness was an expert swordswoman, and if she had wanted to kill him and his lover, she would have done it. After 3 days of trial and 4 hours of case review by the jury, she was declared not guilty.[3]

On the 14th of May her client was the target of an assassination attempt when her car was blown off. She was slightly injured, but three of her staff, including him, suffered serious injuries and several people walking nearby were killed instantly, with a large number also injured.[4]
