Alex was going to ignore Adrienne and address herself directly to Mr. Frost.
"Do you frequently change the subject when confronted with the facts?" she asked coolly. "You haven't contested any of my points. You're going to be laughed out of family court. My clerk happens to be welcome to state his opinion at any time, as I value his insight. Any matter that concerns me, concerns him as well."
Jack wasn't her clerk, but she would apologize for her presumption later. It added a legitimacy to his presence, for Alex to allow Winston to believe that, and there was something almost protective in being able to put that shield around him.
"Incidentally, you ought to spend less time speculating about my client's personal life and more deciding how you'll explain your actions to the judge. The falsified evidence as well as all those fresh bruises."
Similarly, Emma was 'my client,' every time, and not once 'your daughter.'
