A prominent city lawyer is in a dilemma— what is he to do after he discovered that his client was having an affair with his wife? The lawyer is representing the man in one of the most sensitive cases currently in the courts. He has now threatened to spill the beans because his client has already betrayed his confidence and trust by romancing his wife behind his back. The lawyer believes there is nothing the man can do to him. However, the client has threatened that if the lawyer outs him, he will withhold payment of the substantive fees which he still owes. So the question comes down to—will the lawyer keep quiet and get the money or will he open up about his wife's infidelity with his client and lose the money?
