One of the best attorneys in the country, Mrs. Hadley secretly hires Kelani Adams to represent Ryan, the supposed bomber of the Dundale Shopping Center. She’s a Cross, and even Sephy, who doesn’t care much about politics, has heard of her. (Sephy ultimately decides to follow in Kelani’s footsteps and become a famous lawyer.) However, despite Kelani’s reputation, she’s unable to prove Ryan’s innocence in court, though she is able to stop his execution at the last minute. But Ryan brushes off her insistence that she can still clear his name.
