‘On the night Marshall brought Stella as a date to the charity event, he didn't know she was Keegan's wife. He even called herMs. Thompson. At that time, Marshall smoothed things over for her and told us that he was involved in her family lawsuit. Heeven mistakenly thought that her surname was Thompson.’novelbin
‘Could this be the lawsuit that he was talking about back then? There are so many famous lawyers in Rivera. What a coincidenceit is that Stella met Marshall, who had just returned to the country?’ Keegan stared at the plaintiff, and his eyes darkened. He didnot believe that there were so many coincidences in this world.
The judge's assistant read out the court rules, but Stella could not focus. When she entered the venue and saw Keegan there,her heart sank.
Keegan had made an inexplicable warning in a call last night. He must have known about the lawsuit, but he did not know shewas the plaintiff. So, it was clear that he was not there for her.
A few days ago, Marshall asked someone to find out more about the defendant, a girl named Tammy Gull. He dug out everythinghe could, from her birthplace to her life experiences.
Stella had thought that Bella would not have registered the account under a stranger's identity if she was the one behind the hateaccount. They then found out that Tammy Gull and Bella Young were cousins. They grew up together and had a tight-knitrelationship.
Thus, today's lawsuit was not only about winning. Stella thought that it would be great if they could pry something out of Tammyto drag Bella into the mud.
Keegan did not know that she was the plaintiff, so that meant he was there for the defendant. ‘That mutt! Standing up for his littlesidepiece while transferring money to me! Ugh! What a jerk!'1
After the judicial assistant read out the court rules, the trial officially began. Marshall displayed the collected evidence on the bigscreen while explaining each of them. Most of the evidence consisted of insults and slander against Dusk Galaxy by similaraccounts. The viciousness behind the words was simply beyond human morals.
"The defendant used the internet as a shield to verbally attack and abuse my client for a long period of time. This can beconsidered as cyberbullying. In July 20XX, my client could not bear the abuse anymore and lost control of herself. She took anexcessive amount of sleeping pills to kill herself and was later diagnosed with depression...”
Keegan clenched his fists and stared at the medical report on the screen. It was the first time he had seen the document sinceStella had never mentioned it to him.
‘July of last year... What happened last July?’ Keegan scanned through his memory and finally recalled them having the mostserious fight they had ever had.
The two of them had been married for more than two years and had no children at that time. Everything was fine, but Stellasuddenly became anxious and struggled with the matter for some reason. Keegan sometimes wanted to relax with her aftercoming back from work late at night, but she kept asking him to make a baby with her.
Stella was not eager to have a child before that, so when she suddenly changed her mind, Keegan could not stand it. He hadalways thought the best time to have children was when both parties were physically and psychologically prepared. Childrenwere not just the product of pleasure, they were a huge responsibility.
