Female Novel
Chapter 575
Chapter 575"You won't be charging me any advertising fees, would you?" Marshall raised his eyebrows and asked. "It'll be free publicity!"
Today's lawsuit was opened to the public, but the audience was much smaller than last time. There were also no reporters at thescene. Trevor arrived a few minutes before the trial and sat where Keegan had sat previously. He looked like the plaintiffs familysitting there.
On the defendant's side were Hylda and Sophia. There was also a six to seven-year-old boy next to Hylda. He looked verysimilar to her, making it hard to like him. The kid was Albert and Hylda's son, Hugo.
"Sophia and Hugo." If Stella had not opened Rainee's safe, she would not have known that her dear father had these two bigsurprises in store for her.
The three of them looked neatly dressed. Hylda no longer looked submissive as she curled her hair and portrayed a dominantstyle. She and Sophia were both dressed in luxurious clothes.
Stella looked coldly at the dock and saw Albert in a suit and leather shoes. He seemed to be living his best life and in goodshape. Stella's heart sank when she remembered how her mother worked so hard to give these trashes a nice life. She clenchedher fists tightly and told herself she must win this lawsuit.
Marshall lightly patted the back of her hand, and while sorting out the documents in front of him, he whispered," Relax."
Stella took a deep breath and lowered her gaze. The trial was about to begin soon. The lawyers from both sides confronted eachother about the case and insisted that they were in the right with supporting evidence.
Albert was so fixated on Rainee's medical bills that he repeatedly emphasized how big the expenses were and how much it tookfor him to care for her after the accident.novelbin
He even took advantage of Rainee's death and made up stories about how she knew about his affairs and agreed to raise thechild with him. He also claimed that he got together with his current wife after Rainee's accident and that there was no propertytransfer.
Though they knew Albert's shamelessness, they were still shocked by his words. Fortunately, Marshall was fully prepared. Thefact that he cheated on Rainee with Hylda and used his shared assets to buy Hylda a house during their marriage; and that hedid not visit Rainee after the accident was enough to show that he did not care for her at all.
The doctor had asked Albert to go to the hospital to discuss other methods of helping Rainee, but he never showed up. Thedoctor testified to this statement, meaning he could not lie.
Albert was gradually at a disadvantage throughout the trial.
After Marshall finished his speech, he presented the plaintiffs claim to the court. The defense attorney stayed quiet for a longtime. Just when Stella thought they were sure to win the case, the defense lawyer suddenly said," Your honor, | have a questionhere to ask the plaintiff."
"Proceed."
The defense attorney looked at Stella and asked, "Ms. Jewell, what is your relationship with my client?"
Stella frowned. 'What kind of question is that?’ She pursed her lips and said, "I'm his daughter, handling the property divisionbetween him and my mother. Is there a problem?"
"Oh, there is.” The defense lawyer took out a report and shot Stella a sharp gaze. "According to our investigation, you are not Mr.Jewell's biological daughter, which means you are not his flesh and blood. Therefore, you are not qualified to sue my client in thiscase."
Trevor's eyes darkened when he heard that.
