Chapter 64Marshall was very surprised too. He then smiled merrily as he walked toward her“Ms Thompson, what a coincidence”novelbin
Stella felt amazed too. | bumped into him thrice in a few days‘ time. Rivera is huge. The odds of bumping into him once are sosmall, not to mention three times.
But, | felt a little guilty when he called me “Ms. Thompson‘.
| didn’t think that we’d meet the third time when | gave him that name.”
She awkwardly said, “Yes. That's a pretty big coincidence.”
Marshall pointed at her neck as he gently smiled, “You. Did your injury get better?”
Stella was stunned for a moment. She then remembered the wound he was asking her about was the wound she got from beingscratched by the pregnant lady in the police station. She was a little surprised by his attentiveness.
“It's healed. Thank you so much for that day.”“It's no trouble at all.” Marshall paused for a moment. “You're alone?”
“lm meeting someone. But, he hasn’t arrived yet.” She then softly murmured, “I wonder how did he get his certificate. He has nosense of time at all.”
Marshall froze for a second. He probed, “Are you meeting a lawyer?”Stella was stunned. “How did you know?” She then immediately realized what was happening. “You're that lawyer!”Marshall softly laughed, “Yes. I’m that lawyer who has no sense of time.”
Stella felt extremely awkward. “That wasn’t what | meant... | thought you didn’t come. No, | didn’t think that you were a lawyer.You don't look like one.”
Marshall pulled out the chair and sat across her. He looked interested, as he asked, “What does a lawyer supposed to look like?”Stella braved it out as she pointed at his jacket. “At least wear a suit.”
Marshall smiled, “I'll take note of that.”
Stella waved her hand. ‘I was just stereotyping. There’s no law saying how a lawyer should dress. Hope you don’t mind.”
“| was just joking. Don’t be so nervous.” Marshall tenderly said, “Let's talk about your case”
Stella was relieved, and she nodded her head multiple times.
They added each other on WhatsApp. Stella then sent Marshall the screenshots she had previously collected
Marshall frowned as he looked at the unsightly screenshots He then logged into his Facebook using his laptop to search thespecific words.
Stella only screenshotted the accounts of the comments and private messages that insulted her. But the truth was, after hesearched the keywords, there were many accounts that were specifically used to defame herMarshall then categorized the accounts that posted similar posts. It can basically confirm the accounts that had the same
Internet Protocol Address and posted the posts using the same phone were the same person.
After that, he used his work account to contact those Facebook users. He started with a consultative approach to make themdelete the abusive remarks. He also asked them to publicly make a post to apologize to “Dusk Galaxy”
Stella was watching from the side, and she was completely convinced that he was a lawyer.It was because the words he used to communicate were very professional and careful.
However, this kind of consultative approach was clearly not a threat to those people. Some of them did not reply to him, andsome even scolded him. They cursed and were arrogant. They even blocked Marshall’s account
He unhurriedly saved the screenshots. He faintly asked, “How do you want them to be punished?”
Stella was startled, “Isn’t this a civil case? If | win the lawsuit, at best, | could only make them delete their Facebook account andhave them apologize to me publicly, isn’t it?”
Marshall smiled. “Reputation dispute is indeed a civil case. The heaviest punishment is only compensation. But, if you want themto get heavier punishments, we can sue them for defamation. Defamation is a type of criminal offense. The offender would get apermanent criminal record. Not only will this criminal record set back their career, but it'll also affect their next generation’spolitical examination.”
‘lcan do that?
“Which has the higher chance of winning the case? Defamation or reputation dispute?”
