Chapter 673
As soon as Stella arrived at the lobby, Marshall's voice came behind her. She turned around, surprised, "Mr. Moore- | meanMarshall, why are you here?"
Marshall approached her and said softly, "I'm here to discuss a case." He glanced at her dancing outfit and said, "Why are you-"'| just finished an audition."
Marshall nodded.novelbin
Stella just passed the tryout and was excited, "Why don't you ask me if | got the role?" "Is there even a need to ask?" Marshallsmiled. He could already tell by her expression. "Come on, ask me," Stella said. She had to show off in one way or another.Marshall laughed and asked seriously, ' Did you pass the audition, Ms. Jewell?"
Stella's eyes sparkled, "Yeah! The director's eyes shined bright when he saw me!"Marshall could not hide his smile while looking at her, "Is that so?Congratulations, then." Stella rolled her eyes.
As he was talking, a middle-aged bald man suddenly approached Marshall and said, "Think about it, Mr. Moore. | can pay youmore if you kick that old shrew out of the house and lose everything. | can even pay you double the initial price."
Marshall turned round, and the smile he had on earlier was gone; only indifference remained in his eyes.
"Mr. Brown, I’ve made it very clear. I'm Mrs. Brown's lawyer now. | can't take on your lawsuit." 'If you can't take on my case, canyou at least let go of that old hag's case? | will pay for it," the middle-aged man said. Marshall was obviously annoyed by him andreplied with a cold face, "If you have that kind of money, Mr. Brown, why not spend it on other lawyers or go and beg Mrs. Brownto withdraw the lawsuit? Maybe she'll agree since you have been married for so many years. I'm afraid | must leave; | have anappointment with a friend."
After saying that, Marshall pulled Stella away. Mr. Brown's expression was ugly. "Mr. Brown, maybe we should hire anotherlawyer. It'll be hard to make Mr. Moore budge," said his assistant.
Mr. Brown said with a gloomy face, "Do you think it's a matter of who will represent me? | can deal with whoever that old haghired, but there's no way | can go up against Marshall Moore. His family is famous in Rivera." "Even so, you can't use wealth tonegotiate with him; he doesn't need the money."
Mr. Brown frowned, "Everyone wants something. Ask someone to watch him and find out what it is." "Okay." ‘Was that yourclient?" Stella asked after being pulled outside.
"No, he's the husband of one of my clients." Marshall said lowly, "I recently took on a divorce lawsuit. The two have been marriedfor nearly 30 years and suddenly wanted a divorce. The man has illegitimate children outside the marriage from more than onemistress. The woman wants to get back the money her husband spent on those people over the years. So she hired me to redothe divorce settlement.”
Stella was taken aback. "Why are there so many cases like this now? Do these people have any respect for their marriage?”‘Actually, their relationship had a downfall more than ten years ago. The woman had another lover, and the two did not interferewith each other's relationships outside of the marriage. They agreed it was all for fun, but the man had a few illegitimate children.So, the woman wanted a divorce since children born out of wedlock could inherit the same assets as her children. It would beunfair to her children if she did not divorce her husband."
Stella did not continue the conversation because now, she was also an unidentified illegitimate daughter. She never dared tocheck her background because, firstly, she was afraid that the truth would be difficult to accept. Secondly, she did not want tobelieve that Rainee betrayed her marriage.
‘Where are you staying? I'll drive you back," Marshall said softly.
