Chapter 919"Yeah, | do." Stella frowned. "He's my second uncle-Albert's younger brother. Do they still live there?"Marshall caught Stella's choice of words. "What do you mean? Have they lived there before?"novelbin
Stella nodded. "In the earlier years, my cousins came here for school, but they had no place to stay. So, my mom gave them thekeys to our old residence. The house needed to be cared for, and they needed a place to stay. So, mom decided to let them staythere since we were family." "| was in eighth grade at that time. So, it's been almost 11 or 12 years since then. My uncle hasgained some wealth in the past few years. They bought a house here in the city a few years ago. | even went to theirhousewarming party, so | thought they moved out of that residence." "Not only did they stay there, but they also turned thehouse's backyard into a kindergarten," Marshall said in a deep voice.
Stella was stunned. "Huh? But, the backyard was just a piece of wasteland." ‘Grandpa had a large piece of land that was almosttwo acres wide. The house wasn't that big, but the yard was huge. Mom said that the land was originally given to grandpa andhis two brothers, but grandpa didn't hear from them after they joined the army. Grandpa was afraid that the land would bedeserted and taken by someone else, so he built a wall around it. He also built two small sheds to store his fertilizers andgardening tools. Can those be used for a kindergarten?’ "It was, but they built a new building and even renovated the place. Theneighbors said that the kindergarten has been there for at least four to five years now."
Stella’s face changed drastically. "So, you're saying my uncle and his family built a house and opened a preschool?" "We stillneed further investigation to find out whether that place is run by your uncle." Marshall paused for a moment and continued,"Stella, have you never been to that house all these years?”
Stella shook her head with an ugly expression. "The house is quite far from the city. My grandpa passed away a long time ago,so | hardly come and visit. Plus, | didn't know that there were problems with the ownership. My mom has always been the one totake care of these things. | had long forgotten about this place after her accident. It was only when | was sorting out herbelongings that | found out she owned some cars and real estate.
"What should | do now? Is there a way to force them to move out of there?” "You mentioned that your grandpa's brothers owntwo-thirds of the land, right? And, none of them have any extended family members?" asked Marshall.
Stella nodded.
"Then, you're the sole heir. Albert has nothing to do with that two-thirds of the land. However, you and Albert have the right toobtain the remaining land. You only have to file a lawsuit against Albert for the other third of the land. As long as you have thepaperwork, you can order them to move out of there."
Stella was surprised. "So, | don't necessarily have to go to court?"
Marshall nodded.
Before Stella could be happy about that, Marshall added, "But, don't get too excited. | have been involved in many land disputecases, and with the right evidence, these cases are not difficult to litigate. The ownership of the land can be very clear, but manylawyers are not willing to take on cases like this." "Why?" "Because you might not be able to get the house back even if you winthe lawsuit. Humans are greedy animals. Your uncle and his family have lived there for more than ten years. They are going tofight for that plot of land. The verdict would be easy, but the execution is going to be tough."
Stella got a headache after thinking about how nasty her aunt could be. Although, she was still quite confident that she wouldwin. "I'll find a way to get it back as long as it's legally mine. And, if | fail, | won't make it easy for the person who claims theownership.’
Marshall smiled when he saw her eagerness. '1’11 help you.’ "I can pay you more this time. | just got my cut from the movie,’Stella laughed.
“And, how much is that?" "A little around... six figures." "Good. That's just enough to afford my services," Marshall nodded.
Stella took it as a joke and chuckled, "You're so expensiv.lowly.
I'm also willing to let you buy me for zero dollars," Marshall laughed
