Chapter 533
'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 her Ms. Thompson. At that time, Marshall smoothed things over for her and told us
that he was involved in her family lawsuit. He even mistakenly thought that her surname was
Thompson.'
'Could this be the lawsuit that he was talking about back then? There are so many famous lawyers in
Rivera. What a coincidence it is that Stella met Marshall, who had just returned to the country?’ Keegan
stared at the plaintiff, and his eyes darkened. He did not believe that there were so many coincidences
in this world.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe 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 she was 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 everything he 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 hate account. They then found out that Tammy Gull and Bella Young were
cousins. They grew up together and had a tight-knit relationship.
Thus, today's lawsuit was not only about winning. Stella thought that it would be great if they could pry
something out of Tammy to 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 little sidepiece 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 big screen while explaining each of them. Most of the evidence consisted of
insults and slander against Dusk Galaxy by similar accounts. 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 be considered as cyberbullying. In July 20XX, my client could not bear the abuse
anymore and lost control of herself. She took an excessive amount of sleeping pills to kill herself and

Keegan clenched his fists and stared at the medical report on the screen. It was the first time he had
seen the document since Stella 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 most serious 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 Stella suddenly became anxious and struggled with the matter for some reason. Keegan
sometimes wanted to relax with her after coming 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 had always thought the best time to have children was when both parties were
physically and psychologically prepared. Children were not just the product of pleasure, they were a
huge responsibility.
