Chapter 919
"Yeah, I 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?"
Stella nodded. "In the earlier years, my cousins came here for school, but they had no place to stay. So, my mom
gave them the keys to our old residence. The house needed to be cared for, and they needed a place to stay. So,
mom decided to let them stay there since we were family." "I was in eighth grade at that time. So, it's been almost
11 or 12 years since then. My uncle has gained some wealth in the past few years. They bought a house here in the
city a few years ago. I even went to their housewarming party, so I thought they moved out of that residence." "Not
only did they stay there, but they also turned the house'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

given to grandpa and his two brothers, but grandpa didn't hear from them after they joined the army. Grandpa was
afraid that the land would be deserted and taken by someone else, so he built a wall around it. He also built two
small sheds to store his fertilizers and gardening tools. Can those be used for a kindergarten?' "It was, but they built
a new building and even renovated the place. The neighbors 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 still need 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 I hardly come and visit. Plus, I didn't know that there were problems with the ownership. My mom has
always been the one to take care of these things. I had long forgotten about this place after her accident. It was
only when I was sorting out her belongings that I found out she owned some cars and real estate.
"What should I do now? Is there a way to force them to move out of there?" "You mentioned that your grandpa's
brothers own two-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 to obtain the remaining land. You only have to file a lawsuit against Albert for the other third of the land.
As long as you have the paperwork, you can order them to move out of there."
Stella was surprised. "So, I 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. I have been involved in many
land dispute cases, and with the right evidence, these cases are not difficult to litigate. The ownership of the land

can be very clear, but many lawyers are not willing to take on cases like this." "Why?" "Because you might not be
able to get the house back even if you win the lawsuit. Humans are greedy animals. Your uncle and his family have
lived there for more than ten years. They are going to fight 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 would win. "I'll find a way to get it back as long as it's legally mine. And, if I fail, I won't make it easy for the
person who claims the ownership.'
Marshall smiled when he saw her eagerness. '1’11 help you.' "I can pay you more this time. I 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 expensive." "I'm also willing to let you buy me for zero dollars,"
Marshall laughed lowly.
