As soon as Stella arrived at the lobby, Marshall's voice came behind her. She turned around, surprised,
"Mr. Moore- I mean Marshall, 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-" 'I just finished an audition."
Marshall nodded.
Stella just passed the tryout and was excited, "Why don't you ask me if I got the role?" "Is there even a
need to ask?" Marshall smiled. 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?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella'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. I can pay you more if you kick that old shrew out of the house and lose everything. I 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. I can't take on your lawsuit." 'If you
can't take on my case, can you at least let go of that old hag's case? I will pay for it," the middle-aged
man said. Marshall was obviously annoyed by him and replied 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. Brown to withdraw the
lawsuit? Maybe she'll agree since you have been married for so many years. I'm afraid I must leave; I
have an appointment with a friend."
After saying that, Marshall pulled Stella away. Mr. Brown's expression was ugly. "Mr. Brown, maybe we
should hire another lawyer. 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? I can deal with
whoever that old hag hired, but there's no way I can go up against Marshall Moore. His family is
famous in Rivera." "Even so, you can't use wealth to negotiate 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 your client?" 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two have been married for nearly 30 years and suddenly wanted a divorce. The man has
illegitimate children outside the marriage from more than one mistress. The woman wants to get back
the money her husband spent on those people over the years. So she hired me to redo the 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 interfere with 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 be unfair 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 to check her background because, firstly, she was afraid that the truth
would be difficult to accept. Secondly, she did not want to believe that Rainee betrayed her marriage.
'Where are you staying? I'll drive you back," Marshall said softly.
