    Hector blinked, “Of course not. If he hires me to go against you, his ex–wife, that would be pretty


    heartless.”


    Celeste frowned, “Didn’t you two chat on the day the court adjoumed?”


    Hector replied. “We’re old schoolmates. We always catch up. We were pretty tight back in school.”


    Celeste asked, “Why was he there at the trial then?”


    Hector looked puzzled, “Wasn’t he there to see you?”


    Celeste was shocked


    What a joke!


    Before thewsuit started, Liam had no idea Celeste was the intiff


    At first, she thought he was there for Sydney, but after finding out Sydney was sending some cryptic


    messages only she could understand, she realized Liam and Sydney weren’t what she thought they


    were


    And the one who was suing her was not Sydney herself. Even if Liam was still in touch with Sydney, he


    wouldn’t be bored enough to meddle in Sydney’s fanswsuit with her, night?


    Now Hector ims he’s not hired by Liam Did Sydney hire him herself?


    Did Sydney intentionally hire awyer familiar with Liam, making Celeste think he’s hired by m, just


    to make their rtionship worse?


    Sydney was swamped with thiswsuit, and even her public appearances became low–key Did she


    even have the time to do this?


    Celeste asked again, “Did Sydney hire you for herwsuit?”


    Hector shook his head, “She’s not my client, her case was taken up by awyer from a friend’s firm.”


    Celeste pressed on, “You’re so talented, you’ve even coborated before. Why didn’t she hire you?”


    Hector replied casually. “We never worked together, I don’t even know her.”


    Celeste was taken aback, “So, thewsuit you helped her assistant with, it wasn’t her who hired you?”


    Hector replied, “That case was taken by my assistant. I didn’t even know who the client was. I took it


    mainly because the offer was good. Who would say no to that?”


    So it wasn’t Sydney who hired Hector?


    Then who?


    She furrowed her brows, recalling the ins and outs of that issue, the clues gradually connecting


    together, slowly forming a chain.


    She suddenly had a strange feeling, as if someone deliberately made her believe that Liam was


    helping Sydney sue her


    And indeed, because of that, she was very angry and disappointed with Liam.


    Who could have this motive?


    Skyler Reed?


    But she had already divorced Liam by then. There was no need for her to do so.

    “Anything else, Ms Campbell?”


    Hector asked indifferently. “If it’s over ten minutes, I’ll have to charge for half an hour


    Celeste snapped back to reality, “is it overtime already?”


    Hector said, “Two more minutes.”


    Celeste asked, “Why would you charge if it’s not over ten minutes?”


    Hector said, “It’s free within ten minutes. It’s our practice rule and also ourpassion.”


    Celeste said, “Well, show somepassion then. Otherwise, I feel like I’m being ripped off”


    Hector fell silent for a moment as he looked at Celeste closely


    When Liam got marned, he was busy writing his doctoral thesis, so he didn’t attend the wedding.


    He only saw Celeste in the wedding photos shared by his schoolmates in the group chat


    He just thought she was beautiful.


    He dismissed it, thinking Liam’s taste wasmon, choosing a trophy wife with nothing but beauty.
