    Marshall paused. "Are you going to divorce Keegan?"


    Ste did not know what to say.


    ‘I wouldn''t want you to be mywyer if I was really going to do that? She thought to herself.


    "Not for me, but for my mom."


    Ste briefly told Marshall about what had happened between Rainee and Albert before she brought up


    the divorce settlement from seven years ago.


    She said, "Mr. Moore, is it possible for my mom to get back the allocated property to her seven years


    ago if she divorces my father now?"


    "It''s very difficult," Marshal replied.


    Suddenly, Ste’s heart sank.


    "The divorce papers were signed, yet none of the relevant procedures was executed. Besides, you told


    me that your father holds the majority shares of the Jewell Group, and he had been paying for your


    mom''s medical expenses ever since she was admitted to the hospital. Legally speaking, he fulfilled his


    duty as a husband as he took care of his wife. So, it''s going to be very difficult if you want him to give


    up all his possessions.”


    "What about the evidence of him cheating?”


    Marshall replied, "It could be proof of their marriage breaking down, and the judge will act ordingly


    in the favor of your mother while dividing the property. However, it''s not going to be enough for your


    father to give up on everything. As I said, he has been paying your mother''s medical bills, and there''s


    no way that you can win thiswsuit if hiswyer holds on to this."


    Ste frowned and said in a slightly angry manner, "Isn''t the marriagew supposed to protect both


    husband and wife? Why is it protecting the interests of the wrongdoer now?"


    Marshall gazed downward and said after a while, "Sometimes, even thew can''t be absolutely fair."


    Ste shut her eyes and held her finger against the corner of her eye. Then, she said after keeping


    quiet for a while, “I’m sorry, Mr. Moore. I wasn''t angry at you."


    "It''s fine. I''ve engaged in a lot of divorcewsuits, and I''ve seen worse than what your mother is going


    through.” Then, Marshall continued, "The only way to work this out is to make Albert Jewell withdraw


    himself from the property settlement willingly."

    "A person like him would never do that."


    "So, what your mother did was actually very impressive. You can do the same thing too."


    Ste shook her head. "My mom collected those evidence and forced him to sign the papers. There''s


    just no way that he wouldn''t destroy the evidence after my mom got into that ident. And, I''m pretty


    sure that he has already patched up his mistakes long ago.”


    "Not necessarily." Marshall said, "ording to what you said, Albert Jewell is a greedy and


    unscrupulous man who would always put his personal interest first. Even though he tried to rectify the


    mistakes he made back then out of fear, it doesn''t necessarily mean that he wouldn''tmit the same


    mistake again. A person''s nature is very hard to change.”


    "I''ve thought about that too, but I don''t work in the Jewell Group. So, there''s no way I can look through


    thepany''s ount book.”


    Rainee had full control over thepany back then, so she was very familiar with its ounts. It was


    nothing but a piece of cake for her to expose what he did. But, it was different for Ste as she did not


    even know where the ount of thepany was, let alone find the evidence of Albertmitting a


    crime."


    Marshall thought for a while and said, "Do you have the numbers of the Jewell Group''s ex-employees?”


    Ste thought of the notebook in Rainee''s safe and said, "Yeah, I do."


    "Send them to me, and I''ll try talking to them. Maybe they''ll tell me something you don''t know if they are


    on your mother''s side.”


    His words woke Ste up, and she said, "Why didn''t I think of that?"


    ‘Albert fired many senior employees in thepany after what happened to my mom, and at least one


    or two of them would know some secrets, right?’ Ste thought.


    She then added, "Please give me a moment. I''ll look for the numbers and send them to you."


    Marshal replied, “It''s fine. Let''s meet up in a while. Didn''t you say that you still have the evidence that


    your mother collected seven years ago? Bring them along, so I can see if any of them can still be


    useful.”
