Chapter 63 Her Mother's Secret
Chapter 63 Her Mother's Secret
Stella paused for a moment and let out a soft sigh.
"To be honest, I don't know who Samuel's father is either. I only remember when I was seven years old, my mother dressed up beautifully and went out, leaving me with the neighbor to take care of. We were separated for a whole month."
"I thought my mother didn't want me anymore. Just when I was desperate, my mother came back. She was still as beautiful as before, but her eyes were lifeless, and she was like... a walking mummy. No matter what I said to her, she didn't respond."
"After that, she gave birth to Samuel." Stella's voice grew softer and softer. "My father flew into a rage and scolded my mother. On the day they fought, I saw my mother smiling at my father, but her smile was terrifying. Even now, just thinking about it gives me chills."
"That day, my father threw down a check and never came back. It wasn't until before my wedding that I hurriedly met him once." Stella chuckled mockingly. "He probably used that money to sever ties with my mother."
Liam sat beside her, gently embraced her frail shoulders, and let her lean against his chest.
He couldn't participate in her past life, but in the future, he would never let her suffer any grievances.
Liam sat in Caleb's office.
People who came in and out of the office were slightly stunned when they saw him. Caleb was a famous lawyer in both Emberfall and Eldoria, and the people who came and went were all influential figures in the upper class.
However, Liam was casually dressed, wearing a peaked cap. In addition, he had an expressionless face and a cold aura, so people couldn't help but speculate about his identity.
"How does Mr. Thompson know someone like him?"
"I heard that Mr. Thompson has been handling several criminal cases recently... Could he be a criminal coming to cause trouble?"
Liam glanced at the door, and those people hurriedly dispersed.
Caleb hurriedly walked in, his footsteps getting closer.
As soon as he entered the office, he also paused for a moment. Then he closed the door and lowered the blinds around the room. He personally made a cup of top-quality coffee and placed it in front of Liam. "I heard those people gossiping on the way here." Caleb smiled. "They were saying that there's a criminal in my office and that I should be careful. Ha, Noah, it seems like you're more horrible than Liam. At most, he's just a hoodlum, but you look like a criminal!"
Liam looked up at him and lightly curled his lips.
"Boss, do you still want to pretend to be Liam?"
Liam didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Have you ever handled a real estate lawsuit?"
Caleb furrowed his brows.
"Is it related to a real estate company?"
"It's personal."
"Well... I really haven't." Caleb awkwardly smiled. "For these small civil lawsuits, I usually let my employees handle them."
"Okay." Liam nodded and threw a document directly onto his desk. "If you haven't handled a lawsuit like this before, then you should handle a few more. It'll help you in your career." "Huh?" Caleb was taken aback and quickly flipped through the files, his expression growing grimmer and grimmer.
Suddenly, he looked up and met the faint smile in Liam's eyes.
Caleb was speechless.
He knew that this big shot wouldn't come to his office for no reason.
In the end, it was all for Stella...
"Noah," Caleb awkwardly smiled. "You're not asking me to help Stella with this lawsuit, right? Well, you know my principles when it comes to taking on cases, and this one is a bit..." "Anyway, this is how things are." Liam said expressionlessly, "That house was given to Stella and her mother by Henry. Stella has been living there since she was little. Can he take it back at will?" "Humph, at least in my opinion, that's unreasonable!"
He sneered and crushed the cigarette butt forcefully, his eyes growing gloomier.
"Noah, this is the law, and there's no reason." Caleb patiently explained to him, "Although they've been living in that house for a long time, Stella's mother is not the registered owner of the property! Besides, Henry bought that house, so of course he can take it back if he wants!"
Liam glared at him, and Caleb licked his lips, no longer speaking.
After a while, Liam took a sip of coffee and coldly snorted, "Aren't you a top lawyer? You can even make a dead person come back to life with your words, but can't you win this lawsuit?" Caleb laughed bitterly.
If he took on this case with his current reputation, would he still have a future?
"Noah." He had no choice but to make a concession. "How about this? I'll introduce Tom from my law firm to Stella. He's really good at handling civil lawsuits..."
"I don't want anyone else!" Liam shot him a sharp look. "You're the one who has to handle it!"
Caleb swallowed his saliva.
This was really putting him in a difficult position!
Liam gave him a final ultimatum. "I don't care how you do it, but you can't let Henry take back that house!"
Caleb let out a heavy sigh, remained silent for a while, and could only force a bitter smile. "I'll have someone conduct a detailed investigation and I'll personally handle this lawsuit, alright?" Liam smiled satisfactorily and was about to leave when his footsteps suddenly halted.
"Oh, there's one more thing." He asked in a low voice, "Can you get a suitable job for me in Eldoria?"
