FULL NOVELXO Chapter 89
“You intend to take half of my son’s assets and stock? Think again.
The lawyer collected the papers with composure, remarking, “My client’s claims are detailed in the paperwork.
Should you have concerns, seeking legal counsel is an option.
”
“And who might you be? To address us so boldly?” Leah sneered at the lawyer with arrogance.
“You believe this paper grants you rights to my son’s wealth? Do you assume the Edwards family can be so easily defeated? Are you aware of our standing in Valmere? My son could easily brush aside people Like you.
”
Gently patting Leah’s arm, Eliana tried to soothe her.
“Leah, let’s stay calm.
Perhaps Miss Moore isn’t familiar with the Edwards family’s reputation in Valmere.
She’s been mostly homebound, managing household affairs.
”
Leah’s gaze grew even more scornful.
“To my son, you’re nothing more than a housekeeper he’s employed.
Did you truly believe he ever cared for you? Declan never laid a hand on you after the wedding! Even letting someone as audacious as you revel in the Edwards family’s wealth has been an act of charity.
”
Hannah retorted with a smirk, “If you ask me, it’s your treasured son who struggles with s@xual dysfunction.
”
Hearing that, Leah seethed, “What did you just said? You bitch! How dare you insult my son?”

Languidly reclining in her chair, Hannah shot Leah an amused glance, teasing, “Struck a nerve, did 1?”
“Miss Moore, a touch of respect might be in order.
After all, she is your elder…”
Before Eliana could finish, Hannah raised her hand, cutting her off.
“She’s your elder, not mine.
I don’t recognize such a demanding elder.
”
Upon realizing she couldn’t sway Hannah, Leah shifted her focus to the lawyer, her voice threatening.
“Mark my words, if you dare help this woman, the Edwards family will ensure you never find peace in Valmere.
”
The lawyer, however, appeared unflustered.
He replied with a gracious smile, “Mrs.
Edwards, our primary duty as lawyers is to defend our clients’ rights and interests.
I’m aware of the Edwards family’s influence in Valmere, but the law remains paramount to any individual’s status.
”
His words clearly conveyed his unwavering support for Hannah.
Years of Leah’s dominance in Valmere had made direct confrontations with her rare.
Yet, with her divorce from Declan, Hannah’s demeanor had shifted.
Her audacity reflected even in her choice of lawyer.
Leah’s patience snapped.
She pointed accusingly at Hannah.
“Thinking of splitting the property with my son? Dream on! I’ll fight it as long as I breathe!”
Hannah responded calmly, “Then take it to court.
We shouldn’t waste time.
Unlike you, every minute counts for me.
”
Signaling her lawyer, she prepared to depart.
