Chapter 425
Marshall paused. "Are you going to divorce Keegan?"
Stella did not know what to say.
‘I wouldn't want you to be my lawyer if I was really going to do that? She thought to herself.
"Not for me, but for my mom."
Stella 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, Stella’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 accordingly 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 this lawsuit if his lawyer holds on to this."
Stella frowned and said in a slightly angry manner, "Isn't the marriage law 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 the law can't be absolutely fair."
