Chapter 884
Stella was bewildered.
Marshall lowered his gaze and said softly, “Was it because I didn’t win your case with
Albert, so you don’t trust me anymore and would rather consult an intern than me?’
Stella was stunned.
She quickly denied his question, “No. Why would you think so? Besides, it’s not like
we lost the case; we just dropped it. Furthermore, it’s not your fault. Who would’ve
