Theresa thought that it was all due to the happy lot from the previous life that a woman could give birth to a child, why she would harm him?
When Armand took charge of the case, all the lawyers went for him.
“Mr. Bernie, we can’t take charge of this case. We have no chance of winning.”
“That’s right, the woman committed suicide. They will only lose some money. Furthermore, his son died too. The case is irritating but we can’t make it idealistic. We have to face the reality.”
“What’s the reality?” Armand asked.
Anderson said, “We have to face the problems that happen in the reality. There are so many things that we think that they are injustice but there are many deficiencies in the laws for marriage. For example, if a man and a woman cheat on each other, is it a crime?
Obviously, it is not, which limits our authority to defend the parties involved. What is the point of winning or losing this lawsuit? She had died. When one died, nothing is left. At most, we are fighting for a little money for the family of the deceased. What’s the meaning of money compared to a human’s life?
As for us, by winning this case, we are only fighting for a little money for our client. We can’t put the cheater in jail, we can hardly do anything about him, and we will offend him. What do you think is the point of such a lawsuit?”
Anderson’s point was that this case could not be taken charge of. It required a lot of workload and effort and the outcome was not good.
“Then, we’ll just leave it?” Theresa understood his point, that was, this case, no matter win or lose, there was not much meaning.
The man was at fault as he had a mistress. However, he did not go against the law. He did not kill his wife. His wife committed suicide, so there was nothing to do with him.
The lawsuit was nothing more than a little compensation.
Theresa thought that it was unfair, the price for cheating was too small.
‘If he did not like her, why did he marry her in the first place?’
‘Is it a mistress always better than a wife?’
‘Although it’s a rough saying, it’s somehow true.’
“Yes, you can’t take charge of it.” Anderson said, and a few lawyers behind him echoed, just thinking that they could not get much benefits from it and on the other hand, they would offend people.
“What if I insist on taking charge of it?” Armand did not want to understand too much. He could understand it, but when he saw that the other party went to her funeral to grab the ashes of the dead and threw it on the floor, he thought that they acted too overly!
Even if the cheater would only lose some money, he thought that it was a punishment for him to let everyone know that he was at fault.
“Why are you doing this?” One of the lawyers said.
