Chapter 1021: Chapter 1024

Stella looked up at her.

“I know. You can ask me anything.” Warren had nearly everything under his control. In the end, it was Ben who got her a reliable lawyer.

Tina fixated her eyes on her for a moment and frowned, suspecting this would be a tricky case.

“Are you repulsed by me because of my relationship with Justin?”

At times, the world was such a small place. After everything had happened, it was she who became Stella‘s lawyer.

Stella and Juston almost got married at one point, but due to Weston‘s aggressive interference, they stopped contacting each other. Stella shook her head.

“I don‘t mind. I‘m not in a relationship with Mr. Hall.”

“Me too. Apart from having a child together, I am only his ex–wife. And now, you can consider me a professional lawyer, so I hope you can put aside our conflict and work this out together.”

Stella nodded.

Tina was perplexed to see her unusually calm demeanor.

” You are now being charged with intentional homicide ...”

“I know,” said Stella, “but I didn‘t do it.”

“That‘ll have to depend on the evidence.” Tina said helplessly, “The plaintiff‘s side seems to have persuasive evidence and confidently claims that you killed someone intentionally.”

Stella frowned and repeated, “I didn‘t.”

Seeing her response, Tina fell silent for a moment, then said, “I didn‘t plan to take your case at first.”

Because of the matter between Stella and Justin, Weston once threatened them with Bryce.

Tina was disgusted with the kind of people who used power to suppress people. “But I heard that Warren is looking for ways to suppress you by not letting those lawyers take your case. Your situation is very critical ...”

She paused for a moment and asked, “I wonder where Weston is.”

If she fought against Warren alone, she was sure she had little chance of winning.

However, she married Weston only some time ago. Since everyone witnessed their grand wedding, Weston shouldn‘t just leave her alone.

“Who knows?” Stella stretched the corner of her lips.“ Maybe he thinks that I am the murderer.”

Tina sighed. “All I can tell you is that there is no way to get bail in a criminal case. You can only stay here for now. And since I took your case, I‘ll do my best to keep you safe, but I need to make sure of one thing. Did you have anything to do with Zachary‘s death?”.

Stella raised her head and looked into her eyes. She uttered word by word.

“I have no intention to kill him.”

“Okay.” Tina nodded.

“I will do my best.”

The evidence was ready, and the prosecution could soon proceed with their charge.

Warren sat in the middle of the hall with a sullen face.

Wendy and Chris sat by his sides. No one spoke.

Only Guinevere was still wiping away tears with her head down.

“Stop crying!” Warren snapped.

“You are bothering me.”

Zachary‘s death had hit everyone hard. Warren felt heartbroken just thinking about it.

The only thing he could do now was to take out all his anger on Stella It was the only way he could divert his attention a little.

“Do everything you can to give this woman the death penalty, and if you can‘t, make sure she stays in jail for the rest of her life!”

“Yes, Mr. Warren.”
