âI have a son and a daughter. They are four years old.â Adina was honest. âIâve raised my children alone for four years, and their father has approached me recently. He wants to take custody of them.
Do I have a chance of winning?â
Brenden tried very hard to suppress his shock.
He initially thought that there was something between Duke and Ms. Daugherty. It looked like he had the wrong expectation.
He pushed his glasses up and finally remembered that he was a lawyer. He schooled his expression and said, âMs. Daugherty, please tell me everything about the kids, their father, and how youâre raising the kids at the moment.â
Adina nodded and sat down across from Brenden. âFive years ago, because of an accident, I ended up sleeping with the kidsâ father. Eight months later, I gave birth to my kids prematurely, and I brought them out of the country. Iâve been raising the kids alone over the last four years, and their father has never shown up. He has also never paid any child support. The kids donât know who their father is.
âThe man is Tyson Osborne. Heâs an entrepreneur, and Osborne Corporation is worth about $
5,000,000,000.â Brenden quickly recorded everything with his pen. Meanwhile, Duke was holding a teacup not far away, and a profound light flashed in his eyes. Adina told Brenden whatever she knew.
âSo, the childrenâs father is a successful entrepreneur, and his family is very rich. On top of that, to outsiders, he has a harmonious family,â Brenden concluded. âMs. Daugherty, your family is rich as well, but youâre single, and the children have been living in a singleâparent family.â
He gave his glasses a push before he resumed. âThe judge will make a decision based on the childrenâs mental health development, and theyâll most likely give custody to the father.â Adina curled her fingers. âWill the law still favor him even though he hasnât put in any effort and money for the kids all these years?â
Brenden nodded. âIf heâs known of their existence but has refused to take responsibility, the court wonât favor him. But from your explanation, I understand that you gave birth to the kids without the fatherâs knowl Adina pursed her lips.
When she first found out that she was pregnant, she had thought about aborting her babies.
However, once she lay down on the operating table, she suddenly did not want them to be gone. She recklessly got off the operating table and ran away. She would rather be locked up than lose her babies.
She knew this day would come, but she never expected it to happen so early. The kids were just four years old. She could not lose Alden and Melody. Adinaâs throat was dry. âI still canât salvage the situation even with your help?â Brenden slowly said, âI have a very high success rate in lawsuits, and there is a chance of salvaging the situation, but I think you want your probability of winning to be 100%.â
Adina nodded.
If she did not want it to be 100%, why would she spend so much effort to come and look for Brenden?
ââThereâs a method for you to win custody 100%,âBrenden said. There was a glint in Adinaâs eyes.
Please tell me, Mr. Watson.â âMs. Daugherty, youâre the childrenâs mother, and youâve raised them for four years on your own, so the children will definitely choose to be with you. If you can find them a father, the court will definitely let you keep the children. When Adina heard what Brenden said, her expression suddenly changed. She could do anything for the kids, except⦠get married. She could not just marry any man. âA fake marriage is still a marriage. You can get a divorce after the lawsuit,â
Brenden said indifferently. âOf course, if you refuse to take this suggestion, just pretend as though I never mentioned it. Iâll try my best to win this lawsuit for you.â
