Chapter 70

Vermont rolled down his window.

It was a traffic officer “Ah, a Bentley.”

Vermont was shocked as he responded, “Yeah, what’s wrong?”

The officer swept his glance across him. “You can’t stop here even if you’re driving a Bentley Move forward.”

Vermont was left speechless.

He got chased away by the officer before he could wait for Keegan’s reply.

“What did you major in?”

Marshall placed a cup of cold drinks in front of Stella.

Stella put her phone away and lifted her head. “Performing arts.”

Marshall was shocked. “I thought you majored in voice–acting. Why didn’t you stick with performing arts?”

Stella did not want to share too much about her personal life with somebody else, so she said vaguely.”

It’s a long story. I’ll tell you about it next time.”

Marshall noticed how she did not feel like answering that question, so he responded with a smile, “Sure.” “Do lawyers like you earn a lot?”

Stella threw him a question out of the blue.

Before this, Stella noticed that even though Marshall always dressed in affordable clothes, his watch and tie clip were worth a fortune, not to mention the cars he drove all cost about a million dollars.

She could not help but feel curious about how much one had to earn to be able to afford such a luxurious lifestyle.

Marshall said, “I’m still affiliated with my friend’s office, so I won’t charge you too much. Don’t worry.”

Stella was shocked and she immediately waved her hand. “That’s not what I meant. Just charge me accordingly. I was just curious if lawyers can make a lot of money. I wasn’t trying to haggle.”

Marshall smiled. “We do make plenty of money, but it depends on the case too. I have a friend who specializes in wealthy couples‘ divorce lawsuits, mainly in the division of assets. He usually charges five percent of the total litigation amount.”

‘Five percent…‘

Stella quickly made some calculations based on the one billion she had and realized that five percent of a billion was fifty million!

I’m sure that wealthy people own at least ten million worth of assets. That means he could earn about.

five hundred thousand for one lawsuit!

Stella was shocked Then, she softly asked, “Do you take divorce lawsuits too?”

Marshall nodded. ‘I have “How good are you?”

That question was so straightforward that Marshall thought she sounded a little cute.

He said gently, “I’ve never lost.”

Stella’s eyes immediately sparkled.

‘I could sue Keegan anytime if he decided to be a deadbeat.”

Her gaze toward Marshall turned a little more passionate as she thought about that.

Marshall became shy after being stared at like that. So, he cleared his throat and said in a warm tone, “I forgot to get your number just now. Could you send it to me?”

Stella’s eyes turned into two crescents. “I’ll give you a call.”

Then, she dialed Marshall’s number which Felicity gave her previously.

Marshall’s phone rang very quickly after that. Stella put “fifty million” in the remark section of his number when Marshall was still saving her number.

Marshall offered to send her back after the meal, but Stella refused it by telling her that she had somewhere else to be.

She turned around and went into a nearby mall after watching Marshall leave.

Stella only went to give Keegan food around two o’clock.

She had a lot of things in her hands. Not only was she holding the food she brought for Keegan, but also many other items she got from the mall.

The receptionist immediately went to her to help as soon as she stepped into the office.

“Thanks,” Stella said before she realized that he was the same guy who denied her entry previously.

The receptionist looked very nervous compared to before.

Stella thought that it was funny. She grabbed a packet of snacks from her bag and handed it to him after she got out of the elevator. “Thank you for helping me last time.”

The receptionist saw Keegan standing in the corridor with a long face while staring at him coldly, as soon as he was about to take the snacks from Stella.
