Chapter 789 Destined
“How can I go home? I want to sue my son-in-law. I’ve been to several law firms. When they heard that
I’m going to sue the Day family, they dared not to receive me at all.” As she spoke, the woman started
shedding tears again.
Armand still kept calm. He picked up the glass of water and handed it to her. “Please have some water.
Take it easy.”
Theresa didn’t know much about City B, so she whispered in Armand’s ear, “Is the Day family a famous
one?”
Otherwise, how could no lawyer be willing to represent her?
Armand whispered to answer, “An influential family.”
There were a lot of wealthy families in City B.
So were powerful ones.
There were also wealthy and powerful ones.
The woman’s eyes were reddish and swollen. Probably she had cried for a long time. Obviously, it was
indeed a difficulty for her.
She took over the water glass from Armand’s hands, trembling. She gulped it down in one go. Since
she had been weeping for a long time, she was quite thirsty.
Armand asked the receptionist to get her another glass of water. The woman immediately said, “No,
thanks. I’m fine now.”
The receptionist still got a glass of water for her.
Finally, the woman calmed down and said, “My daughter died unjustly...”
Armand rubbed between his eyebrows. He could tell that the woman became excited again.
Sure enough, she shed tears again.
...
After a while.
The woman started speaking. Although she stopped from time to time, she told them the details. Her
daughter had married into an influential family and given birth to a son. However, her son-in-law Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
cheated on her daughter. He asked his son to call his mistress Mom.
The woman’s daughter didn’t accept and nor did she agree to divorce. However, the Day family forced
her to divorce, giving her a house and more than two million as compensation. The woman’s daughter
was reluctant. She wanted her son.
Her son was the later generation of the Day family, so they were not willing to give him to her.
The woman’s daughter was so reluctant. She couldn’t accept that her son would call another woman
Mom. When she was extremely excited, she jumped off from the house left by her ex-husband with her
son in her arms.
The mother and the son jumped from more than the twentieth floor, both beyond recognition.
The Day family was quite angry about it. They didn’t care if the woman’s daughter died, but she died
with her son...
The woman couldn’t accept the fact that her daughter was forced to commit suicide by the Day family,
so she wanted to sue her ex-son-in-law.
Upon hearing her words, Theresa was frightened. Her mood became quite bad.
Armand asked her to go to his office, but she refused.
“When they heard that I’m going to sue the Day family, they dared not to take the case at all. You...”
Armand said, “Do you have any evidence to prove your son-in-law cheated on your daughter when
they were still married?”
The woman said excitedly, “My daughter has seen them personally...”
Armand interrupted her, “I meant the solid evidence. Your daughter is dead, so she can’t be any
evidence. Besides, she jumped off from the building by herself. If you don’t have solid evidence, no one
dares to represent you in this lawsuit. The Day family is rich and powerful. Besides, there wouldn’t be
any lawsuit if there was no evidence. Please think if your daughter used to have any solid evidence
when she was still alive.”
The woman was quite excited. “He’s going to marry his mistress. Isn’t it evidence?”
Armand said, “You said she’s a mistress, but you need evidence to prove it. Otherwise, they can sue
you for slander.”
The woman was rendered speechless instantly.
Theresa poked Armand with her elbow, hinting at him to be gentle and not scare the woman.
“Then, what should I do?” As she spoke, the woman started crying again.
Armand said, “You can go home first and think about if your daughter has left you something or said
something before. When you’ve sorted everything out, you can come to me again.”
The woman didn’t believe him. “Do... Do you mean you will be my lawyer?” She was overexcited,
pulling out a band card from her purse. “I just need justice for my daughter. Here’s three million in this
card. I can give you all.”
Her daughter got more than two million for the divorce, in addition to the savings of her husband and
her. Now she didn’t want anything but justice for her daughter. She couldn’t let her daughter die like
this.
Armand pushed the card back to her and said, “You should go home and think if you truly want to file a
lawsuit to sue them.”
“Do you mean you won’t be my lawyer?” The woman looked down immediately.
Armand didn’t answer. He stood up and asked the receptionist to walk the woman out.
Theresa was puzzled as well. She asked, “Are you afraid of getting into trouble?”
Armand said, “Others dared not to represent her because it’s not a good case. It’ll be easy to induce
criticisms on themselves.”
Theresa was quite compassionate to that woman.
She said, “Now the network is quite advanced. It should be a piece of news in City B. Why haven’t I
seen it on news before?”
Armand explained, “It must have been suppressed.”
Theresa heaved a sigh. “The poor could hardly survive, could they?”
Armand looked at her. “Why do you think she’s poor? She could offer three million.”
“Wasn’t it from the divorce?” said Theresa.
Armand walked over, reaching to hold her. “The woman’s son-in-law was heartless, but he didn’t kick
out his ex-wife without giving her anything. He gave her a house and some money, but he was too
ruthless. The woman’s daughter went to an extreme. When she committed suicide, she also wanted to
take her son’s life away. She was also quite selfish.”
Theresa also thought that the woman had gone too far as she died with the child. Although Theresa
couldn’t give birth now, she used to be pregnant. She knew how important a child was for the mother.
The woman’s daughter could be so cold-hearted to let her son die. Theresa believed that she must be
forced to an extreme.
“You’d better follow up on this case. Even if you don’t want to represent her, I want to know more
details about it.”
Armand pinched her nose. “I didn’t know you like gossips, too.”
Theresa thought for a while. “It’s not a gossip.”
Armand agreed. It wouldn’t be too late if he made the decision after knowing all the details.
“You must do some good deeds. As the result of karma, we probably could make it next time,” said
Theresa in a soft tone.
Armand felt so creepy. If the words were said by Elizabeth, he would think it was normal. But, he heard
it from Theresa, for which he couldn’t accept at all. “Are you also superstitious?”
Elizabeth alone could make him so uneasy.
Armand was extremely nervous. “We didn’t make it not because we didn’t do any good deeds or
because of the karma. We have never done anything guilty. It’s destined. The baby is not destined to
appear right now, so we can’t have it no matter what we do.”
