Hector spat in frustration, “What’s the point of flattering her? She’s not even related to us. At least Stella gets treated like royalty. These rich fools are so clueless–they treat an adopted daughter better than their own. But that brat’s right; Stella knows so many wealthy, beautiful women. You should be a bit more charming around her. Maybe she’ll introduce you to a girlfriend..
The blonde–haired boy laughed lightly, “Don’t worry, Dad. I’m too good–looking for that not to work.”
Davina didn’t care enough to get involved with this family drama.
Her real concern was the crowd around her. She was afraid she might lose her temper and do something she’d regret
With the Palmers continually causing trouble for her, she decided to shift the focus onto Stella.
It was the least she could do after everything she’d already sacrificed for her. Every bit of trouble Stella was facing now been a burden Davina had taken on for her.
After leaving the hospital, Davina finally went to meet Willard, who had been trying to reach her for some time.
had
Willard was the renowned “Shark in a Tie“, the lawyer who had recently gained attention online, clearly positioning himself to go up against the Summers.
He had been released from prison six months ago after serving time for an accidental offense.
That was why he had vanished from the public eye
ye for three years without a trace.
Now, he was back, re–licensed and ready to return to the legal field.
“Here, go meet him. He’ll make the arrangements,” Davina said, handing Willard a business card with an address and phone. number on it.
Willard sat across from her, dressed in a sharp suit. His hair was neatly styled, and while he wasn’t conventionally handsome. there was an understated charm to him.
His polished demeanor gave him a unique appeal.
He took the card from her and read the name out loud. “Caleb Johnston.”
He smirked. “So you met him before me?”
Davina didn’t respond directly. Instead, she took a sip of her milkshake. “He knows what he’s doing. All my assets are under his control. Stick with him, and you’ll get paid.”
Willard tucked the card into his pocket. “You really trust him”
Davina replied, “Well, you’re here, right? If he’s mismanaging funds, I’ll have you sue him.”
Willard raised an eyebrow.
So that’s how it is nou hub?
He shifted his attention to a folder and pulled out a stack of documents.
“I’ve uncovered a few things recently,” he said.
“Information about the Summers brothers and their history of bullying to protect Stella. Also, some details about the incident where Maisie was pushed down the stairs. The info is sparse and incomplete. After Maisie’s accident, the Summers worked hard to cover up any traces involving Stella”
As Davina flipped through the papers, Willard continued.
“The location where it happened was a blind spot for the cameras. The only witness was Maisie. Everyone else is paid to stay silent. Since you were conveniently in the area, they’ve pinned the blame on you. So, reopening this case could be tricky”

Willard frowned. “We might need to start digging into Maisie’s old classmates to find clues about Stella’s motive.”
Davina understood that, even though Willard had gathered very little, he had done more than most could.
The Summers brothers, especially Blair and Lewis, had been thorough in covering their tracks
“So, we either need them to admit the crime themselves, or we need Maisie to wake up.” Davina said coolly.
Willard nodded. “That seems to be the case.
Davina raised an eyebrow. “Got it.”
“Oh, by the way, Lewis reached out to me.” Willard said with a chuckle. “Guess what he wanted?”
Davina didn’t even try to guess. She took another sip of her milkshake, casually glancing out the window at university students laughing and strolling by.
“He asked me if I’m connected to Jude, and if I’m the guy who used to be a big name in the industry. Willard spoke plainly, knowing she wasn’t one for playing games.
1 had real influence before I went to prison. Lewis even wanted to work with me, build up his network. Now, just a few years later, he’s already a rising star in the legal world. Lewis could’ve had a bright future if he hadn’t crossed you.”
Davina’s lips curled into a small smile, but she didn’t say anything.
