Chapter 537
Keegan's question was carefully crafted. Ted only mentioned that Rainee was bedridden, but Marshall
knew the details and the specific time and date of the accident. 'How could he have known all these
when he has only known Stella for a little over two months?’ Keegan thought.
However, instead of answering his question, Marshall asked him another question. "Did you know how
Rainee passed?"
Keegan's fingers curled. He did not pursue the answer to this after the funeral since they had no
relationship. To him, Rainee was nothing but a vegetable. They never even spoke a word to each other
before. It would be a lie to say that he missed her.
Keegan did not have a great relationship with his mother, Dahlia. So, he could not empathize with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella, especially when she asked for divorce at the funeral. He thought that she was being
unreasonable. When Marshall posed the question, Keegan was a little scared to know the truth.
"When we went to the hospital, Ms. Spade had not completely lost her vital signs yet. It was Stella who
took off her oxygen mask. She was your wife. You were supposed to protect her for the rest of her life,
for better or worse, in sickness and health. But since you did not fulfill your duties as her husband, you
have no right to ask any questions."
After speaking, Marshall turned around and left the courtroom without waiting for Keegan’s reaction.
Keegan stayed where he was with a tense face. After a long while, he returned to his seat at the public
gallery. When Aldor saw his grim face, he did not dare ask what Marshall had just said to him. "Don't
worry, Mr. Kane. Their evidence is quite solid, and Mr. Moore has a lot of experience with such
lawsuits. I'm sure they won't lose this," he whispered.
Initially, Keegan's face was pale because Marshall declared war, but it turned even paler when he
heard Aldor praising him. ‘She won't lose even if he weren't the one to represent her! I have the money
to hire the best lawyer!" he said through gritted teeth.
Aldor was speechless. 'Why does Mr. Kane sound like he's mad as hell?'
The hearing continued a few minutes later, and Stella returned to the plaintiffs table once again. She
looked more in control of herself compared to what she was earlier.
The attorneys from both sides continued to counter each other's statements. Though Ted's skills were
not inferior to Marshall's, Marshall did have sufficient proof to support his claims. Stella quickly
presented new evidence regarding the questions that Ted had asked her earlier.
After she was diagnosed with depression for the first time, she went to the hospital for monthly
checkups, and at the end of last year, her symptoms completely disappeared. Her mother entered a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcritical stage several times, but her mental state was normal. She showed no signs of depression after
that. This proved that her mother's health did not play a role when she was diagnosed with mental
illness last year.
Ted did not have a counterargument and could not produce new evidence at that point. He was
gradually slipping into a disadvantage. Marshall then took the opportunity to win the case by asking the
judge if he could ask the defendant a few questions, and the judge allowed it.
Tammy pursed her lips tightly when she knew she would get questioned. She had not spoken since the
beginning of the trial because her lawyer advised her to stay silent to avoid any slip-ups.
