“Can‘t take it?” Nova walked to the sofa and sat down. Seeing Stella nodding pitifully, she raised her eyebrows and said, “Tell me about it.” “It‘s...“Then Stella told her about the case. Nova tapped her fingers on her tigh while listening, and there was a trace of cunning light in
her eyes, “It‘s interesting. Who are the two parties?” “It...it would be pointless even if you know...” Nova looked up at Stella and said nothing. “They are the leading figures in the business circle. This time, many things and people will be involved. It was a life–and–death fight. The one who wants your help is Mr. Don, and Mr. Don‘s opponent is...” Stella sighed for their commission and continued painfully, “Your husband!” Nova subconsciously quickened her breath. Stella pressed her chest and said downheartedly, “The money is meant to be away from us.” Nova played with her phone and said casually, “It‘s an interesting case. Take it.” “What?” Nova showed determination in her eyes and said firmly, “I’ve said take the job and I mean it.”
Stella looked at her without a word. She continued, “You will win the case if you are in. But your husband is going to lose billions of dollars for that. Polly, this is no joke.” “I‘m not joking.” Stella was still unable to understand Nova and asked in confusion, “But you... why would you help Chester Don? You are Mrs. King!” Nova said hoarsely, “I‘m divorced.” “What?!”
Stella suddenly sprang to her feet. It was the second breaking news she heard before the tea
she made became cool enough to drink. “You, are you really divorced? Polly, you...” Nova said indifferently, “Without him, I can live my own life.” Looking at Nova‘s serious look, Stella was relieved after recovering from her shock, “You finally got it! You‘ve paid so much for that jerk, but he doesn‘t cherish you a bit. You leave him and you are free from suffering. Congratulations, baby!” Nova didn‘t want to talk about this anymore. She changed the topic, “Well, get in touch with Mr. Don. Let‘s get started.” Stella was still a little confused and asked, “You... you want to take revenge on him because of
+ ‘10 your hatred of him?” “Business is business. I‘m just keen on this case.” She had always liked challenging cases. Since they were divorced, they had nothing to do with each other, and she didn‘t need to have any scruples. Stella suddenly looked serious. She asked without a blink of her eyes, “You can go to court with masks on you before. But you can‘t conceal your identity now. And if Mr. Don knows who you are, he will definitely refuse your help...” “Don‘t worry, I can handle this.” Seeing her determination, Stella nodded, “Okay, I‘ll contact them.” After contact with the other side, Stella looked at Nova and saw that she was quite depressed. Stella immediately held Nova‘s hand and said, “Come on, let‘s roll. Let‘s go eat something really nice! I‘m still starving! And I tell you what, Polly, when you are depressed, find something to do. Keep yourself busy. Or you might be crushed.” Nova felt Stella‘s words heartwarming. She said, “I was just meditating. I had foreseen such Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
an ending. You don‘t have to console me.” Though Nova was telling the truth, Stella didn‘t believe a word. Stella dragged her out of the office. “There is a restaurant nearby. Their dishes taste amazing. Let‘s try it!” Nova had to agree. The two talked and laughed and went to the restaurant. However, when they went in and sat down, they found two familiar people on the left. Nova immediately pulled a long face.
