Chapter 2

They grew from newcomers in the legal field to seasoned lawyers step by step.

Their salaries had also risen from a few thousand initially to over a hundred thousand, or even several hundred thousand now.

Perhaps from the day Hans quickly rose to fame and became a nationally renowned lawyer, they no longer saw me, who was not a lawyer, as their director.

They all looked up to Hans Lowell.

Not long after I sent the message, that man called me.

No comfort, no explanation.

He launched into a fierce tirade right away.

"Esther LaRue, are you crazy?"

"Even if you're upset because your parents died and you're taking it out on me, that's fine. I'm your husband and I can tolerate that. But why drag Pamela into this?"

"She's still a newcomer who just started appearing in court independently and is in her probationary period. What you're doing could ruin her future!"

"You're talking to me about her future now? Hmph!"

I laughed angrily. My already shattered heart felt like it had been thrown into a meat grinder, causing another wave of excruciating pain.

"Hans, let me tell you."

"Compared to my parents' lives, her future or your reputation—none of it matters!"

"You!"

"You're completely unreasonable!"

Hans spoke impatiently, "I don't want to argue with you. I don't care, but you must sincerely apologize to Pamela in the group chat."

"Additionally, you've been occupying the director's position for so many years despite being an outsider and many people in the law firm have complaints about this."

"Resign tomorrow. I'll take over the director's position."

"Both matters must be handled properly, or we'll divorce!"

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The busy tone from the phone left my mind in a daze.

Is this the man I've loved for eight years?

Just after my parents passed away, he's pulling this stunt?

After calming down for a while, I texted several messages to a person in my contact list who was labeled the president of the Latrell Lawyers Association.

[Three things: one, draft a divorce agreement forcing Hans to leave with nothing and assign a team of lawyers to prepare to help me with the divorce lawsuit.]

[Two, file an appeal with the court in the name of the Latrell Lawyers Association and request a retrial.]

[Three, immediately establish an investigation team targeting Hans and Pamela and thoroughly investigate the two of them.]

[Investigate until they have nothing left!]

It was a big deal.

Since Hans wanted to cause trouble, I didn't mind causing a scene either!

As soon as the message was sent, the other party replied instantly.

[Understood, Mrs. LaRue.]

[We will ensure the task is completed.]

The next morning, Hans called, likely having been notified by the Latrell Lawyer Association that he would be investigated.

I swiped my finger and rejected the call.

Now he's starting to panic, feeling scared?

Too late.

After making over a dozen calls that were all rejected, Hans began sending me voice messages.

"Esther, are you out of your mind?"

"We could have resolved this internally. What's the point of involving the Latrell Lawyer Association?"

"The Latrell Lawyer Association has actually dispatched three investigative teams and eight inquiry groups to investigate me and Pamela! The entire industry is in an uproar! It's even trending on the hot search headlines!"

I was taken aback, not expecting the Latrell Lawyer Association to make such a big fuss.

Three investigative teams, eight investigation groups.

This scale was unprecedented.

Just hearing it was terrifying enough. You could imagine how Hans was feeling right now.

"Esther, stop playing dumb. Answer me!"

"Do you have any idea how bad this looks? You're completely ruining me!"
