After My Husband Died, The Mistress Had A Baby To Fight For The Inheritance

When my best friend heard about this, she was furious. "That Leo! If he weren't already dead, I'd twist his head off!"

"He actually dared to cheat on you. Did he forget what he said when pursuing you. And that mistress, how can she have the nerve to fight for the inheritance?"

Jodie, my daughter's godmother, finished cursing and then looked at me with concern. "What are you planning to do?"

I took a deep breath. "There's no way I'm letting them take what's mine."

Jodie slammed the table. "That's the spirit! We can't let that mistress get her way."

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she added, "By the way, do you remember Steven?"

"Steven Hawking?"

He was a legend at our school back in the day, always topping every class. After graduating, he went abroad and apparently did quite well for himself.

Jodie nodded. "I heard he's back in the country recently. Why don't I ask him if he'd be willing to take on your case?"

I hesitated. "Do you think he'd be interested?"

He's been handling major cases abroad, and a small inheritance dispute like this might be beneath him.

But Jodie reassured me, "We can at least ask. If it doesn't work out, we can always look for someone else."

I could only nod in agreement.
