I smiled and said, "The case will be over soon. I'll see you off when it's done."

Geraldine looked at me with sadness in her eyes. But in the end, she said nothing.

In the following days, Stella frequently appeared in my life. She had been dismissed from the search and rescue team and now had plenty of time to wear me down.

She came to my law firm, saying she'd win me back.

Every day, a bouquet was delivered to the firm, followed by homemade lunches and expensive watches. She was just shamel

    I smiled and said, "The case will be over soon. I'll see you off when it's done."Geraldine looked at me with sadness in her eyes. But in the end, she said nothing.In the following days, Stella frequently appeared in my life. She had been dismissed from the search and rescue team and now had plenty of time to wear me down.She came to my law firm, saying she'd win me back.Every day, a bouquet was delivered to the firm, followed by homemade lunches and expensive watches. She was just shamelessly camping at the firm.Colleagues who didn't know why we divorced teased me about it, saying Stella was really devoted and maybe she had realized her mistakes.But those who knew the real reason for our breakup immediately called security when they saw her.A month of persistent pursuit didn't even get me to glance at her.Geraldine's case was nearing its court date, which meant she would be leaving soon.That night, I flipped through the case materials, unable to catch a wink of sleep.

    But hearing news from Geraldine, I couldn't help but feel a flicker of anticipation.Her assistant told me that her cases were always handled by a professional legal team.She only reached out to me because she knew about my current situation at the law firm. She wanted to use Sharpe Corp's name to help me build a reputation.Faced with her repeated advances, I couldn't help but want to draw closer, yet I was constantly forced to confront the vast gap between us.Stella's case was progressing much faster than Geraldine's. Soon, the trial date arrived.I appeared in court as the attorney representing my client. I never imagined that Stella and I would face each other as plaintiff and defendant.She looked at me as if she had a million things to say, but all she asked was, "How have you been lately?"I just stared at her coldly without answering.In court, Stella explained the mistakes she had made, which led to the delay in rescuing my client's daughter.I also discovered that

    I yelled back at Stella, "I'm cruel? Stella, it was your own coddling of Noah that caused your parents to be burned to nothing but ash! I've tried to warn you more than once."But you acted like it didn't matter because you thought it was my parents and even handed Noah the knife while he desecrated them."All your resentment should be directed at yourself, and you should feel guilty for the rest of your life about your parents, not take it out on me!"Seeing me getting angry, Stella quickly reached out to grab my hand, trying to calm me down."Wade, don't be mad. I was just emotional when I heard you were with another woman. I know it's all my fault. I'm a terrible person. I can't even forgive myself."But… I never truly hurt you, right? We shouldn't have ended up getting divorced. Come back home with me, please."Her last words were almost a plea.But I didn't even glance at her as I got into the car.…Geraldine was already at my house, waiting for me. Mom and Dad spoke hig

    I took on the case and decided to visit the search and rescue team to gather information.By chance, I ran into Stella, who was being reprimanded by the new team leader."Stella! How many times have you led the team in the wrong direction on missions? Can you even do this job anymore? If you can't handle it, get out!"Our team has lost so many resources this month because of you, and several victims who could have been saved died because of your mistakes! Think about it!"Stella looked defeated. As she turned, our eyes met."Wade, you finally came to see me. Why haven't you replied to my texts?" she asked.I had already blocked her number, so there was no way I'd see her texts.In just three months, she had lost at least ten pounds. It seemed that her parents' death had hit her quite hard.I proceeded with the routine questioning. "Why have you been making so many mistakes at work lately? Did anything affect your emotions before these tasks? Also, no one in the team knows the t

    I had always felt sorry for Stella, who was constantly getting hurt with no one there to take care of her.Ultimately, pressured by Phillip and Maria's constant lectures, I finally handed in my resignation.At the time, a close colleague of mine was furious. He told me it was all part of the Covingtons' scheme to control me.Looking back now, I realized that Stella must have injured herself on purpose just to force me into a compromise.Getting back into the lawyer business wasn't hard for me. But after being away for so long, I had trouble getting cases.I saw it as a chance to sharpen my abilities. I took small steps and focused on the details again.Two months later, I received my first case. It was from an old friend, Geraldine Sharpe."Long time no see, Wade. I didn't know you were back at work. Anyway, I'm entrusting my case to you."I smiled and took the file from her assistant.Geraldine and I had been neighbors in middle school. We spent most of our youth together, al

    It turned out Stella knew exactly that Noah's so-called autopsy was nothing but an act of desecration. But she'd believed it was my parents' bodies, so she'd blindly defended him.She thought she would see me begging for forgiveness and crying for her to stop.Little did she know that she would reap what she had sown."Noah! I'm going to kill you! Go to hell!"Stella's heart-wrenching screams echoed through the morgue.Unfortunately, no matter what she did now, it was too late. Phillip and Maria were gone, with not even ashes remaining.After Noah was taken away by the police for questioning, I followed along to give my statement.Noah had always been competitive within the team. He had mixed with several people just to secure his forensic certification.I'd heard the rumors and warned Stella about him, but she believed his innocent facade. And in the end, it cost her parents' lives.When I finished my statement, the police told me that Noah had confessed to everything."Mr.
