Chapter 589: Could I Have Guessed Wrong_1
Having settled Mrs. Douglas’s matter, Purple Summers felt rejuvenated, her whole body relaxed.
Camilla Farrell and the president’s efficiency was remarkable, completing all the procedures in a day, and two days later, they brought the staff from the legal department to the Douglas Family to take Riley Montgomery away.
Upon learning of this, Norman Douglas immediately rushed home from the Prosecutor’s Office, but it was to no avail.
Riley Montgomery’s personal freedom was protected by the Women’s Rights Protection Federation, and unless she wished to stay herself, no one could force her to remain.
Unable to stop Riley from leaving, Norman demanded they leave the child with him, a request Riley was even less willing to agree to. The very reason she wanted to leave was her fear of the child being harmed, so how could she possibly leave the child behind?
As the child’s biological father, Norman had a say in the child’s whereabouts, but the staff refused his request on the grounds that “the child is in the breastfeeding period and is better off with the mother.”
The battle between the couple for the child custody might lead to a lengthy divorce lawsuit before a winner could be decided.
Speaking of lawsuits…
Purple Summers did not hesitate to recommend Prominence Law Firm.
Marcel Jefferson was flattered yet taken aback.
There was a little bit of flattery, but the shock was overwhelming.
“There are two types of lawsuits I never take,” Marcel said to Purple over the phone, “the first is disputes over Intellectual Property Rights and patent rights, which require a high level of expertise to handle with ease, and the second is divorce cases!”
Divorce cases often drag on, with neither party willing to give in, as if locked in a contest of wills, determined to tear the marriage apart until nothing but a mangled, unrecognizable relationship remains, stomping on it a few more times for good measure.
Especially the divorce cases of celebrities are even more troublesome. All sorts of tangled interests, scandals erupting one after the other, what once was deep love turns into a joke, leaving only a hideous and ugly countenance.
Therefore, divorce cases are a very demanding and exhausting task.
Marcel complained to Purple incessantly.
Purple was unmoved, laughing as she said, “No, I wouldn’t feel at ease if I handed this case to another law firm.”
After marrying, Riley had become a full-time housewife, and now, without money or a job, even her living arrangements depended on the assistance of the Women’s Rights Protection Federation. The challenge of fighting for child custody against a wealthy and powerful Justice was indeed enormous, and that’s why Purple took it upon herself to take care of this matter.
She had already helped Riley leave the Douglas Family, and if there were any mishaps in the divorce case leading to the loss of child custody, all the efforts made previously would be in vain, a complete waste!
“Don’t worry,” Purple assured Marcel, “I’ll persuade the other lawyer to accept a settlement. It would be best to avoid going to court.” “Norman is a Justice, he certainly wouldn’t want his family affairs to end up in court.”
Marcel thought about it and agreed, as litigation would only be necessary if both parties were unable to reach an agreement. With Purple involved, what was there to worry about?
“Alright, I’ll start preparing. As soon as there’s any move from the other lawyer, I’ll get in touch with you,” Marcel said.
Purple agreed and hung up the phone.
In the following days, she went to school as usual, not paying any more attention to the Douglas Family’s affairs.
To her surprise, Jane McCain had some gossip about the Douglas Family.
“That annoying female private tutor from the Douglas Family got fired!” Jane was particularly pleased, even though it had nothing to do with her, she found it deeply satisfying.
Purple was taken aback when she heard this.
How could she have been fired?… Could it be that Purple had guessed wrong?
In the midst of her doubts, and suddenly realizing something was amiss, Purple looked at Jane curiously, “How would you know the Douglas Family fired a female private tutor?”
