They Sabotaged My Father’s Lawsuit, Now My Lawyer Husband and His Mistress Will Pay for It

My husband has fought countless lawsuits and never lost a single one, earning him the title of "national lawyer" from thousands of netizens.

However, he unexpectedly lost when he took on a commercial lawsuit for my father's company that seemed like a sure win.

The court's first-instance ruling ordered my father to pay a staggering ten billion in compensation. He suffered a heart attack immediately after leaving the court. Then, he passed away before he could be taken to the hospital.

My mother couldn't bear the blow. After informing me of the news from abroad, she jumped off the hospital rooftop.

I rushed back frantically. As soon as I landed, the butler ran over and knelt before me, wailing hysterically.

"Miss, you must avenge your father and mother!"

After helping Franklin to his feet, I learned that the lawyer defending my father's company was not Hans Lowell, but his female assistant, Pamela Walter.

I erupted in anger.

I called Hans repeatedly, but his phone remained turned off.

That evening, while keeping vigil for my parents at home, I saw that Pamela had updated her social media.

It was a nine-grid photo of a dinner.

Candlelight, red wine, roses, everything.

The last photo showed her holding a man's hand.

The diamond ring on his ring finger was precisely the same as mine.

The caption read: [My first solo court appearance ended in defeat and my mood was ruined. Luckily, my boyfriend was considerate. He booked a flight here that day to accompany me and cheer me up.]

[The feeling of being loved is truly wonderful.]

Below the caption were dozens of blessings and over 99 likes, filled with a hint of romance, forming a stark contrast to the bleak atmosphere at my home.

At that moment, my already broken heart shattered completely.

I directly called the deputy director of the law firm. I asked him to immediately form an investigation team to thoroughly investigate Hans and Pamela.

——

The deputy director disagreed, but instead stammered.

"Mr. Lowell is your husband. This isn't necessary, is it?"

"My parents died in one day!"

"You're telling me it's unnecessary?"

"Uh … that's not what I meant."

"I understand your grief, but doing this could have a significant impact on Mr. Lowell's reputation."

"Mr. Lowell is a national lawyer and the face of our law firm. His reputation is directly tied to our performance."

"Besides, you're married. You can make up … "

"You're fired."

"That's it."

I didn't feel like arguing with him, so I fired him on the spot.

Then, in the main group chat for the law firm, I announced that I would immediately appeal the verdict for my father's case and launch an investigation into Hans and Pamela.

However, no one in the group of over one hundred people responded. Instead, many tagged Hans.

[Pamela was appearing in court independently for the first time, so it's understandable that she was nervous. Losing the case is normal. You can't say that just because the case involving the director's father was lost, the director should make a big deal out of it, right?]

[Mr. Lowell, I think the director is jealous. You should comfort her.]

[Yes, Mr. Lowell, as a newcomer to the legal profession, we should protect Pamela and give her enough understanding.]

Finally, the deputy director I had dismissed tagged me.

[Did you see that?]

[This is what the people want!]

The two comments were filled with a strong sense of provocation and sarcasm.

At that moment, I suddenly realized that, at some point, I had been sidelined as the director of the law firm.

These people had probably long forgotten who had funded the establishment of the law firm.

And who had invested a significant amount of money to provide them with the highest-level training and continuously introduced them to high-quality clients.
