Chapter 91 The Illegitimate Child
Diana played the trick again, and Michelle had to stop her.
The room was filled with noises for a while, and Anthony’s stomach began to ache again. He had run out of patience.
He suddenly picked up the fruit plate on the coffee table and threw it to the ground.
After a loud bang, the fruit and fruit plate scattered everywhere.
“Have you had enough?”
Seeing that he was really angry, Diana and Michelle stopped.
Diana sobbed quietly, and Michelle snatched the knife from her.
Seeing that they had quieted down, Anthony frowned and said, “You were wrong in the first place. I had told you that we were divorced. Why did you go to Abigail’s company to make trouble?”
Diana pursed her lips with an aggrieved look.
Anthony continued, “She resorted to legal means to protect herself. You slapped her. What’s wrong with her reporting to the police? You had to apologize.”
Michelle finally knew what had happened.

Seeing Diana crying in grievance, Anthony wore an awkward look.

Michelle put Diana on the sofa and stood between Anthony and Diana.
“Anthony, I understand what happened. Abigail actually called. the police to arrest Diana. How could she do that? Although you’re divorced, you used to be family. How could she be so ruthless as to call the police?”
Anthony frowned. At this moment, Marcus came back from kindergarten.
As soon as he entered the house, he sensed the tension in the air and saw Diana crying loudly.
Marcus quickly ran to Diana.
“Grandma, why are you crying? Who bullied you? I’ll avenge you.”
Upon hearing this, Diana took Marcus into her arms.
“Marcus, it’s all your mom’s fault. Promise me that you’ll never talk to her again, okay?”
When Marcus heard this, he frowned and said, “What? She actually dared to bully you? Don’t worry, Grandma. I will never talk to her again.”

Seeing Marcus and Michelle soothing Diana, Anthony felt depressed and rose to leave.
When he reached the door, Michelle caught up with him.
“Anthony, take good care of yourself. I’ll look after them.”
Anthony nodded. “Michelle, I’m glad you’re around.”

Michelle said, “Diana was dealt a heavy blow. I guess she’ll be upset for a few days. The season is about to change, and it’s easy for children to fall ill. I’ll take good care of Marcus and Diana.”
Her words soothed Anthony, who had been feeling upset.
Seeing Anthony leaving with his hand on his stomach, Michelle couldn’t help but sneer.
The more Diana made a fuss, the more annoyed Anthony became.
He would be more grateful if she stayed here and took care of his family.
Michelle believed she would win over Anthony over time.
Now that he had divorced Abigail, Michelle was determined to marry him as soon as possible to avoid more trouble.
It was a special day for Abigail. It was the first time she had dealt with a real case since she graduated from college and started working.

When Felix handed her the folder related to the case, Abigail felt her hands shaking with excitement.
They sat across from each other. Abigail looked at the case. carefully.
The more she looked at it, the more she felt something was wrong. The smile on her face disappeared, and she frowned.
Abigail said in surprise, “No way. The man cheated on his wife, but after his death, his property will go to the home wrecker’s
son?”
Felix nodded.
“This case is a bit complicated. The man is a real estate tycoon. He and his wife started their business from scratch. However, in the early days of their business, his wife worked too hard and got poor health. After the company grew bigger, his wife began. to retreat to the family. A few years ago, she became seriously ill and has been bedridden. They have a daughter who just turned.

“After the man became rich, he abandoned his wife and
daughter to his hometown in the countryside and left them alone. He lived with his mistress and their son in the villa. Some time ago, the man was diagnosed with cancer. Before he died, he made a will, leaving all his money to his illegitimate son.”
Although his wife had been bedridden for many years, she had to fight for the sake of her daughter.
Chapter 91 The Illegitimate Child Therefore, she came to Felix.
Abigail gripped the folder tightly. “The illegitimate children

have the same inheritance rights as the legitimate children. The law is ridiculous.”
Felix could see Abigail was very interested in this case.
“There are many ridiculous things. You will get used to it.”
Abigail put down the folder and looked at Felix. “When he made the will, no one questioned it or thought it was unreasonable?”
Felix shook his head. “First, the mistress‘ son has equal inheritance rights. Second, when the man died, he had made the will according to the law to leave his money to the illegitimate
son.”
Abigail had studied law, so she understood what this meant.
This meant, legally speaking, the mistress‘ son could indeed inherit this huge sum of money without any reason.
However, at the thought of the prospect, Abigail gritted her teeth in anger.
When Felix saw that she was angry, he continued.
“I met the daughter in the conference room today. The wife is our client, but it’s not convenient for her to come out, so she asked her daughter to come over.”

Abigail asked, “What did you say?”
“She asked me how much money I could get back.”

“Then how did you answer?” Abigail looked at him expectantly.
“I said I wasn’t confident I could get any back.”
Abigail was immediately deflated. She knew how difficult this was. Even if Felix was a top lawyer, it would be hard to do it.
“You are their best hope. Now that you said that, they must be desperate.”
Abigail felt bitterly helpless.
Felix shook his head at her.
“I said that because I shouldn’t give them hope. People can accept being in darkness all the time, but once they see the light, the darkness becomes terrifying.”
Abigail knew what he meant.
Without hope, there would be no disappointment, and one would not be defeated by disappointment.
Although Felix said that, Abigail believed that he would do his best to help the mother and daughter.
Felix looked at her gloomy expression and reached out to knock

her head.
“Abigail, I advise you not to be so sympathetic. This is not a good thing for a lawyer.”
Abigail didn’t think she was sympathetic.
7/7
After experiencing a bad marriage, she seemed to understand many feelings that she failed to understand before.
She couldn’t help but think how desperate she would feel if this happened to her.
Felix said, “I’m going to her home tomorrow. Go with me.”
