Chapter 1251

Ted was taken aback. "Of course not. He has to be heartless to ask me to help someone in a lawsuit against his ex-

wife."

Stella frowned. "But I saw you talking to each other during the recess."

"Well, we were schoolmates, after all. Besides, we were pretty close back then too." Ted said.

"Why would he be in the courtroom that day then?"

Ted was puzzled. "Wasn't he there to see you?"

Stella kept quiet.

'See me, my foot! Keegan didn't even know I was the plaintiff.'

Stella initially thought that Keegan was there for Bella. However, after discovering that Bella shared those flirtatious

messages visible only to her, she realized that was not the case.

Moreover, Bella was not the person getting sued. Stella figured that Keegan would not bother himself with a lawsuit

between her and Bella's fan if there were really something going on between him and Bella.

Stella could not help but think to herself. 'Ted just said that it wasn't Keegan who appointed him. Could it be that

Bella hired him herself? Did she intentionally hire a lawyer Keegan knew, misleading me into thinking that he was

involved and making our relationship worse? But Bella got so busy with the lawsuit that she even toned down her

public appearances. Would she even have the energy to do such things?'

Stella asked again, "So, was it Bella who asked you to help her?"

Ted shook his head. "She wasn't the one who hired me. If I remember correctly, her case was taken by a lawyer in

my friend's law firm."

"You're so good at what you do, and both of you even worked together before. Why didn't she ask for your help?"

Ted replied flatly. "We've never worked together, and I don't know her."

Stella paused. "Hm... What about the lawsuit you helped her assistant with? Wasn't she the one who hired you?"

"My assistant was the one who took up the job. To be honest, I didn't really know who the client was. I only accepted

it because that person offered a very high price. Who would say no to money, right?"

'Bella wasn't the one who hired Ted? Who could it be then?'

Stella frowned as she thought to herself. She recalled the whole incident and slowly connected the dots. Suddenly,

she had a strange feeling that someone intentionally made her believe Keegan helped Bella with the lawsuit against

her.

In fact, Stella did get very mad and disappointed at Keegan because of that. She wondered to herself. 'Who would

have

such a motive? Could it be Dahlia? That doesn't make sense. Keegan and I were already divorced at that time.

There wasn't any reason for her to do such a thing.'

"Ms. Jewell, is there anything else?" Ted asked flatly before saying, "It's been almost ten minutes, and I charge

based on every thirty minutes beyond that."

Stella snapped back to reality and asked, "How many minutes do I have left?"

"Two minutes."

"How much is this going to cost me then?"

"To show some kindness and make the world a better place, the first ten minutes will be free."

"Please show some kindness to me then. Otherwise, I'd feel like I'm getting overcharged."

Her response left Ted speechless. He carefully sized Stella up.

He was very busy with his doctoral thesis when Keegan got married, so he could not be there.
