Chapter 573

'of course not! I'm going to fight! She must be delusional to think that I would let her take away the company I worked so hard to build," thought Albert.

Hylda picked the phone up and put it on the table.

"Don't get mad, Albert. It's not good for your health.

"Take a look at this subpoena," Albert said while tossing her the document.

"I was thinking about why she was so quiet after the divorce. This is why! She was planning this all along! Does she think she could win the case with the little evidence she has in her hands?" Hylda pursed her lips and said, "Albert, the lawsuit is not the most important thing right now. Walter just called me."

"Who?"

Albert was not paying much attention at that moment.

"Our previous driver," Hylda said in a low voice.

Albert frowned.

"Why did he call?"

"Someone went to his town and looked for him."

Albert's face changed slightly.

"Do you know who?"

"No. But think about it, who else would look into Walter?"

Albert's expression turned serious.

"You mean...Stella?"

"She knows Rainee filed for divorce with you seven years ago. She even has the evidence that Rainee collected.I doubt she'd overlook the car accident and the division of property. Stella may not succeed as long as we find a reliable lawyer. But if she finds something that she shouldn't, we'll lose more than just a few dollars.Albert turned slightly pale when he heard that.

He tried his best to stay calm and said, "All the vehicles involved in the accident have been destroyed. The police have also closed the case. Even if she does find out more about the incident, there's no proof; what kind of trouble will we face? We can give her some money to settle the lawsuit. I mean, that is what she is after, right?"

Hylda was not so optimistic about the situation.

"You're underestimating her, Albert. She divorced Keegan right after Rainee's death. It's clear that she's not in it for the money; she's in it for her mother."

"Just think about it. When you asked her to attend those banquets to marry her off, she agreed because of Rainee.Her mother raised her, and she respects her far more than she respects you. So if she finds a loose knot in Rainee's car accident, she'll never let it go. She'll even pull us down to hell with her."

Albert's hands unconsciously trembled when he heard the word "hell".

The scene in which Rainee was thrown across the road, covered in blood with pale lips, appeared in his mind again.

"What do you suggest we do then? She's already started investigating. Won't she be even more suspicious of us if we take action now?"

Hylda smiled and said, "We'll accept the subpoena and go against her in court. There's no guarantee that she will win yet. I'm sure she won't be in the mood to focus on the car accident once the lawsuit is over." Albert was worried, but all he could do was trust Hylda.

They were in the same boat; if one went down, the other will too.

Albert's lawyer quickly contacted Marshall about the property division case.

After their discussion, the trial was brought forward to next Monday.

Originally, the trial was supposed to happen one month later, but Albert had filed an appeal.

So the two parties began negotiating and agreed to adjust the hearing.

Stella wondered what Albert was playing at since he was the type to delay a lawsuit and drag it as long as possible.

Stella even thought he would not attend the hearing and let his attorney show up instead of him.

"I did not expect him to agree so easily. Does he think he would win this lawsuit??""
