Snare of Love

Chapter 799 There Will Always Be a Scar Even After the Wound Is Healed

Theresa thought that it was all due to the happy lot from the previous life that a woman could give birth

to a child, why she would harm him?

When Armand took charge of the case, all the lawyers went for him.

“Mr. Bernie, we can’t take charge of this case. We have no chance of winning.”

“That’s right, the woman committed suicide. They will only lose some money. Furthermore, his son died

too. The case is irritating but we can’t make it idealistic. We have to face the reality.”

“What’s the reality?” Armand asked.

Anderson said, “We have to face the problems that happen in the reality. There are so many things that

we think that they are injustice but there are many deficiencies in the laws for marriage. For example, if

a man and a woman cheat on each other, is it a crime?

Obviously, it is not, which limits our authority to defend the parties involved. What is the point of winning

or losing this lawsuit? She had died. When one died, nothing is left. At most, we are fighting for a little

money for the family of the deceased. What’s the meaning of money compared to a human’s life?

As for us, by winning this case, we are only fighting for a little money for our client. We can’t put the

cheater in jail, we can hardly do anything about him, and we will offend him. What do you think is the

point of such a lawsuit?”

Anderson’s point was that this case could not be taken charge of. It required a lot of workload and effort

and the outcome was not good.

“Then, we’ll just leave it?” Theresa understood his point, that was, this case, no matter win or lose,

there was not much meaning.

The man was at fault as he had a mistress. However, he did not go against the law. He did not kill his

wife. His wife committed suicide, so there was nothing to do with him.

The lawsuit was nothing more than a little compensation.

Theresa thought that it was unfair, the price for cheating was too small.

‘If he did not like her, why did he marry her in the first place?’

‘Is it a mistress always better than a wife?’

‘Although it’s a rough saying, it’s somehow true.’

“Yes, you can’t take charge of it.” Anderson said, and a few lawyers behind him echoed, just thinking

that they could not get much benefits from it and on the other hand, they would offend people.

“What if I insist on taking charge of it?” Armand did not want to understand too much. He could

understand it, but when he saw that the other party went to her funeral to grab the ashes of the dead

and threw it on the floor, he thought that they acted too overly! Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Even if the cheater would only lose some money, he thought that it was a punishment for him to let

everyone know that he was at fault.

“Why are you doing this?” One of the lawyers said.

Anderson added, “Yea, it’s meaningless. Why are you doing this? You told us that our occupation is fair

and unfair at the same time. We can’t survive in this career if we just fight for justice. Why are you so

stubborn now and forget what you have said?”

Armand whispered, “That was the past.”

He had a different mindset now. At that time, he only wanted to be prestigious and did many things that

went against his will and morals.

Sometimes, he knew that his client was at fault but he tried to defend him by all means. He was

helpless as a lawyer.

In the past, he did not care about the case. As long as he could gain benefits or prestige from it, he

would take charge of it.

He used to tell this to the lawyers in his law firm, but now, he changed his thoughts suddenly.

He was scourged by his conscience.

He thought that he was so unlucky now due to the reason that he had done many things that went

against justice.

“It’s not easy for us to have such a prestigious firm. I don’t understand why are you so stubborn.”

Anderson could not understand. He was not like this before. Why he changed suddenly?

Armand lowered his eyes, “What goes around comes around.”

He wanted to do some good deed, for the sake of the people around him and the sake of himself.

They failed to persuade him and did not want to say anything more. Everyone left his office.

Theresa stood beside the window and looked at him, “What’s in your mind?”

Armand stood up and walked out from the office table. He stood in front of her and stared at her. He

reached out his hand and hugged Theresa, “We’ll lose our child because of me.”

Theresa did not want to recall the past. She said to Armand in a serious tone, “Let’s not talk about the

past. It’s history now. I choose to forgive you means that I have let go of the past. The wound is healed

but there is a scar. If you talk about it, you’re revealing my scar, it hurts.”

Armand’s gaze lagged for a moment. Some tears came out of the corners of his eyes. His gaze was

not as fiery as before.

Soon, he closed his eyes and said with a low tone, “I won’t mention it in the future, never ever.”

That was Theresa’s and his lifelong wound.

“Let’s go back early today.” Armand hugged her and Theresa said yes.

They walked out of the office. Armand’s phone which was in his pocket rang. He took it out and the

screen showed that it was the phone number of his house. He knew that if it was not from Elizabeth,

then it was from Elizabeth’s maid. He knew why she called him. Theresa was relaxed these few days.

He did not want her to worry, so he hung up the call.
