Chapter 882
'This is awkward. This is really awkward. How could the attorney Felicity introduced to me be from Marshall's firm?
That bastard. Why didn't she tell me? If I had known, I would've just directly consulted Marshall. What gossip is
there to avoid? Now everybody knows. How awkward is that?' Stella thought.
She scratched her head and tried to come up with an excuse, "Well... Well, it's just a small problem, and I feel like
you've been pretty busy recently. Besides, it's just a consultation. I'll definitely go to you if I really need to go to
court."
When Marshall saw how Stella spoke carefully, worried that she would say things that made him upset, he suddenly
felt a tenderness in his heart. He laughed and said warmly, "I'm not blaming you. You're helping our law firm's staff

Stella faked a laugh.
'If it weren't for Marshall's earnest expression, I would've thought he was mocking me with such words,' she
thought.
Yoven stared at Stella.
'Isn't this the woman Yolanda asked me to deal with? And here I was, wondering why she looked so familiar. I think
the last time I met her was also at this place. Marshall's originally icy expression instantly melted away. No wonder
he doesn't want the money or women I gave him; his heart already belongs to someone. Which man can resist a
beauty like her?
I knew it; as long as the person is a human, they'll have desires. If they remain unmoved, it's only because I didn't
get their desires right,' he thought.
At this thought, he smiled. When he walked past Yolanda, he pinched her butt when nobody was paying attention.
Then, he exchanged some words with Marshall and left.
Stella initially wanted to tell Marshall they should meet another day since she did not know when the gathering
would end. However, Marshall suddenly called out her name before she could speak.
"Stella."
Stella lifted her gaze.
He pointed at her head, "There's something in your hair."
"Huh?"
Stella was confused as she reached out to touch her head. Marshall grabbed her hand before she could do so.
"I think it's better for you not to touch it."
Stella was bewildered.

Then, the actresses next to her also looked over. Someone said, "Stella, there's an insect on your head!"
"Oh shoot! It's massive and has many legs."
Stella abruptly froze on the spot. She did not dare to move at all, and her voice trembled slightly.
"Wh-What insect? Stop joking!"
"I'm really not joking! Stop moving around. What if it falls into your shirt?"
Stella paled in fear hearing the person's words. She was terrified of insects, particularly the ones with really long
legs.
Marshall looked at her pale expression and warmly consoled her.
"Don't be scared. I'll help you get it off," he said, taking a handkerchief from his pocket. Then, he placed the
handkerchief on his hand and removed the insect from the top of her head.
