Chapter 828 Bad Deeds, as well as Good Ones, May Rebound Upon the Doer
Elizabeth still couldn’t remember what she was about to say after racking her brain for some time, and
at the same time, Armand seemed to have returned to his senses as he was seen going out after a
fresh change of attire. The fatigue on his face was evident, but no matter how tired he was at the
moment, his heart was still in turmoil. He couldn’t fall asleep, so he decided to pay a visit to the law
firm.
“Mr. Bernie, someone is looking for you at the firm. He’s waiting in the guest reception room.” The
receptionist informed him.
Armand nodded to signify comprehension, “Got it.”
He walked into the guest reception room and found that it was the lady who used to find him to take
care of her lawsuit but who also in the end cancel the whole thing.
Armand’s face was expressionless. He asked indifferently, “Do you have any favour to ask of me?”
The lady had a fair and composed complexion as she stood up, “I still remember vividly your extension
of help towards me last time. This is just a token of appreciation from me.”
She placed a gift on the table which she have brought.
Armand pushed the gift back and said, “I won’t accept any rewards for doing nothing. I barely did
anything to help you, so you don’t have to be so polite.”
The lady pushed the gift towards him again, “It’s not something very expensive, just highly-rated
ginseng. You should just accept it.”
Armand put that gift under the table to show that he accepted the gift. He sat down and asked, “Do you
need my help in anything this time?”
The lady shook her head, “Not this time. Back then when I looked for you to handle my lawsuit, only
you were gutsy enough to take me on. Everyone else shunned me as far as they could. Although in the
end, I decided to give up on the lawsuit as a means to seek retribution and payback for my daughter, I
still was able to vent my frustration something good has happened for her sake. My daughter’s soul in
have can finally rest in peace.”
Armand asked, “What do you mean by that?”
The lady smiled, “You must not have seen the news, have you?”
Armand admitted that he really didn’t see the news, so the lady revealed, “That despicable couple who
caused my daughter’s death has died in a car accident. It was just yesterday.”
“Is that so?” Armand was surprised by this news.
The lady continued, “Yes, it really is just as the saying goes, ‘bad deeds or good deeds will rebound
upon the doer’. From what I heard, this mistress was not able to get pregnant after taking over the
official missus position, and even if she was pregnant, the foetus wouldn’t develop. My grandchild’s
death was caused by the Day family, and now, they finally get served by karma.” The lady’s voice
slowly grew hoarse as she spoke.
Upon mentioning the matter of the child, Armand lowered his gaze and intentionally changed the topic,
“How did the car accident happen?”
“The Day family is an affluent family with wealth and power at their disposal. There is certainly no way
that they will accept the end of their bloodline, so they must have sought surrogacy. That mistress must
have been reluctant to accept that so she had thrown a tantrum. Perhaps the same fate had befallen
her like my daughter, and she was indignant about the whole thing, which pushed her to kill herself and
that heartless man together while on their way to process their divorce.” The lady felt happiness
dancing in her heart as she totally accepted the menu served by karma itself.
This was the outcome of bringing harm to her beloved daughter.
“My daughter really had the worst fate. She’s so young, and the child was so small…” The lady’s eyes
turned red with sorrow as she mumbled, but in an instant, she realized that she was overstepping her
boundaries. She abruptly stood up and announced, “I must have bothered you.”
Armand dismissed that thought, “That’s not a problem.”
“Then, you can return to your work. Someone who does good will have his rewards in the end. I wish
that you can be always blessed by good fortune.” The lady said with a smile.
Armand signalled for the receptionist to send the guest away before going to his office. He worked on
arranging some documents about a case which he had accepted a few days ago.
In the past, he would never accept any case like this. It was because he wanted to make himself busy,
so he took on this case without a second thought.
Today, he had an appointment with the person that sought his service.
That person was a woman who experienced disloyalty on her husband’s part while she was still
pregnant. Now, she wanted to have nothing to do with this husband.
She was a steely-willed woman, and at the moment she learnt of his husband’s cheating behaviour,
she didn’t flail around venting her emotions. Instead, she immediately knew that she must secure the
family’s fortune in her own hands.
“Although you know that your husband is cheating on you, you must have substantial evidence too.
You are now in your gestation, so as long as you can provide infallible evidence about your husband’s
cheating, it would be a walk in the park to make him disappear from the family register.”
“I heard that you rarely accepted these cases if any at all, Mr. Bernie. You have my utmost gratitude for
being willing to help me.”
“I am a lawyer. Since I am commissioned by you, I must fight for your benefit’s sake.” Armand replied
nonchalantly, “Now that your husband is still oblivious to the fact that you have learnt of his cheating,
you must secure the most impenetrable evidence in the shortest amount of time possible.”
“I will, so I hope that you will also do your best later, Mr. Bernie.” The woman stood up while cupping
her stomach.
Armand assured her that he would do just that.
He instructed for this person to be sent away before immersing himself in making the information on his
client’s inheritance in order.
The couple owned a house which was their wedding house when they first married. The husband paid
for the property and the wife paid for the renovation. The husband was a manager in a company who
commanded eight hundred thousand dollars annually. There was a car worth three hundred thousand
dollars at home and they had savings over a million dollars. It was a modest family, but this family was
going to be torn apart due to the husband’s cheating.
The aforementioned assets were owned by this family, and now the wife wanted for the husband to be
removed from the family register.
It was rare to see anyone who could remain so cold and calm when faced with such a predicament.
His phone which was on the table started to buzz.
Armand picked up and pressed the answer button. He then immediately heard Bertha’s anxious voice,
“Mr. Bernie, something’s wrong. Madame Bernie is missing.”
Armand frowned as he asked under his breath, “What happened?”
“She said she wanted to get a breath of fresh air, so I brought her to the park to take a stroll. When we
were walking, she saw someone selling steamed sponge cake, and she wanted to try it, so she asked
me to buy one for her. However, in the few minutes that I was buying the cake, she had gone missing.”
“Did you look all over the park?” Armand got up and started to exit his office.
“I have looked around. There’s no sign of her. I don’t want this to worsen, so I am calling you now.”
“I understand the situation now. Continue to look for her, I am on my way.”
After saying that, he hung up his phone and got into his car.
