Chapter 4 - 4

Lies were repeated so often that even the teller started to believe them.

My grandparents even fantasized that Bill would accepted my mother and me, and as a result, they would benefit indirectly.

Seeing them speak with such certainty, the neighbors were duped and developed a sense of awe towards our family and hesitated to offend us.

Then everyone knew who my father was, and they also knew that he refused to accept me. They got furious, they couldn't help but mock and sneer.

"It's Bill Thompson, a truly important person."

"Rich, handsome, good genes? He doesn't accept this child."

"Villas, luxury cars, black truffles, what a nice dream."

"Unmarried pregnancy and a sense of superiority? "

"The truth is when ones get shameless, they are invincible.'"

Words could be more than hurtful as you imageined.

Our family became the biggest joke in the community.

Some people hated us, however, some people welcomed us and they were eager to get involved…

These people were lawyers.

Lawyers also enjoyed handling high-profile cases like this, as it could help them gain more business in the future.

Given the situation, legal approach was the only option left. My mother decided to sue Bill on my behalf, requesting the court to order him to fulfill his parental responsibilities.

She was well aware that she couldn't match Bill's power, so she spent a lot of money to hire a lawyer.

You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. So she had to spend some money.

This lawyer was very good at handling such cases and had a high success rate. The case of the famous actor's illegitimate child was also handled by him.

To confirm the identity of an illegitimate child, a paternity test was the most direct evidence. But it was clear that Bill would not cooperate, and according to relevant laws, the court could not take coercive measures against him.

In the absence of his consent for a paternity test, based on the basic laws and regulations. The plaintiff needed to provide basic evidence to prove that Bill was my biological father.

To be specific, things like text messages, phone recordings, Line chatting records, and witness testimonies could all be used as evidence.

But my mother had none of these.

The only thing between her and Bill was a condom.

"I am now your lawyer, and you must tell me the truth. Hiding facts or providing false information will prevent me from accurately assessing the case, leading to unfavorable legal results." The lawyer explained the stakes, "Tell me truthfully, is this child really Bill's?"

My mother hesitated for a while and then had to spill the whole story.

The experienced lawyer was dumbfounded after listening.

One underestimated a woman; she could really do anything.

Once a lawsuit started, there was no privacy left.

To have a child from a condom and then sue the biological father to court is simply beyond belief. That was so immoral.

The fans were shocked and collectively switched to watching mode.

For several months, it dominated the headlines.

Bill was unable to bear the disturbance and was quite angry. He sent his top legal team to fully contest the case.

However, the lawyer my mother hired was indeed skilled, and he developed an effective legal strategy based on the actual situation.

In summary, "No matter how my mother got pregnant, but this child is yours, whether you like it or not, you'll have to pay child support."

"After several rounds of intense legal battles, we ultimately won the case, legally confirming the paternal relationship between Bill and me, which forced him to reluctantly pay child support. The amount of child support was determined according to the local standard of living. It's only a few thousand dollars each month, far less than my mother's expectations.

She was disappointed but felt helpless.

You see, Bill's legal team was no joke. This outcome was pretty good.

Before my mother could even catch her breath from the victory, another problem arose.

This time, Bill sued her!

In the field of criminal law, the act of stealing sperm and using it for pregnancy could potentially lead to the name of crime, which may include theft and invasion of personal information.

The name of the crime would be determined based on the specific circumstances of the case.

Bill was thoroughly enraged and was determined to make my mother pay a price.

With the assistance of his legal team, my mother was ultimately sentenced to three years in prison.

It was a case of trying to get something for nothing and ending up losing everything. My mother regretted it deeply!
