Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278 A Video

Sure, Riley had been desperate to finalize the divorce back then, but that didn’t mean she was giving up her rightful property.

“No problem, I’ll hook you up with a lawyer,” Vince had said easily. “Just come by the firm tomorrow.”

But Riley never expected that when she showed up at the law office, the attorney would turn out to be Shawn.

“You want to be my lawyer?” Riley asked in surprise.

“That’s right,” Shawn said. “Vince already filled me in on your case. It shouldn’t be too difficult.”

But Shawn was Washington’s hottest lawyer. He only took big cases. Her little problem could be handled by any regular attorney. Having Shawn take her case was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

“Your fees are way too expensive though. Maybe your firm could assign someone else to my case,” Riley said.

“Vince specifically asked me to handle this. Don’t worry about the cost. I’ll charge you regular attorney rates,” Shawn replied.

But that seems too—”

“Think of it as the Morris family returning a favor. You looked after Vince when he was in the military. If I passed your case to another lawyer, he’d never let me hear the end of it,” Shawn explained.

Since he put it that way, Riley stopped arguing. “Thank you then.”

After they finished discussing the details, Riley was about to leave when Shawn suddenly asked, “You’re close with Lara. Did she ever tell you why we broke up back then?”

Had Lara really loved him that much, only to break up over some casual comment he made to a friend?

Riley paused for a moment, then answered, “No, she didn’t.”

That was the truth. Lara had never told her the real reason behind their breakup.

“What’s her boyfriend like?” Shawn asked.

“Boyfriend?” Riley pressed her lips together. “You’ll have to ask her yourself. That’s her private business. I can’t say anything

about it.”

Shawn raised an eyebrow. “You can’t even tell me what kind of person her boyfriend is?”

“Right. I can’t,” Riley said.

How could she explain when Lara didn’t even have a boyfriend?

Shawn didn’t say anything else.

After Riley left, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

“Hello, this is Lara. Who’s calling?” Lara’s voice came through the phone.

“It’s me,” Shawn said. “I think we need to talk about what you did to me last night, Ms. Hayes.”

Dry coughs came from the other end. “I didn’t do anything to you. We both had our clothes on.”

“Having clothes on doesn’t mean nothing happened,” Shawn said. “I’m going to send you evidence of what you did to me. If you don’t want to talk, we can settle this in court.”

After he hung up, Lara stared at her phone and cursed Shawn

in her head.

What kind of bullshit evidence was this guy going to send?

A few minutes later, she received a video on her phone.

The content made Lara want to slap herself. The video showed her drunk, pinning Shawn down on the bed.

Based on the camera angle, Shawn must have put his phone to the side and started recording.

In the video, her hands were all over Shawn’s clothes. She slid her hands from his face down into his shirt, feeling his chest and abs.

Even worse, she kept rambling drunkenly, “Mmm, you look just like Shawn. This face, these muscles… I’ll pay you money if you let me have my way with you just once. I need to get my revenge.”

“Revenge?” Shawn in the video asked.

“Yeah! He told me I was just something to kill time with. That scumbag played with me… so I want to play with him too. But he’s too powerful and I can’t touch him. So how about you do me a favor and let me have some fun? Please?”

“You really want Shawn that badly?” Shawn asked while she pressed him down.

“Yes, that’s my dream,” she mumbled. Then, she pulled off his tie and used it to bind his wrists.

The video cut off there. Even Lara, who thought she was pretty shameless, turned bright red watching this.

Drinking really could lead to trouble. And now she was in deep trouble.

That evening, Lara met with Shawn face to face.

In the restaurant’s private room, she forced a smile. “How about I treat you to dinner as an apology?”

“Watched the video? Do you think you did something wrong?” Shawn asked casually.

“Hah…” Lara let out an awkward laugh. Whatever he wanted to say, fine. She had done what she did, and he had recorded it.
