Jasper chuckled. “Cut it out. Did you have breakfast? Come on, let’s grab something inside.”

“No, don’t want to waste time. I heard Mr. Alfred and Mr. Caldwell are giving a lecture today?”

“Yeah.”

Amelia nodded. Opportunities like this didn’t come often, and it was a perfect chance to soak up some knowledge.

“Then lead the way, quickly. I want a good seat in the front row.”

Jasper said, “After this, I have lunch with Cyrus. You can talk to him about your divorce appeal.”

He looked concerned. “Christopher won’t agree to the divorce?”

Amelia clenched her teeth. “He has never taken my requests seriously.”

Even leaving, he treated her with that same cold indifference, as if her wanting to leave was something she had to beg for.

She was tired of playing that game and didn’t have the energy to keep going back and forth with him. Rather than get stuck in a battle with him, she decided to take control herself.

“I’ll go see him once everything’s over today. Thanks, Jasper. You’ve helped me a lot.”
