Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 248

"It would be bad enough if you lost out during the division of pre-marital and post-marital assets," Raymond continued, his tone grave. "But my biggest fear is that Dante's lawyers will aggressively target the proxy marriage certificate and bigamy angles. An ordinary person simply cannot counter that in court."

"Furthermore, during the cross-examination phase, it's incredibly easy to fall into their traps. One wrong word, one incorrect answer, and it will be permanently recorded against you, completely derailing the entire case."

Quinn knew he was right. She looked up, her expression defeated. "Then what am I supposed to do?"

"It isn't over yet, so don't panic," Raymond said steadily. "There will always be a way."

"Instead of sitting here stressing about it, you should go upstairs, take a hot shower, and get a good night's sleep. Otherwise, your body will give out before we even make it to trial."

Quinn realized he was right. Whether she eventually found a lawyer or had to represent herself, staying up all night agonizing over it wouldn't change a thing.

She was better off resting and tackling the problem with a clear head tomorrow.

She looked up at him. The man's deep, dark eyes were filled with silent encouragement and comfort.

Suddenly, she felt incredibly grateful that he was here with her in a moment like this.

Even if he was just an ordinary man who couldn't offer her much practical help, having his steady presence by her side during this rock-bottom crisis meant more than anything.

"Raymond, are you sure you don't want to go finalize our divorce?"

Quinn felt that since their marriage was originally just an agreement of mutual convenience, he deserved the right to walk away.

She felt deeply guilty for dragging him into such a passive, dangerous situation.

"I really don't think you should be mixed up in this anymore."

"When disaster strikes, it's every man for himself. Besides, our marriage was fake anyway."

"Even if we get the divorce papers, you can still be my bodyguard. I'll still pay your salary."
