Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 292

"Nothing. Every single door is closed."

"I've tried everywhere. Even the law firms in the neighboring cities won't touch my case. Dante's influence is way bigger than I imagined."

Her tone carried a heavy, unavoidable frustration.

Tara's heart sank, and her brow furrowed.

"Dante has lost his mind. He's paranoid and controlling. If he had figured out the truth earlier, maybe it would have mattered, but you're totally done with him now. Everything he's doing is pointless."

With a soft sigh, Tara tried her best to comfort her.

"Don't panic just yet. I'll keep my eyes open here in Harbor Heights and see if I can find a loophole. The second I hear anything, I'll let you know."

They exchanged a few more quick words before hanging up.

The evening breeze was cool. Tara pocketed her phone, masking the worry in her eyes, and turned back to the glamorous chaos of the banquet hall.

Crystal chandeliers cast a sparkling glow over the room as people clinked champagne glasses and exchanged soft, polite laughter.

As she slipped through the crowd, the gentle lilt of a local accent caught her attention.

A small group of wealthy, impeccably dressed women were gathered in a corner, chatting quietly.

One of them was smiling, praising a highly elegant woman in the center of the group.

"Ms. York, congratulations! That divorce settlement you won recently was a masterpiece. Dividing up high-society marital assets is a nightmare, but you walked away with more than half. You're absolutely incredible!"

The woman addressed as Ms. York had a warm demeanor and offered a modest smile.

"It wasn't me at all. All the credit goes to my defense attorney."

"He's the top divorce lawyer in Harbor Heights. He specializes in ultra-wealthy cases and asset division. Almost every major, complicated society divorce brings him in."

"Without Mr. Wycliffe, I would have never been able to fight for that much, let alone walk away clean."

Those few sentences practically set Tara's ears on fire.

She stopped dead in her tracks, her eyes lighting up.

Talk about being in the right place at the right time!
