Sorry Too Late (by J.J. Twelve) novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Congratulations on the Divorce.

There was tension among the girls, and naturally, the same tension existed among the elders.

No one wanted to admit that their child was inferior to someone else’s.

Even Gaius joined the argument.

A group of powerful elites kept arguing over which family’s daughter or granddaughter Evan would choose. Their faces turned red, their necks stiff with agitation. They were arguing so intensely that they no longer cared about maintaining the polished dignity expected of high society.

The scene felt unreal to Hazel and the others.

Even more unbelievable was what happened next. The elites suddenly noticed the girls watching them. At once, they stopped arguing and turned around to look in their direction.

Caught completely off guard, Hazel and her two companions suddenly became the center of everyone’s

attention.

Even the girls wearing wedding gowns turned to look at them.

Estelle curled her lips into a mischievous smile.

“Dad, I think the first thing you all should do is thank the person who made this possible. She generously gave such a great man like Evan to us.”

“Exactly! Otherwise, how would we ever have gotten a chance?”

“We should thank her! We absolutely should!”

“Dad, why don’t you go thank her for us?”

Jememiah, Ginevra, and Serena echoed the sentiment with lofty arrogance.

On this matter, everyone had reached complete agreement-they should thank Hazel for getting divorced.

Of course, they called it gratitude, but it sounded far more like mockery.

To them, Hazel was the stupidest woman in the world. No one else even came close.

At first, Sean and the others hadn’t intended to approach her. But then they thought about how Hazel and her friends would have to pay for their foolishness.

With that in mind, they walked over.

“Wait… Mr. Laurent and the others are coming toward us?”

Seeing so many powerful figures walking straight at them, Hazel and the others panicked instantly.

Instinctively, they stepped back. Fear filled their eyes as they nervously greeted them.

“M-Mr. Laurent…”

The three heiresses were breathing quickly, standing there stiff and helpless.

Whether it was Sean, Raymond, or Flint-each of them was a towering figure, a symbol of Silverton’s upper class.

People they normally only saw on television or in newspapers were now standing right in front of them. The sheer authority they carried was enough to make it hard to breathe.

“Hazel, you came here to finalize your divorce?” Sean asked.

The moment the words were spoken, Hazel froze. She had never expected him to ask that.

“Yes… Is something wrong?”

They nodded nervously, confusion still lingering in their eyes.

Sean smiled helplessly.

“Nothing. I was just asking.” Then he added, “And by the way, congratulations on the divorce.”

“Congratulations. You’re finally free.”

“Happy divorce.”

Raymond, Flint, and Arthur followed with their own words of congratulations.

They were seasoned veterans of politics and high society. How could they possibly say something as blunt as “thank you”? Offering congratulations was a far more polished way of putting it.

But Hazel was completely bewildered.

‘Mr. Laurent and the others are actually congratulating me on getting divorced? What?’

Hazel had never imagined that something as simple as her divorce would attract the attention of so many powerful figures. And now they were lining up to congratulate her for it?

For a moment, Hazel felt deeply flattered, almost overwhelmed. She couldn’t recover from the shock for a long time.

“I know why Mr. Laurent and the others are congratulating Hazel on the divorce!” Anya suddenly exclaimed, her eyes flashing with realization. “It’s still because of the trouble Evan caused with Mr.

Solomon. Mr. Laurent and the others must be sick of the situation too.

“They probably think the sooner the divorce is finalized, the sooner everything can be settled. And Evan’s basically a hot potato now. Nobody wants to get involved with him. So in their eyes, Hazel getting divorced means she’s finally free!”

Hearing this explanation, Hazel and Roxanne both brightened.

It made perfect sense.

Cain had come because of Evan, and the entire upheaval had been caused by Evan as well.

Even though Evan had cleared his name, from Sean’s perspective, the details hardly mattered. All they wanted was peace and stability in Silverton’s elite circle.

Just imagine-if the divorce hadn’t gone through, Cain would probably keep sending people to watch Silverton. Who knew how long that would drag on?

Under those circumstances, it was only natural for Sean and Raymond to congratulate her on the divorce.

Once the three heiresses figured this out, everything suddenly became clear.

Hazel even lifted her chin proudly, a hint of smugness appearing on her face.

‘Hmph! Even powerful men like Mr. Laurent and Mr. Gaunt support my divorce. And you still don’t know what’s good for you? Your only option now is to come over and apologize properly.’
