The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 155

155 /340

Initially, Riley just wanted the divorce over with as quickly as possible. But since Pierce refused to do things the easy way, there was no reason for her to play the martyr.

Not to mention, he had sabotaged her placement in Statenbury and ruined all her plans. He was going to pay for that.

However... "Pierce is acting like a lunatic right now. I'm worried he'll come after your job."

"It's just a few clients. No big deal. Out with the old, in with the new. You have to trust my skills."

"What if he gets you disbarred?"

"Do you think a law license is that easy to revoke? I don't have any major cases or high-profile clients right now anyway. He has no leverage on me. Don't worry."

A wave of warmth washed over Riley. Her husband had betrayed her, her parents had abandoned her, but Quinn stood by her side without hesitation. "Thank you for never giving up on me, Quinn."

"Oh, stop being so mushy. We're practically family. We shared a dorm room for four years."

They had been college roommates and had shared countless late-night talks.

Riley smiled. "If you really do lose your license, I'll support you."

"For real?"

"For real."

After hanging up, Riley headed to a real estate agency. Since she was filing a lawsuit, there was no point in keeping up appearances with Pierce. It was time to move out of Golden Sands Cove.

Now that she wasn't moving to Statenbury, she didn't need to crash at Quinn's place. Her parents certainly wouldn't welcome her back, so she needed a place of her own.

Buying wasn't an option right now—she didn't have the cash. She would have to wait for the asset division from the divorce to settle. For now, renting was the only way.
