The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 245

Could it be that he had actually fallen in love with this woman?

Jocelyn tapped her index finger lightly against the table.

"You were right about one thing. I truly have absolutely nothing."

"So, what else do you think I have left to lose? If I don't get what I want, then I will gladly drag this divorce lawsuit out with you for as long as it takes."

"Oh, right. The lawyer handling my divorce case goes by the last name Blaine."

Adrian was visibly stunned.

Blaine?

Could it really be the undefeated Attorney Blaine?

He was incredibly hard to hire and notoriously eccentric. Even if you offered him a fortune, it ultimately depended entirely on his mood.

If he was in a good mood, he might do the legal work entirely for free, refusing a single cent.

If he was in a bad mood, he would charge an arm and a leg, demanding an exorbitant fee.

Jocelyn smirked.

"Yes, exactly the Attorney Blaine you're thinking of."

Adrian looked at her in absolute disbelief.

"You actually managed to hire him?"

Jocelyn hummed. "Uh-huh. I guess I just got lucky and caught him in a good mood."

Adrian frowned. "His fees aren't cheap."

Jocelyn nodded confidently. "I have enough to cover that."

Adrian scoffed. "Where did you get the money? I know exactly how empty your pockets are."

Jocelyn flashed a faint, ambiguous smile.

"Did Diana Evans not tell you? That doesn't make sense."

Adrian was confused.

"Stop speaking in riddles."

Jocelyn deliberately paused for a few seconds.

"Do you remember the six billion in debt the Evans family owed?"

His voice dripped with condescension.

Jocelyn didn't get angry; instead, she smiled. "As long as you agree to transfer them to me, I'll figure out the money myself."

Adrian shook his head. "Impossible. I am taking The Evans Group, no matter what. As for this divorce lawsuit, if you want to fight it out, I'll indulge you. The Lowell family can easily stomach whatever damages it causes."

Jocelyn fell silent for a moment. Her smile faded, and she subconsciously placed a hand over her stomach.

"You really need to think this through, Mr. Lowell. You're only selling The Evans Group back to me; you're not giving it away for free. Once everything is finalized, I will quietly exit the Lowell family's stage. I'll walk away with absolutely nothing else, and from then on, I'll cut all ties with your family completely."

"But if you insist on dragging this out in court, your losses will be far more than just a little bit."

"Setting aside your reputation and the company's losses, do you really not care about your dear sister-in-law at all?"

Adrian froze.

"What does she have to do with this!"

Jocelyn let out a cold laugh.

"I forgot to tell you, Mr. Lowell. That photo you tore up—the one of you and your sister-in-law going into the hotel? I have plenty of copies. Also..."

"I have photos of the two of you getting hot and heavy in the car, too."
