Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 322

That was exactly why they had hoped to settle privately, or use external leverage to force Elara to compromise.

Elara had refused, and bringing in such a powerhouse lawyer meant she intended to fight them to the bitter end.

Even as his confidence wavered, Dominic Reid quickly found himself fueled by a fiery competitiveness.

Taking this to court was undoubtedly bad for their side, but for him, it was an unprecedented opportunity.

If he could somehow defeat a veteran like Ms. Thorne under these circumstances, it would skyrocket his career!

Dominic quickly gathered himself and texted Julian: [Don't panic. I will speak with her first and find a new angle to exploit!]

Julian: [Thanks for the hard work.]

A soft rap sounded against the door.

Vivian Winthrop pushed the door open. "The housekeeper has lunch ready. We can go down to eat."

Julian put his phone away. "Alright, coming."

Vivian waited by the door. As he approached, she reached out to lace her fingers through his. Before closing the door, she cast a final glance at the immaculate desk—looking exactly as it had when he first walked in. She deduced that Julian hadn't actually been working at all, yet she still asked with practiced concern, "Are you finished with your work?"

Julian seemed a little distracted. "Yeah, I'm done."

Vivian lowered her gaze, her voice laced with self-reproach. "The company has been incredibly busy lately. Maybe we should cut back on our dates for now, at least until the workload lessens."

Her absolute devotion made Julian's chest tighten with guilt. He squeezed her hand, leaned down to press a tender kiss to her forehead, and comforted her, "It's fine. It's just a few minor issues, nothing major."

Vivian still looked deeply conflicted. "But... I really want you to get enough rest."

She was always the one who cared for him the most, prioritizing his health above all else.
