Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 454

Elara blinked, instinctively texting back, "I didn't get a notification?"

The trial date was set, so there was no reason the plaintiff wouldn't know.

Gillian replied immediately: "Insider information."

"It was finalized just before closing today. Official notice arrives tomorrow."

Elara understood. Lawyers had their connections. She had them too once, but being out of the game and not specializing in divorce, Gillian was obviously more dialed in.

Gillian: "Congratulations."

"Honestly, with current divorce rates, I thought the court would drag this out for three to five months. I'm surprised they slotted us in so fast."

Elara felt the same. She sent her thanks. "To be honest, I was mentally prepared to wait at least six months."

Two months to trial... an unthinkable speed.

It was a timeline none of them had dared to hope for.

Gillian: "The trial is in ten days. Let's prep hard."

Elara: "Got it. I'll clear my schedule."

The elevator arrived. Elara stepped in after sending her text.

She chatted a bit more about prep, stepping out of the building just as the conversation ended.

Her colleagues from the firm had already left; only a few random office workers lingered at the entrance.

It was beautiful weather and an early quitting time. The sun was setting, splashing a vibrant, egg-yolk orange across the city skyline.

Elara had been so busy raising Melody that she hadn't enjoyed a sunset in years.

Even when Melody started school, sunsets were just a hurried blur on the drive home.
