Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 462

With the surge in divorce cases over recent years, seasoned lawyers could easily estimate docket wait times.

Dominic Shaw had explicitly told Julian it would take at least two more months.

How had it been pushed up this fast?

The clerk wasn't there to provide legal counseling. The message was delivered, and the line went dead.

Julian's mind spun with questions. He almost dialed his lawyer immediately to strategize, but remembering the boardroom full of executives, he shot a quick WhatsApp message to Dominic instead and returned to the meeting.

Half an hour later, the meeting adjourned. Julian instantly checked his messages.

Dominic was equally blindsided, hinting that an invisible hand was clearly pulling strings behind the scenes.

Two names flashed in Julian's mind: Maddox Beckett and Sebastian Vance.

Both had the clout to pull this off. But since Maddox had already secured the best attorney for Elara and effectively blacklisted Julian from top-tier representation, the old man wouldn't bother with petty, under-the-table docket manipulation.

The puppeteer was undoubtedly Sebastian.

Beneath the facade of a favor, Sebastian's true target was Elara.

He loved her. He had lurked in the shadows for years, waiting for their marriage to detonate so he could openly pursue her and claim her for himself.

Right now, Sebastian wanted this divorce more than Elara did.

That lunatic was capable of anything. Julian wasn't surprised in the slightest.

What Julian was desperately curious about was whether Elara knew.

She despised people abusing their power. Now that she was benefiting from that exact privilege, was she furious?

Would she finally see Sebastian for the manipulative snake he was?
