Chapter 0423
1 fell slightly dazed the second I received those divorce papers.
After getting into my car, I looked through the papers carefully, examining Nicholas‘ handwriting. Although The strokes weren’t as sharp as before, it was undeniably his handwriting and signature.
I wandered what circumstances had caused his handwriting to be so messy.
A sudden indescribable scene flashed across my mind I would much rather believe that he had signed the papers under extreme annoyance. That explanation would be much easier for me to accept.
Vasmine’s call interrupted my train of thought. She said, ‘I heard from Douglas that you’re back in town. You’ve been so elusive lately that even I can’t get a hold of you.”
I laughed. “What’s up? Did something happen?”
Yasmine laughed along. “Are you free to meet? There have been some developments regarding that thing that you asked Leo to help you keep an eye on.”
“Is that true? Did everything go smoothly?” I asked the driver to head to Jay Caldwell & Co. and told Yasmine, “I’ll head over to the law firm right now.”
“Things haven’t been going very smoothly. The place is secluded and Leo tried following them multiple times, but he always ended up losing them.”
“They’ve been doing this for a long time now, so of course they’re careful with their movements. There’s a high chance that even their driver had been professionally hired.
“Tell Leo to be careful and not to get caught. We don’t want to alert them and scare them off.” Yasmine’s voice turned solemn as she said, “But it wasn’t a total loss as we did gain something. I’ll tell you about it when we meet.”
The entire car ride was silent as I thought about how Nicholas had been so persistent in choosing Claudia. Perhaps I should prepare him a “gift” on the day of our divorce.
I couldn’t imagine what his expression would be like when he saw my “gift“. Would he find our divorce to be thrilling, or would the truth of Claudia’s personal affairs be much more thrilling instead?
At that moment, I had yet to realize that I was no longer able to control my emotions ever since he had severed all ties with me and disappeared from my life,
Throughout the past few days without him, he was still him. Yet, I was no longer the woman I used to be…
When I arrived at the law firm, Yasmine poured me a cup of tea. I held it near my nose to smell it, but I did not take a sip.
“The tea leaves were very expensive! Try it!” Yasmine strongly recommended.
I couldn’t help but laugh as I placed the cup back on the table and said, “Let’s get down to business.”
“Your taste buds are so picky. I can’t help but wonder who spoiled your palette,” Yasmine complained in exasperation, but she was immediately filled with regret as she wished she could take her words back.
Although she knew Nicholas through me, she wasn’t exactly friends with him. But even so, she also knew
The best make the rat move, who knows how many mure years will he have to endure? He also wanted me to tell you that the ont drong & for you Sud her for humif”
