"Xavier, what do you mean?"
Miranda frowned and asked.
"If you don't have Mr. Quell's weakness in your hands, you will lose. But if you do, there will still be a chance for you to turn the situation around."
"What can I do to reverse the situation?" Miranda laughed mockingly. "I understand what you mean. You want me to fight with him."
"Judging from your tone of voice, it seems that you have something on him. Am I right?" Xavier paused for a few seconds and exclaimed, "If so, things will be easy!"
"I've been with him for so many years. Of course, I would have something on him. It's just..." Miranda trailed off.
Just as the words were about to come out of her mouth, she suddenly stopped talking and did not continue.
Xavier immediately urged, "Aunt Miranda, what do you have in mind? Can you tell me? Let me analyze the situation for you."
"Forget it." Miranda obviously did not want to speak further on the subject. "I don't want to say anything else. Xavier, you don't understand. Let me think about it again."
"Aunt Miranda, I have confirmed the case of Marry and Simon. They will be prosecuted. By then, we won't be able to do anything," Xavier explained. "If you want to save Marry, you have to hurry up and make a decision. Don't delay until the prosecution. Then, you will be on the right track."
"I know," Miranda replied solemnly. "I know that even if you didn't tell me."
Xavier fell silent. Since that was the case, he didn't need to say more.
"Xavier, I don't want to divorce him."
Xavier was quiet for a while before suggesting, "Well, in this case, you can beg Mr. Quell. Generally, people like him will be softhearted and not hard-headed. You should show him your weak side. Who knows, maybe he has a heart of compassion."
Miranda shook her head and answered helplessly, "I think the possibility is too small. He is the kind of person who will not change his mind after making a decision."
"Alas... You want to save Marry, yet you don't want to get a divorce. I'm afraid it'll be difficult," Xavier remarked. "You can't have the best of both worlds."
"Perhaps." Miranda had no faith in herself. She then muttered, "Xavier, I'm really going to be done for this time."
Xavier fell speechless after a while.
"Xavier?" Miranda called out.
"Yes?"
Miranda realized something and said, "Don't worry, I have Diego's weakness in my hands. I will also help you with your affairs. For now, you have to find a way to kidnap Grace or Alice again, but preferably Grace's child. It'll be easier for us to negotiate that way."
"Okay, I'll do my best." After that, Xavier quickly hung up the phone.
Miranda sat in the room, her narrowed eyes filled with hatred. She began to pack up and was ready to head back to the capital city.
Little did she know, Diego had already asked for a lawyer to help him file for a divorce.
As soon as Miranda opened the door, the butler came up and informed her, "Madam Scott, the lawyer is waiting to meet you now."
"Lawyer?" Miranda was stunned. "What lawyer?"
"The lawyer who is handling the divorce," the butler replied. "Madam Scott, please sign the papers and start the legal process."
Miranda was utterly shocked.
"H-How could he be so cruel to get rid of me this quickly. What a cruel man! I doubt that he has ever loved anyone."
Miranda gritted her teeth, and her expression fell.
She couldn't understand why Diego seemed to be in such a rush. He was so anxious to get rid of her.
