•Juliet POV•

The blaring sound of my phone vibrated harshly against the oxblood blanket, slicing through the thick silence of the room. My hand trembled slightly as I reached for it, the screen glowing with an incoming call from Mr. Braden.

I pressed the answer button and held it to my ear. “Hello, Mr. Braden,” I greeted, my voice barely above a whisper despite my effort to sound composed.

“Miss Ryder,” his crisp voice replied. “I’ve been reviewing the court proceedings and wanted to inform you that the date has finally been set. The first hearing is scheduled for tomorrow morning.”

My heart pounded dully in my chest. I had nearly forgotten about the lawsuit amid the chaos of Jace’s disappearance. Worry and exhaustion clouded my mind.

“I’ve passed the information on to Mr. Grigs,” he continued, “though he’s showing signs of reluctance. He seems to think this is one of those cases he can simply buy his way out of.”

I nodded slowly, though he couldn’t see me. “Thank you, Mr. Braden. I…

Holy crap Edward was right. I was kinda on the fence, but James is so greasy that I knew he’d be slimy enough to do it. Good job to the author. It was a nice surprise to suddenly come on here and see a chapter after already reading one today.

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 207

    •Juliet POV•I wrapped my arms over my chest as I stared at the view of the city, tears rolling down my face. I couldn’t believe this, everything felt like a bad nightmare I was caught in, and no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t wake up from it.The cold coming from the air conditioner in the office seeped into my skin, like tiny needles prickling my pulse. I let out a raspy breath as my mind drifted to my past with James. I remembered how I had found his behavior strange back then... and yet I still fell for it.“You’re such a fool,” I muttered to myself, my voice low and bitter. “If you’d stuck to your gut, maybe this wouldn’t have happened.”I sniffled and wiped my tears with my palm, feeling an ache deep in my chest. I rubbed my hand against my forehead like it would ease the pain building inside me.“Jules, I need to talk to you.” Vera’s voice came through, pulling me out of the storm of my thoughts. She knocked lightly on the door, turning the knob. I heard her try to open it

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 206

    •Edward POV•I watched as Juliet walked out without looking back. Her shoulders were slightly hunched, and even though she tried to hold herself together, I could hear her soft sniffles fading down the hallway. I could only imagine how she must’ve been feeling right now.Every of her attempt to get her company back in business was failing. I sighed, shoving my hand through my hair as my mind spun, thinking of the next move to take.Rona sat in front of her monitor, eyes glued to the screen like she was waiting for just one positive comment to pop up. But none came, her face tightened in frustration before she groaned and slammed the laptop shut, standing up sharply.Vera stood not far from me, typing quickly on her phone, her brows furrowed in focus.Then my gaze drifted to Dora.I let it linger there, narrowing my eyes a little. She wore that same calm, supportive look. If Eric hadn’t told me what he saw, she would’ve been the last person I’d suspect. That’s what made it sting even m

    •Juliet POV•I crouched to Jace’s level and brushed my hand against his curly hair that fell to his forehead before pulling him close for a hug. He wrapped his hands around my neck.“Be good for Mommy, okay?” I whispered.Jace smiled when we pulled out of the hug, nodding softly. “Okay, Mommy.”I smiled back and then turned to Mila, who was standing close to us with her backpack hung on her shoulder. “And you too, Mila,” I said, taking her hand softly.“Okay, Miss Ryder,” she said cheerfully, and I straightened up, watching as Jace and Mila walked down to the entrance of school.I kept my eyes on them until I could no longer see them. My chest tightened a little before I finally turned toward Vera, who was standing by the car, leaning against it while scrolling through her phone.“I can’t say this is good, after the government shut down the company for investigation,” Vera mumbled, staring at her phone screen. “The comments online have finally died down.”I walked over slowly, my hand

    •Edward POV•I pulled Juliet close in a cuddle as I kissed her on the forehead. She was still fast asleep, and seeing how peaceful she was sleeping made me smile.I gently shifted from her and stood up from the bed, thinking of what to do. It’s been days since Jace’s perfume incident, and even though it seems like we're getting close to figuring things out, I feel uncertain about it.I shoved my hand through my hair and walked over to the nightstand. I picked up my phone and checked the time before dropping it back. I needed to get dressed and check on how far Eric had gone with investigating.By the time I got out of the bathroom and pulled on a black shirt and black pants, Juliet stirred from sleep and sat up, staring at me with sleepy eyes.“Good morning, my love,” she mumbled as she stretched her hand to the nightstand to grab her phone.“How are you feeling this morning?” I asked as I walked over to meet her. I placed a soft kiss on her forehead and lips before walking over to ge

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 203

    •Edward POV•I picked up the perfume bottle from the table and stared at it for a while before dropping it back on the table. “James is smart, I mean, how did he come up with this idea?” I muttered as I took a step away from the table, now facing Eric. “Isn't this against the law? Can’t we sue James?”Eric who was scrolling through his tab and writing something down, looked up at me and shook his head slightly. “We could’ve done that, but it’s just that we don’t have solid evidence against him. He might deny it in court.”“Yeah, James has a way of manipulating things,” I said, walking towards the door. “I have to go home now. Keep up with the investigation. If you find anything else, please reach out to me.”Eric nodded, and I walked out of the storage room, making my way down the hallway. I shoved my hand through my hair, thinking about how the day had been. I could feel it in me, we were close to getting rid of James for real this time.When I got to the last floor of the building a

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 202

    •Juliet POV•My eyes widned in shock as the realization hit me. My voice shook as I muttered, “That means... the perfume out there is just a replica of Jace Perfume.”Vera’s face tightened. She let out a slow breath and nodded. “This must’ve been how James did it. He took the original and replaced it with fakes. No wonder people were getting burns and rashes. It wasn’t ours.”My stomach knotted painfully. I felt dizzy for a second, but I pushed through it and stepped closer to the cartons stacked in front of me. My hand touched one of the bottles again, fingertips trailing over the label. “Vera, please get Dora and Eric’s attention right away,” I said, forcing my voice to stay steady.Vera didn’t waste a second. “Okay,” she said, turning and rushing back into the building.I stayed there, picking up another bottle. The changes were clearer now. The color wasn’t right. The scent was off. And the tiny details, our rose design, the little spark words wasn't there. My chest tightened as
