Chapter 215

Author: Sienna Yates
In this day and age, divorce had become a nearly impossible task.

Her lawyer had already told her more than once: if it could be helped, a divorce by mutual agreement was the fastest and cleanest way out.

If she chose to go through legal proceedings, just the court review alone would take about six months. And if she wanted to divide property, given the complexities of the Biggs family's assets, it might stretch to nine months or more.

Before even getting to court, they'd first have to go through mediation—at least another month. Only if mediation failed would the court officially file the case.

The lawyer politely said to her, "Even if both of you eventually agree to the divorce, because there's a child involved and Mr. Biggs hasn't committed any serious offense, the court is very likely to deny the request."

"I know that sounds ridiculous," he added. "But this is the reality. I've handled divorce cases for years—this kind of situation is more common than you'd think. If you wan

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 846

    After Thomas left, Sharon sat alone on the stone bench, gazing at the scenery around her.To be honest, the garden was breathtakingly beautiful, tinged with a faint air of romance. Even sitting here by herself, she didn't feel the least bit bored.Resting one hand on the stone table, she found the stillness and quiet seeping into her bones, making her drowsy. She had been busy and exhausted lately, and before she knew it, her head sank onto her arms.She actually drifted off for a while.A cool breeze stirred, snapping her awake.Checking the time, she was startled to see that twenty minutes had already passed.The garden wasn't far from the banquet hall. It would take ten minutes at most for a round trip. Could something have happened?Unease prickled at her. She pulled out her phone and dialed Thomas's number. The call rang endlessly with no answer. She started to worry.Biting her lip, Sharon slipped off her shoes, intending to go look for him.Just then, footsteps sounded

    "Y-You bastard! Do you even know who I am?!" Oscar's eyes blazed red with fury. "I'll kill you!"Thomas's lips curved faintly, his mouth parting to release words as cold as ice. "Then let's see if you have the ability."The contempt in his voice pierced sharper than any blade, shredding Oscar's pride.Never in his life had Oscar suffered such humiliation. Never had anyone dared look down on him so brazenly.Ignoring the pain of his broken arm, he swung his other fist at Thomas in a reckless charge.Thomas shifted back a step, then struck—a swift kick to Oscar's shin, right at its weakest point."Arghh!"Oscar collapsed, sprawling onto the ground in a pathetic heap. His aristocratic poise evaporated; he looked more like a disgraced criminal than a noble son."Who the fuck are you? Tell me your name!" Oscar snarled through clenched teeth. His once-decently handsome face twisted in rage as he glared upward.Thomas looked down at him from above, his gaze indifferent."You don't d

    The guy's voice dripped with lechery, thick with sordid desire.Thomas didn't so much as glance in that direction. His steps never faltered. He had no intention of interfering."Oscar, if you dare lay a finger on me, my brother will kill you!""Johanna, don't worry. I'll take responsibility. Once I come to your family to propose, your brother won't dare kill me.""I'd rather die than marry you!"Oscar cut her off with a low, mocking laugh. "By then, whether you marry or not won't be yours to decide."Thomas's expression remained impassive, his face carved from stone. He even quickened his pace.Just then, a woman stumbled out of the flowerbeds ahead, hair disheveled, steps frantic."Johanna, stop running. You can't escape me!"She bolted blindly forward, only to spot a tall figure standing not far away. Her eyes lit instantly with hope, and she ran straight toward him."My name is Johanna Walton!" she blurted breathlessly. "This man is trying to assault me. If you save me, I'

    Sharon snapped out of her thoughts and turned toward Thomas. "Not particularly. I just don't see these types very often."The garden path was paved with delicate, artful cobblestones—beautiful to look at, but treacherous for anyone in high heels.Whether because of the uneven path or her own distraction, Sharon's foot suddenly slipped. She nearly fell, but Thomas's quick reflexes caught her in time.Even so, the misstep left her ankle slightly twisted.She drew in a sharp breath. Before she could steady herself, her body lifted clean off the ground—Thomas had swept her into his arms.Startled, she froze, words poised on her lips. But in the next instant, he had already carried her to the nearby pavilion and set her gently on a chair.He crouched before her, removing her high heels with practiced ease.Under the warm glow of the garden lights, his fingers gleamed faintly as he lifted her foot, brows furrowed in concentration while he examined her reddened ankle.His touch was fi

    Johanna didn't so much as blink. "No problem."For the Walton family, arranging the release of someone like Kelly was hardly an effort.Satisfied at last, Kelly asked, "What is it you want to know?"…Half an hour later, Johanna walked out of the prison with a look of quiet satisfaction.Before leaving, she had told Kelly, "The day after tomorrow, my people will come to get you out."Kelly had smiled sweetly. "Thanks. If you ever have more questions, feel free to ask me anytime."But once Johanna's figure disappeared from view, a shadow crossed Kelly's expression. Her lips curled into a cold, sinister smile.So, she couldn't remember the details from back then? Perfect.Even if Johanna really was the woman Thomas had been searching for, Kelly would find a way to make her look like she wasn't. As long as Thomas began to doubt Johanna—believing she was an impostor—then Kelly could still regain his trust.Of course, lying was an art. She had to be careful not to let Johanna catc

    "Because of Sharon, I've crossed paths with Thomas a few times. You could say we know each other, but we're hardly close," Kelly replied evenly.Victoria held Kelly's gaze. "You know very well that's not what I mean."Feigning confusion, Kelly replied, "I really don't understand what you're implying."Victoria glanced at Johanna. Johanna nodded, her lips curving into a half-smile as she looked Kelly straight in the eye."Kelly, are you pretending to be Thomas's benefactor?"Kelly's pupils contracted violently; she nearly lost control of her expression. Still, she forced composure. "I don't know what you're talking about."But Johanna began calmly recounting, word for word, everything Thomas had told her.At first, Kelly managed to keep her face composed. But the more Johanna revealed, the paler she grew. Her fingers clenched tightly in her lap, trembling.He had told Johanna the exact same story he'd once told her.Victoria caught every flicker of emotion across Kelly's face,
