Chapter 215

Penulis: 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

    Uriah looked at Carter with a cryptic smile. "Of course. You're here to get medicine for that girl, aren't you?"Nate blinked in confusion. "Didn't you say you couldn't tell what was wrong with Kelly?""I can't see what's wrong with her," Uriah replied, tone easy. "I guessed it."Nate was speechless. Damn this old man—his mouth is as vicious as Sharon's.Carter had already heard from Nate that this old man had a strange temperament, so he wasn't bothered by the sarcasm. He simply looked into Uriah's eyes and asked, "Then, how much time can you give her?"Uriah glanced at Kelly again.That murky gaze of his, though aged, was as sharp and penetrating as a hawk's. Kelly felt her whole body tense involuntarily, a chill creeping down her spine—as if he had seen right through her.He quickly looked away and declared with calm certainty, "I can cure her."Carter and Nate both froze.This wasn't just some ordinary illness. They had scoured the globe, consulting every renowned doctor t

    Uriah glanced at Carter, his voice low and deliberate. "You… you've got the biggest problem of the three of you today. By far."He gestured toward the chair. "Sit. Let me check—see just how deep this runs."Carter looked over at Nate.Nate rubbed the back of his head, awkward and uneasy. He could tell what Carter was thinking.They'd all heard the rumors—this old man was supposed to be some legendary doctor, a true miracle worker. Nate had spent a fortune and months of effort tracking him down.But now? He couldn't even tell who had the terminal illness? What if he was just a scam artist?Kelly, listening quietly, felt a sudden flicker of hope rise in her chest.So the old man was a fraud.Perfect.Frauds wanted money. And money made them easy to control.She could play along, take whatever medicine he gave her, pretend to follow treatment for a few months, and then declare she was miraculously cured.Problem solved.She'd been worrying about how to fake a recovery without

    Uriah spoke with quiet implication. "You didn't answer the call. How can you be so sure it wasn't something important?"Nate frowned. "You stubborn old man, we're here for treatment, not to exchange pleasantries."Uriah lifted his eyelids slowly. "Treatment for what? Stupidity? Foolishness? Or maybe looking for illness where there is none?"Kelly's eyelashes trembled, her breathing quickening for no apparent reason.Uriah seemed to sense something and turned his gaze toward her."Miss, your breathing's shallow, heart rate's fast… you seem nervous."Kelly forced a smile. "I… I just feel a little stuffy. A bit unwell."Uriah raised his reading glasses slightly, studying her from head to toe."Unwell, huh? You've got a rosy complexion and good energy. Doesn't look to me like anything's wrong."He looked back and forth between the three of them, confusion flickering in his eyes."So… which one of you is the patient?""You can't even tell who's got the terminal illness?" Nate loo

    Some tricks worked once or twice. Push them too far, and they start to backfire.Especially now—Sharon was gone.The person Carter had sent to watch her had already reported back: she'd gone home.As soon as Carter left, Nate's face lit up with the smug satisfaction of a plan falling perfectly into place."I knew it. Sharon couldn't wait for Carter and came running to the hospital instead. Good thing I was prepared, or she really might've gotten her way."Kelly smiled too, the kind of smile that only comes after enduring too many losses and finally tasting a win. She'd been bested by Sharon too many times lately. She needed this—something to pull her out of the fog.She turned to Nate, her voice full of praise. "Nate, you really thought of everything. If it were up to me, I couldn't have come up with all that."Nate beamed, clearly pleased. "Kelly, you're too pure. There's no way you could outmaneuver someone like Sharon. She's downright cunning."He swore he'd never been this

    Seeing Wendy's face practically glowing with excitement, Sharon couldn't help but ask, "What's the good news?""Sharon, you've gone viral!" Wendy nearly shouted, thrusting her phone into Sharon's hands. "Remember when you went with Matty to that competition? Someone—bless their kind soul—streamed a video of you playing the violin online!"You're blowing up! You've almost hit ten million followers! I even heard the video's making the rounds internationally!"Wendy's voice rose with growing exhilaration. "Sharon, didn't you and John plan to do a concert tour? This is the perfect opportunity to ride the wave—it's the best momentum for your comeback!"Wendy, who had once sworn she'd become a top-tier agent and launch a true global star with sheer talent, didn't like to admit it—but even she had to face the truth: in this day and age, traffic was king.No matter how talented you were, if no one was watching, it didn't matter.And to get an audience, people had to know you existed.No
