Chapter 10 The Custodian

Author: Panda's Treasure
Anthony drove off in the X5 early the next morning, grabbing a quick breakfast and heading to the airport right after.

Rachel was already waiting in the VIP departure lounge by the time he got there. She was in a beige suit, looking sharp despite the slight bruises under her eyes.

She nodded at him in greeting. "Everything's all accounted for, Mr. Crestellan. Someone will pick us up in Porton. It's all confidential. It won't be traced back to you."

He grunted in understanding and boarded th

    Zack smiled as he greeted. "Anthony!" The dejection he felt from his recent termination disappeared just like that.Leslie punched Anthony's shoulder. "I missed you, man."Anthony smiled. "Let's talk in the car."They left the station, and Anthony clicked his car key. A new black BMW X5's lights blinked back at them. Leslie was stunned. Then, he circled the car like a curious cat. "Whose car is this?""I just bought it.""You bought it? Seriously?" Leslie's eyes went wide at his confirmation. "Where'd you get the money?"Zack was stunned. He distinctly remembered Anthony driving his old Passat just a month ago."Hop in." Anthony smiled, opened the car door, and got into the car.Leslie wouldn't stop bombarding him with questions along the way. Alas, Anthony only played up the mysterious act, telling them that they'd know the answer once they arrived at their destination.…The car drove into an underground garage in Bresenia's financial district center. Zack and Leslie we

    'Anthony's an able-bodied man. He can make his own money! Why should he leech off me?' Linda thought in horror.After a moment of stunned silence, she asked tremulously, "Is there nothing I can do, Mr. Zweihand? The law protects the underprivileged. If he doesn't get a job or a divorce, he'll drag me down with him.""If we're being technical, he's the underprivileged one now that he doesn't have a job, Ms. Weston. So, you have a duty to support him." Hector spoke like an agent of justice. Linda looked like she'd just eaten something rotten, but he ignored that with practised ease.Her world was crumbling around her, leaving her mind a chaotic mess. She didn't know what to think.It took some time, but Hector eventually noticed clarity returning to Linda's eyes. So, he continued, "If you want to sue for divorce, there are a few things you must know. One, if your spouse objects to your first application, the court will not grant the divorce, and you'll have to wait for six months

  • Too Rich to Divorce   Chapter 28 Finding a Lawyer

    Zweihand Law Firm was in an office building located in Bresenia's older areas, so it wasn't exactly an impressive place. Still, the Internet reviews claimed that Hector Zweihand was a great divorce lawyer who specialized in division of matrimonial assets. So, Linda came here after searching up the Bresenia divorce lawyer rankings.Hector was going through a case file when the receptionist led Linda into the office. He was a man in his early 30s and wore a pair of rimless glasses. He certainly looked capable enough."Ms. Weston? Please, have a seat."She sat down and placed her bag on her lap, her fingers twirling around the strap."Coffee?""No, thanks."Hector closed his case file, leaned on the back of his chair, and looked at Linda calmly. "Why don't you tell me about your case?"Linda took a deep breath, organized her words, and spoke. Unfortunately, it was haphazard and barely coherent. She blurted everything she could think of, starting with Anthony's 4-million-dolla

    Linda found the idea Darius was proposing both annoying and grating, but she couldn't come up with anything better. She definitely didn't want Anthony to find out about her dirty secret.Since she wasn't saying anything, he continued, "Listen to me and talk to a lawyer. If anything goes wrong, you won't get a single cent from the divorce."She had just snapped out of her funk, but his warning made her panic again. Her mind refused to come up with another better plan, so she decided to go with Darius's idea. "Fine, I'll consult a lawyer.""Are the houses under your name?""The one I'm living in, yes. The one in the old area is under Tim's name, and I'm the guardian.""Ask if you can sell them. It's fine if you can't, but at least we'll know about it, and we can come up with a backup plan. Also, take your savings out as soon as possible. It might get frozen when the divorce lands."Darius patiently came up with a string of tasks for her. Linda had no idea what to do, but she didn

    "What? Anthony quit?" Linda cried in dismay."Yes. It was approved last week. You… didn't know about this?"She hung up before the staff member could finish. She stood on the stairs of the school's entrance, unmoving as if she was petrified by Medusa's eyes.'He quit his job and didn't tell me? That's 12 grand a month gone. And he hasn't been doing his part-time jobs for a while now. Wait, he probably quit those as well. That's another 4 grand gone. He's winging it while we're going broke? 'He took out a loan to buy a BMW and another one for Tim's extracurricular classes. He spent a boatload of money on food and stopped managing the household. Is he planning to drag me to hell with him?' she thought in horror.She was starting to panic, feeling her soul getting sucked out of her body and tossed into the abyss. 'I must get that divorce. He'll ruin me if I don't.' That thought slithered into her mind like a mantra. Then, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath to dispel the

    Zack had somehow become the exception to that rule. He'd been getting into all sorts of trouble over the last few months whenever he tried to send the materials. Either the logistics team would run into trouble, or the suppliers themselves would trip him up.After a few more of those obstacles, he eventually figured out that someone was behind this. He'd been working here for four years, and nothing had happened until very recently. His wife was the only reason he could think of. He crossed someone because of her six months ago."You know I'm not that unreliable, Mr. Slim. I'll pay the fine. I'll even accept the punishment the company has set for me, but firing me is going too far."Poverty crushed people. Zack desperately needed this job. So, he had to bow and accept any humiliation just to keep it.Martin Slim puffed out a ring of smoke and shook his head. "I've covered for you more than three times. The client lodged a complaint straight to headquarters. I can't do anything
