Semua Bab Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire: Bab 271 - Bab 280

Dillon’s POV I called Cassandra to fill her in on my phone call with Jordyn. Honestly, I was glad that he’d finally decided to take action. After Cassandra overheard the conversation at Stanley’s celebration of life, where Vivienne confessed to all the shit she’d done, we’d told Jordyn, of course. With Cassandra’s testimony and the evidence we had from my private detective, we had more than enough evidence to press charges against Vivienne for black mail, malicious bribery, kidnapping, and attempted murder. But at the end of the day, it had been Jordyn’s decision and Jordyn’s alone to make. So when he told us that he didn’t want to press charges, Cassandra and I had no choice but to support him. However, apparently he’d changed his mind, and I was happy that he’d reached out to me for help. I told Cassandra that we were all meeting at our place that evening: Stella and Cameron, myself and Cassandra, and Jordyn, Jordyn’s father, Howard, and Laura.

Cassandra’s POV I went with Jordyn and Stanley to the police station the next morning for moral support. Even though it had been a long night, we all had a nervous energy. Part of me still couldn’t believe Jordyn was doing this. I mean, Vivienne was his mother, even though she was a really shitty one. There had to be a part of him that was sad about all of this.If everything worked according to plan, Vivienne would be behind bars later that day. It was surreal to think about. That woman had made my life miserable for so long, it was almost inconceivable that she was finally getting what she deserved.I was really proud of Jordyn for finally standing up to his mother. I hated that it had to be like this, and I’m sure he’d need a lot of therapy after sending his mother away to jail, but he was giving himself the chance at a new start, and a life without his toxic mother.I was also happy for Howard. He deserved to have Stanley’s company, just as he deserved a life without his a

Dillon’s POV Sometimes, I really liked being a lawyer. This was one of those times. I was at the courthouse, filing my whack of papers. First, there was the court order that would force the reading of the will. I was filing the order on grounds of ‘pending criminal charges’, which would expedite the reading. Next up were Howard’s divorce papers. There was something really satisfying about helping someone end a bad marriage. I thought back to the divorce papers I’d drawn up for Cassandra all those months ago. Divorce papers from Jordyn, who was, ironically now the reason I was here, filing more divorce papers. I was happy that Howard was divorcing Vivienne, just as I’d been happy that Cassandra had been divorcing Jordyn. For very different reasons, though, obviously. And finally, I had the court orders which would immediately freeze all of Vivienne’s assets the moment the will was read on the grounds of pending criminal charges, a

Cassandra’s POV We parallel parked on the busy street outside the law office. Dillon would be meeting us there, but Cameron, Dillon, and Stella, and Laura would have to wait outside, since they weren’t named in the will and there were privacy legalities.So it was just Jordyn, Howard, and I, and we ascended the stairs into the law office.“Nervous?” I asked Jordyn as we entered the lobby area.“Surprisingly, no,” he said, with a slight grin. “I think I’m just excited to get this over this. I mean, my feelings about this are complicated. There’s a part of me that will always love her. She’s my mother, after all. But she made choices and these are the consequences.”I nodded. I was personally really looking forward to seeing Vivienne in handcuffs. She’d made my life a living hell while I was married to Jordyn, and she’d hurt people I love. I didn’t like the thought of a court room trial. I’d have to testify, obviously, but Laura assured us the court case would be pretty stra

Jordyn’s POV My eyes flew open in shock. Right before he CHANGED the WILL? The room fell dead silent as we all processed what Larry had just said. Larry waited patiently for us to absorb his shocking words. My grandfather changed his will? The night before he died? At the last very last moment? That wasn’t like my grandfather at all! He’d been a very meticulous man, always one step ahead, always planning. Changing his will at the last moment was such a spontaneous thing to do. It didn’t make sense. My mind reeled as I sat there, bewildered. Why? Why would he do that? What could have possibly caused him to make a last minute change to a will he’d surely had finalized months, if not years before his death. I mean, it wasn’t like this was some small thing.This was his WILL! This was the document that would determine who received all his assets, who would have his empire. His company, his estate, al
