Seeing the situation, Jaime stopped joking around. "Alright, alright, I''m with you. See you tonight-"
Selena hadn''t slept well the night before, but catching up on sleep wasn''t on her agenda.
Looking at how that jerk acted, it was clear he wasn''t going to agree to a divorce easily. He either dodged the topic or kept dragging it out.
She couldn''t keep letting him lead her around.
It was time to make her own ns.
Selena sat on the sofa, holding her iPad, browsing throughwyers.
There were quite a few famous divorce attorneys known for winning cases in the country, but as soon as they heard the opponent was Bradley from Bet Corporation-the undefeated heavyweight, plus Everett''s reputation-they mostly declined.
Winning or losing wasn''t the main issue; they were mainly afraid of offending Everett and the entire Bet family.
Of course, some lesser-knownwyers saw this as a chance to make a name for themselves by taking on Bradley, hoping to gain fame and attention.
But those types weren''t interested in actually helping her win the case, so what was the point?
Selena scrolled through the options for so long that her head began to throb.
In this world, power and influence are indeed valuable.
That jerk used this to freely bully her.
Ava brewed a pot of herbal tea and brought it over.
"Ma''am, if your head''s hurting, maybe take a break and have some hot tea."
Selena murmured a soft acknowledgment, took the teacup, and sipped.
Ava nced at thewyers'' profiles and suddenly remembered something. "Ma''am,st time when I was
doing yourundry, I found awyer''s business card in your pocket. Do you still need it?"
Awyer''s business card?
Selena then recalled the mboyantwyer she met in France. His name was... ine.
Pondering over the name, her eyes suddenly lit up.
She picked up the iPad again, entered the name, and clicked search.
Soon, information about him appeared on the screen.
Ava, not knowing much about these things, eximed in surprise.
"Wow, this ine guy is impressive! He''s an internationally renownedwyer!"
Selena hadn''t paid much attention to the al world and was genuinely Su to discover ine''s el impressive background.
He had numerous titles.
Every case he had won was notable.
We
But awyer of his caliber wouldn''t be short of work or money and was
likely financially free. Why W
approach her deliberately at the casino?
Selena pondered for a moment and eventually had Ava fetch the business card.
Then, she made a phone call.
The line was picked up quickly.
he
ine''s voice was as smooth and captivating as ever, "Mrs. Bet, I''ve been expecting your call." Selena didn''t waste words with him. "Whatever your reason foring to me, I just need one answer from you."
"What is it?"
"Can you win my divorce case against Everett?"
ine stood by therge
Ceiling window, gazing at the
s clouds, a confident the
smile
on his lips.
"Absolutely."
"I''ll help you achieve whatever you desire."
In the afternoon, Selena visited ine''s office.
His office wasvishly decorated, with each item clearly being exquisite, especially the painting on the
wall.
It was a priceless antique.
As Selena observed, she quietly contemted.
ine was likely wealthier and more powerful than he appeared.
He was probably more than just awyer.
Meanwhile, ine was watching her, or more precisely, studying her features.
He couldn''t help but marvel internally.
So familiar...
