It’s exactly the same here as when Jennifer left.
The only difference is, no Jennifer.
Brayan thought he was very tired and would fall asleep soon, but he ended up staying awake all night.
People can stop, but time won’t.
Monday came as scheduled.
Jennifer and Brayan were both prepared for this divorce case, each on their own side.
However, before they both arrived at the court, the court had already been surrounded by news media, internet celebrities, and grassroots feminist organizations.
When Jennifer and Brayan got the news, the trending topic on the internet had already exploded./
Rich man scumbag! The LeBlanc Group leader Brayan cheated on his wife, and now she’s suing for divorce!
On that day, the LeBlanc Group’s stock plummeted by 57%, wiping out nearly 80 billion in market value.
Jennifer stayed home all day to avoid trouble.
The news about Brayan cheating on his wife came out online, and now he’s getting a divorce from his original partner.
But didn’t explicitly reveal who the original partner was.

However, the other party made it very clear that Terrance was the original lawyer.
Jennifer thought, “The other person knew that Brayan’s wife was her.”
At first, public opinion was only targeting Brayan.
But after the heat died down, one after another new trending topics followed suit.
Brayan’s ex–wife couldn’t have children, is divorce her fault?
Was the divorce lawsuit just a cover? Brayan’s wife cheated with a male lawyer.
No matter how you look at it, Jennifer felt like the trending topic storm was deliberately orchestrated by someone behind the scenes. Going to court at this critical moment would only get caught by those lurking media reporters. So Jennifer asked Terrance to request a court delay.
There was no news from Brayan’s side.
Jennifer understood that Brayan didn’t reach out to her because he was busy dealing with things at the company.
This trending topic can be said to be the biggest scandal since the establishment of the LeBlanc Group.
Jennifer saw online that “the LeBlanc Group’s stock price plummeted and market value evaporated on that day, suffering heavy losses.”
The subsidiary started a large–scale layoff, and some even jumped off the building because they lost their jobs.

Although the police and ambulance arrived early, they managed to
catch the person with an inflatable rescue cushion when they jumped down.

But the other party was still injured and in a very unstable mental state when taken to the hospital.
Jennifer didn’t expect things to escalate to this point.
She called Terrance and asked him directly if he had leaked the information.
“Please, Ms. Griffin, don’t question my professionalism. What benefit do I get from leaking information about the parties and the case? Not to mention that applying for a secret court hearing is written into the contract. If I violate the contract, I will have to pay a hefty penalty and damage my reputation. I may be a lecherous person with a bad character, but I’m not stupid enough to ruin my own livelihood.”
The phone was hung up by Terrance.
Jennifer could tell that Terrance was also upset.
The lawsuit was originally taken by Terrance because she threatened him. But unexpectedly, before the lawsuit even started and the legal fees were earned, she already got herself into trouble.
Holding her phone, Jennifer thought Terrance’s words made sense, “Leaking this court hearing wouldn’t do Terrance any good.”
Normally, court hearings are supposed to be public, but because of Brayan’s special status, to avoid unnecessary trouble and stabilize the company’s stock, both she and Brayan submitted a request for a secret hearing to the court.
The court approved it too.
“So who was it in the end? And for what purpose?”
Jennifer muttered to herself, holding her phone, debating whether to reach out to Brayan.

Catie Studio.
In the manager’s office.
Catalina didn’t have much of an appetite all day, she was constantly keeping an eye on the LeBlanc Group and what was happening online.
Originally, she deliberately had Curtis persuade Jennifer to attend Lennon’s party because Jaxon told her that lawyer Terrance could be useful.
Terrance, this guy, has experience and a reputation in handling divorce
cases.
He was also quite flirtatious.
Catalina’s original plan was to have Jennifer get involved with Terrance, or vice versa.
Since Jennifer wanted a divorce, she wouldn’t give up Terrance as her trump card.
Terrance saw Jennifer, he definitely fell for her beauty.
No matter what really happened between them, as long as Jennifer became Terrance’s client, Brayan knew he would feel disgusted and suspicious of Jennifer.
And once the lawsuit really got going, with Terrance’s expertise, even facing the lawyers from the LeBlanc Group, Jennifer had a great chance of winning.
Catalina wanted Jennifer to win, of course.
