I left the house.
Grace drove to the law firm at a fast speed. She decided to settle things quickly and no longer entangle with them.
Arrived at the law firm.
She went straight to her friend Wendy Terrell’s office. As soon as she sat down, she gulped down a mouthful of tea. Because she was in a hurry, she choked and coughed continuously, her face turning red.
Tears fell without me realizing it.
Wendy just hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and handed over a piece of paper. She then patted her on the back and said, “Why are you in such a hurry to drink? How come you have time to come to me today?”
Taking the tissue, Grace wiped the corner of her eye, looked up, met Wendy’s gaze, and said seriously, “I want a divorce. I want you to be my lawyer. Do you have confidence in winning against the Morgan Group?”
Wendy looked at Grace in astonishment.
She couldn’t believe that Grace would actually give up on Owen. After all, she had watched Grace slowly spiral down, almost to the point of hitting rock bottom.

Wendy felt heartbroken as she watched her friend, who was fragile, sensitive, and repressed. Deep down, she sincerely hoped that she could live a happy and fulfilling life, but she also respected her choices.
When she got married, she was Grace’s bridesmaid, but when she got divorced, she was Grace’s lawyer.
Whether it’s marriage or divorce, she is willing to stand by her side afterwards. With a clear mind, Wendy reached out and wiped Grace’s tears away, saying, “Don’t cry, suing people is my specialty.”
The two of them talked for the whole afternoon.
Finally, all the documents were sorted out before it got dark. Grace blinked her dry eyes and glanced at Wendy under the light.
In the beginning, she was almost stubbornly determined to marry Owen. Wendy advised her to be cautious, but she wouldn’t listen. Sometimes people have to experience suffering themselves in order to understand.
She didn’t tell Wendy about everything that had happened during these days. She didn’t dare to.
She was afraid of hearing words like ‘I told you so’ or ‘I knew it’ as it would only deepen her pain, but what she didn’t expect was that Wendy didn’t ask anything.
Grace only felt that her soul had been comforted for a moment.
Noticing the gaze, Wendy looked up and smiled at her, “Are you hungry? Shall we go eat something?”

Grace nodded.
I drove to the restaurant. When I arrived, I got out of the car. Grace, wearing a light gold long dress, stepped out and her fair and beautiful skin touched the ground.
As soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of many people. At a second glance, one could see a hint of sadness in her eyes, like a white jasmine blooming faintly in the deep valley, cold and fragile.
In a fleeting moment of astonishment in Wendy’s eyes, which quickly disappeared, he reached out and took her hand, whispering softly, “All the documents are ready, are you really determined to file for divorce?”
Grace was stunned for a moment.
She knew that Wendy was afraid she would regret it, so she gently patted her arm and said seriously, “I promise.”
That’s good.
After receiving a response, Wendy’s heart finally settled, allowing her to have no worries.

On the other side.
Owen returned home with a serious expression on his face. As soon as he looked up, he saw Hannah sitting on the sofa, looking surprised as she raised her head and said, “You’re back? How come you’ve been gone for several days? Did you go on a business trip? You didn’t even

“Hmm.”

Owen loosened his tic, glanced at Hannah’s crutch. Oh well, he thought, he would let her walk when she was healed.
Hannah suddenly realized something was wrong. She looked up, about to speak, when the sudden ringing of her phone interrupted her. She glanced at it, reached out to hang up, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.
Owen didn’t care and went upstairs to the study. He turned on the computer and saw Grace’s photo and the itinerary sent by his assistant.
Mr. and Mrs. Morgan arrived at Rivestone Law Firm at 1:10, and left at 7:20. It can be inferred that Mrs. Morgan intended to proceed with the divorce litigation process.
A faint blue light reflected in Owen’s eyes.
He furrowed his brow, slid the mouse, and the cursor landed on Grace’s face in the photo. The sky was dark, her eyes shining brightly, looking at the people around her.
His gaze shifted to the left and landed on Wendy, the familiar affection in her eyes reflecting in his own.
Owen bent slightly forward, his deep gaze lingering for a long time. After scrutinizing for a while, his heart sank slightly as he realized there was another person with foolish and unrealistic thoughts.
In a quiet space.
He fell silent for a moment, his eyes flashing a hint of coldness. He tapped on the keyboard with his fingertips and sent out an email.
Pressured Rivestone Law Firm.
