How could his son and that malicious woman resemble a mother–and–son pair?
Clark and Felix went quiet. The two of them exchanged a glance, both sighing helplessly in their hearts.
Bradley’s phone rang.
“It’s me,” Bradley answered the call while walking out of the hospital room to the corridor.
A lawyer in a suit walked up to Bradley with a briefcase and respectfully greeted him, “Mr. Warner.”
“Let’s talk inside.” Bradley pushed open the door of the
hospital ward and signaled the lawyer to follow him into the study.
He handed the pre–
signed divorce agreement from Esther to the lawyer and asked in a deep voice, “With this divorce. agre
ement, I entrust you to handle all the related procedures.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The divorce agreement, bearing Esther’s personal signature, was meticulously drafted by this lawyer. T
he terms of the agreement were stringent, ensuring the utmost protection of Bradley’s interests.
“Mr. Warner, according to the regular process, after signing the divorce agreement, both parties need to
bring their relevant documents to the office to obtain a divorce certificate, “said the lawyer.
Bradley thought of Esther’s selective amnesia and could not help but ask with a headache, “Under wha
t circumstances does
it not require both parties to be present?”
“According to our country’s marriage laws, if one party cannot be present due to other factors, such as
being imprisoned or in a comatose state, you can file for a divorce directly in such cases, and the court
will approve the divorce straightaway,” replied the lawyer.
Bradley asked coldly, “What if she has amnesia?”
“If Ms. Quill is in a state of amnesia, she voluntarily accompanies you to the office for the divorce proce
dures, or you may proceed with filing for divorce independently.
However, under the current circumstances, there’s usually a cooling–off period for a normal divorce.
“In the case of filing for divorce, the court generally does not grant the divorce on the first application. It’
ll consider the divorce on the second application. At the same time, if the wife’s amnesia is involved, th
e court will also carefully consider this,” explained the lawyer.
Bradley rubbed his temples, feeling a throbbing pain.
If he had known that divorce would be so troublesome, he should have brought the divorce to court dire
ctly when Esther was imprisoned.
“Start preparing to file for a divorce now,” he demanded.
The lawyer held the divorce papers and solemnly reminded, Mr. Warner, if you want to divorce your wif
e, I personally suggest that the best and safest way is to proceed with divorce by consent. This is beca
use the Warner Group is a publicly listed company. The
public will also scrutinize your marital life. Moreover, your wife is a beneficiary of Mr. Thomas‘ will
Once this divorce agreement is exposed, it will be extremely detrimental to you and the company.”
Bradley’s expression froze slightly. After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, he said lightly, “File
for the divorce.”
As for whether Esther could take it psychologically or not, that was not something he should consider.
The lawyer replied, “Okay, I’ll submit the relevant documents to the court early tomorrow morning.
“Thank you,” Bradley said without much emotion.
The lawyer answered, “It’s my duty. Oh, by the way, the legal department has found some clues regardi
ng Mr. Johnston’s accident.”
Bradley’s expression darkened as he asked, “What did you find?”
“Mr. Warner, we suspect that this car accident wasn’t an accident but intentional.” The lawyer retrieved
a surveillance video from his phone. “Take a look. Since Mr. Johnston left Madam Jenner of Sunflower
Welfare, this black sedan with a fake license plate has been following his car. Mr. Johnston’s navigation
was set to the hospital after leaving the
sanatorium, but… an accident happened on his way to the hospital.”
Bradley watched as Cole’s Mercedes–Benz was hit and fell into
the river. He ordered resolutely, “Dig deep into the driver’s social network. I want them to pay a painful
price.”
“Yes, Mr. Warner.”
Meanwhile, Esther’s things were all packed up.
