When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1220 Always Good To Be Prepared

Meredith never expected her parents to change their stance on her divorce, but their support gave her the extra confidence she needed to follow through. With their backing, she felt even more certain about her decision to leave Zeke.

Without wasting time, she sent a message to Cecilia Clia, thank you. I’ve finally made the right decision.

When Cecilia saw the message, she was slightly confused. She texted back: Ilhat decision?Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Meredith: I’m planning on divorcing Zeke and finally living my life properly

Upon reading this. Cecilia instantly understood that Meredith had made up her mind. She was genuinely happy for her friend.

Cecilia: Congratulations on your fresh start!

No one understood better than Cecilia how some marriages were fragile and unstable, like a house of cards ready to collapse at any moment.

While her own relationship with Nathaniel had once been distant. Zeke had crossed the line in ways that were unforgivable.

He had embarrassed Meredith publicly, and worse, had burdened her with the task of raising his illegitimate child, who was allowed to treat Meredith terribly. Zeke was undeserving of a loyal and capable woman like Meredith.

Meredith, fully committed to her decision, didn’t stop at simply handing Zeke the divorce agreement. She went one step further by involving the media to announce their impending separation, ensuring there would be no room for second thoughts.

She was determined to break free and start over.

As Madeline entered the room to help tidy up, she happened to catch a glimpse of Cecilia’s conversation on her phone. Hesitating for a moment, she couldn’t help but ask, “Cecilia. I’m sorry, I accidentally saw some of your messages. Is your friend really planning to get a divorce?”

Cecilia didn’t try to hide it. “Yes, she is. Why?”

Madeline’s face lit up with anticipation. “I’ve been thinking about divorce too. What are the procedures? she asked eagerly, her eyes filled with hope.

Cecilia was caught off guard.

While she knew Darren, she didn’t fully understand the details of his relationship with Madeline. Moreover, Madeline had given birth to Darren’s daughter, Amelia, so it felt inappropriate to dive into advice about such a serious matter without knowing the full context.

Maddie, you can look it up online. There are plenty of resources. Cecilia suggested gemily.

“All right, I’ll do that,” Madeline agreed, her excitement not fading in the slightest. She quickly finished tidying up and immediately pulled out her phone to start researching divorce procedures.

“Ceci, do you think I could tile for divorce, even if Darren didn’t agree? Do you know any good lawyers?”

Before Cecilia could reply, Charlotte, who had overheard the conversation, jumped in “Maddie, if you’re serious about this, I know a great lawyer. She’s really good and specializes in family law. I can introduce you.”

Madeline’s eyes lit up. That would be perfect. Thank you so much, Lottie!”

It was clear that Madeline had made up her mind. No matter the cost, she was ready to separate from Darren. As soon as she got the lawyer’s contact information, she eagerly made a call to set up a consultation.

Sitting down next to Cecilia, Charlotte observed Madeline’s determination. “Boss, how desperate do you think she is to get out of this marriage? Darren must have really messed up

Cecilia didn’t want to jump to conclusions. “I’m not sure. But divorce is never easy, especially when there’s a child involved.”

She had noticed earlier that Darren had wanted to visit Madeline and Amelia, perhaps to reconcile Worried about any emotional strain it might cause, Cecilia had tactfully declined his request

“Amy is such a sweet and beautiful child. If it were me, I wouldn’t want to lose her either.” Charlotte mused, sympathy in her voice.

At that moment. Lucille joined the conversation, sitting down beside them. “When Mason and I have kids, I’m going to make sure we have a solid agreement in place. If we ever get divorced, the kids are staying with me.”

Cecilia couldn’t help but laugh. “You two aren’t even married yet, and you’re already talking abo divorce?”

Lucille grinned. “Hey, it’s always good to be prepared.”

After thinking it over, Cecilia nodded. “You’re right. Lucy, you should definitely have a prenuptial agreement. Given Mason’s position as Nathaniel’s chief personal assistant, he has access to a lot of resources. It might be hard for you to win a legal battle with him, so it’s best to get everything in writing while he’s still completely devoted to you.”

Cecilia couldn’t help but think to herself, Mason, don’t hate me for this.
