Chapter 46
Elysia was efficient, quickly sending the lawyer’s contact. Amara friended the lawyer and exchanged a few words.
That evening, back home, she typed up a formal statement on her computer. It clearly expressed that she was voluntarily relinquishing her marriage to Finnian and was satisfied with all the terms of their divorce agreement.
She pledged not to harass Finnian in any way or attempt to overturn the divorce agreement. If she broke this promise, she would owe Finnian a hefty penalty.
The next morning, Amara visited the lawyer’s office to get the statement notarized, giving it legal weight. Clutching the notarized document tightly, she marched to Liliana’s break room, knocking firmly on the door.
A voice invited her in, and Amara strode in with determination, slamming the copy of the statement onto her, and fixing the stunned Liliana with a cold stare, spoke deliberately, “Liliana, listen up. I never intended to salvage my marriage with Finnian from the beginning.
He hasn’t come home once in three years. What good would it do to try and fix things? I don’t know if you’re just delusional or paranoid, but you can’t seem to grasp this.
Since you can’t figure it out, let me make it clear for you. I’ve written a statement. Finnian and I are divorcing by mutual consent, and I won’t be entangled with Finnian in any way. So, please, stop harassing me.
You know, every time you come to warn me to stay away from Finnian, it’s laughable. When have I ever done that? This statement has been notarized by a lawyer, so it’s legally binding, you can rest assured. If you don’t trust me, feel free to consult a law firm to verify it.
That’s all I have to say. As for the articles you had someone write, which led to online harassment, I won’t hold it against you, let’s consider it as me doing some good karma. But now that I’ve given you this statement, don’t come bothering me about Finnian anymore. If it happens again, Liliana, let me tell you, I’m not one to be pushed around p>
As her voice rang out in the room, silence fell. Amara’s eyes were resolute, while Liliana’s face turned sour.
Suddenly, Finnian rose from the couch with a scowl, striding over to Amara. The couch was in a blind spot from the door, so Amara hadn’t seen Finnian when she entered.
Seeing Finnian approach her with a stern face, she was a bit taken aback. But her surprise was fleeting, and she quickly lowered her gaze.
Finnian had been in the room all along. Had he heard her words to Liliana? Well, that was just as well. Now Finnian would know she genuinely wanted the divorce, and he wouldn’t have any reason to blame her for that recording anymore.
Having come to terms with this, Amara felt a mix of sadness and relief as she turned to leave. Finnian abruptly caught her arm, his anger palpable, his face hard as he asked, “What is this supposed to mean p>
“What do you mean?” Amara replied, looking up at him with clarity in her eyes.
In the midst of Liliana’s paling complexion, Finnian picked up the statement, quickly scanning it. As he finished reading, a vein throbbed at his temple.
