Chapter 287
A man dressed in professional attire sat at the computer desk and asked her, “Ma’am, as you’ve mentioned, you’ve already made an appointment with the district court. You just need to wait patiently. If your spouse doesn’t want a divorce, we can only proceed according to the process.”
Nina’s expression was serious. “I’d prefer it to be done as soon as possible.
“How much money would you need for me to help you get the divorce?” Nina was anxious. She could not afford to wait for two months.
The man observed Nina’s reaction keenly. “You’re in such a hurry for a divorce. Is your spouse unwilling, or have you found someone else while married?”
Nina denied, “I haven’t cheated. It’s a marriage of convenience, and my spouse has genuine feelings. We’re in a secret marriage. I’m just tired of this loveless marriage now. We have no property to divide, no children. I just need to move on with my life.”
A secret marriage. Those words caught the man’s attention. Only elites chose secret marriages. If that was the case, there would be profit to be made.
The man nodded at Nina. “First, go with my assistant to draft a divorce petition.”
“Okay.” Nina nodded.
In less than a few minutes, Nina returned with the petition. “Lawyer Lucas.”
Nina had learned from the assistant.
The man’s surname was Lucas.
Lawyer Lucas took the divorce petition from Nina. Without looking, he was taken aback when he did. The defendant was Nash York?
He scrutinized it carefully, and indeed, it was Nash and Nina. And the marriage agreement she mentioned, which she referred to as a contract, was the one he had drawn up for Nash! He had been so oblivious Seeing him hesitate to speak, Nina furrowed her brows and asked, “Is there a problem with my petition?”
“No problem. You can go back now. I’ll let you know once the schedule is set,” the man could only tell Nina this.
Nina nodded. “Thank you, Lawyer Lucas.”
After Nina left, the man called Nash.
Just as the man thought Nash would not answer, his indifferent voice came through the phone, “What’s up?”
Nash vaguely felt it was not good news because he had not been in contact with Ben Lucas for a long time, especially considering Ben’s identity.
“Guess who I met?” Ben chuckled.
When Ben said that, Nash suddenly realized, “Nina went to see you.”
“Not only that, she also drafted a divorce petition. I don’t understand. Nina looks pretty good, but after three years of marriage, you two still don’t have any feelings for each other. It doesn’t fit with TV shows or novels at all!” Ben’s teasing became more meaningful.
Nash’s face turned cold. “Enough nonsense. Inform your friends in the industry.”
Ben’s laughter remained unchanged. “Even if no one in this city is willing to take your divorce case, it doesn’t mean people from other cities won’t. Looks like you still have feelings for her!”
“Get lost!” Nash scoffed directly.
After hanging up on Ben’s call, Nash instructed Quincy to track down Nina’s location and headed there directly.
