Chapter 994

Coley gave her a definitive answer. “Of course you can.”

“Furthermore, Felix’s clear bias toward Madeline in this incident will work in your favor during the divorce proceedings.”

Claire breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”

Her silent endurance last night hadn’t been in vain.

She had almost suffocated from holding it in.

Coley had previously advised her that in such situations, she had to remain calm and gather evidence that favored her.

Rather than letting her emotions take control and missing an opportunity.

Coley mentioned he was heading over to Quigley Group to speak with Felix about

the divorce case today, and asked if Claire wanted to tag along.

Claire refused flatly. “No, I don’t want to look at him for another second.”

Coley smiled and didn’t push the matter.

Felix had barely arrived at the office when Coley showed up.

Hearing Coley’s name, Felix rejected the meeting outright. “Tell him I’m busy. I don’t have time.”

Before the secretary could respond, Coley was already at the door.

“I know you’re a busy man, Mr. Quigley. That’s why I followed your standard procedure and booked an appointment a week in advance. I’m just here to relay my client, Ms. Chase’s, divorce demands. I won’t take up too much of your time.”

The secretary looked conflicted. “Mr. Quigley…”

Felix waved his hand, dismissing her.

Coley stepped into the office. He didn’t rush to take a seat. Instead, he slowly and methodically pulled a document from his briefcase, his movements as elegant as a ritual.

He slid the file across the desk toward Felix, tapping his finger on the cover line that read: ‘Abnormal Marital Asset Expenditure Report.’

Leaning forward slightly, his gaze piercing through his glasses, his voice was steady, cold, and carried an undeniable professional detachment.

“I am Ms. Chase’s legal representative. My duty is to protect my client’s lawful financial interests in accordance with the law.”

“For instance, Mr. Quigley, you recently spent millions of dollars at an auction to purchase a tiara named Aquaria as a gift for

Madeline. This expenditure wool net

neither used for your shared

livelihood with Ms. Chase, nor was it approved by her Therefore it

constitutes an improper disposal of joint marital assets on your part.”

At the same time, he pulled a printed auction record from the file and slid it in front

of Felix. It clearly displayed the winning bidder’s information.

His tone remained completely calm, yet every word cut like a knife. “Mr. Quigley, my client has the right to demand appropriate compensation for this abnormal expense during the division of assets.”

“In other words, the money for this tiara must be deducted from your share of the assets and compensated to Ms. Chase.”

Coley leaned back, resting his folded hands on the table, resuming his initial calm posture. Yet, his gaze was as sharp as a predator’s here today hoping to resolve this matter professionally and efficiently. If you can acknowledge the legal nature of this expenditure, we can negotiate a settlement.”

“Otherwise, I don’t mind submitting this evidence, along with the detailed

list of your other ’emotional

expenses regarding Miss Lynwood,

directly to the court. By then, I

believe you know better than anyone

how the judge will view such

‘reckless spending.””

Felix’s face grew colder and darker throughout the presentation.

He stared at the divorce agreement, a layer of frost settling in his eyes. “If she wants

a divorce, tell her to come talk to me herself.”
