Divorce Count Down Chapter 10
Each word struck Julian’s ears like thunder in spring, exploding with a force that left him stunned.
He couldn’t believe what he had just heard; his pupils widened to the extreme, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.
What did it mean that she had signed, he had signed, and they were already divorced?
When did he ever sign anything?!
The camera in his hand fell with a bang, knocking over a folder on the table that landed on his leg
Purchase completed
The large ‘Divorce Agreement’ was imprinted in his eyes.
He quickly picked it up and flipped straight to the last page, immediately spotting Amelia’s signature.
And just a few centimeters to the left, in the signature box, there was another name.
He was all too familiar with that handwriting.
Because it was his own signature, bold and flamboyant―Julian!
In an instant, countless details Julian had previously ignored flooded his mind.
That time at the law firm, Amelia said she was there to get his signature, but she had come down from upstairs, and Lewis’s office was on the second floor.
When Lewis asked him to pass on the property division documents, Amelia’s face flashed with panic the moment she saw him.
Every time he came home this past month and noticed things missing, they all belonged to her.
Thinking about the layout of the new house, Julian could almost be certain that all of this was her deliberate plan.
She had spun a massive lie right under his nose, quietly made him sign the divorce agreement, and then left alone.
Once he pieced everything together, a surge of anger and panic overwhelmed Julian.
Clutching the agreement and his camera, he dashed downstairs, drove straight to the law firm, burst into the second-floor office, and slammed the divorce agreement onto Lewis’s desk.
“Did you handle this divorce case, Lewis?”
Seeing how frantic he was, Lewis quickly put down his teacup and picked up the stack of documents to flip through them.
“Yes, I handled it. What’s wrong?”
Julian’s fury reached its peak at that moment; he lost all sense of reason and, forgetting their collegial relationship, roared out loud.
“Why didn’t you tell me about Amelia’s case in advance?”
Lewis had no idea what was going on and was completely bewildered.
