I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 36

*[Honestly, I think you're getting shortchanged. Sterling Group is worth billions right now. If you're willing to endure a drawn-out process, you have a solid case to claim your rightful share of the marital assets.]*

Lyra understood that perfectly.

Given everything Maxwell had done, if she was willing to put in the time, she could walk away incredibly wealthy.

But she didn't want to.

All she cared about right now was severing her ties with him as quickly as possible and never seeing his face again.

She typed out a swift, decisive reply: *[No need. My mind is made up. Just proceed with my original request. I don't want the cars, the properties, or the money. I want nothing.]*

The lawyer replied almost instantly.

*[Understood. Not a problem.]*

Coincidentally, just as that message came through, a notification popped up showing that Silas had accepted her contact request.

Lyra quickly opened their chat. She carefully weighed her words before typing out a professional message and hitting send.

*[Silas, this is Lyra. Do you have some free time tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner to formally apologize for the previous misunderstanding.]*

The 'typing' indicator flashed at the top of the screen almost immediately, but no message came through.

She knew his temper well. He was likely still seething over Aria's behavior; otherwise, he would never have severed ties with Maxwell in the first place.

Because of that, anyone associated with Maxwell or Aria who dared to cross his path was guaranteed to face his wrath.

But she was caught between a rock and a hard place.

Finally, Silas's message arrived.

*[The crew is on a break today. I'm doing reshoots for Aria's old scenes. If you need something, just come find me on set.]*

Lyra replied immediately: *[Understood. I'm on my way.]*
