Before coming here, Karina had thoroughly investigated Apex Global and had some idea of what kind of projects they might get

It was Rebecca calling.

Natalie didn’t want to answer and just hung up. Shortly after, the phone rang again.

“Even if you divorced, it’ll be because my son doesn’t want you anymore! You’re not worth it, Natalie!”

“It doesn’t matter. I already initiated the divorce. If you’re not satisfied, I can withdraw the lawsuit

immediately. You want your son to initiate it first? Fine. I’ll sign the papers without any hassle, no strings.
