Chapter 136

Evelyn glanced at Elara, showing no hesitation as she began to share the truth with her.

Evelyn spoke, "Actually, her husband never cheated. He was framed. When my brother first met them, the two of them were incredibly close. They had even grown up together..."

Evelyn paused, her expression thoughtful, and then continued, "Back then, he was not the type to take an interest in women, yet somehow, he became captivated by Yessenia. Slowly, step by step, he drove that man away from her side so he could have Yessenia to himself."

Evelyn's voice softened, almost as if she were lost in thought. "At first, she thought her marriage had failed, and that was why she had met someone who truly understood her. But soon, she realized..."

Evelyn's voice turned bitter as she concluded, "He was the one who had destroyed all her happiness. By the time she learned the truth, Yessenia had just given birth to Lysander. She was struggling with postpartum depression."

Evelyn continued, her expression serious. "Back then, a lot of people didn't even know what depression was. And with my brother being so busy every day, he didn't pay much attention to it either."

She paused a hint of regret in her voice. "When Yessenia wanted a divorce, he wouldn't agree. Later, she took him to court and hired Ziva to represent her."

Evelyn/shook her head, sadness in her eyes. "Ziva knew the chances of winning were slim, but she still wanted to give her friend some hope. None of us expected Yessenia would make such an extreme choice when things fell apart." Elara listened, shocked, staring at Evelyn in disbelief.

Seeing her reaction, Evelyn asked, "What's wrong? Are you a bit shaken after hearing all this?"

Elara took a breath and replied, "It's... not as bad as I expected."

Evelyn looked at her thoughtfully. "You know, in some ways, Lysander is a lot like his father. So if you're thinking about marrying him, I really hope you think it through. Don't go through with it only to regret it later. Because if you do, that regret may end up being harder to bear than anything else."

When Elara heard Evelyn's words, she smiled. "I'm good with him."

If she had not been reborn, thinking about all this might have made her afraid.

But she was not.

She had been reborn, and now she knew better than anyone what she truly wanted.

Evelyn nodded. "If that's how you feel, then that's enough."

Originally, Elara had been quite skeptical of Evelyn's abilities.

But after working with her for a while, she came to realize that Evelyn was actually quite impressive.

After working with Evelyn for a while, Elara realized that she actually had some serious skills.

By the year's end, Natalie and Curtis's divorce was finalized.

Harold went to negotiate the terms.

There was no lawsuit; they had a peaceful divorce.
