After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

10 “We Need Her, Emily”

Alexander looks at Sophia suspiciously, a hint of curiosity in his eyes as he considers her interest in his ex-wife.

However, before he can respond, Emily interjects, her voice laced with defensiveness, “How is this any of your business or concern, Ms. Johnson?”

Sophia, growing weary of Emily’s presence and eager to distance herself from Alexander, lets out an exasperated sigh and turns to leave. But Emily reaches out, lightly grabbing Sophia’s arm, and continues.

“Alexander’s ex-wife was a mistake from the start. She has cost him millions of dollars that she in no way deserves. The woman is trash. She is not even worth still having a conversation about.”

Sophia shrugs off Emily’s hand, her eyes narrowing as she locks gazes with Alexander. “Could you please call off your attack dog? You clearly have no intention of answering my question, and I have important work to attend to.” A smirk plays at the corners of her lips as she delivers her biting remark.

Emily gasps, her voice filled with indignation, but Alexander swiftly interrupts her. “There’s no need for name-calling, Sophia. And I did intend to provide you with an answer.”

“Forget it,” Sophia retorts dismissively, her frustration mounting. Alexander, attempting to maintain a semblance of composure, responds, “I fail to see why you’re getting so upset. I agree that Emily spoke out of turn, but….
