After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#13 “He is Going to Bankrupt Them.

“No! This is an emergency. Please,” Sophia pleads. She can’t bear the weight of the situation, knowing how much she needs to fix it for her best friend.

Feeling a twinge of sympathy for Sophia, the receptionist tries to deliver her words as warmly as possible.

“I really am sorry, but Mr. Stone has left for some urgent business issues. He’s meeting with a client later this evening.”

Sophia’s heart sinks, her hope fading away. She turns to Evelyn, the devastation evident on her face, mirroring the consequence of the situation.

“This is entirely my fault, Evelyn. I take complete responsibility for it, and I will fix it,” Sophia declares with determination as they make their way back to the elevator.

Meanwhile, in Alexander’s office, Laura finishes up her paperwork. She couldn’t help but overhear the conversation between Alexander and the receptionist, and her curiosity gets the better of her.

“What’s going on?” Laura asks, curious but also concerned. With an unsympathetic look, Alexander responds, “I have decided to transfer the money from Crimms’ bank to the business of Emily’s branch company, StoneTech Solutions.”

Laura’s eyebrows shoot up in surprise, her mind racing to comprehend the implications of Alexander’s decision. She begins to push for further details, but Alexander dismisses her from the office, shutting the door behind her.

As Sophia and Evelyn exit the elevator, the weight of the situation still heavy on their shoulders, an idea suddenly sparks in Sophia’s mind. “Steven!” she exclaims, her voice filled with renewed hope.

“Who?” Evelyn responds. But before Sophia can answer, she swiftly dials a number on her phone, her finger raised to Evelyn as she waits for a response.

“Steven Mhyler, please. Yes, I’ll hold,” Sophia says, her voice determined. While on hold, she turns to Evelyn, a glimmer of excitement in her blue eyes.
