After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#145 “People Like Alexander don’t Change Overnight.”

Sophia was back in full force in her office. Now that everything Megan had done was out in the open, Sophia personally watched the process, ensuring Megan got what she deserved.

The judges’ decision was still awaited, but Megan’s company was broken up and taken away.

Sophia had arranged a meeting today with Benjamin to explain to him in detail. Their plan had succeeded, and Sophia was impatient to give him the news.

When Benjamin showed up for lunch, he brought a steaming cup of coffee and a box of freshly baked donuts from the nearby bakery, the rich aroma filling the room.

“There was no need,” Sophia replied with a warm smile.

She invited him to sit down, and as they settled into plush chairs, she began to share the intricate details of how Alexander played a crucial role in making their plan work. Benjamin listened intently, but his face remained unreadable.

“Well, that’s it,” Sophia finished. “Now you and Michael will take part in her company. Isn’t that great news?”

“Yes, but there is already a new player in the plan that we haven’t discussed,” Benjamin replied.

“Are you talking about Alexander?” Sophia asked, a hint of confusion in her voice.

“Yes, things turned out well for him too. Now that Megan is out of control of the company, not only do Michael and I have a stake, but so does he,” Benjamin said, his tone carrying a touch of accusation.

“Why not, after all, it’s because of him that we have the information with which we were able to unearth it,” replied Sophia.
