Chapter 135

“Are you out of your mind?” Natalie gave her forehead a knock. “Keep sending her summons, even if she refuses to accept them. Once she does that for three times, the court will order a mandatory hearing. If she doesn’t turn up, we’ll win the case straight away.”

“Is there such a thing?” Joyce was amazed.

Rubbing her hand together, she said with an excited expression. “I’ll contact the court now.”

With that, she stood up and walked over to the office desk. Picking up the phone, she dialed a number.

After the call, she showed the other woman an ‘OK’ gesture.

Natalie smiled at her. Glancing at her phone, she said, “It’s getting late. Let’s head out to eat.”

“Sure! How about hotpot? It’s been a while since we last ate it.” While speaking, Joyce took her bag off a rack.

Natalie agreed at once.

The two took the kids and strolled toward a hotpot restaurant nearby, chatting and giggling all the way.
