Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 262

Herbert translated everything faithfully.

Marquis immediately assured her, "Don't worry. There's no marriage that can't be ended."

Jessica had just begun to relax when Marquis added, "But if your husband hasn't committed any specific misconduct, it could take a lot longer."

"How long?" Jessica asked, her hands moving in practiced sign language. When she finished, Herbert stepped in to voice her question.

"The fastest is about six months. But if things drag on, it could take a year or even two," he answered.

The light in Jessica's eyes dimmed at once.

She didn't have that kind of time. She couldn't afford to wait.

If the quickest route was still half a year, she might as well just wait for death to dissolve the marriage on its own.

Seeing her reaction, Herbert pressed, his tone low and urgent, "She wants this divorce as soon as possible-otherwise she wouldn't be going to all this trouble. Isn't there any other way?"

Marquis paused, deep in thought before replying, "Ms. Greene, you mentioned earlier that there might be emotional infidelity. If your husband doesn't meet the other legal criteria, then our only option is to gather evidence of emotional betrayal to prove the marriage has broken down. If the evidence is solid, a judge may grant the divorce in one hearing."
