After hanging up the phone, Selena collapsed onto the floor. This approach was like dealing a heavy blow to the enemy but suffering some of it herself in return. If that jerk didn't back down soon, she wasn't sure how much longer she could hold out. But if there was one thing she was good at, it was perseverance. Once she set her sights on something, she'd go all in, refusing to turn back until she hit a wall. It was that way when she chased him, and now, as she aimed for a divorce, it was the same.

Selena arrived right on time at Bennett Corporation's conference room. Instead of Everett, she found Bradley, his lawyer, looking sharp in his suit. Bradley was known as a top-notch attorney and was undefeated in his field. "Mrs. Bennett, long time no see," Bradley greeted, standing up and adjusting his glasses with a smooth smile. He seemed like a gentleman, but Selena knew better. He was a shark who'd done countless dirty deeds for Everett over the years. She gave a half-hearted smile and sat down. "Where's Everett? Not here yet?" She knew he was a jerk, but punctuality was his thing. He wouldn't tolerate lateness, not from himself or anyone else.
Bradley sat across from her. "Mr. Bennett has given me full authority to handle everything regarding the divorce. You can discuss it all with me," he said.
Selena smirked, amused at how far Everett would go to keep her from getting a piece of his wealth. "Fine, let's talk, but I'm calling my lawyer first." She knew better than to try and tackle a lawyer on her own. Bradley gestured for her to go ahead.
Her lawyer, Bill, was a pro at divorce cases. Yet, he didn't last long against Bradley, retreating in defeat after just a few exchanges. Once Bradley left, Bill, her advisor, filled her in. "Mr. Bennett has rejected your reasons for divorce. One, he hasn't cheated. Two, your married life is good, so he doesn't agree to the divorce."
The other woman was pregnant, so how hadn't he cheated? Did it only count if the child was born and brought home? Selena was furious. Laughing bitterly, she said, "Then there's nothing more to discuss. Get the paperwork ready; I'm filing for divorce."
next words nearly made her explode. "Mr. Bennett said your suspicions and accusations don't count as evidence. Even if you file, the court won't grant it. If you insist on divorcing, he might agree." Bill noticed her fiery glare but continued, "You'd walk away with nothing and publicly admit it's your fault, keeping Mr. Bennett's reputation intact for a
