Wedding My Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Why did you just give in to her like that?

“Ms. Domont, we got the results from yesterday’s lawsuit. The court ruled in our favor. We don’t have to pay that outstanding amount. Here’s the judgment.”

Kaia took the court documents and flipped to the final page. Everything was exactly as she’d expected, though she could tell Megan was lying about the timing. This judgment definitely hadn’t come down yesterday.

Kaia smiled politely but declined. “I appreciate the offer, Ms. Reeves, but I must return to the firm. Thanks anyway.”
