Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 52

She was just about to hang up and contact Alex when Miranda's voice stopped

her.

"Why are you apologizing? It's Alex who's lost his mind, mixing personal issues with business. It's got nothing to do with you. I promised to help you sort this out, and it ended up falling apart because of me. Worst case, I can't be a lawyer anymore and have to go back to inherit the family business. But you're the one in a real mess."

Miranda sighed. "Alex's intentions are clear. With the Montgomery family's influence, no one in Kingsford will touch your case. What are you going to do?"

Her voice was a mix of sympathy and frustration.

She genuinely felt it was unfair for her friend, yet was powerless to help.

She had thought that since his old flame returned and he was blatantly unfaithful, the divorce would be straightforward. Mila wasn't asking for much either, not even half of what she was entitled to, just a small token compared to what Alex gave Giselle. He even set up a company for his old flame.

A crush who had been away for years and returned couldn't compare to seven years of marriage with her friend. He left no room for decency in this.
