Chapter 27 Divorce The next day, Calista received a call from Lucian’s lawyer early in the morning. They agreed to meet up at a café. She contacted Harvey just in case the situation put her at a disadvantage. Judging from how Lucian readily agreed to the divorce, she assumed things wouldn’t go smoothly. When Calista arrived at the destination, Lucian’s lawyer was already there. She recognized the person. It was Timothy Howard, the general counsel of Northwood Corporation. The cases he took involved a huge sum of claims. She had never heard that he would accept family law cases like divorce. However, she soon realized that it was not a small lawsuit case. The asset distribution alone was worth billions. “Mr. Howard, what do you mean by this?” Timothy demonstrated his professionalism by being deliberate in his choice of words. “The debt Mr. Northwood cleared in your stead is considered your personal debts before marriage. According to the law, he has the right to claim his money back after divorce.” He flipped to the last page of the document. “Here are the details of the properties. After taking the distribution into account, you still owe him three million.” She frowned. “But I married him back then to pay the debt off. We reached an agreement about that.” Had it not for the dead end, she wouldn’t have married Lucian for the money. “Do you have proof that it is a volunteer obligation?” Calista fell silent at his question because there was none. He could guess the answer from her expression. He smiled. “Since there’s no proof, it’s not considered a volunteer obligation.” Harvey happened to arrive at that moment. He was slightly shocked to see Timothy Mr. Howard? Everyone in the law industry knew the legendary presence–Timothy Howard. +15 BONOS A lot of people were willing to blow their fortune to hire him. Yet, their efforts always turned out in vain. But here he was today for a divorce lawsuit. Harvey greeted him, “Mr. Howard, I’m Ms. Everhart’s lawyer.” Howard nodded as an acknowledgment before checking the time. He had something else to attend to, so he couldn’t waste much more time here. “Ms. Everhart, I should get going now. Mr. Northwood has signed the papers. If you agree to it, you can sign your name and proceed with the procedures at any time.” Calista was stunned into silence. Five minutes later, Harvey closed the document. He said with solemnity, “Ms. Everhart, it is highly advisable that you talk to Mr. Northwood. You will be at a disadvantage if we take this to court. You don’t have evidence to prove that he paid your debt out of willingness. Plus, his lawyer is Mr. Howard. It’s best to settle this personally.” Her face turned as pale as a sheet. She kept the divorce papers and nodded lightly. Thanks for coming, Mr. Locke. I will contact you once I make up my mind.” After coming out of the café, she dialed Lucian’s number. He was attending a meeting at the moment. His phone was on silent mode. He glanced at it when its screen brightened to reveal Calista’s name. He didn’t answer the call, thinking that Timothy must have finished the discussion with her. Since she wanted a divorce so much, she should bear the consequences. He could already guess what she would say over the phone. A divorce would lead her into a three–million–dollar debt. The other option would grant her the opportunity to enjoy a lavish life as Mrs. Northwood. As long as she could think, she knew which option […]
