On the certificate , she looked soft and gentle , leaning ever so slightly toward Jared . Her face , small as a palm , glowed with happiness - you could feel it just looking at the photo . For a long time , she thought the photo wasn't flattering . Not ugly , just ... not her best . Next to Jared's chiseled features , she always felt she didn't match up . Now she realized - it didn't matter . It was just a photo . A photo that would soon be erased forever . She would never love Jared again . She would make sure of it . Her phone buzzed in her bag again and again , finally dragging her thoughts back . When she came to , she realized her cheeks were wet and her vision was blurry . She wiped her eyes and pulled out her phone , answering without even looking . " Lily , please , you have to save Henry ... he - he hit someone with his car ! Dad wants to hire Riverville's top lawyer , Mr. Randall , but he's not available . Please go beg Jared . Jared knows Mr. Randall - he'll listen to Jared . Please , I'm begging you ... " Azure barely got the words out before she started sobbing uncontrollably . Her crying , mixed with the honking traffic , drilled into Lily's skull . " What happened to Henry ? " " Don't ask - just go to Jared . Mr. Randall has to get to the police station right away . The victim's family already brought their lawyer , and you know how Henry is . If he says something wrong and they use it against him , he's finished ! " With Azure pushing her , Lily ran to the street and flagged down a cab , heading straight to Cloud Corp. She couldn't worry about the divorce anymore . Nothing mattered more than Henry . Her little brother - the only warmth she'd ever felt in the Ginger family . At Cloud Corp , the mood had been tense for days . Everyone was on edge . 2/5 10:54 Thu , Sep 11 Just now , he'd finished going over Jared's schedule , only for Jared to shoot him a death glare . " Law Corp's project isn't urgent ? " Jared's voice was low and cold , his eyes sharp . Timothy responded instinctively . " Of course it's urgent ! " The next second , the schedule was flung to the floor . " If it's so urgent , why is there still time for the civil office ? How the hell did you arrange this ? " Jared's thin lips curled as anger bled through every word . Timothy swallowed , his back stiff . " Should I cancel it ? " Cancel : He'd waited days for Lily to back down , and now she wanted him to back out ? Fine . He had no idea Lily had learned to be this patient . He clenched his jaw , the sharp line of his cheek tense . Either she was planning to bail at the last second , or she wanted to argue with him at the bureau . She knew he wouldn't air dirty laundry in public - he'd cave . He always had a sharp eye for people , especially in business . His instincts were never wrong . But this time , he couldn't make the call . Should he cancel or not ? He leaned back , fingers tapping his jaw , thinking it over . Beside him , Timothy hesitated . " Actually , even if we don't cancel , today Henry- " Bang ! Lily burst through the door , panting. " Jared , I need to talk to you ." " How did you even get in here ? " Jared's face darkened - but then , his furrowed brows relaxed without him even noticing . " I ran into Timothy's assistant downstairs , " Lily said , realizing she'd barged in uninvited . 3/5 10:54 Thu , Sep 11 Then her eyes dropped to the schedule on the floor . The first line clearly read : " 9 AM - Divorce at Civil Office with Wife . " Right . She had come here this morning to divorce him . Would he still help Henry ? " Lily , don't you think it's a little late to come groveling ? " Jared leaned back in his chair , loosening his tic . His lips curled into a mocking smile . " I ... Henry's in trouble . Can you help me get in touch with Mr. Randall ? " Lily didn't do subtlety . She went straight for it . " He hit someone . They died . But I looked into it on the way here - she jumped in front of the car on purpose . These cases are hard to win , but if Mr. Randall takes it , there's a chance . Please ... can you help ? " Someone had died . She hoped Azure was handling things with the victim's family . Henry had hit someone . They couldn't just think about reducing compensation or getting away with it . The lawyer's job was to push for peace and fairness - and help the other side accept it . But if the victim really staged the accident , the whole situation changed . Henry couldn't go down for something he didn't do . According to him , he'd seen the woman on the sidewalk from a distance . She never moved . He figured she was waiting for someone . But just as he passed , she bolted into the street - so fast he didn't have time to brake . Jared's expression darkened , the smile frozen on his lips . " We're getting divorced . Why should I help your brother ? " One was desperate . The other , ice - cold . Lily bit her lip until she tasted blood . " Fine . I won't take a single cent of the Bolt family's fortune . Just help me get Mr. Randall . Please ." Jared let out a sharp laugh , like he couldn't believe what he was hearing . Rage ignited in his chest . He stood abruptly and came around the desk . He towered over her . " What right do you have to touch the Bolt family's money ? In two years of marriage , what have you contributed to this family ? Huh ? " 4/5 10:54 Thu , Sep 11 " Taking care of me ? Any maid could've done that . Don't act like it was some noble sacrifice ." Cooking and cleaning - anyone could do it . He'd never asked her to . " And sleeping with you ? " Lily's voice rose . She didn't even know why she was arguing . Was it pride ? Was it desperation to make him help Henry ? Whatever it was , bringing up sex made her feel humiliated and bitter . " Need I remind you that sex is a duty in marriage ? " The veins in Jared's neck bulged . He searched her face for any sign that she didn't want to divorce him . But there was nothing . She was only here for Henry . Fine . She wanted out . Why should he save her brother ? Lily's heart sank . In front of Jared , she had no chance . What now ? Should she call off the divorce ? Use their secret marriage to threaten him ? Would Jared help Henry then ?
