Helena was standing at the door to the study in a beige silk dress . She murmured , " Yeah , that's right - go ahead and fight . I can't wait to see what's gonna happen next . " With her last shred of hope in Wilfred gone , Josephine remained utterly calm - not even his hysteria could flicker her expression . A sense of powerlessness and frustration overwhelmed him . In a fit of anger , he stormed out and went for a drink with Shane Decker . They grew up together . Shane was a famous lawyer in Vexford and the legal counsel for Novo Tech . He had never lost a case . Hearing Josephine want a divorce , he laughed dismissively . " What did I tell you ? Don't indulge her . See ? She's completely carried away , making a scene over you and your sister . " Leaning against the bar counter , Shane lit up a cigarette lazily , exuding a roguish charm . " Stop looking so grim . You do know you've got plenty of options , right ? You've been with Josephine for six years already . Just dump her already . " Wilfred gulped down the wine and said , his voice muffled , " She thinks she gets to have a divorce just like that ? What does that make me ? " " Oh ? So , you don't want a divorce ? That's easy . " Hearing this , Wilfred looked at Shane , waiting for him to continue . Shane blew out a smoke ring , smiling wickedly . " As long as you refuse to get a divorce , litigation will be her only option . If so , you can challenge the jurisdiction to miss hearings or keep filing for delays . Then you get to drag out the divorce process forever .

Or Lena ? " After quite a long time , Wilfred said , " Anyway , I won't abandon Lena again . Josephine must cave . " *** Josephine was exhausted both physically and mentally . She locked the bedroom door and slept lightly for a few hours . After she woke up , she could finally think about the divorce more clearly . Legally , as long as either spouse refused to divorce , the process would become much trickier . The entire thing might drag on for at least several months . Realizing this , she went out and consulted a lawyer , wanting to know the fastest way of getting a divorce . The lawyer told her , " You should be prepared - first divorce petitions mostly end up in failure . " I suggest separating immediately right after the ruling takes effect and document the separation . After a year , file again . " She paid the consultation fee and stepped out of the law firm . Taking out a cigarette , she held it between her slender , fair fingers and took a shallow drag , exhaling after a long time . Just then , Matilda called her . " Bad news , Boss ! " How bad could it be ? Soon , Matilda sent her a viral video . Her attention was caught by the bold headline before she could click on it- " Men who dote on women always end up a joke ! " Whoever came up with this headline was vicious enough , weaponizing gender conflict to the utmost . She clicked on the play button .

" You've always had your way , and I'm always the one who caved every time we argued . All f asked was for Lena to live with us . You know she's my sister . Yet you forced me to drive her away , never thinking how she was supposed to make it out there alone . She got bullied and came back , only to be slapped by you twice ... And my mom just wanted to remind you to behave yourself , and she ended up in the ICU ! Why ? Josephine , why are you doing this to me ? Tell me ...
