The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 229

Stephanic and Harold looked at each other, and both understood what the other meant.

They had already expected that these splits needed Maxwell’s own approval.

It was just that it would have been better if I could have just gone through the process directly.

Thinking, Stephanie looked at Edgar: “Please call me Stephanie from now on.”

Edgar opened his mouth, but in the end he gave in and said. “Yes, Ms. Shelton.”

Estrella rolled her eyes.

Muttered “putting on an act.”

As soon as the words were out, Estrella’s call got picked up.

Maxwell’s voice came: “What’s up?”

Estrella spoke up right away: “Bro, Stephanie said she wanted to take that department away, she’s in the office now, did you know?”

Maxwell was silent over there.

Stephanie just stood there, quietly watching Estrella with her phone on speaker.

Waited for Maxwell’s reply.

The silence lasted about ten seconds. Estrella finally couldn’t help it and urged, “Bro?”

“She couldn’t take it away.” In the end, Maxwell said, “Tell her I said

SO.”

The call was hung up.

There was a satisfied smile on Estrella’s face: “Heard that?”

Stephanie glanced at Edgar calmly.

“Alright, let’s go to court then.”

It was calm, like it was just a normal thing.

Finally, she looked at Harold.

Then, the two turned and left.

Before the elevator doors closed, from a distance, Estrella’s voice

came-

“Stephanie, don’t even think about it!”

They stayed quiet the whole way. It wasn’t until they left the Humphrey Building and got to the square outside that Harold finally spoke: “Ms. Shelton, actually, we had already expected something like this. It’s normal for the Humphrey Group not to let go. Next, we just need to go through the lawsuit process. Based on the materials you gave us, whether it’s through a settlement or buying it back, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll get what you want.”

“It’s just that, compared to going straight to the separation process, a lawsuit took some time.”

Stephanie looked at the traffic going back and forth ahead.

She nodded gently.

Indeed, from the very beginning, she was ready for a lawsuit.

It’s just that he turned her down so directly, with no room for discussion at all, which she hadn’t expected.

So many days and nights, he kept saying, the Shelton Group was hers, just temporarily with the Humphrey Group. He said he’d help her find out the truth about her father’s death, said he’d help her bring back the glory of the Shelton Group.

But now, he wouldn’t even let go of her own stuff.

Sure enough, a man’s promises were all just lies.

Luckily, she didn’t have much hope for him at first.

It was necessary to come over today, too.

“Mr. Irwin, I’ll leave the rest to you,” Stephanie said.

“Just doing my job,” Harold nodded. “But, Ms. Shelton, you had to be ready for a long fight.”

Stephanie nodded.

The two split up, Stephanie got back in the car.

She had just sat in the driver’s seat when her phone buzzed.

She took out her phone, it was a message-

“I had an experienced divorce lawyer here, and I told him to go see you this afternoon.”

But after a moment, another one came-

“Knew it from Estrella’s Instagram, just offered help, no extra requirements, don’t worry.”

It was Lennon.

There was also a screenshot of Estrella’s Instagram.

Estrella: Slipped away with my tail between my legs.

The picture showed Stephanie’s back as she left.

The other side.

Maxwell also saw Estrella’s Instagram.

He frowned a little and opened Estrella’s chat.

Maxwell: Delete Instagram, don’t tell anyone about what happened today.

Estrella complained a bit, but still did it.

Maxwell found Stephanie’s chat window.

It wasn’t me who told her to send it.

Okay, but in the end I didn’t hit send.

Even if he said that, would she believe it?

Forget it.
