Dangerous Marriage, Eternal Love
Chapter 8
Mr. Elody was known for his decisive actions. Early the next morning, he sent me the lawyer's contact information and scheduled a meeting for after work. Then, he recommended a feminist relationship blogger with millions of followers. "She's a classmate of mine. Her team will discuss the details of the exposure with you."
I suddenly felt like my life was on an upswing. Looking at Jacob with admiration, I felt his image in my mind grow even more impressive. That evening, we met the lawyer, a very capable-looking woman. "This is Winona James, another classmate of mine."
"Miss James, nice to meet you. Mr. Elody's classmates are all outstanding." I praised her. We met at the rooftop bar of a landmark building in the city center, offering a panoramic view of the city's nightscape.
"I've heard about you from Jacob. He always praises you, saying you're young, hardworking and very promising," Winona said with a smile.
I didn't expect Mr. Elody to praise me. Over the past five years, our department went through many personnel changes and Jacob's rise to his position wasn't easy. I witnessed his struggles and betrayals in the workplace, so as someone who has been loyal to him from the beginning, he always took me to meet clients. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to alcohol, so every time we went out, he had to drink for me.
"It's a pity I'm not a man, otherwise, I'd go all out for Mr. Elody." I joked.
"Haha, Jacob doesn't need you to go all out for him," Winona laughed even more. "You're quite an interesting assistant."
"Alright, let's get down to business," Jacob interrupted.
"Alright, alright," Winona nodded. "Miss Diaz, I've heard about your situation from Jacob, but I still have a few questions to confirm with you."
"Sure, go ahead." I recounted in detail how I was deceived and how I discovered Connor's affair.
"We'll follow the legal process first, gather evidence proving their illegal cohabitation during your marriage and then prove that he committed fraud when signing the divorce agreement. Also, we need to find the records of your parents' money transfers. Of course, just these might not be enough to win." Winona paused. "However, Jacob has already thought it through. If we leverage public opinion and create a significant social impact, it will be extremely beneficial to us."
I asked hesitantly, "What about the fees …"
Winona glanced at Jacob. "With Mr. Elody here, don't worry about that."
