Chapter 539 Youâre Starting to Meet New People Upon Leaving Me Deirdre plucked up her courage to call that phone number, which was answered in a few seconds. She quickly introduced herself, âHello, Iâm Deirdre McKinnon.â
âHello, Miss McKinnon, Iâm Bell. Mr. King said you have something about a case to ask me. May I know what it is?â
It was inconvenient for Deirdre to get straight to the point, so she inquired about Charleneâs matter as a cover before getting to the point. âMr. Bell, I would like to ask, is there any quick way to file a divorce without the consent of the man?â
âDivorce?â Mr. Bell was stunned. It was totally out of the topic that he needed a few seconds to recover his senses. âIt depends on the situation. Generally, if the man disagrees, he needs to file a lawsuit in court. As for filing for divorce, of course, a reason is also needed.â
âA reason?â
âBehavior such as domestic violence, abuse, taking on a bad habit, or cheating can all be grounds for litigation.â
âDo any of these need proof?â
Mr. Bell chuckled. âThatâs for sure.â
Deirdre fell silent. Brendan had cheated, but she had no evidence, and Brendan would not allow her to sue him in this way.
Mr. Bell seemed to realize something. âIf the man didnât show any of these behaviors, thereâs another way.â
Deirdreâs eyes lit up. âWhatâs the way?â
âLive separately for two years.â
âLive separately for two years?â
It seemed to be the most effective method for the time being. However, it had been about half a year since she faked her death. In this case, did it mean that she would have to wait for another one and a half years before she could file for divorce with Brendan?
She couldnât wait, nor did she wish to make Kyran wait.
âWhat about when the wife is dead?â
Mr. Bell couldnât understand. âWhat do you mean?â
Deirdre hurriedly explained, âIt means, what if the wife died in an accident, but the marriage is still in effect.â
âIt should be that the relatives or lover of the woman did not apply for a declaration of death. They only need to apply for a declaration at this time, and the marriage relationship will cease to exist.â
âOh, I see.â Deirdreâs eyes were stained with hope as she said, âThank you, Mr. Bell!â
âMiss McKinnon, you are welcome.â
When the call had ended, Deirdre thought she might need to look for a chance to go to the police station.
Suddenly, the phone rang again. Deirdre thought it might be from Mr. Bell and quickly answered the call, âMr. Bell, is there anything else?â
The other end fell silent for a while before he asked, âWhoâs Mr. Bell?â
The manâs voice sounded very low, and when one listened carefully, there were hints of irritation.
Deirdre wasnât aware of it because she was overwhelmed. âKyran! Youâve arrived in Germia?â
âYes.â Kyran didnât sound happy and repeated the previous question, âWhoâs Mr. Bell? Were you talking to him over the phone for a total of 30 minutes!?â
Deirdre paused for a second and replied, âYes.â
I âIs he someone you know? Just like how Iâve been missing you, I thought you would miss me since I left and couldnât sleep well. It turns out that youâre starting to meet new people.â
Deirdre understood what Kyran meant. âKyran, are you jealous?â
âWhat do you think? Deirdre, I donât want to interfere with your circle of friends, but sometimes, I still selfishly wish that you could meet fewer people.â
Kyran sounded low-spirited and tired as if covered with chills after a long journey.
Deirdre felt sorry for Kyran. At the same time, she couldnât bear to laugh. âMr. Bell is a lawyer Mr. King has introduced. I didnât know much about Charleneâs case, so I asked the lawyer for the details. As for you, Itâs fine if youâre jealous of Hoyt Leigh, but why are you still jealous of someone I have never met?â
