How could his son and that malicious woman resemble a motherâandâson pair?
Clark and Felix went quiet. The two of them exchanged a glance, both sighing helplessly in their hearts.
Bradleyâs phone rang.
âItâs me,â Bradley answered the call while walking out of the hospital room to the corridor.
A lawyer in a suit walked up to Bradley with a briefcase and respectfully greeted him, âMr. Warner.â
âLetâs talk inside.â Bradley pushed open the door of the hospital ward and signaled the lawyer to follow him into the study.
He handed the preâ
signed divorce agreement from Esther to the lawyer and asked in a deep voice, âWith this divorce. agre ement, I entrust you to handle all the related procedures.â
The divorce agreement, bearing Estherâs personal signature, was meticulously drafted by this lawyer. T he terms of the agreement were stringent, ensuring the utmost protection of Bradleyâs interests.
âMr. Warner, according to the regular process, after signing the divorce agreement, both parties need to bring their relevant documents to the office to obtain a divorce certificate, âsaid the lawyer.
Bradley thought of Estherâs selective amnesia and could not help but ask with a headache, âUnder wha t circumstances does it not require both parties to be present?â
âAccording to our countryâs marriage laws, if one party cannot be present due to other factors, such as being imprisoned or in a comatose state, you can file for a divorce directly in such cases, and the court will approve the divorce straightaway,â replied the lawyer.
Bradley asked coldly, âWhat if she has amnesia?â
âIf Ms. Quill is in a state of amnesia, she voluntarily accompanies you to the office for the divorce proce dures, or you may proceed with filing for divorce independently.
However, under the current circumstances, thereâs usually a coolingâoff period for a normal divorce.
âIn the case of filing for divorce, the court generally does not grant the divorce on the first application. Itâ
ll consider the divorce on the second application. At the same time, if the wifeâs amnesia is involved, th e court will also carefully consider this,â explained the lawyer.
Bradley rubbed his temples, feeling a throbbing pain.
If he had known that divorce would be so troublesome, he should have brought the divorce to court dire ctly when Esther was imprisoned.
âStart preparing to file for a divorce now,â he demanded.
The lawyer held the divorce papers and solemnly reminded, Mr. Warner, if you want to divorce your wif e, I personally suggest that the best and safest way is to proceed with divorce by consent. This is beca use the Warner Group is a publicly listed company. The public will also scrutinize your marital life. Moreover, your wife is a beneficiary of Mr. Thomasâ will Once this divorce agreement is exposed, it will be extremely detrimental to you and the company.â
Bradleyâs expression froze slightly. After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, he said lightly, âFile for the divorce.â
As for whether Esther could take it psychologically or not, that was not something he should consider.
The lawyer replied, âOkay, Iâll submit the relevant documents to the court early tomorrow morning.
âThank you,â Bradley said without much emotion.
The lawyer answered, âItâs my duty. Oh, by the way, the legal department has found some clues regardi ng Mr. Johnstonâs accident.â
Bradleyâs expression darkened as he asked, âWhat did you find?â
âMr. Warner, we suspect that this car accident wasnât an accident but intentional.â The lawyer retrieved a surveillance video from his phone. âTake a look. Since Mr. Johnston left Madam Jenner of Sunflower Welfare, this black sedan with a fake license plate has been following his car. Mr. Johnstonâs navigation was set to the hospital after leaving the sanatorium, but⦠an accident happened on his way to the hospital.â
Bradley watched as Coleâs MercedesâBenz was hit and fell into the river. He ordered resolutely, âDig deep into the driverâs social network. I want them to pay a painful price.â
âYes, Mr. Warner.â
Meanwhile, Estherâs things were all packed up.
