Chapter 95
Elysia was shopping on the bustling streets when her phone buzzed with a new message. She was fuming as she clutched her phone and confronted the caller.
“What do you mean he’ll divorce when he feels like it? Can’t he give me a straight answer? Can’t I just see him, have a one–on–one chat, I-”
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the call was abruptly ended.
“Son of a gun!”
Elysia was seething, hands on hips, forehead creased in frustration.
It was only when she reached the mall that she remembered to unblock the number for Royal Community and give them a call about the divorce.
Realizing she had blacklisted their number previously, she quickly salvaged the contact from digital oblivion and dialed back.
The news that Tarquin had actually reached out to her last night, even setting up a meeting for today, had sent her over the moon with excitement.
But, as fate would have it, things took a U–turn.
She didn’t know if Tarquin was ticked off for not getting through to her last night, but all she knew was that she was fuming!
Maybe if she had picked up the phone last night, they would have been at the courthouse signing divorce papers by now!
Oh, if only she hadn’t drowned her sorrows in wine!
Blossom noticed Elysia’s distress and sidled up. “What’s up?”
Elysia was a mix of anger and helplessness. “That jerk still refuses to sign the divorce papers. Today he was even more obstinate, telling me not to bother him, saying he’ll divorce when he feels like it.”
“What?” Blossom’s voice spiked in disbelief.
The kids were busy at the arcade, and Elysia, not wanting to cause a scene, nudged Blossom to tone it down.
In a hushed tone, Blossom prodded, “What does he even want? What’s this nonsense about divorcing when he feels like it? You two were at each other’s throats, not to mention living apart for years! Him dragging his feet is just low–down dirty! Don’t worry about it. Let’s take him to court! I have a friend who’s a lawyer. If he won’t play nice, we’ll show him tough.”

Evsia’s expression soust
#tit were any ordinary man that might be an option but this was Tarquent Even if he weren’t at the helm of the Bradford Grous shot stand no chance in court against him
And now Forget about it!
Which lawyer in their right mind would risk crossing Tarquin for her?
It Tarquin was a rock, she wasn’t even fit to be an eag
Legal action was off the table
And confronting him directly That avenue was shut down too. He made it clear any harassment would be on her own head
This was just bullying!
“You leave it to me Just give me his details I’ll rally my folks and my quest. With two renowned professors and a society lady on our side, how can we not handle one man?
Blossom refused to back down
Elysia glanced at Blossom awkwardly, internally screaming “Blossom, were no match for
him, alas”
Esia sighed. “Let’s just forget about him for now it be wont divorce so be it Let’s see who can outlast the other. He’s got some high and nighty giriftene. I bet she’s itchines to take my place. If she starts making waves, he’ll come crawling to the
Blossom sighed in solidarity feeling frustrated on Evsia’s behalt as she said, “What kind of a jerk holds on to a relationship that’s long dead? He’s disgusting! But whatever you’re better off without him. Since you can’t shake him off, just stay here in Jingale Oby Your biggest worry was the kids schooling, right? I’ve got it covered. They can attend the preschool I’m working at
“Are you sure? Is that okay?
“Trust me, I’ve got this
“Isn’t the tuition steep?”
“Stop fussing. I told you it’s handled. Don’t worry about the fees
