Ex-husband wants me back novel

Chapter 608 Chapter 608 +25 Bonus "That's correct, Mr. Cale." "And you've already assigned your associate lawyers to represent them?" Richard nodded confidently. "Yes. And they all seem very confident in their legal counsel, Mr. Cale." Cale smirked in satisfaction. "Good." Nearby, Arsen-who had been standing not far from Daven-was quietly taking notes on Richard's report and Daven's responses. Once he deemed it sufficient, he handed a separate file to Daven. "Everything Mr. Richard mentioned is also connected to another matter." Everyone immediately knew who he was referring to. Selena Ward.

Richard opened a thinner folder. "Selena's case is slightly different." Chris scoffed. "That cunning woman deserves every lesson coming to her after pulling something that disgusting." Richard ignored the comment and continued, laying out the details uncovered during the investigation. "Identity fraud involving Eli Ward. Falsification of family records. Psychological manipulation of a minor. And... exploiting those falsifications for personal gain." He paused briefly. "All of Selena's actions were supported by Harold.

Which means these cases are deeply interconnected." Richard paused, then slid another file to the center of the table. "We managed to obtain a recording-an old conversation between Selena and one of her associates." Chris immediately leaned forward. "What does it say?" Richard glanced at each of them before answering, his tone measured. "Selena referred to Eli as 'the easiest way' to get close to the Miller family." The atmosphere in the room shifted instantly. Chris shook his head slowly. "That woman is completely insane.

She planned something this twisted from the very beginning." Cale said nothing, but his jaw tightened. Daven remained silent, allowing Richard to continue. "The recording is strong enough to prove that Selena deliberately manipulated a child for her own. benefit." 1/3 Chapter 608 +25 Bonus Arsen crossed his arms. "The prosecutor is going to love that." Daven finally spoke. "What's the estimated sentence for Selena?" "At least ten years," Richard replied calmly. Chris let out a humorless laugh. "Still too light, if you ask me." Cale closed the file in his hand with a soft snap.

"The court won't rely on that recording alone." All eyes turned to him. "We all know Selena falsified Eli's birth records," he continued evenly. "Eli's real identity is that of an orphan-abandoned under... unfortunate circumstances. And Selena took advantage of that." Richard nodded. "That's correct." "Which means she can be charged with identity fraud," Cale went on, leaning back slightly. "A far more serious offense than the current charges. And make sure the child manipulation angle is emphasized- it'll significantly increase the severity of her sentence." Arsen arched a brow.

"You want to stack every charge possible?" Cale met his gaze. "Why wouldn't we?" Chris smirked. "I like the way you think." Richard opened another document. "If all those charges are applied, she could face more than fifteen years." Silence settled over the room again. Daven rose from his chair and walked toward the large window at the far end of the room, his gaze dropping to the stretch of SunCity below. "Make sure all the evidence is submitted to the prosecutor today." Richard nodded. "Yes, Mr. Daven.

I'll also inform you as soon as the trial schedule is set." Chris tapped his fingers lightly against the table. "I don't know why, but I've got a bad feeling. Even if the lawyers representing them are technically on our side... I can't shake it." "What are you thinking?" Cale asked casually. "Selena won't just give up," Chris said, his eyes fixed on him. "She always has a backup plan." Daven turned back to face them, his gaze sharp and unyielding. "That's exactly why we make sure she has no room to move." Arsen narrowed his eyes. "Meaning?" "We protect Eli-legally," Daven said calmly.

2/3 Chapter 308 +25 Bonus Richard understood immediately. "Her status needs to be separated from Selena." "As soon as possible." Chris added. "That's what I'm worried about." Cale gave a small nod. "It'll also destroy Selena's argument in court." Chris leaned back, satisfied. "Then this game is already over." Daven looked at each of them in turn. "No." His voice was quiet-but firm enough to cut through the room. "This isn't over until Selena and Harold can never touch our family again." No one argued.

Because in that room, they all understood the same thing-this time, there would be no second chances. Not for Harold. Not for Selere. There would be no way back for either of them. Chris broke the silence once more. "So... you're really ready to take Eli in, Daven?" 3/3 admin
