Novel1Chapter 242 The next day, William didn't let Josephine down. He personally went to court with the notarized asset documents, the divorce agreement, the divorce petition, and solid evidence of infidelity to file the lawsuit.
Of course, just like all other divorce processes, the court required pre-trial mediation. The duration of this mediation period could vary depending on the case.
However, William was confident.
With the undeniable evidence of Zayn's affair in their hands, as long as they firmly refused reconciliation and insisted on the divorce, the court would likely take their stance into consideration and shorten the mediation period.
Josephine entrusted everything to William with complete peace of mind.

That afternoon, as Josephine was about to leave to meet with the field research team for a film project to finalize the shooting schedule and location, she stepped outside only to find Zayn blocking her at the doorstep.
He looked exhausted, his clothes disheveled.
It seemed he had been up all night and had taken the first flight to Sunvale to see her as soon as possible-he hadn't even had the tto change.
Regardless, Josephine felt no sympathy for him. Her gaze was cold and devoid of any emotion.
And it was precisely that indifference that cut Zayn to the core.
He had thought-hoped-that seeing him so worn out and drained would somehow soften her attitude toward him. "Josephine, we need to talk." Josephine let out a quiet sigh. "I've already told you-I don't want to see you or talk to you. If you keep showing up like this, you'll only pushto move somewhere you'll never find me. That won't do you any good." Move away? But she had already blocked his calls and put his number on the blacklist! Zayn had considered calling her from another number, but what was the point? Even if he got through, she would probably add the number to her blacklist again without hesitation.
He had thought meeting in person might change things, but her attitude remained as firm as ever.
Zayn's expression darkened. He took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. "I already told you, the baby isn't mine! If you don't believe me, I can show you proof!" "It doesn't matter toanymore, whether the baby is yours or not." That was the conclusion she had reached after thinking it over all night.
If the baby truly wasn't his, did that mean she had to forgive him? The answer was a resounding no.
"Zayn, you're a smart man. When asm you made those choices, you must have anticipated that things might cto this. And yet, you still took that risk. Why? Because, deep down, this marriage never really meant that much to you. Losing it was something you could afford.
"So, drop the act and cooperate, won't you? Let's get this over with and make a clean break for both of us." She had already sacrificed too much for him.

But then, Zayn entered her life with a contract marriage, disrupting all her plans.
She had been given a love and a marriage she had never dared to Q.m dream of, and had foolishly believed they were real-she even abandoned her career entirely, dedicating herself to being the woman behind Zayn. Who would have thought that in the end, she would fall so hard and hurt so deeply? As she looked at Zayn, memories of the night their relationship was defined suddenly resurfaced.
She couldn't help but wonder-had he looked like this back then, too? Like a beach wild, untamed beast, breathing heavily, full of aggression?
