Chapter 170

The real power behind the scenes was Renee.

Maybe Renee was the true head of the Jordan family, and Brandon was just a puppet, a useless figurehead pushed to the forefront.

After my bath, I asked Savannah to help me get in touch with Travis. I planned to meet him.

Savannah nodded and quickly got to work.

Not long after, she came back and said, "Mr. Franklin, he's flying into Skyview City at 2 PM the day after tomorrow. Does that work for you?"

I nodded.

In the meantime, I could rest and think about my next move against Brandon.

I instructed Savannah, "Sell my current villa. It's still under my name. I can't let Brandon get any advantage over me."

Savannah nodded.

In the following days, I continued my routine of visiting Kathy at the hospital from the hotel.

To avoid worrying her, I wore a scarf to cover the marks on my neck whenever I went to the hospital.

I simply told her that I had decided to get a divorce.

Kathy looked delighted, "You should have divorced that jerk a long time ago. I don't know how you put up with him for ten years. If it were me, I would have kicked him out ages ago."

"There's no way he would have gotten this far without you."

Seeing her so animated made me smile, "Alright, leave this to me. Your main focus should be on getting better and getting out of here soon, okay?"

Kathy nodded, leaning back on her hospital bed, "Don't worry, I'll get out of here soon and fight alongside you."

As I was leaving, I ran into Simon. He had taken time off to take care of Kathy, which freed up some time for me to handle my own affairs.

I told him about my divorce from Brandon, "You need to stay close to Kathy at all times. I'm worried that if Brandon loses his mind, he might come to the hospital and do something to her."

Simon nodded, "Don't worry, I'll make sure he leaves the same way he came."

I had complete faith in Simon's abilities, so after giving him these instructions, I left with Savannah.

A car had been following us closely, keeping a watchful eye on me.

Savannah asked, "Ms. Sharp, should we lose that car?"

I glanced at the rearview mirror. It was an ordinary car, the kind that blends into traffic, but it had been tailing us persistently. It was clear that Brandon had sent it.

I shook my head, "No, the more openly we act, the less they'll understand our plans. Just leave it."

When Kathy and I entered the hotel, the car stopped but didn't follow us inside, likely to avoid being noticed.

Little did they know, we had already spotted them.

Brandon's so-called cleverness was useless against us.

Savannah noted the car's license plate and reported it to Simon, who contacted his colleagues to investigate. We soon got results.

The car was registered to someone named Finnegan, a name that hadn't appeared in Brandon's social circle or company.

Simon said he was looking into the connection between Finnegan and Brandon, but it would take some time.

On the day Travis arrived, the car was still tailing us, but we didn't let it bother us.

Savannah drove skillfully, making several turns to shake the car off.

We arrived at our usual meeting spot, a place so secret that Brandon's team couldn't possibly figure it out.

I hurried into the private room where Travis was already waiting. He shook my hand, "Ms. Sharp, long time no see. You look much better."

I smiled, "Well, good news does that. I've decided to divorce Brandon, and I want to make sure he leaves with nothing. Can you help me with that?"

"Legally, for him to leave with nothing, we need proof of infidelity or other violations of marital safety," Travis explained.

I nodded, "I understand. I've prepared some evidence. Can you see if any of it is useful?"

"And what about the recent scandal of him and Maeve at the hotel? Can't that be used as evidence?"

Travis shook his head, "It can't be used as direct evidence without concrete proof of infidelity."

I nodded, not disappointed, and handed over all the evidence I had gathered against Brandon.

Travis carefully selected a few key pieces, including a recording of a conversation I had with Brandon after our fight.

"This recording is crucial. Since you're a party to the conversation, it can be used as key evidence."

"Most importantly, Brandon's actions in this recording, including infidelity and plotting against you, make it highly likely that he will leave with nothing."

I nodded, "The most important thing is to ensure the kids don't end up with him. I need custody of all three children."

"Don't worry, we'll work on that together."

With Travis's assurance, I felt relieved. He was one of the top lawyers in Skyview City.

After discussing the details of the divorce, Travis had to leave.

I saw him off and took a deep breath, feeling a weight lift off my chest.

I had finally taken the step towards divorce.

Six months ago, I couldn't have imagined this. I thought I was the happiest person in the world, with a loving husband and three adorable kids. Divorce was the last thing on my mind.

But in just six months, my life had changed drastically.

Still, I didn't regret uncovering the truth.

After my meeting with Travis, I got into Savannah's car to leave. As we merged onto the main road, the car that had been following us reappeared. It seemed they had been waiting nearby.

Just then, I received a call from Simon, "We don't know if the person in the car is Finnegan. The car is registered to him, but he was reported missing years ago."

"We suspect Finnegan's disappearance is connected to the driver. They must have bought the car under a missing person's name for a reason."
