“If he hasn’t cheated, committed domestic abuse, or been involved in drugs, you can’t file for divorce,” Lana said. “If you go to court, your divorce will be dismissed. There won’t even be a hearing.”
Suzanne clenched her fists in annoyance. “You toldbefore that I could file for divorce.”
“That’s when you toldthat he had another woman. I thought you had evidence.”

Just when she was hesitating, Wendy approached her leisurely and
leaned on her shoulder.
Suzanne reacted and looked at Wendy. “Hello, Wendy.”
“What are you thinking about?” Wendy grinned meaningfully.
She pursed her lips bitterly and remained silent for a few seconds. Then, she murmured, “Why do Duke and Layla hateso much?”
Wendy raised an eyebrow and sneered, whispering, “Duke is known for being indecisive. I suppose he has no objections to you. But his life revolves around his wife, so he despises those his wife dislikes. No reason is required.”
“Then why does Layla hateso much? Just because of my background and my past?”
Wendy took Suzanne’s hand, and they headed to the stairs side by side. She whispered, “Actually, Layla likes your husband. She put in a lot of effort to marry Nate and used many connections. But he rejected her in the end.
“It happened that Duke was pursuing he, so she married him out of spite. Can’t you tell that she dislikes Duke, who always pleases her? It’s normal for her to hate you.”

Suzanne was flustered under his burning gaze and blurted out, “But Liam isn’t back yet.”
Nathan’s expression darkened slightly.
Wendy coughed awkwardly. “Why did you mention Liam so suddenly? I’ll go back to my room first. I won’t bother you two.”
As she stepped back, she noticed their expressions and realized they were an interesting couple. They might seem so aloof and disinterested, but their eyes were filled with love.
After she returned to her room, they were the only two people still in the corridor.
The living room downstairs was lively, but several pairs of eyes were watching them.
