220: Chapter 220

Chapter 220

"Tsk, I still can't believe I've failed to find a better lawyer than him," Henry complained. "Even Michael and my connections can't help much either."0

"Well, he is the best in his field. Let's just be professional for now, okay?"

"… I will demand compensation later," Henry said before finally agreeing to be civil with Graham. 

Kate giggled. She now found Henry's overprotectiveness and jealousy very cute, especially when he got annoyed by Graham, who simply offended him by existing. 

Kate and Henry walked side by side as they approached Graham, who was waiting at the front of the court. 

Graham smiled at Kate and took the initiative to approach her first.

He stretched his hand for a handshake and said, "Good morning, Kate. Are you ready to file for your divorce?"

Kate was about to shake Graham's hand, but Henry quickly snatched it, so it was him who shook Graham's hand instead.

"Yes, she is ready for this," Henry replied sarcastically. "It seems that you're far more excited about this than we do."

Graham's lips twitched out of annoyance, but he still acted professional and replied, "That is right, Mr. Grant. Kate is my client. Naturally, I want to accompany her for her divorce process."

Kate stared at these two grown-up men who acted like teenage boys. She rolled her eyes and sidestepped them, walking all by herself to enter the court building. 

"W—Wait, Kitty!" 

"Kate!"

Henry rushed to catch on, followed by Graham, who did the same. They were fighting to stand side by side with her.

But Kate ignored them completely and entered the divorce court alone.

**

It didn't take long for Kate to finish the administration for the divorce and return to Henry and Graham with a copy of the divorce petition. 

She talked to Graham first as her divorce lawyer, "I've filed for everything, and since it's a one-sided divorce, they said they will send a notice to Matt in about a week and wait for his response for at least a month."

"Good," Graham nodded. "I will talk to the higher-ups about this. Just like what I promised you before. I can help with the speed of the divorce. I will change the time of response from a month to a week for Matt, so he has no other way out and no time for him to find an attorney in such a short period of time, especially not with his financial condition."

"Thank you so much, Graham. I know you're truly the best in this field," Kate smiled. 

Graham's cheeks reddened a little as Kate gave him a sweet smile. He didn't know when he started feeling infatuated, but the less he met with Kate, the more beautiful she was in his mind.

"It's my job to assist you with this," Graham said. "Though, you can always thank me by having lunch together somewhere, only the two of us."

"Yeah, that's not going to happen," Henry interrupted. He wrapped his arm around Kate's waist and pulled her closer to his side. "Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Hubbard. But we still have things to do. See you later once we get more news about the divorce process."

Henry walked out of the state court with Kate. 

They returned to their car, and the first thing Henry said was, "Don't give Graham your sweet smile. You're only enabling him even more."

"I can't control how people feel about me," Kate shrugged. "He might like me, but I only want you. Is that enough to assure you about my heart?"

"Besides, I can't wait to have a new ring on my finger," Kate said as she showed her fingers to Henry, mentioning that space that should be adorned with a beautiful diamond ring.

Again, the fury and jealousy in Henry's heart were washed over once Kate began to show this kind of attention towards him. 

'As usual, she knows what to say to make me fall in love deeper,' Henry thought.

He kissed Kate's hand softly, "I can't wait to put a ring on your finger as well. You should be my Mrs. Grant."

"Oh, come on, is this all you can give me this month?" Harry—Mary's boy toy, complained as Mary gave his allowance. "A thousand bucks? Are you serious? Do you think I can live with this money? Didn't I tell you how much I need to buy a new guitar?"

Mary was distressed over his complaint.

"I'm sorry, honey. Matt is in a difficult situation, so he can't send me money," Mary said as she tried to calm her young man. 

"Then use your retirement fund!" Harry insisted. 

"I can only draw so much. I need to live as well…" Mary said. "Don't worry. I will try to get more money from Matt. I will tell him to sell the apartment he lives in right now."

Harry rolled his eyes, "Isn't he a director? There is no way a director could go broke. They earn millions whenever they direct a movie or a show! He is just fooling you because he prefers to pamper his useless wife than to feed his mother!"

Mary went silent after that.

She didn't know what to answer because she was still in denial, even after a phone call with Kate. 

Harry picked up his old guitar and stood up. He stared at the old woman with disgust, "Remember, Mary. I love you, but you have to pull your weight. You need to give me money to support me, or else I'd rather stay with another woman who can help me realize my dream."

Mary's face paled once she realized that her relationship would be ruined because of money, "H—Honey, please don't say that. I will find a way to get more money, I swear."

"Don't you see how much of a good deal I am? Do you think you'll ever get a man as good as me for the rest of your life? I bet not," Harry sneered. "So get the money from your son, or you'll see me sleeping with another woman next week."
