How could his son and that malicious woman resemble a mother–and–son pair?
Clark and Felix went quiet. The two of them exchanged a glance, both sighing helplessly in their hearts.
Bradley’s phone rang.
“It’s me,” Bradley answered the call while walking out of the hospital room to the corridor.
A lawyer in a suit walked up to Bradley with a briefcase and respectfully greeted him, “Mr. Warner.”
“Let’s talk inside.” Bradley pushed open the door of the
hospital ward and signaled the lawyer to follow him into the study.
He handed the pre–signed divorce agreement from Esther to the lawyer and asked in a deep voice, “With this divorce.
agreement, I entrust you to handle all the related procedures.”
The divorce agreement, bearing Esther’s personal signature, was meticulously drafted by this lawyer. The terms of the
agreement were stringent, ensuring the utmost protection of Bradley’s interests.
“Mr. Warner, according to the regular process, after signing the divorce agreement, both parties need to bring their relevant
documents to the office to obtain a divorce certificate, “said the lawyer.
Bradley thought of Esther’s selective amnesia and could not help but ask with a headache, “Under what circumstances does

it not require both parties to be present?”
“According to our country’s marriage laws, if one party cannot be present due to other factors, such as being imprisoned or in a
comatose state, you can file for a divorce directly in such cases, and the court will approve the divorce straightaway,” replied the
lawyer.
Bradley asked coldly, “What if she has amnesia?”
“If Ms. Quill is in a state of amnesia, she voluntarily accompanies you to the office for the divorce procedures, or you may
proceed with filing for divorce independently.
However, under the current circumstances, there’s usually a cooling–off period for a normal divorce.
“In the case of filing for divorce, the court generally does not grant the divorce on the first application. It’ll consider the divorce on
the second application. At the same time, if the wife’s amnesia is involved, the court will also carefully consider this,” explained
the lawyer.

Once this divorce agreement is exposed, it will be extremely detrimental to you and the company.”
Bradley’s expression froze slightly. After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, he said lightly, “File for the divorce.”
As for whether Esther could take it psychologically or not, that was not something he should consider.
The lawyer replied, “Okay, I’ll submit the relevant documents to the court early tomorrow morning.
“Thank you,” Bradley said without much emotion.
The lawyer answered, “It’s my duty. Oh, by the way, the legal department has found some clues regarding Mr. Johnston’s
accident.”
Bradley’s expression darkened as he asked, “What did you find?”
“Mr. Warner, we suspect that this car accident wasn’t an accident but intentional.” The lawyer retrieved a surveillance video from
his phone. “Take a look. Since Mr. Johnston left Madam Jenner of Sunflower Welfare, this black sedan with a fake license plate
has been following his car. Mr. Johnston’s navigation was set to the hospital after leaving the
sanatorium, but... an accident happened on his way to the hospital.”
Bradley watched as Cole’s Mercedes–Benz was hit and fell into
the river. He ordered resolutely, “Dig deep into the driver’s social network. I want them to pay a painful price.”
“Yes, Mr. Warner.”
Meanwhile, Esther’s things were all packed up.
