Secretly Married for 4 Years, He Regrets to Tears After the Divorce-Chapter 126: Ensuring Wren Sutton Wins

Wren Sutton’s decision to get a divorce was good news for Spencer Sawyer, but he took no pleasure in her misfortune.

’What woman would want a divorce unless the love was gone? Especially when there’s a child involved.’

Thinking of this, Spencer Sawyer’s heart ached for Wren Sutton. She had truly married the wrong man.

’She’s such an amazing woman,’ he thought. ’Her husband must be blind.’

’No wonder that man didn’t go with Wren to the police station today, or even pick her up. He clearly couldn’t care less.’

’Even with a child, couldn’t he have asked the grandparents to watch them for a little while? It wouldn’t have taken long.’

Spencer Sawyer’s mind raced with a thousand thoughts, all of them centered on Wren Sutton.

He didn’t hear a single word of the conversation that followed between Wren Sutton and Aaron Pierce.

"Mr. Pierce, I swear to God, I didn’t push Maya Marshall. I may hate her, I may despise her, but I never thought about harming her or wanting her dead."

"I understand, but the law is all about evidence."

Wren Sutton understood that.

But so far, the chain of evidence contained nothing in her favor. Everything pointed to the Marshall Family’s version of events.

"Mr. Pierce, what should I do now? The Marshall Family will never drop the lawsuit."

"Leave the case to me. I’ll handle it. If I need you to provide anything, I’ll let you know in advance."

"Okay, I’ll cooperate fully. Thank you, Mr. Pierce."

"It’s not too late to thank me after we’ve won the case."

Before they left the coffee shop, Aaron Pierce gave Wren Sutton his business card, and they exchanged contact information.

It was only then that Wren Sutton learned a surprising detail: Mr. Pierce’s given name was the same as Sean Sterling’s.

Afterward, Aaron Pierce returned to his law firm, while Wren Sutton and Spencer Sawyer headed back to Amberwood Estates.

「At the same time.」

Mr. Marshall was negotiating with Adrian Lancaster, stating his terms for a settlement.

"Adrian, I’m a man of my word. As long as you and Maya register your marriage, I’ll drop the case immediately. I’ll never bring this matter up again for the rest of my life."

Mrs. Marshall chimed in, "That’s right. That’s what he means. We absolutely keep our promises."

This was less a negotiation and more a threat against the Lancaster family. Adrian Lancaster’s expression soured, his gaze turning ice-cold.

On the way over, he had assumed Mr. Marshall was after shares in The Lancaster Group.

Adrian Lancaster had already prepared himself. He would have agreed to anything if Mr. Marshall had asked for shares or money.

’Money can be earned back, but a person, once gone, is gone for good.’

He had to admit that he didn’t want to lose Wren Sutton. He couldn’t bear the thought of divorcing her.

It had nothing to do with love, but still... he just wasn’t willing to let her go.

"And if I don’t agree?"

Mr. Marshall didn’t get angry at his words. On the contrary, he remained perfectly composed.

"If you don’t agree, Wren Sutton will face prison time. I will show no mercy and I will not drop the case."

Just as Mr. Marshall finished speaking, Maya Marshall woke up.

In truth, she had been awake since Adrian Lancaster entered the room, merely pretending to be asleep.

"Dad, Mom, don’t make things difficult for Adrian."

"In my condition, I probably can’t have children anymore. What man would want to marry me? Even if Adrian were willing, I couldn’t marry him. I can’t bear the thought of ruining his entire life’s happiness."

"Adrian, you should go. Don’t listen to my dad. He’s getting old and confused, just spouting nonsense. Don’t take him seriously."

Maya Marshall’s words painted her as a reasonable, understanding woman who was swallowing all her grievances on her own.

Adrian Lancaster was deeply moved.

"It’s not that I’m rejecting you. Please don’t misunderstand."

"I don’t. Whatever you decide, I won’t blame you."

Mr. Marshall shook his head and sighed, playing his part by looking helpless and heartbroken.

"Maya, you’re too devoted. It’s heartbreaking to see."

Maya Marshall said no more and closed her eyes, pretending to go back to sleep.

His mind a whirl of complex emotions, Adrian Lancaster left the hospital room. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall didn’t stop him, simply letting him go.

Adrian Lancaster sat in his car, lit a cigarette, and stared blankly ahead.

’If I don’t agree to their terms, the Marshall Family won’t drop the case. That means I have to make sure Wren wins.’

’If she loses, her whole life will be ruined.’

’It looks like I need to find a good lawyer to help Wren win this case,’ Adrian Lancaster thought.

As far as he knew, the best damn lawyer in the entire country was right here in Aston. The man ran his own firm, and his name was Aaron Pierce.
