Chapter 56 Acquaintances Aren’t Necessarily Friends, They Might Be Enemies
As Adrian mentioned this, he slightly furrowed his brow. “She was involved in this case halfway through and suddenly returned to the country. The case was handed over to other lawyers, and I was just the doctor responsible for rescue at the time, providing a death certificate. This case had nothing to do with me, and I was also preparing to return to the country. The case probably hasn’t been adjudicated yet.”
Daphne couldn’t help but quip. “The efficiency abroad is as low as always. Tsk tsk.”
Adrian chuckled. “I have a very strong impression of that lawyer, Ms. Jane.”
“Why’s that?”
“It involves a girl’s private life; I respect her privacy rights, so I won’t say for now.”
Daphne pursed her lips. “That surely doesn’t sound good.”
Adrian smiled but didn’t say anything, essentially confirming it.
After a while, a waiter hurried over. “Hello.”
Daphne asked, “Is the pineapple rice out again? I knew it; your pineapple rice sells out so quickly. It’s fine. If it’s unavailable, just cancel the order.
The waiter shook his head. “The pineapple rice has already been ordered for you, but you have two friends who came over and said they want to share a table with you.”
“My friends?”
“Yes, that’s what they said.”
Daphne looked at Adrian. “Did you invite anyone else?”
Adrian slightly furrowed his brow and shook his head. “No.”
“Neither did I.” Daphne confirmed with the waiter again. “Are you sure they’re my friends? Did they mention my name?”

The waiter was bewildered. “Huh? Aren’t they your friends?”
“Of course, we’re friends.” Lysanne supported her belly and walked over with a smile. She said to the

Daphne sneered, “Maybe we were arguing?”
“Regardless, we know each other.”
“Acquaintances aren’t necessarily friends; they might be enemies.”
Lysanne couldn’t maintain her smile. “Miss Everhart, I’m pregnant. There’s no need for you to be so hostile.”
“It’s not my child you’re carrying; it’s not my concern Daphne rolled her eyes and then pointed at her. saying to the waiter, “Get her out of here; we’re not friends.”
After the commotion outside just now, the waiter didn’t dare provoke this tough pregnant woman again.
He could only look helpless.
“Sir,” the waiter said, seeking help from Josiah. “Would you mind taking your wife out for a moment?”
Josiah’s expression was dark. He nodded slightly. “Sorry.”
He reached out to pull Lysanne, but she raised her hand to push him away. “Dr. Thorne, I’m already inside. You can’t just kick out a heavily pregnant woman, can you? Besides, you’ve been unreachable by phone and WhatsApp lately, Josiah couldn’t find you even if he wanted to discuss divorce.”
“I blocked him,” Lysander stated. “Mr. Guerra, have you seen the divorce agreement? Are there any objections?”
Josiah smiled bitterly.
The so-called divorce agreement is just two sentences.
The couple’s assets are split equally after marriage, each earning and spending their own. She doesn’t want any my family’s assets; she just wants a quick release.
What objections could I possibly have?
