Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 277

“She can’t take it,” Tyler said at last. “Tell her—that’s from me.”

The call ended.

Chloe’s lips curled into a smug smile. “Hear that?”

Emilia glanced calmly at Secretary Jensen. “Then we’ll see you in court.”

Her tone was steady, as if this was just another routine matter.

Finally, she looked at Lawyer Lewis, then turned to leave with him. The two walked away, and just before the elevator doors closed, Chloe’s voice floated over, sharp and mocking:

“Don’t even think about it, Emilia!”

Neither Emilia nor Lewis spoke as they descended and crossed the marble lobby, only breaking their silence when they stepped into the plaza outside the Erickson Building. Lewis finally spoke. “Miss Dennis, we anticipated this. It’s not unusual for the Erickson Group to refuse. From here, we proceed with legal action. Based on the evidence you’ve provided, there’s a good chance we’ll reclaim what’s yours—through a settlement or by purchase.”

He hesitated a moment before adding, “Of course, litigation takes time. It’s not as quick as a straightforward division of assets.”

Emilia watched the flow of traffic ahead, headlights flashing in the gray afternoon. She nodded quietly.

Fortunately, she’d never really pinned her hopes on him in the first place. Coming here today was just a formality.

“Lewis, I’ll leave the rest to you,” Emilia said.

“Of course.” He nodded. “But Miss Dennis, be ready for a long battle.”

She nodded again, and they parted ways at the curb.

Emilia climbed into her car. As soon as she settled behind the wheel, her phone buzzed.
