Chapter 288 Nothing But Liars
Inside the break room, Nathaniel pinched the bridge of his nose and turned toward Ernest. “Where did you get those photos from?”
Back when he was with Cecilia, he wouldn’t allow anyone to casually take pictures of them.
Ernest didn’t bother hiding the truth from him. “Footage from surveince cameras.”
Ever since he lost that onewsuit, he never again engaged in battles he wasn’t confident of winning.
Nathaniel was somewhat incredulous. Over this period of time, obtaining so many photos from surveince cameras would have been a significant task.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Kennedy, you cannot enter.”
“Fine, I won’t enter. Could you please ask Ernest toe out, then? I need to see him.”
The sounds of conversation between Vivian and the bodyguard drifted in from outside.
Ernest stood up. “I’ll handle this.”
“Okay.” Nathaniel didn’t stop him.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
He knew of Ernest’s ambition. Ernest would never forfeit a chance at fame and fortune for the sake of a woman.
The divorce proceedings this time around would undoubtedly bring both parties‘wyers into the public eye.
The crisp sound of a p echoed down the hallway.
Ernest stood his ground, offering no retaliation.
Vivian’s hand was trembling slightly as it slowly descended.
“Have you had enough?” Ernest asked coldly.
Tears welled up in Vivian’s eyes. “As Nathaniel’swyer, don’t you know what kind of person he is? Do you have any idea how miserable my friend has–been? Nathaniel was reluctant toy a hand on Ceci, but his mother, Elena, was eager for Ceci to be pregnant. She pressured her into consuming bag after bag of traditional medicine and undergoing various examinations. That still wasn’t enough, though. Ceci was wholeheartedly in love with him, yet he was always fixated on other women. He even personally ruined thepany her father had single–handedly established… Although Nathaniel has neverid a hand on Cecilia, his actions were far worse than hitting a woman. They were utterly despicable and shameless!”
Vivian was meticulously listing down Nathaniel’s faults, hoping that Ernest could, like he did in his youth, stand up for the side of justice.

Regrettably, people change.
Ernest interrupted her coldly, “Ms. Kennedy, I’m just awyer. I’m not an embodiment of justice. I’m merely trying to fulfill my duties.”
Vivian’s vision was obscured by her tears. “B–But you once said you wanted to be awyer for the sake of those impoverished individuals who couldn’t afford to seek justice!”
Upon hearing this, Ernest let out a cold chuckle. “Aren’t you being a bit too naive, Ms. Kennedy? The words I’ve spoken before were merely to deceive naive girls like you. It was all for the sake of getting on the Kennedy family’s good side. Since your father refused to ept me, there’s no point in me keeping up the charade.”
Under Vivian’s astonished gaze, he added, “If you want to win, then show me what you’re capable. of. Don’t think that shedding a few tears will make me yield to you.”
This was probably what it meant to hit someone where it hurts.
Vivian froze on the spot. She couldn’t help but wallow in self–mockery.
Just moments ago, she had thought she could bring Ernest back to how he used to be. Little did she know, his past self was all but a ruse to deceive her.
All these so–called justice–seekingwyers are nothing but liars!
Vivian’s throat was aching. She had always looked up to Ernest as her role model.
Even after they broke up, she still remembered Ernest’s dream of bing awyer who stood for justice. Hence, despite her father’s disapproval, she chose to be awyer.
Even while managing the Kennedy family’s branchpany, she never neglected her legal aid work.
However, her faith had crumbled that day.
On the other side, Cecilia was alone in the break room, clutching her phone tightly
She knew another way that might just win her thewsuit.
