Because the mediation had ended on bad terms, Summer Thorne returned to the office and worked late into the night just to finish the day's tasks.
It was already past midnight when she got home.
Summer Thorne took a shower and fell into a deep sleep, not expecting to wake up until noon the next day.
The moment she opened her eyes and picked up her phone, Summer Thorne was greeted by another piece of unpleasant news.
The messages were from the lawyer she had hired. There were three of them—
"Miss Thorne, the hearing is about to start. Are you coming?"
"Miss Thorne, just as we predicted, the court did not grant the divorce."
"I'm sorry. This was all I could do."
Summer Thorne stared at the three messages quietly, completely unsurprised and unfazed.
She had already had a thorough discussion with her lawyer before receiving the news and knew how difficult this divorce case would be.
The lawsuit had dragged on for so long thanks to Mason Crawford's capabilities.
