216: Chapter 216

Chapter 216

Of course, after knowing she could get pregnant, Kate stood her ground and divorced Matt without thinking twice because she had no more reason to stay.0

She was pregnant with the baby of a smart and handsome man. 

She had her own money and was also pampered by the baby daddy, who had an absurd amount of wealth Matt would never see.

Lastly, she didn't need to worry about her mother anymore. She had already admitted Hilda to a nursing facility for the elderly and also threw her bitch sister to the frozen wasteland. However, Henry said that Erin was barely alive because she was suffering every day. 

But in the end, she was still the same stupid woman who her husband fooled into blaming herself for his infertility.

'Katherine Woods, the idiot mentally incapable of making her own decision because she thought she could make it work with Matt.'

'Haha, this is so ridiculous,' Kate laughed at herself. 'Graham told me to act like a dumb, pitiful wife that got coerced into signing a prenup and worked to the bone as the sole breadwinner.'

'But I don't need to act. I was the dumb wife in this relationship.'

Kate felt disgusted at herself because Matt had taken advantage of her for so long, yet she was still trying to forgive him despite his many faults. 

"Tsk, this is going nowhere," Henry said as he kept arguing with Grahan. "I don't want my woman to look dumb before the judge!"

"Henry, I have my decision now."

Henry and Graham turned their heads toward Kate at the same time. Henry was the first to frown and ask, "What do you mean? Surely, you won't agree with his suggestion, right? That idea is ridiculous! I will find another lawyer that is much better than Graham!"

"No, I accept the idea. I will do that," Kate said firmly, much to Henry's shock.

"W—What?" Henry couldn't believe what he heard just now. "Don't be silly. You know that's a stupid idea. Why would you lower yourself like that? Don't worry. I'll find you a new one. Many lawyers will take this case as long as I pay them handsomely."

"There is no other way, Henry. Just let Graham handle this case, and if he wants me to act like a dumb wife to convince the judge to annul the prenup, then so be it," Kate insisted. 

Graham smiled at Kate's decision, "You've made the right choice, Kate. I won't disappoint you, I promise."

Kate stared at Graham coldly and replied, "I did this because I am petty enough to get all my assets. I don't care even if I have to look weak."

Graham's eyes got soft as he stared at the vicious lady. 

'James is right. Kate is a gentle lady who gets pushed to the edge. She has nobody to rely upon except herself, 'Graham thought. 'Ah, what to do? It only makes me want to explore her more. I want to see her vulnerable side and pamper her…'

Henry noticed Graham's softening gaze toward Kate and snapped, "Stop looking at my woman!"

His voice was loud enough to get the attention of other tables. 

Graham sneered at Henry and said, "So uncivilized and rough. I thought you were better than this, Henry. Don't you see that you're embarrassing Kate right now?"

"Don't put words into my mouth, Graham," Kate said before Henry could react. She held his hand tight, assuring Henry she was on his side. "I don't want any infighting here. Let's proceed with the prenup annulment and the divorce."

Henry glared at Graham with eyes that could kill. He was furious at Graham, who tried to mock him to make him look better in front of Kate.

He respected Graham as his late brother's best friend, but if he dared to touch his woman, then he didn't need to give him respect. 

Henry would be the first one to punch him in the face for that.

"You're right, pardon me," Graham cleared his throat. "Then I will take your answer as a yes, and with that, I will contact the local court first to see if I can do something to make it even easier for you to process the divorce. I will notify you at the right time to file for divorce in court."

"Yes, please notify me. I will file it myself once you give me the sign to go," Kate said. She couldn't wait to shove that divorce paper to Matt's face, and if he refused to comply?

Well, there was zero chance of him refusing to comply because he had nothing, no backup, and no money to hire an attorney.

But if he miraculously tried to challenge her? 

Then she had all the evidence to slam him to the ground. 

"Good, then I will return with good news," Graham said. He got up and grabbed his briefcase. He smiled amicably at Kate and stretched his hand for a handshake, "It's nice meeting you, Kate."

Kate shook his hand and showed a thin smile, "Likewise. Are you not going to stay for lunch?"

"I am not hungry," Graham replied. He glanced at Henry, who was about to kill him, and added, "Tell me if you need any help. I will always protect you from any harm—and an overly emotional man."

"You—!"

Kate giggled, "I'm sure that overly emotional man won't hurt me. But thank you for the offer."

"See you later, Kate."

Graham finally walked away without worry, unlike Henry, who was still trying to control himself not to lunge at him.

"That bastard…" Henry murmured while staring at Graham's back.

Kate sighed. She gently patted his chest, "Babe, calm down. I'm still in here, by your side."

Henry's heart felt warm when Kate patted his chest and called him babe. 

Though he was at ease with her by his side, he still didn't understand the reason behind her willingness to be a dumb and weak wife in the court.

"Kitty, why did you listen to Graham's stupid idea? You know I can find a much better lawyer, right?"
