Ch. He Laughed While I Was Hit 33 He Laughed While I Was Hit 33

Chapter 33 

“But after that? After that, I was good to you.” 

“Which part?” I asked. 

“The part where you sidelined me in a token position after you got the license? Or the part where you stood by and watched while Francesca slapped me?” 

He had no answer. 

“Marco, every time you talk about sincerity, there’s a condition 

attached.” 

“I don’t want to hear it anymore.”

I hung up. 

The case wasn’t as straightforward as David had initially thought. 

The evidence we had wasn’t enough to prove they had used our marriage to fraudulently obtain intellectual property. 

The license had been genuinely signed. 

And the company had, in fact, used it according to the agreement 

for three years. 

I didn’t ask David to manufacture evidence that didn’t exist.

“Take it as far as the law allows. No further.” 

“Understood.” 

In the end, we focused on the unauthorized investigation and use of my personal information, and on the violation of my rights caused by the improper change to the observer seat. 

After she received the legal notice, Francesca contacted me directly for the first time. 

“Astrid, let’s meet.” 

“At my lawyer’s office.”

“Can’t we do it without lawyers?” 

“No.” 

She went quiet for a few seconds. 

“You weren’t like this before.” 

“Before, you thought I was naive. Easy to control.” 

“Now you can’t control me, and you don’t know what to do.” 

Francesca’s breath hitched.

I didn’t wait for her to answer. 

“Tomorrow. Two p.m.” 

“If you’re late, don’t bother coming.” 

The next afternoon at 1:59, she pushed open the door to David’s 

office. 

She carried no handbag. 

And the eighty-thousand-dollar necklace was gone from her 

neck.
