CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 55: THE ONE SUING JORDAN HAWTHORNE IS SABRINA

Sabrina was stunned for a moment, suddenly looking up at her mother, "Mom, how did you..."

Galina Young’s face didn’t look good, clearly somewhat angry, "Do you really think your father and I can’t see anything? If he truly cared about you, how could he be so indifferent?

In the past, he wasn’t focused on this family at all. You explained it was for work, and we believed you...

But this time looking at you, there’s a shadow over your eyes. Clearly unhappy, yet you have to force a smile for me and your father. You’ve lost so much weight, but he seems blind to it, completely indifferent...

Is this how one truly loves another?

Whenever I have a headache or cold, your father gets extremely anxious. But him? He comes home, doesn’t even glance at you, and doesn’t care about Zara either..."

Saying this, Galina suddenly found it difficult to continue.

She paused for a while, then said with difficulty, "At lunch in the restaurant, your dad said he saw him with another woman. I still thought he made a mistake, but now it seems he didn’t!"

Sabrina was completely dumbfounded.

She never expected her parents had already seen through the issues.

Even at noon, they witnessed those two families together.

Turns out, her efforts to hide everything had long been seen through by them.

Charles Hayes was equally angry and heartbroken, "We raised you with our own hands. Even though you’re married, you’re still the apple of our eyes. We can see a slight change in your emotions at a glance."

Galina Young asked her, "When did it start between him and that woman outside?"

With slightly red eyes, Sabrina pressed her lips, "Before being with me, they were boyfriend and girlfriend. After marriage, he never forgot about her, and recently that woman returned to the country... I only found out recently!"

"Outrageous! Truly outrageous!"

Charles Hayes slammed the table in anger.

Normally calm and steady, but now his daughter’s mistreatment stirred his emotions, "I’m going to confront Jordan Hawthorne for an explanation right now!"

Sabrina quickly grabbed his arm, "Dad, don’t go!"

"Why shouldn’t I? He’s been bullying you like this. Sabrina, don’t be afraid. Even though the Hawthorne Family has power and influence, with me here, I will get justice for you!"

Charles’s face flushed red with anger.

He only has this one daughter, cherished and cared for since childhood.

Yet, after marrying into the Hawthorne Family, she’s been mistreated like this.

How can a father bear this?

Sabrina shook her head, "Dad, really don’t... You know how cold Jordan Hawthorne is. What good would it do if you went? Right now, I just want to divorce him, I don’t want to waste energy arguing with him. So, please don’t go, okay?"

Her last words were even tinged with a hint of pleading.

In fact, Sabrina didn’t want her father to be humiliated.

Jordan dared to treat her parents so coldly even in person, and if it escalated, he would likely be even more ruthless.

How could she let her father take such risks?

Charles clearly understood her concerns as well, showing a bit of sadness and heartache.

Galina Young tugged on her husband’s clothes, saying, "Listen to Sabrina, don’t go. As for the divorce... it certainly needs to happen, and the sooner the better!"

Sabrina couldn’t believe how unhesitatingly her mother agreed.

"Is it possible? Really... can we divorce?"

"Why not?"

Charles didn’t even need to think and said, "My daughter is being bullied like this, why stay with him? Divorce immediately, your mom and I absolutely support you!"

Sabrina’s eyes instantly reddened.

In such a situation, nothing brings more peace of mind than parental support.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad," she said with a choked voice.

Galina said nothing, just pulled her daughter into her embrace.

At this time, no words could compare to a warm hug.

Charles stroked her head, comforting, "Be good, Sabrina. With Mom and Dad here, no matter what happens, we’ll always be your strong support!"

Leaning in her parents’ arms, Sabrina felt a surge of infinite courage in her heart.

Even though she didn’t understand why Jordan refused to divorce, she was no longer willing to be trampled upon.

Early the next morning, after sending Zara to school, Sabrina immediately contacted her best friend.

"Tessa, I want to see the lawyer who helped draft the divorce agreement last time. Can you set up an appointment?"

Tessa Hughes’s spirits lifted, "What’s up? Did that bastard Jordan Hawthorne agree to the divorce?"

"No, he disagrees, so I’m preparing to file a lawsuit... I’m planning to meet him directly in court!"

Sabrina said resolutely.

Tessa naturally supported her one hundred percent, "Wait up, I’ll take you to see him. No need to make an appointment, the lawyer is actually my cousin."

"Alright."

Sabrina nodded in agreement.

Tessa arrived quickly, picking her up to meet the lawyer in less than half an hour.

The lawyer’s name was Damian Langley.

He had long been informed about Sabrina’s situation, and with Tessa’s prior notice, the meeting quickly moved to the main discussion after brief pleasantries.

"You say you want to forgo all property division and only retain custody of the child, are you sure?"

Sabrina nodded without hesitation, "I’m sure! The agreement you drafted last time, he didn’t sign it, obviously, he disagreed. I don’t want to waste time entangling with him, so I voluntarily give up all property, just for my daughter’s custody."

Hearing this, Damian Langley said nothing.

A lawyer’s priority is the client’s needs.

Since Sabrina didn’t want to fight, he wouldn’t interfere excessively.

But Tessa beside him fumed, "Doesn’t this let that bastard off too easily?"

Sabrina shook her head, "It doesn’t matter, my time is also precious. It shouldn’t be wasted on unnecessary people and things!"

After saying this, she solemnly requested Damian, "Please help me finalize this quickly, thank you."

Damian nodded, "Rest assured, the court summons will soon be in his hands!"

...

The next day, at the Hawthorne Group, in the CEO’s office.

Jordan Hawthorne was busy handling a mountain of documents when Brooke Sinclairs came to report on the progress of the R&D department.

"The recruitment process is going smoothly. This time, candidates include graduates from several top domestic universities and two returning high achievers. The documents are on your desk, you can take a look. I think they’re all quite good."

"Thank you for your effort."

Jordan took them and glanced through each one.

In Brooke’s eyes was a wave of tenderness. She stepped behind him, placing her hands on his shoulders to gently massage.

Seemingly helping him relax, but leaning closer, she whispered teasingly beside his ear, "Compared to your hard work, what is mine? You still have so many documents to handle; it makes one feel sorry for you!"

Jordan’s gaze darkened, his attention instantly diverted.

All his senses converged on his ear.

He could clearly feel the warm breath gently stirring, tantalizing his heart.

The man immediately leaned back in the chair, pulling the woman beside him with one hand, his voice hoarse, "Are you massaging, or seducing me?"

Brooke blushed slightly, playfully retorting, "What nonsense are you saying? I’m just helping you relax. Let me go..."

"What if I don’t?"

Jordan’s eyes darkened, holding her even tighter.

As the two of them exchanged glances, a suggestive atmosphere lingered in the air.

Just as things were heating up, a sudden urgent knock on the door interrupted them.

The ’bang bang bang’ sound startled them both inside.

Brooke felt a slight displeasure, but pretended to be shy as she withdrew from his embrace and sat on the opposite sofa.

Jordan frowned, visibly displeased at having his moment spoiled, speaking coldly, "Enter!"

Naturally, it was Chase Lynch.

He quickly came to the desk, respectfully saying, "CEO, there’s a court summons here."

Jordan frowned, not intending to take it, nonchalantly saying, "If it’s a business dispute, have the group’s legal department handle it. Why bring it to me?"

Chase’s expression was solemn, "It’s not for the group, but for you."

Jordan’s expression darkened.

For him?

Someone suing him?

Who had such audacity?

Coldly, he took it, opened it, and glanced at it.

Initially, the man had a somewhat indifferent expression.

But upon seeing the content, his face changed.

It was a summons for a divorce lawsuit.

The one suing him was... Sabrina!!
