He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband Chapter 215

"I don’t know why we need to et as three, but if Mr. Grant requests us to do so, then I suppose I am obliged to comply," Graham said sarcastically as he sat facing Henry and Kate, who looked like a couple in love.

Kate was more reserved and tried not to show too much public display of affection, but Henry was different.

His gaze, gesture, and soft words, everything that he did showed that he was madly in love with this woman.

"S—Sorry, Henry wants us to go together, and I don’t want him to get restless when we are discussing this prenup annulnt," Kate said. She tried to pull her hand because Henry held her hand tight, making their palm sweaty.

Yet, Henry didn’t even feel grossed out by it, not the slightest bit.

Graham noticed how much Henry tried to exert pressure on him, and his lips twitched as he got annoyed by Henry’s blatant show of possessiveness, "You’re already with us right now, Henry. No need to hog her all by yourself."

Henry, who had been ignoring Graham the whole ti, finally darted his eyes at him.

He didn’t have many good opinions about Graham, mostly because Graham was his late brother’s best friend, not his.

He asked Graham to co and help because Henry acknowledged this man’s capability as a divorce lawyer, but that didn’t an they had to pin all their hopes on him.

"Just do your job, Graham. Tell us what plan you have in mind. I can’t wait to fire you once you co up with a stupid idea," Henry said with a little threat.

"Henry!" Kate snapped at him. She knew he was still jealous, but treating their divorce lawyer like this was uncalled for. Thus, Kate tried to apologize on behalf of him, "I’m sorry about him, Graham. He doesn’t an it."

"I do an it."

Kate glared at her boyfriend, but the latter didn’t even care.

Graham sighed, dismissing the unpleasantness of this young man, "It’s fine, Kate. I know what kind of boy he is. I pity you even more," he had a mocking undertone in his words, but Henry didn’t budge. "Alright, let’s just talk about the prenup."

"Y—Yeah, let’s talk about the prenup. Is there a way to annul it?"

"Before that, I want to ask you, are you willing to be portrayed as a weak lady during the divorce trial?" Graham asked.

"Huh?" Kate frowned. "What does that an? A weak lady?"

"Annulling this prenup is a challenging task, Kate, and there is only one way to do it, especially because your ex-husband has never been physically aggressive to you," Graham said. "We can use ntal incapability and coercion as two valid reasons to annul this."

"You see, if you portray yourself as a weak woman coerced by your ex-husband, then we have a key for success," Graham said. "You can tell the judge that Matt coerced you to sign the prenup, that he was unwilling to provide for himself and his family, and that he tried to guilt-trip you many tis into submission, so you comply with whatever he desires, including being the sole breadwinner of the family."

"Is that even a valid reason?" Kate asked as she got hesitant.

Graham nodded, "Our ground might not be the strongest, but the fact that he has been fully financially dependent on you for five years should be logical enough for the judge to consider annulling the prenup."

"Just add a touch of spice in it, telling them that Matt manipulated you into signing the prenup," Graham tried to convince Kate. "The only downside is to be seen as a weak-willed woman manipulated by a lazy bastard. Well, it’s all up to you, Kate."

Kate went silent after that, still considering whether to go with Graham’s plan.

But before she could voice her answer, Henry gritted his teeth and snapped, "I don’t agree."

"Pardon?"

"I said I don’t agree with that plan," Henry repeated, ensuring that Graham could hear him clearly. "Kate is a tough woman. She knows what to do and has been doing everything on her own this whole ti. Why would you let her be humiliated in court?

"Can’t you co up with a better idea?" Henry asked. He then scoffed as he already lost his respect for Graham after knowing that Graham was coveting his woman. "I brought you from New York to California to solve this case without hurting her."

"Don’t get wrong, Henry. I know that she is a capable lady, but it is difficult to annul a legal prenup with solid ground," Graham insisted. "This is the only way, and I assure you, no matter how many divorce lawyers you call, they won’t be able to find a better option."

"You really think that you’re the best of the best, huh?" Henry sneered.

"Because I am," Graham replied coldly. "I am far more qualified than any of the expensive lawyers you can find."

Kate kept her silence, ignoring Henry and Graham, who were still arguing. She was in full focus, thinking about what she should do next.

She understood that Henry wanted to protect her dignity in court, and Kate also wanted to keep her tough persona in front of Matt because of her pride.

But at the sa ti, Graham’s words got her thinking.

’Am I really the tough lady I portray myself as?’ Kate asked herself. ’I an, the reality is far from that. He blackmailed because I was barren. He guilt-tripped into thinking that I’m worthless, and if I want him to stay, I need to work my ass off to compensate for my inability to give him a child.’

’I keep asking him for a fertility test together. But he’d guilt trip every ti I asked, saying that the result is obvious and a waste of money...’

’It was Henry who opened my eyes, showing that the barren one is Matt this whole ti.’
