Divorce Court

Mrs. Kelly picked up her cell phone and called Karina. She hoped that the girl would not despair or cry at the news that Franz had divorced her. She also hoped that the girl would not be disappointed with how Franz had treated her.

*In the phone call...

"Karina, why didn't you tell me that Franz had divorced you, huh? You know, I only found out because Franz told me. Franz came back to the house in the city and told me that he divorced you. Why did you agree to it and sign that sacred paper, Karina? You shouldn't have signed it..." Mrs. Kelly spoke quietly to Karina. On the other side, Mrs. Kelly could hear that Karina was still crying. From the sound of her sobs, she still could not answer Mrs. Kelly's question.

"I still can't accept this, Mrs. Kelly... But what can I do? Franz forced me to sign the divorce papers. He threatened to put me in jail if I didn't fulfill his wishes. I've also apologized to him for how I've been treated,"

"Oh my... what a misfortune for you, Karina. Our plans also failed because you didn't get pregnant with Franz's child,"

"That's what I think Mrs. Kelly. But I'm trying to change, if I do get pregnant with Franz's child, I still won't go back to Franz. It's been painful enough for me and I've sacrificed enough to maintain my love for Franz. I'm sorry too, Mrs. Kelly. I couldn't fulfill our plan. I want to change into a good woman,"

"No, Karina! You still have a chance to get back with Franz! Don't give up yet, it's not over yet!" Mrs. Kelly was still encouraging and hoping that Karina would keep her marriage to Franz.

"I can't, Mrs. Kelly. I've decided the right thing. I also promised Franz that I would change. I won't let him down again,"

"You won't let Franz down or you really don't want to go to jail, huh?"

"It's one or the other, Mrs. Kelly. I don't want my future to be ruined just because I was once imprisoned. Please don't ever contact me again, Mrs. Kelly. Thank you for being by my side and helping me out whenever you could. I think this is it for our friendship. I'm going abroad to calm down from all these problems, Bye, Mrs. Kelly."

"No Karina, you..." before she could continue her sentence, Karina had already hung up.

Tut... Tut... Tut...

"Damn! The phone's already hung up?"

"How annoying is that Karina! ARRGGH! I'm not going to let this go. I will persuade Karina to come back to Franz!" Mrs. Kelly with her emotions running high tried to find another solution so that Karina would still be on her side and not just give up.

On the other hand, Karina was still with her father and Charlie in the living room.

"How is it now, Father? I already want to change into a better person. What about you guys? Are you going to turn yourselves in for the wrong you did by harming Franz and Hana?" Karina asked. Mr. Brian was silent this time, still at a loss to think of a middle ground.

"I'm not going to admit it. Where would I put my face? My friends will stay away from me if they find out that I did that crazy thing to Franz and Hana," Charlie said.

"Then don't expect you to get away with it. You'll be chased by the police because you'll be a wanted man when the secret is revealed."

"That's why you keep quiet! Don't tell the police anything about this!" Charlie retorted.

"It's true what Charlie said, Karina. Maybe then you can save us from Franz's threat," said her father.

"Yes, I'll keep quiet. Time will tell. The important thing is that I tried to warn you!" After saying that, Karina simply left the living room.

"How is it, Mr. Brian? Why did things get so complicated?" Charlie rubbed his forehead.

"For the time being, we must never reveal this secret. Even if it's with Mrs. Kelly, Franz's mother. Never!"

"Okay, then we'll just pretend we don't know?"

"Yeah, I guess that's better than getting caught. I don't want to go to jail either. I didn't want to set Karina up with Franz in the first place after finding out that Franz

Franz and Karina were in the courtroom. Franz provided evidence of Karina's manipulations and lies, while Karina herself didn't provide any evidence because it was her fault. She could only nod and admit her mistake in front of the judge.

"Okay, based on all the evidence, you are officially divorced!"

DOK! DOK! DOK!

The sound of three taps between the wooden gavel and the table signaled that they were officially legally divorced.

At the same time, Ronald and Jennifer were also in court on the same day and place as Franz and Karina. They were just in different rooms.

"Jennifer cheated on me in front of my eyes and there is still a lot of CCTV evidence that I attached in the file that I presented earlier. It has been proven that Jennifer did cheat on me and I want this divorce to be processed immediately!" Ronald said this loudly. Jennifer began to make her defense by standing up from her sitting position.

"I committed the affair because my husband started to never come home and never gave me any money at all! I actually don't mind divorcing Ronald, as long as he gives me the property instead!" Jennifer exclaimed with a sly expression on her face. Ronald himself certainly didn't accept that.

"No! All of the property in my house comes from myself. There is not a penny of money from Jennifer. Please judge be fair with me!" Ronald exclaimed.

"STOP! If you're still fighting over property issues with such emotion, it's better for you to talk about it together first. In the meantime, the trial is adjourned for three days!" The judge's decision is inviolable.

DOK! DOK! DOK!

'CK! Shit! Why can't the judge just decide now, anyway? I've wanted a divorce from Jennifer forever! Do I just give up half my property for her?' Ronald thought.

'But it would be a shame to give up my fortune for that cheating woman!' Ronald continued silently.

Ronald left the room still thinking about the treasure that Jennifer had referred to earlier in court, because he was daydreaming, he didn't pay attention to the road until...

BRUGH!

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

"You?"
