Chapter 161
After listening to the whole story, Blossom was both furious and heartbroken, her eyes reddening with emotion.
“Damn it, Oriana has the nerve to pull this crap? We're suing her, let her rot in jail! And that guy, that... that jerk.
Okay, so he helped you out this time, but it doesn’t erase what he did to you before! We'll sue him too! They
think they're above the law? Well, they're not! I'm calling my folks right now to get us a lawyer. We're not letting
them get away with this!”
Blossom started fumbling for her phone, tears choking her voice, but Elysia stopped her,
“Wait, let's not be hasty.”
“What do you mean? You don’t want to sue them?”
Elysia sniffled, “I've already called the police. Oriana will get what's coming to her. The law will handle it.”

“And what about... the jerk?”
“I don’t want anything to do with him anymore. | want a divorce with my husband, and | want out, fast!”
Just this morning, she was all excited, making breakfast for Elijah, braving the snowstorm to deliver it to
Sunshine Community. She wasn’t in a hurry to leave anymore.
But now, she couldn’t stand to stay another second. She wanted out!
More than getting back at Oriana or dealing with the jerk, she wanted to leave now!
“But isn’t your husband refusing to divorce? He won't even meet with you. How can you divorce him? Will you
just leave without it?”
Elysia shook her head and said, “No, | need to be divorced before | go.”
“But... do you have any ideas?”
Elysia thought hard, frowning. “Keaton!”
“Huh? What's the plan?”
Elysia explained, “Oriana is his ex, and even though they're broken up, this mess started because of him. If
Jessamine finds out, she’ll tear him a new one. | can use this to talk to him... Plus, isn't he close with my
husband? I'll lay it out for him. If he can get my husband to divorce me, I'll drop today’s incident.”
Blossom pondered for a moment and said, “It sounds like it might work, but who knows if it'll be successful.”
“Success or not, we've got to try! I need this divorce, and fast!”
While Elysia was plotting her divorce, Tarquin had already arrived at the Slater family residence.
Donovan Slater was at the office when he heard Tarquin was coming, so he rushed home.
He greeted Tarquin with more warmth than he would his own father, “Tarquin, you should have toldyou were
coming; | would have waited for you at hinstead of making you wait here.”

Tarquin was cool and composed as he said, “No need. I'm here for Nola, and to check in on Gage while I'm at it.”
Donovan, an old fox, could tell something was off with Tarquin and started to panic.
He forced a smile, “Nola... Did she upset you again?”
Tarquin didn’t bite.
Donovan's eyelids twitched madly as he quickly said. “I've spoiled her rotten, to the point where she dares to
upset you! She's just taking advantage of being Elijah’s lifesaver, that’s why she’s acting so entitled around you.
Just wait until she gets back; I'll set her straight!” In criticizing Nola, Donovan was actually reminding Tarquin
that Nola was Elijah’s lifesaver.
Tarquin could read between the lines. He didn’t respond and just waited with a stern face for Nola.
Donovan swallowed nervously and reached for his phone to call Nola.
Just then, Nola arrived, bursting through the door and starting to rant.
