No Mercy, No Forgiveness

Geoffrey answered without hesitation. “Correct.”

Katherine didn’t expect Geoffrey to admit it just like that. She continued asking: “My client and

you have always been in a marriage of convenience. Because my client's father died, you didn’t get the property

agreed upon in the marriage arrangement, so you flew into a rage. Not only did you hurt my client physically and

mentally, but you also secretly suppressed Ramirez Enterprises and acquired Ramirez, right?”

“Yes.”

Geoffrey's gaze never left Maureen.

He knew those things were his fault. He admitted it.

He shouldn't have blamed her for the wrongs done by Maureen’s mother and brother.

“Mr. Sutton, my client has been separated from you for over five years, right?”

Geoffrey was silent for a moment. “Yes.

Katherine finished all the questions she had to ask. “Your Honor, I'm done. Everyone should have understood,

right?

Geoffrey and my client have always been in a marriage of convenience. There was never any emotional

foundation between them.

And Geoffrey's actions are appalling. He's totally unworthy of being a husband.”

“In the documents | submitted, there are also records of my client Maureen's hospital visits after marriage:

severe depression, worsening hearing loss, and so on.”

Katherine's forehead was covered in fine sweat. After saying everything, she returned to Maureen's side.

Maureen had thought that with things like this, Tyler would surely lose the case. To her surprise, he remained

extraordinarily composed.

When presenting evidence, he stepped forward unhurriedly: “Your Honor, the evidence opposing counsel

provided concerns events from five years ago. It fails to prove my client Mr

Sutton and their principal Ms. Ramirez lacked an emotional foundation.”

“Nor does it prove they've been separated for five years!”

After speaking, he submitted a set of documented proofs.

“These demonstrate interactions between my client Mr. Sutton and their principal Ms. Ramirez over the past six

months.”

“Legally recognized separation shouldn't include occasions where parties intermittently reside in each other's

homes, correct?”

“Ms. Ramirez, during this period, you've engaged in marital relations with my client multiple times. Isn't that

right?”

Maureen's heart clenched violently. When she glanced at Geoffrey, her eyes reddened at the

corners.

Geoffrey hadn't expected Tyler to be so blunt. He cleared his throat softly, prompting Tyler to halt his aggressive

questioning.

Maureen forced herself to stay calm. From a distance, she could see the evidence consisted of photographs,

though their contents remained unclear.

Tyler handed her a stack of photos-images from the past, capturing moments she’d lured Geoffrey into for the

sake of conceiving.

Her mind went blank. Hanging at her sides, her hands clenched into fists.

She never imagined this would backfire, nor that Geoffrey still possessed these photos.

Katherine gave her a reassuring look. At worst, these photos could only prove emotional attachment to the court.

But among divorce prerequisites was domestic violence-Geoffrey’s emotional neglect qualified.

Yet the next second, Tyler dismissed the emotional abuse claim.

“Your Honor,” he addressed the judge, “the opposing counsel accuses my client of emotional abuse. But how

does one define such abuse?”

“Is there any medical diagnosis to substantiate it?”

His icy gaze swept toward Katherine, cold and detached as if she were a stranger.

Katherine instinctively averted her eyes when their glances met.

Tyler stepped closer. “Attorney White, do you have hospital records confirming this diagnosis?”

His proximity made Katherine's breath hitch.

She trembled: “Isn’t severe depression the best proof?”

Tyler withdrew his gaze and continued: “As | understand, depression stems from five primary causes: first,

genetic predisposition; second, illness and health issues; third, substance and alcohol abuse; fourth, personality

factors; and fifth, social or external influences.

“Ms. White, how can you assert your client’s depression resulted from my client?”

Tyler produced evidence: “These documents show Ms. Ramirez began heavy drinking two years into her

marriage. Her mother, Ms. Noelle Davey-a renowned dance scholar-underwent psychiatric evaluation confirming

minor mental disorders. Ms. Ramirez herself was born with hearing impairment.”

“This demonstrates her depression relates to my first, second, and third points, not my client.”

Katherine never imagined her ex could stoop so low.

She snapped: “That's quibbling!”

“If it’s quibbling, Ms. White, present your counterevidence.”

Tyler stared coldly at her.

Katherine lost control: “Tyler, you bastard! You'd do anything for money-"

“Order! Order!”

The presiding judge adjourned the session due to Katherine's sudden emotional outburst.

Had Maureen not held her back, Katherine would have pounced on Tyler to rip his lying mouth apart.

After the recess, Katherine couldn't stop apologizing in the lounge.

“I'm so sorry, Reenie. This is all my fault. | never imagined Tyler would be opposing counsel- 1 completely lost

my composure.”

Moreover, Tyler was Capital City’s top lawyer, rumored to have lost only one case.

This divorce case would be a piece of cake for him.
