MGN | Chapter 21
The contract was filled with signatures on every page, as if guaranteeing the listed terms. It was no different from the final prenuptial agreement Maël had sent last. Except for one thing. The name of the contractor was written above Manon's childishly round signature. Maël bit his lip and opened his phone. He checked the attachments in the last email he sent to the Grand Duke's legal team. The contract appeared on the screen. After fumbling a few times with trembling hands, Maël finally…-

"Sir, you're still not off work?" "You're working on a Saturday too, Jacques." "True, but on a day like today?" "Because of the Brezo case jurisdiction for the divorce. I have to have a meeting with the U.S. side. Once that's done, I'll head out." "Oh, the couple who got married in Singapore without a prenup? The wife wants to proceed in New York, and the client wants it here, right?" "Yes." "I heard about it. The argument that since the wife's shoe collection is all here, the divorce…-

After precisely calculating the consultation fee, Maël got out of the car. It wasn't because the offered conditions were lacking; he just disliked lies and fakes. Such a typical, laughable thing to say. "Ha." A sudden chuckle escaped. Yves's car remained still, trying to contain the rising irritation. Meanwhile, Maël, standing against the backdrop of the bright yellow submarine and ticket booth in front of the oceanographic museum, knocked on the window. Knock, knock. When Yves lowered the…-

"No need to argue. You even asked me to join you right away. Aren't I a parvenu too?" "That's... Maël, you're different from that guy. What are you trying to say?" Charles, who had flinched at Maël's outburst, stammered belatedly. "Different, sure. I didn't buy shares in the Riviera Hotel with my own money. It's all thanks to Manon." Charles leaned in, squinting his eyes and raising his eyebrows. Maël could predict the tone and words that would follow. A clumsy attempt at…-

The sound of heels echoed through the corridor. Even without turning my head, I recognized the voice and the rose scent that grew stronger with each step. Until the man stood right in front of me, I said nothing. Yves Valois, in his monochrome attire, didn't match the overly bright family portrait behind him. "You curse well when you're alone." I didn't even want to look up, so I stared at my toes. Only when it felt like it wouldn't be considered ignoring him did I lift my head and offer a formal…-

The day was clear. My younger sister, dressed in the beige tweed skirt suit Philippe had gifted her, looked pale. She didn't look like she'd slept at all. They say even pregnant women can have a cup of coffee, but Manon stubbornly refused even a sip. As I spread butter and strawberry jam on her toast, I said, "Are you nervous? A lot of people feel that way. Don't worry." "I've been throwing up and couldn't sleep a wink. I'm out of it." "Take some morning sickness medicine now. You can sleep in the…-

Manon yawned as she entered the foyer. Maël, who was tapping away on his laptop with a pile of documents on the table, took off his glasses. “Oppa, have this while you work.” Manon, arriving after dinner time, placed a dessert box at the end of the table. As she untied the cross-shaped ribbon, the sky-blue box opened to reveal colorful desserts. She handed Maël a cream puff and yawned again before asking. “How are things with Charles these days?” She tried to ask casually, but Manon…-

Fortunately, there was no need to step in and correct a huge misunderstanding. The waiter, who had to bring the bill, approached and gently asked. “Sir, as per your reservation request, today's meal has already been charged to the card number you provided. Is that okay?” “Oh... I forgot about that.” “Did you enjoy your meal?” “It was really delicious. Thank you.” The conversation ended briefly. However, even though he didn't have to pay over a thousand euros for a meal he…-

A wrinkled hand briefly touched Maël's jacket and then withdrew. “Lawyer Montmatier.” “Oh, hello, Lawyer Bernardi.” “What brings you to invite me for a meal at a place like this? Getting a reservation at Le Louis couldn’t have been easy.” Maël looked at the lawyer, who resembled an old owl. While swallowing his surprise, Thierry Bernardi, the advisor to the Monaco Grand Palace and President of the Monaco Bar Association, confidently entered Le Louis through the white arched…-
