The Day I Kissed An Older Man

The peaceful family reunion dinner that Adam had hoped for had gone awry. As a man, he felt he should not take offense to her outburst and decided to placate the situation. "Ahem! Mel, I admit that I shouldn't treat Lilin like that. I-"
"Come with me, Lilin. We're done with them." Melinda took Lilin's hand and prepared to leave. She had no interest in listening to Adam's feeble attempt at salvaging the situation.
Lilin nodded and stood up with her mother.
When Melinda and Lilin were about to leave, Sophia could not hide her smile. That was the outcome she had long hoped to achieve!

Mothers receive preferential treatment in the eyes of the court."
Sophia could no longer maintain her smile. She never expected that a pushover like Melinda would one day be that assertive. "So, you've "

I don't need the money, and I don't care about your father's wealth either. I'm only fighting for half his property for Lilin's name. When I win and receive that half, I'm going to donate it all to charity in Lilin's name. I'd rather donate it than see you inherit everything."

"Oh, quit acting, will you?" Melinda interrupted once more. "Acting as if you're a miserable little kitten is not going to help you, I'll file a divorcem petition in Molomia's court as soon as possible, and he can't transfer his assets to you even if he wants to. Your father will no longer have the authority to decide on matters
relating to the distribution of the
property until our divorce is finalized."
