Chapter 257 How Would You Feel If That Happened To You?
Xavier sat at the bar counter under the dim lights, helping himself to a glass of dark red liquid. His injured arm was wrapped in
bandages.
His thick eyelashes obscured the violence in his eyes.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Tanner. You can contact me if you need anything." The woman sitting in front of him handed a
name card to Xavier.
Xavier took the card. Eminent Advocates & Solicitors.
Shandra Cullen. Senior Lawyer.
Memories of the past came back.
Back then, Xavier went to the same university as Walter and Shandra.
Walter and Shandra were ace students of the law college, and they were also known to be a couple.
Their relationship lasted through all four years in college.
For some reason, they broke up after graduation. Shandra left the country, and no one knew what happened to her. Walter
drowned himself in alcohol for a period and eventually resumed his normal life.
"What a coincidence, Ms. Cullen. I happen to be in the middle of a difficult case. I've devoted my life to my wife, but my wife
wants to leave me for another man. I'm not willing to agree to the divorce. I’d like to hire you to be my lawyer for this case. You
can name your price," Xavier said.
"Mr. Tanner, you should know that you can't force someone to love you. Many women are willing to flock to you for your status,
so why would you waste your time and effort on a woman who doesn't love you?" Shandra said indifferently.
"I'm sure that you've been in love before, Ms. Cullen, and you should know how it feels to love someone. It's like seeing a cake in
a bakery's display, and you want to eat it very much, but the storekeeper tells you that the cake has been sold to someone else,
and the baker has already passed away, so there's no way that you'll be able to taste it. You're frustrated that you can't taste it,
even though you've fantasized countless times how it would taste like. One day, you find someone else eating the cake that you
have been obsessed with. How would you feel if that happened?"

Shandra smiled, took a drag of her cigarette, and elegantly blew a smoke ring. "You must be joking, Mr. Tanner. There are so
many equally delicious cakes in this world, and you can afford to pay for any of them."
Xavier glanced at Shandra and said, "Do you know who is my wife's lawyer, Ms. Cullen? His name is Walter Long, the renowned
lawyer..."
Walter Long was indeed a luminary among lawyers.
He was the lawyer in many influential cases, such as a property dispute between the CEO of a major company and his wife, the
first divorce proceedings involving billionaires in South City, and various child custody cases and property disputes among the
wealthy and influential.
He had never lost a case.
A hint of disdain flashed in Shandra's eyes when Walter's name was mentioned, though she soon resumed her composure.
"Alright, I'll take the case," Shandra said.
The woman tapped the bar counter rhythmically with her fingers, and she slowly closed her eyes.
'Walter Long, I'll take back everything that you've taken from me!'
Xavier smiled like a cunning fox.
'You want a divorce, Bianca?
'No chance in hell!'
Early next morning.
After breakfast, Luke went to the company. Jason arrived to pick up the two children, but they insisted on getting Mommy to bring
them to school.
Bianca could not bear to let her children down and agreed to bring them to school herself.
The two children went to a high-class kindergarten. Not only it taught
English, French, and German, it also emphasized on holistic development of a child's talents.

The kindergarten occupied a vast area. It included a swimming pool, several wading pools, a vegetable garden, an aviary, and
several play areas and workshops.
The children's meals were prepared by a professional nutritionist.
Luxury cars were a common sight at the front gate.
If one was lucky, they might even spot a celebrity bringing their children to school.
Bianca witnessed a scene that morning that made her feel down.
A plump boy pulled on the hem of his grandfather's shirt. "I don't wanna go to school, Grandpa, I wanna go home..." he wailed.
The old man looked at his grandson, feeling utterly embarrassed. "School is fun, right? You can have so many friends here..." he
tried to persuade the little boy.
A middle-aged mother smiled and told the old man, "You can't be too soft with them. Kids are all the same when they first go to
school. They'll eventually get used to it."
Bianca lowered her head and looked at the two children that were holding hands with her.
They were quietly observing the scene. Bianca wondered what they were thinking.
She also felt sorry for them. Were Lanie and Rainie like that on their first day of school?
She held Lanie and Rainie's hands tightly, and as they walked past the crying boy, she sighed.
The teacher of the class was a gentle woman.
When she saw Bianca bringing the children to school and found out that she was their mother, she exclaimed, "You're a beautiful
woman. No wonder your children are so good-looking."
Bianca smiled politely.
After seating the children in the classroom, Bianca did not immediately leave. Instead, she stood at the window, silently
observing their children's behavior in school.
Lanie and Rainie were very good-looking indeed. They stood out among the crowd.

Lanie was more introverted. He did not talk much in class, and he usually wore a serious face.
He sat straight and listened attentively to the teacher. Bianca thought that he looked a lot like his father.
She shook her head helplessly.
'I guess this is what people mean when they say 'Like father, like son'...'
Rainie was the cheerful and extroverted one. She was like a little celebrity.
Not only did she have good grades, but she also knew how to sing and dance. All the children in the class seemed to like her.
She was like a sun that emanated heat and warmth to the people around her...
