My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage
Chapter 123

Episode 123

Several days later, just as dawn broke, a persistent knocking roused Elizabeth from her sleep.

Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she shuffled to the door.

The urgency in the visitor’s voice immediately jolted her from her grogginess, snapping her to full alertness.

A court official stood at her doorway, papers in hand—Oliver had taken the drastic step of suing her for seizing the inheritance left by her mother.

The legal stipulations were clear.

In the absence of a definitive will, Danna’s assets were to be equally split between her spouse and her daughter upon her passing.

Danna, who hadn’t earned an income since marrying, left behind a sole possession—an old apartment encrusted with years of neglect.

“Did you receive the notice from the court?”

Without missing a beat, Elizabeth cut to the chase.

“What are you plotting now, Oliver?”
