Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2186

Elliot replied, "The assault and the broken arm are facts that can be used as evidence for divorce. If you insist, you'll likely get a divorce, but custody is another matter."

Sheena added her analysis, "Callum grew up with the Nicholls family. If this goes to court, it won't be as straightforward. The easiest way to get custody is to prove Nathaniel has violent tendencies and is unfit to raise a child."

Dylan pointed to his broken arm and quickly chimed in, "Isn't this the perfect proof of his violent tendencies?"

Elliot shook his head. "Not if you settle, and since you struck first, it can't be used as evidence."

Dylan grew anxious and asked, "What can we do? Mae carried that baby for months, and now he's just going to be a Nicholls? Will she have to ask permission just to see her own child?"

He continued ranting, "It's so unfair. He let Mae down, and now he gets to keep their son? Mae gave him her best years, suffered so much during her pregnancy and labor, and yet she can't even raise him?"

Mavis lowered her eyes, hiding her sadness as she fell silent.

The entire room grew quiet.

After a while, Sheena spoke up, "Mae, does Callum know about the divorce? Would he want to live with you? Though he's young and his preference isn't decisive, the court will consider his wishes."

Mavis's expression darkened further. "He was willing at first, but after Nathaniel stopped us at the airport, I asked him again, and he suddenly changed his mind."

Dylan immediately defended her, "That ungrateful kid! A few years with the Nicholls, and he's turning his back on his own mother?"

Sheena explained on Callum's behalf, "He's only five. The Nicholls treated him well, grooming him as their future heir. It's the environment he knows best, surrounded by familiar faces. It's understandable if he's hesitant to leave. Moving to a strange country without anyone he knows would be scary for a child his age."

Mavis nodded and agreed, "I understand. I don't blame him. I just feel guilty for missing the first five years of his life."

Sheena comforted her, "You didn't miss it entirely. I've been sending you videos regularly. You've witnessed every moment of Callum's growth."

"I'll ask Callum's opinion again. If he insists on staying with Nathaniel and the Nicholls family, I'll respect his wishes. I can give up custody," she said.

Sheena sighed, "Mae, from what I know, Nathaniel has been devoted to Callum and his work these past few years. He hasn't been involved with anyone else. If he's really changed and is committed to the family now, would you consider giving him another chance?"

Mavis was stunned by Sheena's sudden question, unable to answer immediately.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

It was the same National Investigation Bureau officer.

"Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Nicholls is still waiting in the hallway. He won't leave," the officer reported, "He's asking to see Ms. Olsen and the victim. His leg is in a cast, he's in a wheelchair, and his hand is injured too. Maybe there's more to this story. Would you like to hear his side of things?"
