Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 852

A very brief encounter.

Like a gust of wind passing through the night.

It blew past, and then it was gone.

Even though she had gone to sleep late, Claire woke up bright and early. She dressed up nicely and stepped out looking radiant.

Destination: city hall!

When Claire arrived, she noticed it was exceptionally crowded today.

Even though she was early, there was already a line.

Clearly, the divorce rate was skyrocketing.

Claire went to pull a queue ticket.

The clerk asked her, "Marriage or divorce?"

"Divorce."

The clerk pointed to the other side. "No need to wait in line for a divorce. You can head straight over."

She glanced over at the divorce counters and saw there was hardly anyone there.

The massive crowd was entirely for marriage registrations.

Curious, she asked a couple waiting in line and found out today was October 10th—the tenth day of the tenth month, symbolizing perfection.

It was a highly auspicious date.

That explained why so many couples were lined up to tie the knot.

Weren't people saying the marriage rate was dropping every year?

Looking at this crowd, there were still plenty of people eager to jump in.

Processing a divorce didn't require waiting in line, but it did require both parties to be present.

And Felix wasn't here yet.

Claire checked the time. It was 9:00 AM. A bit early.

She'd just wait another hour.

She found a seat, pulled out her phone, and started a round of a mobile game.

Before she could even finish a single match, her manager sent a message: "Check the trending topics! Madeline got exposed as a homewrecker! It's so satisfying!"

For such a thrilling piece of news, Claire absolutely had to join the spectacle.
