Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 834

Leah and Katie exchanged bewildered looks. "What summons?"

Snapped out of her daze, Vesta hurried over.

The document clearly stated that Axiom Flux Technologies was suing them for commercial trade secret infringement.
