Ashlyn pondered possible solutions to the puzzle Kiba has given to her.

From the information he has shared, it was evident the man in puzzle didn't want to reconcile with his wife. So a separation was obvious but the question was how without losing children and assets in a divorce while also taking revenge on his wife and his best friend.
