Chapter 91: Divorced Michael's face darkened at her harsh words.
1/5 He called Ethan right away, putting it on speaker so Chloe could hear their conversation too.
"Mr. Shawn, during your video call today, you accidentally played a voice message from Mrs. Shawn. Everyone at the office heard it, which caused the misunderstanding." "Before the meeting, Ms. Campbell didn't deny your relationship, so everyone assumed she was the other woman." Michael was caught off guard.
He never imagined he'd be the reason Lucy got misunderstood.
He didn't remember much from the meeting today, except for one thing: Chloe and Quinn's photo.
Seeing his face turn ashen, Chloe just laughed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Mr. Shawn, you can't blme for this. It's your actions that made people misunderstand Lucy, not mine." Chloe thought, "Why should I clean up this mess he made? It's his problem, not mine." Michael had enough. He hung up the phone.
Chapter 91: Divorced Chloe scoffed, "You got yourself into this mess. Handle it on your own." "Everyone's been chatting about it. Just clear things up, and you're good." 2/5 Michael pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a bit exasperated.
He wanted to clear things up, but if he was the only one explaining, it would just make his coworkers more convinced there was something going on between him and Lucy. Lucy is crucial to this project, so nothing can go wrong.
Looks like Chloe's the only one who can handle this.
"Why should I? What's in it forif I help her explain?" Michael hated when she talked like that.
They're a married couple. Now, there's a misunderstanding between them. Even if she gains nothing from it, she should step up and clear things up. "Are you really that shallow?" She wanted a divorce for the money, and now she's after more benefits.
Chloe didn't bother denying it. She nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm that shallow. But I'll make you a deal. Divorce me, and I'll help Chapter 91: Divorced clear your name." 3/5 She was worried she couldn't find a reason to make him divorce her, but he just handed her one on a silver platter.
Michael was speechless, rage boiling inside him.
"Do you really want to divorce me?" "It's all up to you." She laid out the terms. Now, it's all up to his choice.
"Fine, I agree to the divorce. Let's file the papers at the courthouse tomorrow." Michael was fuming, and that's why he blurted out those words in the heat of the moment.
He thought Chloe would at least show sregret. Instead, she smiled, walked to the living room drawer, and pulled out a stack of papers. "You can sign now." He glanced down, and there it was in bold letters: Divorce Agreement.
Turns out, she had already drafted a new divorce agreement, just waiting for his approval.
Michael's chest tightened with an inexplicable, growing Chapter 91: Divorced agitation.
4/5 "Don't worry, the terms are exactly what we agreed on before. I'm not asking for a penny more. If you don't believe me, feel free to check." She only wanted Apricot Manor, Wendy's villa, and half of their shared assets.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMichael's chest heaved with fury. In one swift motion, he tore the agreement before him into shreds.
"I need to rewrite the deal." Chloe shrugged. "No problem." As long as they get divorced, it doesn't matter who drafts the agreement.
He spun around and stormed upstairs. Chloe figured he was off to draft a new contract.
The living room fell silent, leaving Chloe alone. She sank into sank into the couch, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over her. Her earlier calmness was completely drained now.
A deep sense of helplessness welled up within her.
Turns out, Lucy was still his number one.
Even when she threatened divorce to force him to clear things Chapter 91: Divorced 5/5
up, he still chose to compromise, all for the sake of giving Lucy a so-called clean slate.
They had been entangled for so long, m and he refused to sign no matter what. But now, just one call from Lucy, and he agreed without hesitation. Chloe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. X
