Chapter 795 It Was Signed Long Ago
The same items were still in the box. Josie checked them one by one, only breathing a sigh
of relief once she confirmed everything was in order. It wasn’t until she got to the very
bottom that she found a thin document tucked away. It was the same size as the box and
could easily have been overlooked.
Josie furrowed her brows, attempting to pick it up. It was a document consisting of only a
few pages, densely packed with words. She brought it closer, puzzled. The glaring bold
letters made her frown deepen.
It was a divorce agreement!
It was Dexter’s and her divorce agreement. The wording was meticulous, clearly drafted
by a renowned lawyer, detailing the division of assets between the two after the divorce.
Josie flipped through the pages one by one. Clearly, this divorce agreement was different
from the one Xanthe had initially given her. This one was more… tolerable. It stated that
after the divorce, Dexter would grant Josie an eight-figure sum, as well as several estates
abroad. She would also receive one percent of Russell Group’s shares.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was no longer tolerance-it was generosity.
Josie was puzzled. She had never seen this divorce agreement before, so how did it end up
in Paul’s box?
She turned to the last page, and there, boldly written at the signature line of the man’s
side, were two dried-out words: Dexter Russell.
His pen strokes were firm and difficult for others to imitate. And at the end of his signature
was the official stamp of Russell Group.
Josie instinctively took a step back, clutching the paper tightly. It was a divorce agreement
signed by
Dexter!
It was unclear whether it was due to Paul’s improper storage, but the edges of the paper
had started to yellow. This indicated that the agreement had been in existence for quite
some time. But exactly when was this made?
Josie dared not think about it.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to react. Should she be happy? This legally binding
agreement could help her get a divorce and secure her future.
Or should she be upset, as it meant that the man had been contemplating divorce for a
while now?
From outside came the steady sound of footsteps. Dexter, having taken a bath, didn’t see
Josie anywhere. He walked to the staircase and gently called out, “Josie?”
The sound echoed through the empty house.
No one responded.”
Dexter saw that the light was on, so step by step, he walked to the bedroom door of Paul.
His voice was cold. “What are you doing here?”
Josie didn’t look back. She simply lowered her head to rearrange the items. Only then did
she slowly turn. around, her face weary.

Dexter’s brows furrowed tightly, his gaze falling on the pieces of paper she was gripping in
her hand. He had a bad feeling about this.
“Josic.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSilence ensued.
She lifted the papers, her smile tinged with bitterness. “Perhaps I should thank Paul. In
such difficult times, he managed to preserve some benefits for me.”
When Dexter saw the title of the document, his expression changed drastically. He
reached out, attempting to snatch it, but Josie dodged his
grasp.
“You’ve been good to me. Dexter.” Josie took out a pen from her pocket, the tip hovering
above the paper. “To have gained so much from being your wife for two years is an honor.”
“Josie! This agreement is unenforceable!” In an instant, Dexter felt a severe sense of loss,
as if he was about to lose her in the truest sense in the next second.
“I understand that Russell Group’s stamp is not to be used lightly,” Josie said, carefully
signing her name on it. “But I don’t want any of the things written here. Things have come
to this point, and I’ve already let you down. Leaving you is what I should do.”
Dexter acted as if he hadn’t heard her, stepping forward to snatch the pen from her. But it
was already too late; she had already signed it.
He pressed down on the back of her hand. “There should be two copies of the divorce
agreement. You merely signed one so it’s unenforceable.”
