Chapter 27 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband
- This woman’s got a wicked sense of humor Ryan chuckled, “No rush, take your time” As Cornelia read through the documents, Ryan couldn’t help but stare at her. She was surprisingly gorgeous Ryan sighed to himself, thinking how clueless Marc was when it came to relationships. He married such a beautiful woman and still left her alone and went abroad. If he were to marry such a stunner, he wouldn’t just build her a golden house and hide her away, he’d keep her by his side every day, not giving other men a chance Now, Marc left her alone, and other men got a head start. Captivated by Cornelia’s beauty, Ryan didn’t mind the leisurely pace at which she read and relished every subtle expression that adorned her face As Cornelia perused the divorce agreement, she encountered clauses regarding the absence of shared life or assets after their marriage, aligning precisely with her intentions. She didn’t want to give away her money, nor did she want his.
- However, when she saw the part about she having to pay a hundred grand for emotiona l damages, she couldn’t help but laugh Their marriage was arranged by their elders, and they hadn’t even met in almost a year and a half. Their divorce should have been amicable, but she didn’t expect him to make such a demand. Smiling, Cornelia pushed the divorce agreement back, “Mr. Colwell, what’s with the hundred grand in emotional damages?” “You know what you’ve done, Ms. Stewart “Ryan looked at her, thinking she must be a pro in love affairs. He almost pointed out her affair, but she remained calm. Cornelia, “What did I do?” “Ms. Stewart, we both know what’s going on. If you keep pretending, don’t blame me for being rude.” Ryan pushed the divorce agreement back to Cornelia, “You have to sign th is, no matter what.” He was very firm, but Cornelia wasn’t scared. After spending six months with Marcus, she wasn’t even afraid of him, let alone Ryan She smiled and calmly responded, “If I don’t sign, what can you do to me?” Her expression didn’t change, but the pressure was felt. Ryan softened his tone, “Ms. Stewart, just sign the agreement, and we can talk about anything.”
- “Do I look stupid?” Cornelia became a little unhappy. “Tell Jeremy, if he really wants a divorce, we can set a time and bring the necessary documents to the Civil Affairs Bureau. No need for a complicated divorce ag reement. He won’t get a dime from me.” Ryan had seen all kinds of situations, but Cornelia’s transformation was not to be under estimated. For some reason, he thought of Marcus when he was angry and shivered inv oluntarily, “Wait for me for two minutes.” Ryan found a quiet corner and called Marcus. Marcus just came out of the shower, “Any problems?” Ryan said, “Marc, your wife is really beautiful!” No matter how beautiful that woman was, in Marcus’s eyes, she was just an unfaithful w ife, and he was determined to end this marriage. Marcus frowned, “Ryan, you have half an hour left.” Ryan had no choice but to tell the truth, “Your wife refuses to sign the divorce agreement.” Marcus said “She doesn’t wanna sign? Who does she think she is?” Ryan replied. “It’s not that she doesn’t wanna sign, she just doesn’t wanna pay that 100k for mental distress” Marcus could make that woman sign, but since she was introduced by his grandma, he just wanted to get rid of the disgusting woman who betrayed him as soon as possible. “Forget about the compensation” As soon as Marcus let it go, Ryan immediately had a new divorce agreement printed and handed it to Cornelia, Ms. Stewart, please have a look again.” His attitude was much better this time. After carefully reading the agreement, Cornelia signed her name and pressed her fingerprint where needed, “Is there anything else I need to do?” Seeing her actually sign, Ryan found it unbelievable, “Do you even know what your husband does?” Cornelia replied, “What does it have to do with me?” Ryan was thrilled, she really didn’t know Marcus’s identity. He would tell her the truth after their divorce and make her regret it. Ryan took the signed divorce agreement and said with a bit of schadenfreude, “Leave the rest to us, just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Jeremy to process the divorce in a month.” Cornelia knew about the one–month cooling–off period for divorce, “Alright, I’ll wait for your notice. As soon as Ryan left, Zack and Abigail rushed over, “Our Nelly is awesome, she was so calm facing someone like Ryan. The way you talked back to him felt so satisfying” Cornelia laughed, “You guys should know who I’ve been dealing with every day.” Abigail also laughed, “Does being close to Marcus make you stronger?” Zack said, “Let’s go, let’s have a good meal.”
