Chapter 2 True Colours

  • After signing the agreement, Halie removed her glasses and let down her tightly coiled hair.
  • At this moment, her long, black hair cascaded down, complementing her delicate, oval face. No matter how one looked at it, she was undeniably a stunning beauty.
  • Her face no longer appeared as rigid and emotionless as before. Her clear, glass-like eyes now radiated brilliance.
  • Finally.
  • She could leave this place.
  • Halie didn't linger any longer thinking about this. She stood up, changed her clothes, and left the old, stiff outfit lying on the bed. Now, she had changed into a light yellow dress and high heels, looking tall and elegant.
  • She picked a few favourite clothes, packed her things quickly, and wheeled her suitcase out.
  • At that moment, Eva was tidying up. When she saw Halie coming downstairs, she looked at her as if she were a stranger. Is this Mrs. Robson?
  • The current Halie is entirely different from before.
  • Halie walked up to Eva with a smile. "Eva!"
  • "Mrs ... Mrs. Robson!" Eva was taken aback. It took a while for her to find her voice. If Halie hadn't spoken, Eva would have thought there was another person in the house.
  • Halie beamed and said, "I divorced Austin today. I'm moving out now. Thank you for taking care of me all these years." She nodded to Eva.
  • "No, no, it was my duty to take care of you. But are you really leaving?" Eva asked, astonished.
  • Halie nodded. She had put on light makeup on her face, which made her look incredibly delicate. "Yes!"
  • "If ... if Mr. Austin saw this side of you, he might not want to divorce." Eva said, looking at Halie.
  • Halie chuckled and said, "Eva, keep this a secret for me!"
  • She had been plotting all these things because she didn't want Austin to know.
  • Finally, Eva could only nod and say, "Alright, take good care of yourself!"
  • "I will, you too!" Halie replied, reaching out to embrace Eva. The housekeeper had taken care of her meticulously, just like her own mother. She was very grateful for this kindness.
  • "Alright, Eva, I'm leaving!"
  • "Let me see you off."
  • "No need; I called a cab. It's late; you should get some rest!" Halie said.
  • In the end, Eva nodded, seeing Halie at the door. Halie glanced at the old, stiff suit in her hand before tossing it straight into the trash can.
  • Finally, she could say goodbye to all this.
  • Halie got into the cab, and it drove away. Eva couldn't help but sighed. If Mr. Austin saw Ms. Lane's new look, he would surely regret it.
  • At the airport, Halie wheeled her luggage. She looked back at the dazzling night view of Atrila. Goodbye, Atrila!
  • Goodbye, past life!
  • Then, without looking back, she walked towards the security checkpoint.
