Chapter 176 Divorce (2)

Archie took a few seconds to regain his senses. “What do you mean? What fake marriage? What doyou mean by divorce?”

“This was something Mr. Knight and I agreed beforehand,” Alice explained, shedding light oneverything.

“You agreed with him beforehand? Did he say that this marriage is fake? He said that you will divorceeventually?” His voice trembled with confusion. “H–He said that?”

“Yes,” Alice replied without offering further explanation. Although she signed the agreement with Rosy,it was Ethan’s intention as well.

Instantly, Archie fell silent. He felt that something was off about this matter, but since he hadn’tinteracted with Ethan and didn’t know him well, he couldn’t assert himself.

Although the Knight Family’s way of doing things seemed like bullying, he understood Alice too well. Ifshe didn’t want to do something, no one could force her. Trying to bully her wasn’t an easy task.

“So, what gives him the right? It’s a fake marriage, and you’re going to divorce soon, so what gives himthe right?” Since they had agreed on a fake marriage, what made him think he had such authority?“What gives him the right to plead for you?” It was obvious that this question was what he was mostconcerned about–what gaye Ethan the right to plead for his beloved Alice?

“What? Just because he’s Ethan Knight, or just because he’s from the Knight Family? Does he think heintimidates me?” His frustration was evident in his words.

Alice, being a smart person, remained silent at this moment. She never expected Ethan to approachArchie to plead on her behalf. Her original plan was to leave the Knight Family after this matter was

resolved. Once she left the Knight Family, her actions wouldn’t affect them anymore. This was why shehad implemented this plan.

“He even threatened me and said that if I didn’t agree to his request, he would turn Galerprises into theKnight Family’s property. How dare he threaten me?” Archie vented his frustration over the phone sincehe couldn’t see Alice.

When she heard that, a faint wave of surprise flicker appeared in her eyes. Ethan actually threatenedArchie like that? It’s not quite his style of doing things.

“He also said that I could propose any condition I want. What nonsense conditions does he think I careabout?” Archie grew more and more indignant as he spoke. However, his words suddenly came to ahalt.

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke again, his voice noticeably softer. “I wonder what conditionshe will agree to. Honestly, I’m quite curious. Alice, how about I agree to his request? After all, this is justa game for us. I wasn’t going to investigate you in the first place. I can go with the flow and agree to hisrequest since he said that I could propose any condition I want.” After his anger subsided, he felt it wastime to consider some practical matters.

“It’s up to you. As long as you’re not afraid that he will come after you one day when he replaces out thetruth.” Although Alice didn’t say much, her reminder was obvious.

“What can he do if he replaces out? His request was for me not to investigate you, and I definitely won’t.So, I have already fulfilled his request. Even if he discovers something one day, there won’t be anyissues.” Archie felt it would be a great pity to let go of such a good opportunity. “Besides, I still have togive him a reply later. I can’t just tell him that I don’t agree.” His reasoning was quite difficult to refute. “Ithink we can keep this condition in reserve. If we don’t need it, we can forget about it. But who knows, itmight come in

handy someday.” He was quite the mastermind behind his schemes.

“It’s up to you to decide.” She understood his intention from his words and didn’t say much further.

“Alright.” He readily agreed, feeling relieved. However, after a moment of silence, he couldn’t hold hiscuriosity in anymore. “When will you divorce him, then?”

“My plan is to divorce him after this plan is executed. I will move out from the Knight Residence afterthat.” This was my plan all along.

“So soon? Are you saying you are going to divorce now?” Archie was taken aback. Isn’t this divorce toosoon! I’ve just learned that they are married, and they are considering divorce.

“Yes,” she replied softly. “But I still need to have a proper conversation with Caroline and then clarifythings with Mr. Knight before proceeding with the divorce.”

Her plan is quite well thought out. Suddenly, he felt that everything was rather fishy and poking hiscuriosity “Your plan sounds good, but will Mr. Knight agree to it?”

“Of course, he will. That was what we agreed on, and it was his idea in the first place,” she repliednaturall because she was just speaking her mind.

“Okay then. I won’t meddle in this. I can’t anyway, so you handle it yourself.” He inwardly sighed. Thishas clearly gone out of my league. There’s no need for me to worry about it. “Well then, I’ll hang upnow. I should` take care of that important matter first.” Since Alice is about to divorce Ethan soon,shouldn’t I quickly agree to h:

go

request?

After ending the call with Alice, Archie retrieved the number that Ethan had called from and dialedback.

The phone rang once, and before the second ring, the call was answered. This surprised Archie. Wow,he’s fast.

“Mr. Knight, I’ve considered it, and I agree to your request. I won’t investigate Alice any further.” He hadthought about what he needed to say before making the call, so his words came out smoothly.

On the other side of the phone, Ethan was slightly stunned but then replied lightly, “Alright.”

“That settles it, then. There is no need for compensation. You mentioned that I could propose anycondition, but I don’t have anything specific in mind now. I’ll tell you when something pops up in thefuture. How does that sound?” His idea was well thought out, indeed. “Of course, you can rest assuredthat any conditions I propose will not violate the law or ethics, harm others, or involve any unscrupulousacts.”

Hearing that, Ethan furrowed his brows slightly but still agreed. “Okay.”

“Alright, that’s settled. Pleasure doing business with you.” Archie hung up the phone, feeling satisfied.

On the other hand, Ethan looked at the phone in his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Archie agreedjust like that?” Something seems off about this.

When Caleb heard Ethan’s words, he was shocked. “There’s no reason for him not to agree, Mr.Knight. This is not a bad deal for Galerprises. Investigating Young Madam Knight wouldn’t benefitthem. Moreover, the conditions you just proposed are impossible for anyone to refuse. Even if youhadn’t mentioned those conditions, he would have agreed out of respect for you.”
