Chapter 321
“Sh*t!” Abellyn felt like a mouse encountering a cat upon seeing the lawyer
and even considered hiding for a moment.
Jayden Castro is a renowned lawyer in the industry. If he’s representing Ryder
in the lawsuit, he’ll surely win. By then, all my crimes will be exposed, and the
whole city will know! What should I do?
However, before she could hide, she overheard Jayden’s conversation with
Emmanuel. “Mr. Lowe, Ms. Quillen asked me to discuss the divorce matters
with you!”
What? A divorce? Abellyn grinned with a hint of schadenfreude after
recovering from the shock.
She had always thought that Emmanuel was reaching for the stars by
marrying Mackenzie.
It wasn’t that Emmanuel wasn’t good–looking, but why should a penniless
guy like him get to marry a rich and beautiful woman like Mackenzie? Alas,
the mismatched marriage had ultimately fallen apart. However, she didn’t
expect it to end in less than two months!
Emmanuel was also taken aback. He was evidently upset, but he didn’t react
too intensely. He only nodded with a touch of sadness.
“Here, take a look at this document. If there are no objections, we will proceed
accordingly,” said Jayden as he handed the divorce agreement to
Emmanuel, who felt hurt.
Though he knew from the get–go that this marriage was just a show to
deceive their families and it would eventually end, he still had a hard time
taking it all in when he looked at the legal document. In fact, his heart
twinged.
However, thinking about how cold–hearted Mackenzie could be, he also felt
angry. It was one thing for a woman to have a temper, but Mackenzie took it
too far. She unilaterally insisted on divorcing without any discussion, showing
a lack of respect for him.
Fine, if she wants a divorce, then we’ll get a divorce! At that, Emmanuel said
to the lawyer, “I agree to the divorce, Mr. Castro, but I won’t sign this
agreement.”
Jayden seemed to have seen it coming, and he adjusted his glasses before
smiling and asking, “Feel free to name further conditions, Mr. Lowe. I will relay
them to Ms. Quillen.”
Abellyn, who was watching from behind, sneered disdainfully. Hmph, so
much for being honest and benign. That Emmanuel’s also nothing but a toy
boy! He’s even more shameless than me, all hypocritical and pretentious! He
only married Mackenzie for her money, didn’t he? He’s certainly dissatisfied
with the divorce settlement like me and wants to demand more!
“Please tell Ms. Quillen that I don’t want anything from her. Since she has
decided to divorce, I’ll simply sign the papers!” Emmanuel said calmly,
shocking Abellyn.
What’s going on? Is Emmanuel not a toy boy? Didn’t he marry Mackenzie for
her money? Did he purely desire her beauty?
Jayden, too, was stumped, taking quite a moment before coming to himself.
“Ms. Quillen willingly gave you the house and the car, Mr. Lowe, which
together are worth several million. Are you really not interested?”
“I don’t want them. Since we’re getting a divorce, that’ll make her and I
strangers, and I won’t take things from a stranger!” Emmanuel said, then
turned to leave.
