"So, no matter what happens, you’re going to advise me not to make the decision to divorce so easily, right?" Jeanette asked.The lawyer nodded. “I’ve never taken a lawsuit with the ill intention of just wanting to make money. Now, in my opinion, if you divorce Mr. Godfrey, it won’t be good for you in terms of asset division, Ms. Leighton. The Godfrey family is very influential, so you shouldn’t underestimate him. Ms. Leighton, you probably won't be able to get half of the assets, like normal couples do."Jeanette smiled bitterly. "Mr. Zimmermann, these issues are not my concerns at all. I have already made up my mind. I want to divorce Damon, and I don't want a single penny."Mr. Zimmermann frowned, "Ms. Leighton—""Mr. Zimmermann, you don't need to try to persuade me. I have already thought things through. I’ve been thinking about it these days. Please help me prepare a divorce agreement..."Mr. Zimmermann sighed and nodded helplessly. "Okay then. Tell me the specific commands a
It turned out that she was angry because of that. Zeke had been under the impression that it was because she did not want their relationship to be made public. It turned out that he was overthinking. He thought that Mimi was adorable for getting angry over her so-called ugly pictures."Are you that upset? I think those two pictures look quite beautiful." The expression on Zeke's face was kind and gentle. When he looked at Mimi, his expression was as sweet as honey.Mimi was still genuinely angry that the pictures did not look good enough."Of course I'm upset! What's beautiful about it? Look at this picture, it made me look so fat. Gosh! I’m too embarrassed to face everyone! Ah... Had I known that, I would’ve eaten less when I was in the hospital." She felt like crying, but Zeke thought she was cute.He sat next to her gently and put his arms around her shoulders to comfort her, "You’re not fat at all, alright? In my eyes, you’re beautiful no matter what."Mimi was stunned for a m
Zeke knew that he was not in Mimi’s heart, and he was willing to wait until the day she would accept him sincerely.Mimi noticed the apparent sadness in Zeke's eyes and felt the guilt again."Zeke… I'm sorry, I’m not…"Zeke curled his lips and smiled softly. "Don't worry, I understand. I’ll wait for you. Anyway, we have a lifetime together, right?"Mimi was taken aback for a moment and then nodded.But there was also a layer of complexity slowly spreading in her eyes.In fact, the moment when the words "a lifetime" came out of Zeke's mouth, her heart trembled. That inexplicable sense of resistance reappeared.When she thought of staying with Zeke for the rest of her life, she did not even have the feeling of anticipation at all. Instead, she had a feeling that their life would be predictable and dull. It made her feel helpless.Mimi shook her head desperately to get rid of the messy, strange thoughts in her mind.‘Mimi, how can you be so ungrateful? You have a good man who lov
"Mimi..." The assistant looked at her, distressed."Do you know? I feel a little sorry toward Zeke because I don’t feel happy when I’m with him. Even when he hugs and kisses me, I feel like hiding away. But he’s so kind to me, so I can’t tell him all this. I can only tell you about it..."Mimi sighed as the emotions in her heart were jumbled together like a mess. It made her feel mentally exhausted.The assistant took a deep breath and gently wrapped her hands around Mimi's shoulder."Mimi, I know that love can be irrational. You’ve had feelings for Elias for so long, so it’s impossible for you to forget about him so quickly. Other than being your assistant, I’m also your good friend, Mimi. In my opinion, Mr. Russo is the person that suits you the most."The assistant said, "He’s the one who can take care of you for the rest of your life and bring you happiness. So, since you’ve agreed to be with him, you mustn’t do anything that would betray Mr. Russo."Mimi nodded. "I know. I w
"Oh, Dr. Burnham, at this point, why are you still thinking about loyalty? If you don’t try to take her away, your little girlfriend will belong to somebody else, and you’ll never stand a chance ever again," Dr. Powers said.Elias did not speak. He closed his eyes and leaned on the chair. He seemed down.It seemed like he had missed his opportunity. He had been too stupid and had not understood his feelings until it was too late. Otherwise, he would not have dragged things on until now. He had
As she stood in front of the mirror, she did not look so haggard and dispirited anymore. Although she seemed pale and thinner than she was before, at least she looked somewhat like a human now.She got everything ready, turned around, and left home carrying her bag. She did not forget to take the folder with her too.…Jeanette's sudden appearance at the company took the employees by surprise.Their CEO had not come to work for quite some time. Rumors said that she had temporarily put Leight
If everything could go back to how it was, how great would that be?Those things that hurt Jeanette would never have happened. The person Damon loved in his heart would still be her. Felix would still be spending every day with his parents happily. Their family would be as perfect as it was before. If only everything could go back to where they once were.The more Jeanette thought about it, the more absurd it felt. At this point, she was still looking forward to all of that foolishly.It was impossible. After everything that had happened, she would never be able to return to how things were before. But if so, she would rather have never fallen in love with Damon. At least, her heart would not hurt so much.…Damon never expected that one day, he would receive a divorce agreement from Jeanette.When the secretary brought the folder to his office, he was still dealing with company matters with his head down.The secretary walked in with heels and put the folder on his desk. "Mr. D
Jeanette was talking in the conference room when suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door. Jeanette frowned, and everyone in the conference room looked at each other as they started talking.Jeanette put down the document in her hand a little irritably. "Ms. Lane, go out and see what’s going on outside. Why is it so noisy?""Yes, Ms. Leighton." The secretary walked out in her heels and returned to the conference room after a short while. She got closer to Jeanette's ear and said someth
