Chapter 150 Letâs Get a Divorce
Darlene pulled her hand back with a cold expression. Just as she was about to grab the phone on the
bedside table, Avery took the phone and placed it on the table beside him.
The door to the ward was tightly shut. Gustave had just gone out, and the doctor had just come to put
her on a drip. It was likely that no one would come over for a while.
Ever since the relapse of her depression, Darlene was afraid to face Avery, especially when they were
so close.
She didnât know why, but it was the rejection and fear deep down.
She gripped the bed sheet beneath her and tried her best to suppress the urge to retreat. She forced
herself to calm down and looked at him coldly.
âWhat are you trying to do? Is what just happened not enough?â
Avery sat down on the edge of the bed beside her and stared at her. âThe reporters in the morning are
not the first to report these things.
âThe relationship between you and Gustave was exposed on the Internet last night. Now that the
Walpole Group has had a public crisis, Gustave and you probably donât know
yet.â
If they knew, Gustave wouldnât have brought Darlene to the company in the morning.
Darlene gripped the sheets tightly.
She hated him so much. Many times, she couldnât help but want to question him at the top of her lungs.
What do you want? What can make you satisfied and let me go?
But she endured it and didnât want to show any emotions in front of him. Whether she
was angry or hateful, she didnât want him to see it.
Her expression was so calm. She looked at him coldly. âAnd then? What do you want me to say? Say
that you have tried so hard. Congratulations on getting what you want. You have successfully earned
sympathy in front of the public?â
Avery did not believe that Darlene would not react. He only thought that she had not heard it clearly
enough. He continued in a low voice, âGustave is now the CEO of the Walpole Group. The negative
public opinions affected his reputation and the Walpole Groupâs reputation very soon.
âTherefore, Mr. Walpole, his father, had already made a preliminary decision. He
planned to help the Walpole Groupâs vice CEO, Ricky Walpole, to replace Gustave as the new CEO in
case the public opinions would further affect the Walpole Groupâs share price and other benefits.â
He could not control himself. He wanted to persuade Darlene to leave Gustave. âThe cooperation that
you have discussed with Braylen is already invalid. Because the cooperation that I have terminated with
the Walpole Group has been restarted. This time, it is a contract signed with Ricky.
âHis cousin, Ricky, had solved the trouble that Gustave caused, so the new president would soon
become Ricky.â
Avery looked at Darlene with reddened eyes. He was tense and worried.
He was afraid that if he was not careful, his words would hurt Darlene.
Another voice constantly reminded him to tell Darlene all the advantages and disadvantages so that she
would definitely come back to him as she didnât want to be at burden on Gustave anymore.
How could Avery really let her stay by another manâs side during the last period of her
life?
He couldnât do it. Since he couldnât force Darlene to stay by his side, he would let Darlene see clearly
what the consequences would be if Gustave took her away.
He wanted Darlene to understand and willingly return to his side.
He could stay with her to treat her illness and find a compatible heart for her. If she was dying, he could
stay with her until the last moment of her life.
But he couldnât let her go.
If she left him, what was the point of giving in and compensating?
âWe can explain it to the media. As for the Walpole Group replacing the president, it canât be that simple.â
Darlene stared at him in disgust.
âI believe Mr. Walpole must have a way to solve it. In any case, I wonât go back to I have no other choice,
then Iâll die earlyâ¦â
Avery interrupted her and asked in a deep voice, âThereâs no point in saying these
you.
If
things out of spite. What can you explain to the media?
âWe are still a legal couple. Just based on this, no matter how many reasons you have with Gustave, you
canât hide the fact that you have an affair.
âThen weâll divorce. I will soon sue you in court and divorce you.â Darlene did not hesitate for a moment.
She looked at him and said with certainty.
She reached for the bag by the bed and took out a divorce agreement.
âAvery, I have already prepared it. Sign it, and I will leave you without taking anything from you, or we will
see each other in court.
âIf the court does not let us divorce, I will appeal for the second time. If we still canât divorce, I will appeal
for the third time. As long as I donât give up, and I volunteer to leave you without taking anything, weâll
divorce one day.â
Avery took the thing from her hand and looked at it with a gloomy face. It was really a
divorce agreement.
It had only been two days since she went to Gustaveâs house, and she had prepared this. Now, she
stopped mentioning her grandmother and brother.
He held the document tightly in his hand, and his anger surged. He directly tore it in half and threw it to
the side.
âGustave taught you this? It seems that he really taught you a lot in the past two days, making you so
determined to cut off all ties with me.â
Darlene sneered and looked at the pile of pieces scattered on the ground. âItâs fine. I still
have a lot of copies.
âI have already decided to cut off all ties with you. You know best what we are like right now. I only have
a few days left. Let me be alone for the last period of time. Donât get yourself involved.â
Avery held her shoulder tightly with one hand and stared at her. âDonât even think about it. I wonât divorce
you, let alone let Gustave get what he wants.â
Darlene shifted her gaze to the side. She did not even bother to argue. âUp to you. After a few days, it
will be completed. If I am still alive, we will meet in court.
âIf I was already dead, then consider it my bad luck. You can do whatever you want with
my corpse.â
Avery grabbed her shoulder with his palm. He wanted to grab her more tightly, but he realized that he
had no strength.
His heart was filled with powerlessness. He wanted to keep her, but now, he realized that no matter what
method he used, it was useless. He did not know what else he could
1. do.
âDarlene, I donât want to force you anymore. I donât want to do those things anymore.â He shook his
head.
âCome back to me. I will take good care of your grandmother and your brother. I will take good care of
you. As long as you come back, nothing will happen to Gustave. The reports and the things that
happened to the Walpole Group will be stopped.â
Darlene looked at him with indifference in her eyes. âAvery, divorce or see me in court. Other than that, I
donât want to say another word to you from now on.â
As soon as she finished speaking, she had already pressed the call bell as Avery didnât
notice it.
