Chapter 1227
âMade up your mind?â
Marcus looked up, his icy stare finally landing on her face, his voice chilly as he spoke. He didnât bother with any false pretense asking why she suddenly wanted a divorce, instead, it seemed as though he had been waiting for her to make such a decision.
âIâve made up my mind Cornelia replied
Marcus picked up the divorce agreement, casually flipping through it, and asked, âYou donât want anything?â
âAs your assistant, Iâve been around the block with you and done you quite a few solids at work. Iâve never shortchanged on my monthly salary and bonuses. As your wife, I havenât helped you with anything in your work. All of your assets are from before our marriage, and I wouldnât want to claim a share of your moneyâ Cornelia responded
âAs long as we are married, the money I earn becomes our joint marital property. You can keep the gifts Granny Luisa gave you. Iâll throw in some extra bucks, then you do not have to work in the future, and there is no need to sweat the small stuff in life anymoreâ Marcus responded
Comelia shot him down, âNo need, I can rake in my own dough.â
Marcus again cautioned her, âThink it over.â
Cornelia firmly answered, âIâve thought it through. If there are no issues, then please sign at the designated place, and we can proceed with the divorce process.â
âIf this is what you really want, we donât need to go through the hoops, I can get someone to handle it directly.â
Cornelia chuckled, âSounds good, itâs a winâwin for both of us.â
As Marcus was about to sign the divorce agreement, Patricia saw it and rushed over to snatch the document.
âMarc, you canât sign this! Youâve been MIA from home these days and not contacting Nelly. Itâs normal for Nelly to be pissed. Sheâs just blowing off steam. You canât act rashly. You canât divorce no matter what.â
Cornelia softly said, âPatricia, Iâm not acting rashly, Iâve thought it through. Give him the divorce agreement, let him sign
it.â
âNo way, I canât let you guys split, absolutely not. If you guys get divorced, Granny Luisa will be heartbroken.â Patricia whipped out her phone, âIâm gonna call Granny Luisa now, let her talk some sense into you guys.â
But before she could dial, she heard Marcusâ frosty voice, âYouâre fired, pack your bags and hit the road.â
âMarc, I donât mind if you fire me, but you and Nelly canât split. Youâre head over heels for Nelly, you even said Nelly is the only gal youâve ever fancied in your life, why are you walking down the divorce road?â Patricia was devastated.
Tahlia also chimed in, âNelly, why donât you mull it over, after allâ¦
Hearing this, Patricia quickly turned to Tahlia in rage. âKnock off the pretend concern, if you really consider Nelly as your sister, would you say those things to her face? You just said Marc bought you a house, what the hell are you trying to pull?â
In Patriciaâs eyes, if Tahlia hadnât spouted that infuriating nonsense, Cornelia might not have proposed the divorce to Marcus. However, this decision was made by Cornelia when she came back from the Hartley Group last time.
Cornelia once said, her heart was small, so small that it could only accommodate one person. And, small enough not to tolerate any impurities in love.
If this love was no longer pure, then Cornelia could quickly make a decision to sever the marriage. She absolutely wouldnât break her back for a man not worth loving.
Tahlia felt wronged, holding back tears as she turned to Marcus, âPresident Hartley, Iâ¦â
âDo not cry I wonât let anyone bully you.â Marcusâ voice suddenly turned cold, âSomeone, Escort Patricia out.â
Cornelia just stood back, watching the show silently
