Chapter 37
This womanâs got a wicked sense of humor
Ryan chuckled, âNo rush, take your timeâ
As Cornelia read through the documents, Ryan couldnât help but stare at her.
She was surprisingly gorgeous
Ryan sighed to himself, thinking how clueless Marc was when it came to relationships. He married such a beautiful woman and still left her alone and went abroad.
If he were to marry such a stunner, he wouldnât just build her a golden house and hide her away, heâd keep her by his side every day, not giving other men a chance
Now, Marc left her alone, and other men got a head start.
Captivated by Corneliaâs beauty, Ryan didnât mind the leisurely pace at which she read and relished every subtle expression that adorned her face
As Cornelia perused the divorce agreement, she encountered clauses regarding the absence of shared life or assets after their marriage, aligning precisely with her intentions.
She didnât want to give away her money, nor did she want his.
However, when she saw the part about she having to pay a hundred grand for emotional damages, she couldnât help but laugh
Their marriage was arranged by their elders, and they hadnât even met in almost a year and a half. Their divorce should have been amicable, but she didnât expect him to make such a demand.
Smiling, Cornelia pushed the divorce agreement back, âMr. Colwell, whatâs with the hundred grand in emotional damages?â
âYou know what youâve done, Ms. Stewart âRyan looked at her, thinking she must be a pro in love affairs. He almost pointed out her affair, but she remained calm.
Cornelia, âWhat did I do?â
âMs. Stewart, we both know whatâs going on. If you keep pretending, donât blame me for being rude.â Ryan pushed the divorce agreement back to Cornelia, âYou have to sign this, no matter
what.â
He was very firm, but Cornelia wasnât scared.
After spending six months with Marcus, she wasnât even afraid of him, let alone Ryan
She smiled and calmly responded, âIf I donât sign, what can you do to me?â
Her expression didnât change, but the pressure was felt. Ryan softened his tone, âMs. Stewart, just sign the agreement, and we can talk about anything.â
âDo I look stupid?â Cornelia became a little unhappy. âTell Jeremy, if he really wants a divorce, we can set a time and bring the necessary documents to the Civil Affairs Bureau. No need for a complicated divorce agreement. He wonât get a dime from me.â
Ryan had seen all kinds of situations, but Corneliaâs transformation was not to be underestimated. For some reason, he thought of Marcus when he was angry and shivered involuntarily, âWait for me for two minutes.â
Ryan found a quiet corner and called Marcus.
Marcus just came out of the shower, âAny problems?â
Ryan said, âMarc, your wife is really beautiful!â
No matter how beautiful that woman was, in Marcusâs eyes, she was just an unfaithful wife, and he was determined to end this marriage.
Marcus frowned, âRyan, you have half an hour left.â
Ryan had no choice but to tell the truth, âYour wife refuses to sign the divorce agreement.â
