Chapter 4

Spencer looked stunned. He was all set as to how he should reply, and how to handle it if Ashlyn proposed any conditions.

Little did he expect Ashlyn to be so cool about it, making him feel somewhat awkward.

He had been following Lucas for many years. He was one of the few who knew about Lucas’ marriage, and he usually had a pretty good impression of Ashlyn.

He also thought that Ashlyn and Lucas were a perfect match and was reluctant to see his boss divorce Ashlyn. However, as an outsider, he naturally had no right to put in his two cents.

“Ms. Berry, I’m sure you remember about the prenuptial agreement that you’d signed when you got married to Mr. Nolan, right?”

“Of course. His fortune has nothing to do with me, and I won’t get any money from divorcing him.” Ashlyn smiled, for she understood Spencer’s meaning. “Don’t worry. I’m not the kind of woman who’s fond for such earthly things~”

When they first got married, they were merely taking what they needed. It was an unspoken exchange of favors.

So, it was only right that they part ways now.

Besides, she wasn’t the kind of woman who couldn’t live without Lucas.

After leaving the café, Ashlyn went back straight to Bayview Villa that Jared had prepared for her. It was a bit far from the city and was located close to the river.

When several men clad in black in the villa saw her, they bent down instantly and greeted in respect.

Ashlyn nodded in return before stepping inside.

“Boss,” Jared greeted at once upon seeing her.

“I’m divorced.” Ashlyn grinned, her cool and stunning face making hearts flutter.

She sat on the couch, opened the laptop on the coffee table, and started typing away, hacking into the traffic system to delete all traces of her journey from the traffic surveillance video.

Once she was finished, she raised her eyes and discovered that Jared was staring at her with a bemused look.

“What are you doing?” she asked, her brows slightly creased.

“Nothing. I mean, boss, are you really divorced?” Jared felt a little woozy.

From her tone, why does a divorce sounds as simple as eating and drinking water? Is marriage a child’s play?

“It’s not like you don’t know why I got married.” Ashlyn beckoned to him. “Hurry up and give me the sales report for the new quarter.”

Jared was a tall, handsome-looking man. He and Lucas had very different temperaments; one was cold and devious, and the other warm and righteous.

For many years, he had been Ashlyn’s right-hand man.

Ashlyn didn’t have to wait for long as Jared placed a document in front of her a few minutes later.

She looked down and started flipping through the document.

Jared was still in shock. “I mean, boss, your husband is Lucas Nolan, the heartthrob Captain of South Star Airlines, and the president of Nolan Group. He’s the man of every woman’s dream. Are you really willing to let go of such a dashing and invincible man?”

Ashlyn looked up and gave Jared a sharp look. “Speak any more nonsense and I’ll feed you to the sharks.”

The one-meter eight man immediately kept silent, as far as he knows, no one had the balls to mess with this woman.

Ten minutes later, Ashlyn returned the document to Jared. “The sales volume is ten percent higher than the previous quarter. It’s five percent higher than I expected.”

“All credit goes to you, boss.” Jared was no longer the calm and collected president he was before.

“Oh, shut up,” Ashlyn said impassively. “I need to sleep.”

“You’re not going back?” Jared asked, dumbfounded.

“What for? I’ve already signed the divorce agreement.” Ashlyn looked down at Jared condescendingly from the stairs, as if she were regarding a fool.
