Shein continued smiling.

“It’s not like you’re unaware of my situation with Josie. Why bother asking?”

Yolanda was a successful entrepreneur in the maternal and infant products industry in the bustling city of Mocuwait. Her family background was comparable to that of the Thompson family.

Yolanda sneered at Shein’s explanation.

“You’ve been going through a divorce lawsuit for three years. Perhaps you two don’t even plan to divorce, right?”

Zachary’s and Wanda’s eyes widened at the revelation. They had no idea Shein and Josie were in the middle of a divorce. They had never brought it up.

Wanda’s eyes reddened.

She asked shakily, “Dad, why are you two divorcing?”

Zachary narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtful. Soon, he realized that Shein and Josie were merely putting

on an act.

Hence, he crossed his arms, looking unfazed.

Shein smiled helplessly.

“You’ve also noticed that I’ve had a strained relationship with your mother for the past few years. We even

live separately often.

“Actually, we’ve been wanting to divorce for a long time. It’s just that we’ve dragged it on for so long as we’ve never reached an agreement regarding property.”

“No! I don’t want you to divorce!”

Tears streamed down Wanda’s face. Since she was young, she never worried about having no food on the

table. The only thing she lacked was the love and care of her parents.

Now that she had grown up, Shein and Josie were about to divorce. She could not accept that.

Shein did not know whether to cry or laugh.

“Many things are not within our control.”

Wanda cried, “Why not? Is it because of your assets?”

Shein and Josie were entrepreneurs. Not only did they divide their property, but they also had an agreement related to their interests.

Wanda thought they were in conflict due to the uneven distribution of interests, leading to a divorce.

Shein felt guilty as he gazed at Wanda, who was in tears. He thought her to be silly. Even Zachary

understood what was going on. Shein hoped she could as well.

Yolanda was delighted to see Shein and Wanda at odds with each other with merely a few words from

her.

She turned to look at Sebastian and said, “Let’s hand out the gifts to the townspeople!”

Sebastian nodded with a grin. He waved his hand for the bodyguards in the lorry to unload the goods.

Zachary pulled his hand out of his pocket and ruffled Wanda’s hair with a smile.

“Alright, stop crying. You’re looking like a mess!”

“Mind your own business.”

Wanda pushed Zachary’s hand away and glared at Shein with reddened eyes.

“Dad, if you and Mom divorce, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!”

With that, she whirled around and ran toward the memorial hall.

“Silly Wanda…”

Shein stared at Wanda’s retreating figure while sighing.

Zachary lowered his voice and asked, “Should I tell her the truth?”

Shein shook his head with a smile.

“No need. Your mom and I are really going to divorce soon!”

“So, you’re really going to divorce? I thought it was all a show for Yuriel!”

Zachary was astonished.

“Yuriel isn’t so easily fooled!” Shein said lightly before heading toward the ancestral home.

Carlisle did not return to the dormitory. Instead, he rented a well–furnished four–bedroom apartment near

the school.

After signing the contract, he called Lethan again to deliver a computer.

The apartment had 16 floors. Carlisle stood by the window. He could see the balconies of the women’s dormitory at Riverland University.

But he could not clearly see who was on the balconies as a few streets separated the buildings.

Daniel mimed a telescope and asked slyly, “Carl, shall I go downstairs and buy you a telescope?”

Carlisle rolled his eyes.

“I’m not a pervert!”

Once he finished speaking, his phone rang. It was a call from Heath.

“Mr. Zahn, are you at school?”

“Yes, I’m nearby!”

“A few of our guys are outside Papplewick Tea Shop. You should meet them!”

“Sure.”

After hanging up the phone, Carlisle asked Francis to send him to Papplewick Tea Shop, located

diagonally across the school gates.
