Chapter 16
Divorced but Delighted
Chapter 16 Entrustment Design Studio Draven was silent.
The answer to that question was obvious.
With a more mocking smile, Cierra put her index finger on Dravenâs chest.
âSince you plan to marry Aleah, letâs get a divorce as soon as possible so she doesnât have to waste any more time waiting for you. As for me, I know very well what Iâm doing, and I donât need you to discipline me. Even if we are not divorced, you have no right to do so, let alone after we are divorced.â
With that, Cierra took two steps back, and the emotions on her face disappeared.
Her face was expressionless, but it also showed a hint of heartlessness.
âYou can go back. I donât want to be involved with you, and I donât want to cause trouble for myself.â
Even though Cierra had already signed the divorce agreement, Aleah still tried to defile her. If she had any more contact with Draven, no one knew how much trouble she would have in the future.
For the sake of her foster parentsâ kindness, Cierra let go of the old grudge. But if someone bothered her again, she would not be so magnanimous.
Draven of course did not leave. He stood in place with a sullen face.
For more than twenty years, wherever he went, he would be complimented by others. This was the first time someone him trouble.
And that person was Cierra, the one who had been clinging to him since childhood!
Draven took a step forward indignantly, but then he was stopped by William.
called âMr. Trevino, you shouldnât be so ignorant. Now that youâve got Aleah, you have nothing to do with Cierra anymore. She has already made it so obvious. If you continue to pester her, it will not be good.â
Draven ignored the man in front of him. His gaze fell on the expressionless Gierra. âAre you really not willing to go home with me?â
Cierra looked at Draven and said, âMr. Trevino, donât say such ambiguous words to me. You know that I have liked you since I was a child, and Iâve gone through a hard time before I finally made up my mind to let go of you. But now you said those words to me. Arenât you afraid that I will rely on you again? At that time, Iâm afraid that you wonât be able to divorce me even if you want to. Are you willing to live your life with a woman you donât like?â
Back home.
What a luxurious thought.
In the first year Cierra was driven out of the country, she still hoped that Draven would have a little affection for her and wished that he would take her home one day.
But he didnât.
He didnât even have a phone call. So how could he have come to pick her up for a surprise?
He just wanted her to disappear.
Thinking of the past, Cierra put on a long face and said in a cold voice, âMr. Trevino, it is you who said that if not for Ernest, you wouldnât have married me at all. And now youâre delaying our divorce. Is it interesting?â
Dravenâs thoughts were still stuck on the last question.
For a moment, he felt that it was acceptable for Cierra to cling to him as she did when she was a child.
But his reason was still struggling with this thought.
Until Cierraâs words knocked him out. Marrying her was just because his grandfather forced him, and what he was unwilling to do should not continue.
His dark eyes regained clarity, and the hostility in his body disappeared. His voice was low and slow.
âI know whether I should divorce or not, but I canât watch you go astray. The Boyle family chased you out, and you can come to me if you were short of money. My grandfather watched you grow up. Youâve become like this now. Will my grandfather be disappointed if he is still alive?â
I have become like this? Like what?
Is finding a rich boyfriend a selfâdegrading thing?
I know, in their eyes, Iâm just an orphan, and all I should have known were hooligans on the street. So itâs impossible for me to have a friend like William.
Cierra thought about it and found it funny. âMr. Trevino, according to your thinking, isnât spending your money and spending Mr. Bartonâs money the same thing? Since itâs the same, why donât I choose the one Iâm comfortable with?â
âCierra!â
Dravenâs extinguished anger was evoked by Cierra again.
âI can hear you. Both of my ears can hear you.â Cierra picked her ears indifferently.
There were already people in Laurel Edifice downstairs for lunch. And there would probably be more people here in a while. Cierra did not want to continue arguing with Draven as she thought it was very embarrassing.
It seems that we wonât be able to sign the contract today. If I really enter the company with William, Iâm afraid that these two will have a fight.
I donât want Williamâs hand to be hurt.
Cierra turned to William and said softly, âGo upstairs and apply the ointment. I have an appointment with Lydia. I donât want to be late.â
âIâll go with you! I just want to ask Ms. Navarro if she has any intention of signing with XR Entertainment Letâs go together,â said William.
Draven swept his gaze over. âI donât think you would mind having one more person. The Trevino Group has had an advertising endorsement recently and wants to talk with Ms. Navarro about the cooperation.â
âBoth of you are not allowed to go!â
Cierra got furious. âMake an appointment by yourself if you need to talk about your work. Whatâs the point of disturbing our meal time?â
She glared at the two, put on her sunglasses, and turned to leave.
The white BMW sped away.
William gave a soft âtutâ and was about to turn back to the company when he was stopped by Draven.
âMr. Barton, please forgive me for having offended you today. XR Entertainment has not been founded in New York for long. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to tell me. The Trevino Group will always be there for you. But I hope you can let Cierra go.â
With a complicated look on his face, William pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek. There was a mocking in his beautiful eyes which were similar to Cierraâs.
âLet Cierra go? Shouldnât these words be directed at you, Mr. Trevino? Besides, how do you know that Iâm not sincere? The entertainment industry is a pool of muddy water. Canât I be the one who comes out of the mud and is not tainted?â
Draven narrowed his eyes. âMr. Barton, do you mean that you intend to stand on the opposite side of the Trevino Group in the future?â
William laughed lightly and looked fearless. âI donât mean that. It was you who brought your personal issues into business. How can you blame me?â
The main industry of the Trevino Group was the physical economy, while William was the boss of an entertainment company. Dravenâs words could not threaten William.
Even if William had some scruples about Draven in New York, he couldnât be scared off by just one sentence. He still needed to avenge Cierra!
Got threaten? What a joke.
He even added sentence to Draven with a mischievous smile.
âYou look down on me as a person in the entertainment industry. But anyway, I never wanted to pursue two girls at one time. What do you think, Mr.
Trevino?â
He was directly condemning Draven.
Draven pursed his lips tightly.

I didnât dare to disobey. I sent her away because I didnât want to give her hope. Our divorce is a matter of course. I donât object to her remarrying, but sheâs different from us. Even if you truly like her, do you think your family will agree to you marrying a woman without any background?â
William stroked his chin in amusement. âWhat you said seems to make sense.â
Draven heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. He looked still elegant.
âSince you understand, I hope that you wonât give others any unnecessary expectations. Please donât take it to heart if I offended you earlier.â
William did not reply to Dravenâs words. He pointed at the building behind him and said, âAre you done? If you are, I will go back to work.â
Draven looked down and thought for a moment. He asked, âMr. Barton, I have to ask you one last question. I heard that the designer Sylvia of Entrustment Design Studio is planning to sign a contract with XR Entertainment Have you decided?â
