After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 1098

Chapter 1098 His Killer Move

"What method?" Anthony's eyes held a deep meaning. "Grandma has always liked you as a granddaughter-in-law, and has watched Alistair grow up since childhood. She naturally doesn't want to let go. If you don't mind, I can sacrifice a little and continue this agreement marriage reluctantly. What do you think?"

Mavis's mouth twitched.

Look at what he was saying?

It seemed like he was so wronged by her reluctance to agree to the marriage proposal.

Why did it make her feel so uncomfortable?

Her heart felt even more blocked, and Mavis refused decisively, "No, I'm not worthy of letting Mr. Callahan suffer."

Anthony smirked deeply. "It's not too much of a loss after all since your body can be used as compensation."

"Shameless," she muttered through gritted teeth before getting up and leaving the hospital room without wanting to stay for another moment.

"Where are you going?" Anthony called out after her.

She didn't even bother acknowledging him as she walked away quickly, slamming the door shut with a loud bang that sent chills down his spine and blew his hair in front of his forehead.

Even from just seeing her back view, he could sense the strong resentment emanating from her figure.

Anthony then restrained his expression before turning black-faced in an instant; even the delicious food on the small table lost its appeal along with it.

He put down his utensils and took out a cigarette box from behind the pillow before puffing smoke clouds into thin air within seconds.

"Mr. Callahan," Kane came in at that moment while witnessing him smoking. "Why are you smoking already? Mrs Callahan hasn't gone far yet; doctors have advised against smoking or drinking during recovery periods. Even if it's just for showmanship purposes, please act like an actual patient! It wouldn't look good if Mrs. Callahan saw this..."

Kane was almost tearing his hair out; ever since he entered earlier on, all he had done was nag incessantly about everything under the sun!

His constant nagging caused Anthony's eyebrows to furrow tightly together while also making him increasingly irritated.

"Her thoughts aren't focused on me at all! She only wants divorce no matter what happens. Whether I smoke ten or twenty cigarettes until my lungs give way, she probably wouldn't care!"

This statement clearly carried some resentment within it – definitely not pleased with how things were currently playing out between them both!

As Kane continued speaking about how Mavis used to love him wholeheartedly previously but now seemingly changed due to something else entirely...

The more Kane spoke towards this end point, the quieter and softer-spoken became Kane's voice till eventually receiving one sharp glare from Anthony which instantly silenced him altogether.

Anthony kept a cool expression on his handsome face as he took a deep drag from his cigarette. It seemed like all of his frustration was being released through the smoke, but it only ended up irritating him further when he choked on it.

"Are you okay?"

Anthony leaned against the pillow and waved his hand in annoyance. "Kane, take away the table."

He couldn't eat, not at all.

He had already given her an out. Why was this woman so stubborn?

Kane didn't dare say anything else and just sighed as he helped clear away the food containers so Anthony could lie down.

...

Mavis never returned to the hospital room. As he finished his cigarette, even the smell of smoke dissipated along with her absence.

Anthony furrowed his eyebrows tightly and eventually sent Kane to find Mavis.

At a corner of the hospital's secure passage, Mavis paced back and forth while talking on her phone.

"... Yes, don't worry about me. The situation here is good and Crana has excellent security measures in place. You don't need to worry about any mishaps happening to me."
