Chloe glanced at it, her brow furrowing. “A project for Bano Group? Isn’t that owned by the Shawn family?”

“So, what? Is making money from them too tough for you? Or are you hoping Michael will throw a few billion dollars your way when you divorce?”
Chloe was used to her sarcastic jabs.
“I’ll think about it. I’m exhausted. I’ll sleep on it and get back to you.”
After a sleepless night, Chloe’s head was throbbing.
She then went straight to the bedroom and collapsed onto the bed.
Though Candy wasn’t the most empathetic listener, her sharp words somehow calmed Chloe’s nerves.
Tired and drained, Chloe fell asleep not long after.
Her dreams, however, were filled with nightmares of her father’s chaotic death and the terrifying image of her mother repeatedly slashing her wrists.

Meanwhile, the eighty food deliveries and Chloe’s unreachable phone drove Michael into a rage. He stormed into Lotus Manor with a menacing aura, his face dark and stormy.
“Where is she?” He demanded.
The maid trembled, barely able to stand. “Mr. Shawn, Mrs. Shawn left with a suitcase. She… she left this.”
With shaking hands, she handed over a document. The words. “Divorce Agreement” were glaring under the bright light.
Michael paused before opening the document and reading the reasons for the divorce.
It said — [Due to the husband’s impotence and stinginess, the marriage is irreparably broken, hence the divorce.]
“Damn it!” He cursed under his breath.
With a long face, he pulled out his phone and made a call. Ten minutes later, he knew where Chloe was.
Chloe was jolted awake in the afternoon by a furious pounding on the door.
Thinking that Candy had forgotten to bring the keys again, she yawned and opened the door.

The next second, Michael, who was angry, came into her view.
Her drowsiness vanished instantly.
“What do you want?” She asked coldly, straightening up.
Michael’s eyes blazed with fury as he barged into the room, slamming the door shut behind him.
The gust of wind carried his familiar pine scent, mixed with an unfamiliar perfume.
Suppressing the pang of bitterness, Chloe turned to face him, only to be met with his outburst.
“How dare you?! Messing with Shawn Heavy Industries like that?”
Chloe couldn’t help pitying herself, knowing what he came for.
The divorce agreement she’d left behind on purpose now felt like a joke. She should have known he wouldn’t care.
Taking a deep breath, she met his gaze coldly.
“Michael, I’m still your wife legally. I also have my fair share of Shawn Heavy Industries. Why tell me to stay out of it? If you truly want me to leave it, then sign the divorce papers!”
Before she could finish, Michael grabbed her waist roughly.

as long as I don’t agree, the only thing you’ll get is that divorce agreement. Got it?”
Chloe knew it perfectly.
Michael always revealed his cruelty behind closed doors.
He was never a fan of the feud between members of the Shawn family. After establishing his own company, he settled scores with the Shawns that had bullied or framed him before.
Even though he was no longer involved in the Shawn family business, everyone knew no one else but he would take it over eventually.
Chloe wasn’t stupid, thinking that she could fight him over his assets. But she was done putting up with everything.
Michael made her unhappy. Then she would lash it all out at him.
Taking a deep breath, Chloe shoved him back.
“So what? Besides the divorce, maybe I should have a child with you. That way, your family will back me up financially…”
With that, she reached out to touch his groin, but he quickly grabbed her hand, pulling it away as his expression darkened.
“You want a child? Dream on! You’re not worthy!”

Chloe didn’t continue her move. Her eyes were brimmed with.

“Don’t push your luck,” He growled impatiently.
Chloe let out a soft laugh as tears welled up in her eyes.
“Right, I’m not good enough for you. Only Lucy is, huh? Fine. I’ve signed the divorce papers. Don’t forget to sign it.”
Crossing her arms before her chest, Chloe opened the door. again. The cool night breeze swept in through the crack, making the room less suffocating.
After a few moments of silence, she turned back, only to find Michael lounging on the living room sofa, his legs casually crossed. He exuded a refined elegance, yet his demeanor. screamed arrogance.
“Tomorrow morning’s meeting will cover the incident from yesterday. Lucy will be there too. Keep your attitude in check and don’t cause trouble,” He ordered as domineeringly as ever.
