The instant Harold turned around, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure.
He couldn't recall the person's name until he was out of Fortune Real Estate—Autumn Linnel.
She was the pretty journalist he had met back at Larson Corporation.
Autumn had noticed Harold as well. So this guy already has a wife, huh? And her wife looks so attractive.
The onlookers left after Harold and Isabella did. The only people around were the Xenoses and two Fortune Real Estate employees.
Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, Mandy also left the building with Brittany and Gordon. “Now that we have ten million, we should buy a mansion instead of a small house!”
The employees of Fortune Real Estate were dumbfounded by her words.
They had thought they could sell two houses. In the end, they couldn't even sell one.
After leaving Fortune Real Estate, Harold and Isabella stopped at the parking lot.
He was very happy as he followed behind her because he had seen how jealous she had been earlier.
Looks like my recent efforts have paid off! In the past, she faked our marriage because she wanted to use me to reject her arranged marriage with the Larson family. That was all our relationship amounted to. However, seeing that she was jealous earlier... I think things will no longer be how they used to be, and she probably won't mention divorcing me anymore.
Just as he was feeling gleeful, Isabella, with her back against him, said, “If you still can't let Brittany go, you can return to her right now, Harold! We'll visit City Hall next Monday to end our fake marriage and return your freedom!”
Harold was flabbergasted. This isn't how the story is supposed to go.
Without giving him a chance to explain, Isabella went straight to her blue Audi.
Seeing that Isabella was about to leave right away, Harold swiftly stepped forward and pleaded, “Bella, I can explain!”
Unfortunately, she had no intention of giving him that chance as she drove away.
He stood motionless in place, looking helpless.
At that moment, he finally understood why people said that a woman's mind was unfathomable.
Back in the sales department, Isabella had been willing to lose ten million because she was jealous for his sake, yet she still wanted to divorce him.
It wasn't until after some time had passed that Harold stopped staring in the direction she had left and returned home.
He hoped Isabella would give him the chance to explain himself after going back.
However, when he arrived home, he noticed no one was inside.
Isabella didn't return home at all, not even Pauline and Benson, who usually loved to stay at home, were there.
Harold gave Craig a call. “Hey, Cray—Craigy, can you give Marilyn a call and ask her if my wife's at her place?”
He had wanted to call Craig Cray, but he thought it sounded too weird, so he changed it to Craigy.
Less than five minutes later, Craig called him back and told him Isabella was indeed at Marilyn's place.
That made Harold feel melancholic.
Based on his previous experience, Isabella would no doubt stay at Marilyn's place for the next two days until Monday, when City Hall was in operation.
