Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 1118

Chapter 1118 Negotiation (3)

Elliot's blunt expulsion of Lawrence made the assistant at the door tremble with fear. He spoke cautiously, "Mr. Ingram, I'll escort you out now."

They had just agreed to collaborate, and it would be a great loss if it ended abruptly due to a few words. Besides, Mr. Harper had been in a bad mood lately and Elliot needed to be careful.

Lawrence gave Elliot a deep look before leaving Harper Group without saying anything.

After the office quieted down, Elliot pounded his fist hard on the desk with a loud bang. The knuckles on his hand quickly turned red and swollen from the impact but it was nothing compared to his anger and jealousy inside.

Just as Lawrence was being escorted by an assistant to the garage, the front desk manager called.

"Mr. Harper, there's a lawyer at reception who wants to see you. Should I let him in?"

Still fuming with anger, Elliot didn't think twice before responding coldly in a low voice, "I didn't make an appointment with any lawyer; handle him who hasn't made the appointment according to company policy."

He was about to hang up when he heard urgency in the manager's voice. "Mr. Harper! This lawyer doesn't have an appointment but he says Mrs. Harper asked him here!"

Elliot's face instantly darkened.

A lawyer?

"Let him come up," he said curtly.

Elliot sat on his sofa looking grim as Rose's appointed lawyer walked into his office carrying a briefcase while sporting black-framed glasses that gave him an air of sophistication.

"Hello, Mr. Harper, I'm the attorney sent by Miss Russell so we can discuss divorce matters." said this middle-aged man politely while standing next to Elliot.

The piercing gaze that fell upon him from Mr. Harper left little doubt that this meeting would not go smoothly.

Elliot pursed his lips tightly revealing some gloominess but remained silent.

The attorney cleared his throat nervously before continuing, "This is Miss Russell's proposed contract which we can amend after discussing your requirements..." He handed over an agreement from within his briefcase while noticing how angry Mr. Harper looked right now.

The lawyer was startled, his hand holding the agreement shaking slightly.

Elliot stared coldly at the bold and black words on the cover of the agreement in front of him.

Divorce Agreement.

He stared deeply at these big words, gritting his teeth hard. His hands quickly reached out and tore the agreement to pieces, scattering it all over the office.

The lawyer couldn't believe what he was seeing as he looked down at the shredded paper on the ground and then back up at Elliot. He saw that Elliot's eyes were dark and heavy with a tinge of deep red underneath them. He glared fiercely at the scraps of paper on the floor that still had "divorce" written on them.

There was a deathly silence in the office.
