Life at The Top novel Chapter 808

“I don’t want you to regret this,” Jasper spoke.

Celine reached out to loop her arms around Jasper’s neck and chuckled. “Do I look like someone who’s going to regret it?”

“Have you two divorced?” Jasper asked in a serious tone.

Celine chuckled. “Why? Isn’t adultery always more exciting to you men?”

After the entire trip over, Jasper had more or less sobered up. He replied, “This is a moral issue. I have no interest in involving myself with other people’s marriage.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

Seeing how serious Jasper looked, Celine pointed at the purse she had thrown by the bed and said, “Open the zipper on the outside and you should see a compartment. Take out what’s inside.”

Jasper got up and did as Celine told. There was a very thin piece of paper in the compartment and Jasper was shocked when he looked up to find that it was a divorce agreement.

“He and I divorced last month. Do you remember my former secretary who was always at odds with you? She was one of the people he sent over to keep an eye on me. If it weren’t for the divorce, how could he not have rushed over to look for me when I got rid of her?”

Celine sat up on the bed calmly.

“It’s just that both of us come from huge families and for the sake of our family’s interests and his dignity, we can’t publicize our divorce.”

Celine then sneered, “He’s already gotten what he wanted anyway. He’s taken every single cent of capital that I’ve saved up over the past seven years.”

Jasper looked at Celine and asked, “Is it okay to divorce in secret if this is a union between families?”

“What’s wrong with that?” Celine grew calmer as if she was talking about someone else.

“There have never been any feelings between us throughout the entire relationship and we were only husband and wife in name. He married me for my status and had another puppet he could control. I only agreed for the sake of my family. My father left me 15% of the family’s shares before he passed but Wharton took that too. All that’s left is me as a person while he’s already taken all he wanted.”

Just then, someone knocked on the room door.

Despite having controlled his emotions, the rather rushed knocks betrayed his anger and frustration.

Jasper frowned slightly, assuming that it was some foolish hotel staff knocking on the door.
