Chapter 495
3/2
Natalle was extremely calm. Perhaps it was because she had been crying and screaming for the better half of last night. She was unfazed by Jeremy. He froze for a moment before taking the food out of the bag.
Natalie kept to her word. She didn’t have a single bite of his food.
Jeremy put down his fork once Natalie finished her pasta. Everything that he’d eaten tasted horrible and tasteless.
Natalie didn’t spare Jeremy a glance. She washed her dishes in the kitchen before heading straight toward the couch.
Jeremy observed Natalie’s behavior intently.
If Natalie had sobbed and screamed at him, he would’ve found a way to soothe her. Yet, she did no such thing. Natalie was extremely composed.
Natalie nestled into the couch. Then, she pulled out two copies of a divorce agreement and handed it to Jeremy,
She said, “Take a look at the document. I’ll leave this marriage with nothing but the clothes on my back. I want nothing from you except to get divorced as soon as possible. Sign here, please.”
Natalie spoke in an even tone. Jeremy couldn’t see a hint of love in her eyes. Perhaps it was out of loathing for his betrayal and scorn at her stupidity.
Jeremy didn’t take the documents from her. His gaze was extremely cold, as though they were hot potatoes rather than divorce agreements.
He insisted, “I can explain what happened with Annabelle. There’s nothing between us. I went to see her for a work–related matter. When she resigned, she accidentally took an important business contract with her. Today, she tried using the contract as an excuse to ask for reparations. In addition, she demanded me to discuss this with her personally.”
Natalie found his excuse hilarious. He must’ve spent all morning coming up with it.
Why did Jeremy still think she was a gullible woman? Did he believe that his excuse would fool her?
Natalie said, “Jeremy, I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed. Since young, I’ve never wanted to believe that humanity was inherently evil. However, this does not give you the right to lie to me.”
“Nath, what you see might not always be the truth,” Jeremy stated.

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
