By afternoon, Dominic had been in a meeting at the company for hours. The projects in England and Siberia had suffered a devastating blow from the Smith Group, leaving no chance of recovery.

Dominic had already arranged for someone to contact the Smith Group, and he planned to travel to Germany in

person.

As he stepped out of the conference room, Eleanor appeared, holding a divorce agreement-not the one

Aurelia had sent to Hawthorne Manor.

The agreement sent to Hawthorne Manor had clearly stipulated that Aurelia was entitled to five billion from the marital assets, not the 50-50 split stated earlier.

Unwilling to accept this, Eleanor had directly drawn up a new agreement forcing Aurelia to leave the marriage with nothing and brought it to Dominic to sign.

When she first received Aurelia’s call about the “accident” on the way to file the papers, she’d thought it was just a trick to stall the divorce.

But on second thought, all Aurelia’s schemes lately had been aimed at getting a divorce.

Her determination to end the marriage was undeniable.

With that in mind, the Hawthorne family had no need to

accommodate her.

She’d give her this “leave with nothing” agreement-take it or leave it.

Eleanor was certain Aurelia would sign; otherwise, she’d have to keep enduring Eleanor’s wrath.

Not that Aurelia would have much time to suffer anyway -she’d be arrested soon, forced to pay for the death of her precious granddaughter!

Seeing Eleanor show up at the company again, Dominic wore a cold, impassive expression.

Between the chaotic overseas situation-England, Siberia, Passau, all in ruins-and the mounting pressure, he was in no mood to deal with any Hawthorne family matters, let alone his mother.

Eleanor followed him into his office, slamming the divorce agreement on his desk and pushing it toward him. “Sign this.”

Dominic pulled out a cigarette, glancing casually at the document.

His brows furrowed when he saw the words “Divorce Agreement.” “What’s this?”

“She said there was an accident on the way to file the divorce papers-she needs you to sign a new one,” Eleanor replied.

Dominic fell silent.

So he and Aurelia weren’t divorced yet?

The tightness in his chest, which had been weighing on him since morning, eased slightly, as if a small crack had opened to let in air.

“Hurry up and sign. Keeping a woman like her in the Hawthorne family will only bring us more trouble the longer it drags on,” Eleanor urged.

completely divorced.

For some reason, when she’d spoken to Aurelia on the phone at noon, there had been something off about her

tone.

Even through the line, Eleanor had felt as if Aurelia’s venomous gaze was piercing through the air, her hands ready to reach through the waves and strangle her.

The sense of danger had been palpable, even from a distance.

“Sign it now!” Eleanor pressed again, the memory of that dangerous feeling making her anxious.

Dominic shot her a sharp look. “What kind of accident?”

“What?”

“What happened on her way to file the papers?” he repeated, his voice cold.

“How should I know? Ugh, stop asking so many questions and just sign!” Eleanor snapped, growing increasingly impatient.

Dominic let out a scoff, picking up the agreement to scan its contents. When he saw the clause stating that Aurelia would leave the marriage with nothing, he glanced up at

Eleanor.

“You drew this up, didn’t you?”

Leave with nothing?

With Aurelia’s stubbornness to never let herself be

wronged lately, there was no way she’d agree to such

terms.

Eleanor’s face darkened at his words. “What has she ever

contributed to the Hawthorne family? Why should she get a penny?”

The agreement was slammed back down on the desk.

Dominic lit his cigarette slowly, the flame flickering in the dim light of the office. “It seems you don’t actually want us to get divorced.”

“Just sign it!”

“Do you really think she’ll sign this and go for a divorce,

voluntarily?”

Eleanor fell silent.

Won’t she?

But she had no choice!

Yet when she thought about Aurelia’s recent defiance, doubt crept into her mind.

Aurelia was nothing like the obedient girl she’d been when she first married into the Hawthorne family.

Back then, her docile demeanor had made Eleanor think she was soft-spoken and easy to control.

But now…

No matter what, the divorce had to happen.

“Fine, I’ll have someone draw up a new one.” Eleanor conceded.

“No need,” Dominic said flatly.

“What do you mean?” Eleanor’s heart skipped a beat.

No need? Did that mean he didn’t want a divorce anymore? That was impossible!

“Don’t you think this is fate? An accident stopping her from filing the papers-isn’t that a sign from God that we shouldn’t get divorced?” Dominic asked, taking a slow drag on his cigarette.

“Fate? It’s a trick, plain and simple!” Eleanor exploded, jumping to her feet.

Her head throbbed with anger, as if it were about to

burst.

Despite her outburst, Dominic remained calm, exhaling a cloud of smoke slowly.

Eleanor stared at his indifferent, careless expression, taking several deep breaths to suppress the fury in her

chest.

“She has to pay for your brother’s daughter’s death! She’s going to jail!

“Do you want the news to spread that your wife is in jail? bcan’t afford that kind of humiliation.”

Dominic shot back, “Haven’t we embarrassed ourselves enough lately? What’s a little more?” His gaze turned icy as it swept over Eleanor.

Eleanor fired back, her voice tight with frustration.

“Right. We’ve already had our fair share of shame. Can’t

afford to pile on any more.

“Think about your brother’s daughter! How can you still let a woman like her stay in the Hawthorne family?” Eleanor spoke with urgent earnestness, as if trying to reason with a stone wall.

No matter her words, though, Dominic only stared at her coldly, utterly unyielding.

Since morning, his heart had felt hollow, an empty void left by the divorce papers he’d signed the day before.

Now, after learning the divorce hadn’t been finalized, that emptiness slowly began to fill-a quiet, satisfying warmth that spread through his chest.
