Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290 I Want to Start Over

They hadn’t even reached the courthouse when Hugh’s phone rang.

On the other end, Jacob said, “Mr. Cavill, some board members are waiting in your office with your grandfather. You need to get here immediately.”

Hugh glanced over at Bethan.

Seeing her frown, Hugh said, “Didn’t I tell you I had stuff to do this morning and wouldn’t be coming in? Send them away.”

“Mr. Cavill, the project lead from that

hundred-billion-dollar deal will be at headquarters at nine,” Jacob said. “Harvey wants you to handle the meeting.”

Hugh eased the car over to the curb.

Taking off his Bluetooth earpiece, he turned to Bethan. “Emergency at the office. Let me get you home first—”

Before Hugh could finish, Bethan asked coldly, “Hugh, Before

Work was never-ending. And if something urgent came up, Hugh could deal with it without going in.

Hugh unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned closer to Bethan.

“Bethan, I promised you a divorce. I’ll keep my word. If you don’t trust me, come with me to the company.”

Bethan hesitated for a moment. “How long will it take?”

“I’ll try to wrap it up this morning,” Hugh said.

Bethan opened the car door and got out.

Standing beside the car, she said, “Hugh, I’m choosing to believe this emergency is real. Go to the office. I’ll wait at the courthouse. If you can’t make it this morning, come this afternoon. I’ll keep waiting until you show up.”

Hugh had just gotten out when his phone rang again.

Mason got out of Arthur’s car and said to Hugh and Bethan, “If you’re dead set on divorcing today, Hugh, you go to the company first. I’ll go with Bethan to wait at the courthouse.”

Hugh glanced at Mason and told Bethan, “I’ll get there as fast as I can.”

Hugh drove to the company alone while Arthur and Mason took Bethan to the courthouse.

Bethan told them, “I can wait here by myself. You two should head back.”

Arthur didn’t want to leave, but Mason practically dragged him back to the car.

In the car, Arthur worried about Bethan. “Mason, leaving her alone there—she’ll be so bored. Let me go keep her

company.”

Mason stared at Arthur, giving him a hint. “Bethan’s been hurt, and she’s determined to get divorced. But the feelings she had for Hugh-no one can truly understand how much she gave. There’s no way she doesn’t feel anything about this. They’re about to finalize the divorce today. Just let her have some time alone.”

Hugh had just seen off the project supervisor from America when several board members started going after him.

Even though Hugh had successfully landed the project, the profit margin was five points lower than what they’d originally negotiated.

The old-timer board members were relentlessly aggressive, pushing Hugh’s patience to its limit.

When one director suggested removing Hugh from his position as executive CEO, Hugh immediately pulled out evidence of that director’s embezzlement, along with proof of his shady deals with a vice president and several

other executives.

One swift move to make an example-it shut everyone up completely.

After everyone left, it was already past ten.

Hugh collapsed into his office chair, exhausted.

With his head tilted back and eyes closed, he asked Jacob,

What time is it?”

“10:30, Mr. Cavill,” Jacob replied.

“Get the car ready. We’re going to the courthouse,” Hugh said.

Seeing this, Jacob couldn’t help but speak up, “Mr. Cavill, it’s at least a forty-five-minute drive from here to the courthouse. Even if you leave now, they’ll be closed for lunch by the time you get there. Why not ask Mrs. Cavill to go this afternoon instead?”

Hugh stood up wearily. “Just get the car ready.”

Bethan had finally been willing to trust him once-he couldn’t let her down again.

At the same time, at the courthouse.

Bethan had been sitting in the lobby for over two hours.

Without exception, the young couples coming in for marriage licenses looked blissfully happy, like every girl was marrying her soulmate.

But those coming for divorces all had troubled

expressions.

There was a young woman who fought and screamed at her ex-husband after getting her divorce papers, refusing to accept it.

There were women who left with divorce papers looking numb and dead-eyed.

All of them showed some degree of sadness and heartbreak on their faces.

Not one person who got divorce papers left with a smile.

This was the price of choosing the wrong person.

Bethan checked the time on her phone.

Twenty minutes until the courthouse closed.

Feeling restless, she stepped outside to the entrance, watching cars turn in and out.

She had stood just like this, waiting anxiously at her front door for Hugh to pick her up.

When Hugh got out of the car carrying red roses, she’d practically flown into his arms.

That was the first time Hugh had given her red roses.

Hugh had held her hand as they went to get their license, their fingers intertwined as they walked out of the courthouse.

Once in the car, she posted a photo of their bright red marriage certificate on Instagram, showing it off.

He kissed her deeply for the first time, then gently ruffled her hair, teasing that she was grinning like an idiot.

Her eyes started burning with tears. Bethan tilted her head back, blinking hard.

Behind her, another bitter couple came out, arguing as they clutched their divorce papers.

As Bethan snapped out of her memories, she finally Spotted Hugh’s car.
