Chapter 292 No Wonder the Divorce Went So Smoothly
+36 Bonus
Hugh and Bethan had divorced in secret, keeping it from
everyone.
Although Mason and Arthur were in the know, after Hugh and Bethan’s divorce, neither had made any public announcements on Instagram, so the two men hadn’t dared ask too many questions.
Tuesday evening, Hugh returned to Cavill Manor after work.
The family had just finished dinner when Hugh unexpectedly walked in, catching everyone off guard.
Ryan said, “Since you two have decided to make things work, have her go with you to more business events. Clear up those rumors floating around.”
“If she still wants to be Mrs. Cavill,” Ryan continued, “she needs to give you a child, and soon.”
Hugh said nothing. Instead, he placed the divorce degree 2 he’d brought on the coffee table.

“Mom, Dad, Grandfather,” he said quietly. “Bethan and I are divorced.”
The moment the words left Hugh’s mouth, everyone’s expressions changed.
Gwen immediately grabbed the divorce decree, her eyes welling up with tears. She handed the decree to her parents with trembling hands.
Fiona glanced at it briefly, then looked away.
Harvey remained seated, saying nothing.
Ryan’s voice was ice cold. “How much did that woman take from you?”
Hugh lowered his gaze, hiding the emotion in his eyes.
“She didn’t take anything.”
Ryan snorted and slammed the divorce decree back onto the coffee table. “At least she knows her place!”
His face remained cold as he went on. “A bankrupt girl

Hugh stood up wearily. “I just came to let you all know. I’m heading back now.”
He turned and left the living room.
Gwen, tears in her eyes, stopped him by his car.
“Hugh,” she said, “you know better than anyone how Bethan treated you all these years. You’re the one who cheated and betrayed her-you screwed up. How could you let her leave with nothing?”
Faced with his sister’s accusations, Hugh felt like he couldn’t breathe.
He said nothing, pushed past Gwen, got in his car, and drove away.
Gwen returned to the living room, where Ryan scolded her with a stern face. “Your brother and that woman are divorced now. Stay away from her.”
Gwen stamped her foot in frustration. “Dad, Hugh’s the one who messed up! It’s fine if you want to protect him, but why can’t I stay friends with Bethan?”

Ryan’s tone was final. “She used to act all high and mighty in elite circles because she was Mrs. Cavill. Now that she’s divorced from your brother, she’s nothing!”
Gwen was about to argue when Fiona stopped her.
Harvey, who had been silent, finally spoke. “Gwen, how are things going with that guy we set you up with last week?”
The anger Gwen had just suppressed flared up again. “I will never get married! Don’t even think about using me for some business deal!”
Furious, Gwen grabbed her car keys and stormed out.

Late that night, in a private room on the second floor of Regal Club.
Mason and Hugh each occupied a long sofa.
Mason asked, “Why did you suddenly agree to the
divorce? Just because of what you heard Bethan say that Aigh@?”

Hugh sat on the sofa-white shirt wrinkled, black suit pants creased-looking like he’d been dragged through hell. His gaze stayed locked on the wine swirling in his glass. He didn’t answer Mason’s question.
What Bethan had said that night had really made him
think.
In Bethan’s eyes, he was a terrible husband.
He had neglected her way too much, owed her way too much.
He wanted to quickly clean up this mess and start over
with her.
After brooding for a long time, Hugh changed the subject. “You’re hiding out abroad just to avoid getting married off, and you still have time to worry about my problems?”
Mason flopped back on the sofa and let out a long sigh. “I’m not even done living my life, and they’re already shoving marriage and babies down my throat. Might as well just throw me into hell and get it over with. Old people are so messed up.”

you haven’t had enough fun yet, or because she’s just not the right person?”
Mason turned his head to look at Hugh. “When you married Bethan, was she the right person?”
Hugh unconsciously tightened his grip on his wine glass.
“The moment I decided to marry Bethan,” he said, “I was prepared to spend my entire life with her.”
Even now, he still felt the same way.

On Wednesday, the Cavill Group publicly announced Hugh’s divorce, causing quite a stir.
That afternoon, Bethan met with Calvin at a restaurant.
“I didn’t expect your divorce to go so smoothly,” Calvin said. “But it’s over now. Just see where life takes you.”
Calvin didn’t say “congratulations.”
Béthan smiled, looking relaxed. “I wanted to throw a 18:13

“Anyway,” Bethan continued, “I still need to thank you, Mr. Byron.”
Without Calvin’s help, just the waiting period at the court would have dragged things out forever.
Calvin smiled. “Dr. Olsen, no need to be so formal with me. It was Hugh who made this possible-he was willing to let go and end things on good terms.
Calvin always knew what to say.

He neither put Bethan on a pedestal nor threw Hugh
under the bus.
That’s why Bethan felt relaxed and comfortable around Calvin.
Henry, sitting quietly beside Calvin, had been well-behaved for quite a while.
When the two adults finished talking, Henry tugged on his father’s sleeve and whispered, “Daddy, can I ask Mommy to help me pick out cool sneakers?”
