Chapter 159
There was a convenience store nearby, so Wendy headed out to grab some stuff.
Thalia dialed Helen’s number
“Hello, Thalia, Helen answered, her voice gentle.
Thalia’s voice was a little hoarse. “Mom, the plan didn’t work. Darion saw right through me. He told me straight up that even if he did end up with another woman, he still wouldn’t agree to a divorce.”
Helen blinked in surprise. “Did he really say that?”
Thalia let out a wry, bitter smile. “Yeah.”
That little brat…” Helen was speechless for a moment. After a long pause, she sighed. “Thalia, I honestly don’t have any other ideas. Maybe you should give it some more thought?
“You and Darion have been together for eight years. Doesn’t it feel like such a waste to just walk away now?”
Thalia gripped her phone tightly, her voice resolute. “I need to walk away before things get worse. I can’t let eight years of love hold me back.”
Helen let out a weary sigh.
“But you know how stubborn Darion is,” Helen said. “If he won’t agree, there’s really nothing you can do about the divorce.”
But Thalia cut her off. “I don’t care. If you can’t help, I’ll figure it out myself. I don’t care who he’s with, Miya, Crystal, whoever. As long as the divorce goes smoothly, nothing else matters to me.”
Thalia, you can’t just do this,” Helen said, her voice rising with worry. “Darion and Miya absolutely can’t get tangled up together.
They’re relatives. If anyone finds out, everyone will gossip about the Blackburns. Just hold on a bit, okay? Let me try to think of something.”
Hearing how anxious Helen sounded, Thalia’s tone softened. “Alright, Mom. Let’s try to come up with a solution together.”
‘Alright, alright, but you need to calm down first. Don’t let yourself get too emotional,” Helen said, doing her best to keep Thalia steady.
“Yeah, Thalia replied.
After hanging up, Thalia felt her emotions had settled down quite a bit.
It was a relief not to carry all the burden herself anymore.
Just then, Wendy came back, her arms loaded with Thalia’s favorite snacks. “Thalia, babe, you skipped breakfast again Eat something on the way, or you’ll be starving at work,”
“Thanks, Wendy,” Thalia said, her lips curling into a grateful smile.
Thalia couldn’t help but smile.
“Come on, don’t be so formal with me,” Wendy said as she started the car and drove off

At the Blackburn Group. Darion held a cigarette between his fingers
His sharp, handsome face was icy and brooding, and his pitch-black eyes were completely devoid of warmth
Ryan knocked and walked in. “Mr. Blackburn, Wendy really did send people to the village, just like you said I’ve already made sure everyone keeps quiet, just like you asked.”
“Alright.” Darion replied, his tone cold. Then he said, “Let that Brown woman go”
“Yes, sir,” Ryan said.
Darion took a deep drag from his cigarette, blowing out a thin stream of smoke. The air around him felt icy, and the whole office was shrouded in a cold, oppressive vibe.
He opened his drawer, pulled out a manila folder, and took out a photo.
