Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 862

The anniversary party had ended in chaos, with Kathleen being forcibly sent back to the Sullivan family estate.

Teague never once made an appearance.

He was, she was told, out of the country on business.

For the next two days, Kathleen tried to contact her husband, but his phone was either turned off or unreachable.

In a fit of rage, she smashed two phones at home.

The servants all walked on eggshells around her, terrified of becoming the target of her fury.

A week passed like this.

Then, on an ordinary morning, as Kathleen finished breakfast and prepared to go out,

Teague's assistant suddenly appeared.

After a brief, polite greeting, he handed her a file.

Kathleen opened it, confused.

The next second, the words "Divorce Agreement" burned into her eyes.

For a moment, her mind went completely blank.

A second, a minute, maybe longer passed

before she slowly lifted her head and looked at the assistant.

"What is the meaning of this?" she asked, her voice dangerously low.

"Mr. Sullivan asked me to give this to you," the assistant replied in a strictly professional tone.

"Go back and tell Teague that if he wants a divorce, he can come talk to me himself! What's the point of sending papers? Does he really think I'll sign them?"

"Very well, I will relay your message to Mr. Sullivan." The assistant calmly picked up the papers she had thrown in his face, turned, and left.

The moment he was gone, a flicker of panic crossed Kathleen's face.

She immediately called Corley and explained the situation.

"...Your father wants to divorce me!"

On the other end, Corley was calm.

He waited for her to finish venting before speaking slowly. "Okay, I understand."
