No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 79

The next morning, Claudia woke up to a message from York.

He had checked out early.

She took a deep breath, pushing aside the turmoil in her heart, and threw herself into her work.

A week passed quickly.

The moment Claudia returned to Capital City, she got a call from the auction house. The appraisal for her mother's jewelry was complete.

After discussing it with her parents, she set the reserve price at one and a half billion and commissioned Glory Investment Bank to handle the auction.

With a minimum of one and a half billion, she could not only secure her divorce from York and escape her miserable life, but she could also ensure her brother finished his studies at the elite academy and improve her parents' quality of life.

From now on, her only goal was to work hard and earn enough money to buy back the jewelry within her parents' lifetime.

The next morning, Claudia went to work as usual, only to be summoned to the hospital director's office.

The director respectfully addressed her as 'Mrs. Ferguson' and tactfully suggested she resign.

Claudia didn't make it difficult for him. She politely excused herself and left his office, her heart sinking to the floor.

Old Mr. Ferguson had given her a week to quit, threatening to call the director himself if she didn't.

Clearly, he had followed through on his threat.

As Claudia left the director's office, she ran into York, Ann, and their son at the elevator.

She froze.

York was holding the child, with Ann nestled affectionately at his side.

To any observer, they looked like a happy family of three.

Though she was determined to leave him, the sight still sent a shard of pain through her heart.

The moment their eyes met, York's expression tightened.

If she hadn't deliberately called him that night, she would never have known that he had no intention of divorcing Claudia.

Not only did he not want a divorce, he wanted that woman to have his child to solidify their marriage.

She couldn't just follow York's plan anymore. She had to find a way to make Claudia leave him on her own accord. Otherwise, she would never have her chance.

York went to Claudia's department but couldn't find her. When he called her phone, she surprisingly answered.

Claudia was standing by the small river in the park behind the inpatient building. She watched him run toward her.

For most of their lives, she had run into his arms countless times.

When she was happy, she laughed. When she was sad, she cried.

But she had never stopped running to him.

As long as she could be in his arms—even if he was annoyed, even if he warned her off, even if he yelled at her—she had felt pure joy.
