She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 555

"Miles, I've already signed it. Now I'm just waiting on you."

Miles elegantly dabbed his thin lips with a napkin. Without so much as a glance in her direction, he went upstairs.

Seeing him ignore her and the divorce papers, Quinn grabbed the signed document and followed him to the second floor.

"Miles, our contract has expired. How much longer are you going to drag this out?"

He walked into the study, and she trailed right behind him.

It was as if he had been waiting for her. The moment she stepped inside, the door automatically clicked shut.

Quinn's eyes lit up when she saw another copy of the divorce agreement resting on the desk. She hurried over. "So you've already prepared it."

She brought her own pen, ready to sign the document he had laid out, but Miles smoothly pulled it away.

"What are you doing?"

Miles spoke with cool arrogance. "Quinn, I told you, I decide when we get divorced."

Anger flared in Quinn's eyes. "What is that supposed to mean? Didn't we already agree on this? Are you going back on your word again?"

Miles didn't see it as going back on his word. The first time he wanted to end things, his grandmother pointed out the contract hadn't expired, so he had no choice but to wait.

Now that it had expired, his partnership with Lyonne Global and Mr. Pierce gave him pause. At the very least, he had to wait until the Pierces left the country.

He couldn't afford a scandal about his broken marriage leaking during the critical early stages of the project. It contradicted the image of integrity he had built for the Pierces.

If they could pause things for three months back then, they could certainly wait a bit longer now.

"I didn't say I wouldn't sign. It's just not the right time. As you know, the partnership between the York Corporation and Lyonne Global is just getting off the ground. Mr. Pierce values his partners' integrity more than anything."

"If he finds out right now that we're just a fake couple, and that the moment the deal was secured, we chose to divorce... what do you think he'll think? Why would Lyonne Global maintain a long-term partnership with a company whose CEO faked his own marriage?"

Hunter had just finished dinner. Seeing it was Mrs. York calling, he cleared his throat and quickly answered.

"Mrs. York?"

"Miles said he can't sign the divorce papers right now because it'll affect the partnership with Lyonne Global?"

Hunter was a little stunned. The boss had actually used that excuse to delay the divorce?

It was true that the partnership relied heavily on integrity.

But as long as they didn't announce the divorce publicly and just played the part of a happily married couple a little longer, it wouldn't be impossible to hide.

Realizing he had to back his boss's play, his mind raced, and he spun a half-truth.

"Mrs. York, the partnership with Lyonne Global is absolutely critical right now. We're in the most sensitive phase of pushing it forward. The framework agreement is signed, and the initial investments for the production lines are just starting to land.
