Chapter 250 The Weight of Freedom

The three heiresses stood frozen in place.

Roxanne and Anya were so furious that they were about to run after Evan.

But the next second, Hazel suddenly collapsed to the ground.

“Hazel!”

Their faces changed instantly.

They shouted her name and rushed forward to help her up.

Hazel’s face was pale. She waved her hand weakly.

“I’m fine… It’s just…”

Her throat moved as if she wanted to say something, but the words would not come.

Her eyes fell on the divorce certificate in her hand. It was just a thin piece of paper, yet at this moment it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. She couldn’t even lift it.

“Roxanne… Anya… I feel awful…” She looked at them, her voice hoarse. “Why does it hurt so much after getting divorced?”

She had prepared herself for everything. Logically, the divorce should have felt like nothing-no pain, no

impact.

The one who should be suffering was Evan, so why was he completely calm while she felt this

miserable?

She wanted to cry, but no tears came. It felt as if something had been ripped out of her chest, as though

she had lost the most important thing in her life.

Why did it feel like this?

Seeing Hazel sitting there in a daze, looking completely lost, Roxanne and Anya exchanged glances.

Neither of them had ever been divorced. Naturally, they couldn’t possibly understand what Hazel was feeling right now.

Even if they wanted to comfort her, they had no idea what to say.

People often said the courthouse was a place where all the emotions of life were on display-joy and sorrow, unions and separations.

Because of that, the staff had long been used to reactions like Hazel’s.

Even so, a few of them couldn’t help rolling their eyes.

What was wrong with this woman? She clearly didn’t want the divorce, yet she had been the one who

filed for it. Now that it was finalized, she was the one falling apart?

“Hazel, it’s fine. He dared to divorce you. That’s his loss. Once Mr. Solomon’s people show up at his door, let’s see if he can still act so tough!”

“Exactly! He must have a death wish. Divorcing us? He won’t even know how he died!”

Roxanne and Anya were furious, venting their anger one after another.

Just then, another car sped toward the courthouse.

Two people got out. It was Stefan and Cynthia.

“Where’s Evan? He hasn’t arrived yet, right?”

They knew today was the day of the divorce and had rushed over specifically to stop it. But there had been traffic control on the roads, delaying them until now.

Instead, what they saw was Hazel sitting on the ground in silence, while Roxanne and Anya avoided their

eyes.

Immediately, Stefan and Cynthia felt their hearts drop. Something was wrong.

“You’re asking about the gentleman who came to finalize a divorce just now, right?” a courthouse staff member said. “He has already divorced Ms. Solberg.”

The words hit like a thunderbolt.

Stefan and Cynthia both shook violently, their minds going blank.

They were too late.

Cynthia burst into tears on the spot. “My poor Evan! Why did you divorce Evan?”

She screamed at Hazel like a madwoman. The moment she finished shouting, she fainted.

Even Stefan was stunned. His body swayed, and he could barely stay on his feet.

“Dad… Mom…” Hazel tried to walk over and say something.

But Stefan shoved her away. “Don’t call me Dad! I don’t have a daughter like you! You knew exactly what would happen to Evan if you divorced him, and you still went through with it? You’ve killed him!”

“I…” Hazel was completely at a loss for words.

She desperately wanted to say that Evan had truly wanted the divorce too, but when the words reached her lips, she simply could not force them out.

“This is over! Even I can’t fix this now! You personally destroyed such a good husband. Just wait–you’ll regret this for the rest of your life!”

With Stefan’s furious shouts echoing in the air, the three heiresses slowly began to come out of the

emotional haze of the divorce. And in its place, a cold, creeping fear rose silently inside them.

Just as Hazel and the others assumed Evan was now facing mortal danger, Evan had already walked out of the courthouse.

The moment the wealthy girls waiting not far away saw the divorce certificate in his hand, a thunderous wave of cheers erupted.
