The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 461

He was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday. The light gray suit was crisp and sharp, perfectly accentuating his broad shoulders and narrow waist. Even though his face bore traces of exhaustion, it couldn't mask his inherent aristocratic aura.

Strikingly attractive.

Standing this close, I faintly caught the scent of disinfectant radiating from Harrison.

Yet, this was clearly the outfit he wore last night. He had spent the night at Zoey's place—how did she not know to get him a clean change of clothes?

At that moment, Ferris frowned slightly, locking eyes with Vivian. The room fell completely silent. I could hear my own heartbeat, frantic and erratic.

Ferris had transferred Eden Gardens to me on his own accord. Why would he do that?

When he had lost control and held me last night, he claimed that he hadn't signed those papers and that it wasn't his true intention.

So what was his intention? Was he truly unwilling to divorce me?

"I will get a divorce," Ferris said, his low voice ringing out with firm resolve. "But even if we divorce, I can't let her leave with nothing. She was by my side for three years. The Sterling family isn't short on money, so just let her have it."

"Not short on money? Ferris, do you even know what you're saying? Is this just a little bit of money? Eden Gardens is prime real estate worth millions! Yes, Selena was with you for three years, but what exactly did she do for you during that time? She never gave the Sterling family an heir, and when you were in danger, she wouldn't even step up to help you. She's not even as useful as your colleagues. What right does a woman like her have to take our family's assets?" Vivian's voice pitched higher with agitation.

Ferris cut her off sharply. "Don't speak about her like that. Even if she doesn't have grand achievements, she put in the hard work. Besides, she's in a tough spot. She'll need a lot of financial support after the divorce."

...

Ever since Lucille and Vivian completely fell out last time, they had thrown all basic decency out the window. They shrieked over each other, turning the small office into an utter war zone.

But I only heard the single most crucial sentence.

Ferris said he would get a divorce.

He would get a divorce.
