The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 318

Ultimately, the pathetic scene ended with Parker being physically dragged away by the bodyguards.

Inside the car.

Since they were short on space, the original driver was dismissed. Silas's assistant took the wheel, Nora slipped into the passenger seat, and the two patients shared the back.

Cassidy flashed a radiant smile. "Thank you, Director King."

"We both got what we wanted. No need to thank me," Silas replied smoothly.

"The proposal you requested will be on your desk within three days."

"There's no rush. Your health is the priority, Director Quinn."

"It's my absolute honor that you took time out of your busy schedule to help me out. Rest assured, I will put every ounce of my effort into securing your deal."

Their business formalities were so thick it was suffocating.

Sitting in the front, Nora was utterly speechless and couldn't get a word in edgewise.

She had no choice but to sit there and listen.

"I apologize that you had to witness my messy family drama."

"Haha, think nothing of it."

"I've just been on a short fuse lately," Cassidy added casually, trying to save a little face. "They say a pregnant or menopausal woman is a terrifying force of nature. I hope you understand."

"You're joking, Director Quinn." The corner of Silas's mouth twitched upward. "If you were walking alone down a dark alley at night, would you be terrified of running into a pregnant or menopausal woman?"

He didn't wait for her answer. "I highly doubt it. You'd be terrified of a drunk or a violent vagrant."

Cassidy paused, slightly taken aback.

She seemed at a loss for words, sinking into silence for a moment before finally offering, "You are a very wise man, Director King."

The rest of the ride was blessedly quiet.

When the car pulled up to the Quantum Tech building, Silas's assistant helped him out.
