The Don's Orphan Wife Is A Mafia Empire Princess (Elara) novel Chapter 14

Chapter 3 So That’s the Plan

“Evelyn Hart, you’ve gone too far!”

Ethan Miller warned her, but Evelyn Hart just shrugged. “If we don’t get a divorce, I can go even further.”

“Fine! I’ll let you have your way! Don’t regret it later!”

Outside the City Clerk’s Office.

Ethan Miller stared intently at Evelyn Hart. “You can still change your mind now. I’ll pretend you never said those words. But if you go through that door, no matter how much you regret it later, I won’t take you back.”

Evelyn Hart thought he was being naggy and continued walking inside.

“Evelyn Hart, after the divorce, without my permission, you won’t be able to see our son again!”

Evelyn Hart had already handed over the things needed for the divorce to the staff. Ethan Miller followed her in with a

cold face.

He was waiting for Evelyn Hart to regret her decision.

“According to the current marriage law in this city, even if you both agree to a divorce, you still need a one-month cooling-off period. If you two really want to get divorced, come back in a month,” the staff said.

Hmph.

Ethan Miller sneered. So, that was Evelyn Hart’s clever plan.

“You knew all along that we couldn’t get divorced right away and were deliberately using divorce to threaten me, didn’t you? Evelyn Hart, you’re really disgusting!”

Evelyn Hart found it unbelievable.

She suddenly understood that people can actually laugh out of anger.

She didn’t want to waste any more time with Ethan Miller. “Think whatever you want. Remember to come and get the

divorce certificate in a month.”

Evelyn Hart rented a new house, packed all her luggage, and moved to the new place. In the past few days, she hadn’t been idle and had started looking for a new job.

She unexpectedly received a call from her supervisor.

“I heard you’re looking for a job? Have you finally come to your senses and left that small hospital?”

Her supervisor’s voice was full of anticipation.

When she graduated with her Ph.D., her supervisor had introduced her to a world-renowned top hospital abroad. It had the best teaching staff, and both its clinical and research work were top-notch.

And she had successfully passed the entrance exam.

Unfortunately, she w

resolutely gave up ti

egnant at that time, and Ethan Miller’s career was going through a rough patch. She portunity at the foreign hospital and joined the hospital under the Miller Group.

She used her reputation to help Ethan Miller expand his network and attract projects, which helped him out of his

difficulties.

Back then, their relationship had been very good.

But she didn’t know when it started that there seemed to be a mountain between them. Even though she tried hard to

cross it to reach him, he kept adding more and more barriers.

She was tired, worn out, and had given up.

“Caleb, you didn’t call just to laugh at me, did you?” Evelyn Hart said with a bitter smile. Who would have thought that her teacher had once thought so highly of her, but she had turned out to be the most disappointing.

Caleb Gray took off his reading glasses, rubbed his eyes, and said irritably, “Do you think your teacher is the kind of person who kicks someone when they’re down? That hospital still hasn’t given up on you. I’ve been stalling for you these past few years. Think it over again and see if you want to accept the offer.”

“Evelyn, this is your last chance. If you give it up, that hospital won’t come looking for you again,” Caleb Gray said regretfully. “You were such a promising talent. Why did you have to be so stubborn and insist on getting married and having a child?”

Evelyn Hart hung her head in shame.

“Caleb, I want to go.”

Caleb Gray was still sighing on the other end. “There are so many people who would kill for this opportunity, and you’re being so picky. I’m really wasting my efforts on… What did you say?”

“I’m going!”

Evelyn Hart’s tone was extremely firm.

This made Caleb Gray suspicious. He couldn’t believe it and asked, “But what about your husband and child…”

“I’ll get the divorce certificate in a month, and then I can leave at any time.”

After confirming with Caleb Gray, Evelyn Hart also asked him to mention to the hospital director about approving her resignation. When Caleb Gray heard that his most disappointing student was still being blocked from going abroad, he immediately called the director and gave him a good scolding.

The director had no choice but to ask Evelyn Hart to come and get her resignation certificate.

When Evelyn Hart went to the hospital, she unexpectedly ran into Ethan Miller picking up Leah Foster from the hospital.

Seeing her, Leah Foster was surprised. “Dr. Hart, are you back to work?”

She glanced at Ethan Miller beside her and smiled gently. “It’s good that you’re back to work. I feel so bad for affecting your work. Are you and Ethan getting back together?”

She patted her chest. “You have no idea how guilty I’ve felt, worrying that you and Ethan would really get a divorce.”

Ethan Miller looked at Evelyn Hart coldly. “If you’re done making a scene, go home and help William with his

“I’m just the bad guy, u fired. I won’t interfere in the affairs of your happy family of three anymore.”

With that, Evelyn Hart turned and left.

Ethan Miller frowned. In his memory, Evelyn Hart had never spoken to him so harshly. She had always been quiet and gentle. Whenever he needed her, she was always there.

When had she become so sharp-tongued and unreasonable?

Noticing that someone was taking a photo with their phone, he grabbed Evelyn Hart’s wrist and led her to the office. “Let’s talk.”

Evelyn Hart didn’t want to have a conflict with Ethan Miller at the moment.

She still hadn’t gotten her resignation certificate, and she was worried that if she angered Ethan Miller, he might hold

it back and not let her have it.

In the office.

Ethan Miller casually sat on the sofa and said to Evelyn Hart in a deep voice, “If you’re trying to protest because you think I’ve been in touch with Leah Foster too much, I’ll be more careful in the future. But I’m still her friend, and I won’t cut off all contact with her.”

Evelyn Hart almost laughed out loud. What a condescending concession.

Ethan Miller continued, “I’m making this concession this time, but it won’t happen again.”

Evelyn Hart laughed outright.

She changed to a more relaxed sitting position and her voice was laced with sarcasm. “You’d better not make any concessions. Just get the divorce, and you can keep in touch with Miss Foster as you like. We won’t have anything to do with each other in the future anyway.”

Ethan Miller really didn’t like Evelyn Hart’s current attitude. Anger flashed in his eyes. “Evelyn Hart, do you really think I can’t do without you? If you weren’t William Miller’s biological mother, someone else would have taken your place long ago!”

Ethan Miller spoke without thinking, hoping to see Evelyn Hart get hurt.

But Evelyn Hart’s expression didn’t change at all. “Then why don’t you use your connections and get a divorce from me right away? Mr. Miller has so much power. You can’t tell me you can’t even handle such a small thing?”

She sneered. “Mr. Miller, I’m waiting for you to call and finalize the divorce.”

With that, she left.

Ethan Miller couldn’t believe that even though he had made so many concessions, Evelyn Hart still didn’t budge. His expression gradually turned cold.

She won’t be swayed by either kindness or force?

He was going to see if she would still be so tough if she couldn’t find a job in this field.
