Percival's icy gaze remained heavily fixed on Chloe, laced with mockery, as if he believed he had seen completely through her.
Chloe didn't bat an eye. "My time is limited, so hurry up."
Looking at her completely unruffled expression, the anger in Preston's heart finally boiled over:
"Chloe, I hope you don't regret this!"
Chloe kept a cold face, turning her head away and refusing to look at him.
Soon, the butler walked in holding two copies of the divorce agreement and the prenuptial agreement, handing them all to her.
"Mrs. Haye... Ms. Reed, please look these over and see if there are any issues."
Chloe picked up the agreement Preston had made her sign before they got married.
She already knew what it contained, but after opening it and skimming just a couple of lines, she froze.
What was going on?
Percival noticed her expression and scoffed coldly. "You signed that prenuptial agreement yourself. What problem could you possibly have with it? The Hayes family supported you for three years; walking away with nothing is exactly what you deserve!"
It was true.
Back then, she had heard with her own ears Percival telling Preston to make her sign an agreement stating that she would leave with absolutely no assets in the event of a divorce.
But why did the property division on this divorce agreement stipulate a fifty-fifty split?
Not just the shares in Vantage Corp, but even all the real estate and assets under Preston's name were divided equally.
Seeing her expression grow increasingly strange, Percival snatched the divorce agreement. Upon seeing it, his face changed drastically.
He then grabbed the prenuptial agreement. After reading the contents, his complexion became incredibly grim, and he harshly questioned the butler:
"Who drafted this agreement? Did you bring the wrong one?!"
The butler looked troubled. "Mr. Hayes, this... is indeed the one Ms. Reed signed back then."
Percival's gaze immediately shot toward Preston with ferocity.
"What exactly is going on here?!"
A dead silence instantly fell over the room.
After a long while, Chloe was the first to speak:
"Preston, why did you do this?"
Preston looked up at her, his tone flat. "Why are you acting just like Grandpa? Isn't it completely normal to split marital assets evenly?"
When Chloe didn't answer, he suddenly raised an eyebrow and let out a faint chuckle.
"However, you'd better think carefully before you sign. It's not too late to back out now..."
"Sign it, and you only get half. Don't sign it, and you have it all."
The moment he finished speaking, Chloe had already grabbed the pen and signed her name on the divorce agreement without a second of hesitation.
Ultimately, deep down, he firmly believed she had saved him back then just to marry him, and that she had married him for his wealth.
But she was never short on money. She would have had to be out of her mind to risk her life to push him out of harm's way just for that.
