Eric’s face was pale, but at the thought of Faye, he still sent a voice message. “Kelly, I don’t want a divorce. Everything that belongs to you, I’ll give you. I’ll sign the contract, but Regina was the one who hurt you. As for the compensation the Lynches should pay, we won’t let them off the hook.”
He was a little nervous, afraid Kelly would take the bait, and demanded a high compensation from the Lynches.
“Soon,” Kelly replied.
She typed. “First, pay what you owe me. Then we can talk about the compensation from the Lynches. They’ve hurt me, and I won’t let them go. But right now, I want to resolve the property dispute between us.”
Eric rubbed the bridge of his nose and looked at Clarissa. “Kelly only wants her family’s house and the relocation funds. If we don’t give those to her, she won’t even talk to us.”
Clarissa weighed her options. “Then just give it to her.”
“Give her what? You sold the house and took the money,” Eric snapped, losing his composure.
Clarissa knew this wasn’t the time to provoke Eric. She smiled and softened her tone, “As long as you don’t divorce her, you don’t have to give her anything.”
She now saw that making Eric and Kelly divorce could be troublesome. “I got Regina to agree to temporarily dissolve your marriage just to keep Kelly calm.”
In Clarissa’s mind, as long as Eric and Kelly didn’t divorce, there were countless ways Kelly could meet an untimely death. As long as Kelly died within the marriage, everything would go back to Eric, just like before.
Kelly had no other family. Even if her auntie Coco appeared one day, it wouldn’t cause any problems. Money could buy off emotionally detached relatives.
In short, Clarissa didn’t want Eric to divorce Kelly.
She wanted Kelly dead.
“But after all I’ve done, why wouldn’t Kelly want a divorce? She’s resolute,” Eric muttered while cradling his forehead, knowing Kelly was determined to end their marriage.
“The divorce agreement Kelly gave you–sign it with a different style than you usually use. You can tell her that the house, the money, and all those things–you’ll try to get them for her as soon as possible. For now, distract her with the divorce; keep her focused on getting compensation from my family,” Clarissa advised, each suggestion more vicious than the last.
“What if Kelly signs the divorce paper and divorces me later?” Eric asked worriedly.
“Without the City Hall notarization, you can just claim that the signature isn’t yours. What can they do about it? Even handwriting analysis won’t help–it won’t be valid,” Clarissa scoffed.
“As long as we get Regina out and have her take care of Faye, if Kelly continues pushing for the divorce, I can help create some joint marital debt she can’t pay off. Once the divorce is final, not only will she probably lose her parents‘ money, but she could be left with enormous debt. Do you think she’ll dare to get

Eric gasped in fear, horrified by the maliciousness of her schemes.

“Without being ruthless, you’ll never stand firm. You need to understand that,” Clarissa glanced at the time, standing up. “People with a conscience can’t reach the top.”
“Time is running out. You need to handle this quickly, or I’ll have to step in myself,” she threatened, turning to leave.
Eric furrowed his brow as he watched her go. This woman’s tactics were ruthless–no wonder she was able to lead the Lynches to where they were today. She was truly Beau’s daughter.
Seaville Hospital.
To Kelly’s surprise, Eric agreed to the divorce and signed the agreement.
He was willing to sacrifice everything for Regina.
“Kelly.” At six in the afternoon, Eric waited for Kelly outside the hospital staff cafeteria.
“Sign this.” Kelly came with the contract, handing it to Eric.
Eric’s palms were sweaty, and he instinctively tried to avoid the conversation. “You must be hungry, right? Let’s eat first. The pork carnitas chef hasn’t changed in years. It’s still the same taste you love.”
Kelly didn’t speak, her gaze fixed firmly on Eric, afraid he might change his mind.
Right now, she just wanted to be free. This marriage suffocated her.
They had separated for five years. This marriage had kept her alive in Solmaris, but it was now suffocating her.
