I glanced at Patrick from the corner of my eyes and smiled faintly, "Yes, I'll get nothing."
At this time, unexpectedly, I felt a little happy in my heart.
Seeing that Patrick finally stopped acting, I was happy, thinking that in that case, I didn't have to be attached to him anymore.
However, hearing my answer, Patrick seemed to be a little surprised as he said, "Charlotte, do you agree?"
"Yes. Mr. Cowell, what else do you want? If you like the house of mine in Unit No.1, City Y, then I'll give it to you as well."
I looked at him and said in an alienated tone.
Patrick frowned deeply and said after a long while, "No need."
While the staff was writing an agreement, Patrick added, "Forget it. I'll give her 20% of Towering High Group's shares as compensation."
His words shocked me.
But, I realized soon that it should be Patrick's new trick.
I immediately refused, "I don't want it." "20% of Towering High Group's shares..." "Its value will be at least 10 billion dollars." "Once I accept so much money, I indeed can't break up with Patrick."
The staff looked at me with suspicion.
It semed that it was the first time that he had seen someone refusing to accept money.
"Charlotte Archer, for the thing I give to you, you have to take it. Otherwise, never should you want to divorce me!"
Patrick spoke in a commanding tone.
I looked at him with ridicule on my face, "Mr. Cowell, what are you planning again? Why are you rushing to force me to accept your money?"
"Charlotte Archer..."
"Mr. Cowell, I don't need your compensation. As long as you can divorce me, I'll be thankful."
We applied for a divorce in an office for VIP where there was only one staff who helped us write a divorce agreement.
He looked at us, feeling puzzled.
Especially when he looked at me, he seemed to be looking at a freak.
Patrick was persistent for a while. And I refused over and over again. In the end, he compromised. "Okay. Then I will do as you wish."
The staff finished drafting an agreement and showed it to us.
We didn't have any children. And I didn't want Patrick's money. Naturally, we didn't have any conflict or dispute.
So both of us okayed the agreement. Then I picked up the pen first and signed my name in the Name of Woman.
Patrick looked at me with a pen in his hand as his eyes were full of curiosity.
I didn't know what he meant. Nor was I in the mood to ponder on it.
Finally, Patrick signed his name on the agreement.
When I saw him signing his name in the Name of Man, I curled up the corner of my mouth slightly, pretending to be very calm. But in fact, I was in pain in secret as if someone were pinching me ferociously.
After signing his name on the agreement, Patrick turned to look at me.
He saw me smiling.
He, who had been pursing his thin lips, suddenly curled up his lips, revealing a cold smile, "Charlotte Archer. As you wish.'
I said firmly, "Yes. As I wish."
After we confirmed the agreement, the staff prepared it in duplicate and placed them in front of the two of us. After that, he took away the marriage certificates in front of us and quickly replaced them with two divorce certificates.
I took the divorce certificate in my hand and walked out with Patrick.
The corridor of the Civil Affairs Bureau was only a few meters long. But I wished that it could be a little longer.
A young man and a young woman, who were here to get a marriage certificate, walked over to us as they snuggled in each other's arms, looking so happy.
This scene reminded me of the scene where I had got a marriage certificate with Patrick.
The couple who I had seen just now probably could have a long- term relationship after getting married. However, the marriage between Patrick and I was nothing but a farce.
Finally, we reached the door.
I turned around and said to Patrick, "Mr. Cowell, never will I see you again."
After that, I turned around and left.
