The Masterpiece of Leaving：Prepared A Perfect Stand-In For Him novel Chapter 10

Lysander stepped onto the balcony and dialed Navier's number, intending to convince her to play along with his divorce scheme.

But after countless attempts, all he got was the same robotic voice message:

"Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off..."

A flicker of unease settled in his chest.

Brow furrowed, Lysander pulled up WhatsApp to message her instead.

But a glaring red exclamation mark popped up.

"Goddammit, Navier! What the hell are you playing at?!" he muttered, furiously typing. "It's the middle of the night—is this really the time for one of your little tantrums?"

Fighting back his growing agitation and panic, he called his secretary.

"Nick, contact Navier immediately. Tell her I need to see her ASAP."

Following the directive, Nick mobilized multiple people to call and message Navier, but no one got through.

"Sir," he reported back nervously, "Mrs. Vanderbilt—she's completely unreachable. Should we launch a more thorough investigation?"

"NO! Let her sulk all she wants!" Lysander snapped before ending the call.

If she didn't want to face him now, then maybe she should never show her face again!

Seething with anger, he stormed into the living room, intending to clean up the broken bottle. That's when the paper on the coffee table caught his eye.

"Divorce papers..."

Lysander froze, his breath coming in uneven gasps.

"What the hell? When did Navier and I get divorced?"

He snatched up the paper with trembling hands, flipping it open to see his own photograph next to the official court seal.

He had wanted a divorce, yes. Yet somehow, the reality of it left a bitter taste in his mouth.

"She loved me so much... how could she divorce me this easily?"
