The news about my divorce from Nicholas had spread quickly and caused quite an uproar.
It wasn’t due to the divorce itself, but because Nicholas had done what he said he would. The night of our divorce, he lit the city up with fireworks.
He was doing it because he wanted to show me that all of his affection would be directed at Jasmine
now.
The fireworks were much grander than the ones during our honeymoon. The streets were filled with people who had stopped to admire the fireworks. Everyone marveled over how beautiful the fireworks
show was.
The media had also fought to cover Nicholas‘ extravagant lifestyle. Many media outlets were spinning the story around claiming that they were each other’s light during their childhood. There were also remarks about how Jasmine’s savior had finally arrived and was ready to marry her.
Because of the strong media courage, our divorce was also quickly leaked to the media, causing an uproar across social media.
As someone who wasn’t working in the entertainment industry, I was supposed to fade into the background after Zachary and Cindy’s divorce case came to an end. But because of Nicholas, I had once again become a hot topic over meals.

Yasmine shook a bottle of champagne and pointed it toward us. Pete immediately stood in front of me and gritted his teeth as the drink was sprayed all over his clothes. Then, he immediately picked up another bottle and shook it to attack back.
I didn’t have many friends, and I had only planned to invite Yasmine over to celebrate my birthday with me. However, Pete insisted on tagging along.
He booked an entire restaurant that was clearly too big for three people, and the two of them were currently running around the restaurant. They seemed quite happy.
I still felt a bit dazed as I hadn’t gotten over the fact that I had just divorced Nicholas today.
He had used such a bitter tone, warning me that he would make my life miserable. The memory was freshly imprinted in my mind, but…
Nicholas wasn’t shocked by her actions. He had even promised her on the spot, saying, “We’ll choose a good date for our marriage. Today is an unlucky date!”
