After knowing that Leanna requested a divorce, as her best friend, Zoe Hart took about ten minutes of her time cursing the heck out of Aidan before she finally asked, “That b*stard really didn’t offer you a single penny? Do you know how much he pays those models he’s screwing around with? He’s actually such a miser to his own wife.” “He’s not a miser. Besides, I have been taking quite an amount of money from him these last three years. It’s actually quite fortunate that he didn’t want it all back.’ “You can’t possibly think like that. You guys are husband and wife; his money is yours and your money is still yours! Besides, he screws you for free everyday, so what’s wrong with spending a bit of his money?” Leanna felt her eye twitch. “Can you tone it down?” After Zoe calmed down, she responded, “I apologize for not controlling my rage.” While lying on the couch, Leanna cursed angrily as she could not suppress the urge anymore. “Do you know what that son of a b*tch told me today when I asked for the divorce? He asked me how much I wanted from him! He didn’t even care to glance at the divorce paper and yet, he had the audacity to assume my greed over his assets? Did he have to go that far?” “That reminds me, why did you want a divorce? You should just drag this on and see who gives up first.” After hearing that, Leanna composed herself and replied, “Oh. That’s because Mia’s pregnant.” Mia Clark was a model on the rise recently and she had been getting a bit too intimate with Aidan to the point where even the blind knew something was up. After marrying for three years, Leanna knew just how much he detested her as it was considered very generous of him to come home twice every month. Even when they were doing the deed, it was purely physical without an ounce of feeling. He wanted to make her suffer by any means possible. Since Mia was not the first woman to have intimate relationships with him, Leanna did not really care for this. Yet, this all changed when she was happily picking out a present for their third anniversary a week prior before Mia suddenly appeared in front of her with a pregnancy report and stated haughtily, “I’m pregnant now, so it’s time for you to vacate the position of Mrs. Pearson to me.” After seeing the pregnancy report, Leanna found that the years of deceiving herself had come back to haunt her. Those memories washed over her as if they were telling her something. Leanna, don’t you think that this woman in front of you is shameless and disgusting? But wait. Didn’t you get married to Aidan by using the same method? A child for a marriage in return. You made him feel disgusted too. Now, it was just another person using her methods. However, Zoe was livid upon hearing this. “How are these two matters the same? When you were married to Aidan, he was still single back then. On the other hand, Mia knew about the two of you, yet she chose to do this. She’s just a shameless hussy!” “Whatever. It all doesn’t matter anyway,” Leanna concluded. “Actually, I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in the three years I’ve been married to him. No matter how you spin it, he was indeed forced to marry me back then. It’s quite nice now that we’re divorced as I don’t owe him anything.” After insulting both Mia and Aidan for half an hour, Zoe finally brought the sleepy Leanna to the bedroom. “You can stay here for now since my boyfriend isn’t around anyway. I’m actually kind of scared to live in such a huge house alone.” A yawning Leanna nodded. “Goodnight.” The next afternoon, the divorce agreement appeared on Aidan’s office table. With Leanna’s signature at the bottom of the paper, it felt like a protest remark at him. Jonathan Stoll looked at his employer’s stern expression before he stepped up and said, “President Pearson, I’ve just confirmed with the personnel at Castor Villa. They mentioned that the madam moved out yesterday night. Besides her personal belongings, she didn’t take anything else.” Closing the divorce documents, Aidan threw it to one side. “Moving out without taking a single thing? Tell me, what game do you think she’s playing at this time?” Yet, Jonathan did not respond to him. It’s not like she’s my wife. How would I know anything about that? Since he did not expect to hear anything constructive from Jonathan, he faintly instructed, “You can leave now.” After taking two steps forward, Jonathan turned back and informed, “President Pearson, the custom necklace from Aeras has arrived. Do you still…” This necklace was supposed to be a gift from Aidan to Leanna for their third anniversary. Clearly, it looked like they would not be needing it anymore. “Dump it.” There were no emotions found in those words. Jonathan replied, “Understood.” After he exited the room, Aidan picked up the divorce agreement again and looked at the signature before sneering coldy. A woman who would sacrifice herself just to play out a perfect ploy to trap me into saving her… and forcing me to marry her because of a child… How could a person as evil and calculative as her ever have a turn of heart? She must have had a new intention, a new goal per se. Not hesitating to crush the document into a bundle, he promptly threw it into the trash can. … On the other hand, Leanna, who had been waiting at home for a few days now, did not receive any reply from Aidan as her message was left unseen. On the first day, she wrote, ‘Did you receive the divorce documents? I’ve already signed it. Please tell me when you have the time so that we can go to the Civil Bureau Affairs to officiate it. Okay?’ The text was polite and caring. On the second day came another message. ‘Hello. Did you see my message? Is there anything you’re unhappy about the divorce terms?’ The words were bolder as it prodded at his reaction. On the third day… ‘President Pearson, I know you’re a busy man, but could you please take some time out to go through this divorce with me?’ Leanna still chose to maintain her patience. On the fourth day… ‘Aidan Pearson, can you not drag this on any longer than it needs to? If you really hate my guts that much, then just get on with this and I promise you that we’ll never see each other again. Thank you!!!’ If I can’t bear it anymore, then I simply don’t have to. On the fifth day… ‘You have been temporarily blocked by this user. Please try again later.’ Hmph. B*stard. Placing her phone down, Leanna immediately stood up and decided to head to Patheon Club. However, it seemed that she was out of luck as she failed to bump into Aidan. Instead, she bumped into his soon-to-be wife. Mia, who was originally here to eat with her friends, arrived at the entrance only to see Leanna standing there. With a sneer laugh, she walked over in her heels and mocked, “Oh, no. Don’t tell me you’re still not over Aidan and are here to search for him?” Leanna glanced at her without saying a word. Yet, her subdued attitude only made Mia bolder. “How can you be this shameless? I already told you I’m pregnant, but you’re still clinging onto the position of Mrs. Pearson. Gosh, do you know just how pathetic you look?!”
