Last Updated:
2025-05-11 20:00:10Aaron looked like he’d tear the paper the moment Emily agreed.
The bar’s AC was blasting. With the customers gone, the room felt even colder. Aaron and Emily stood facing each other, tension thick in the air.
Emily stared at him, her voice cool and steady. “Let me make this clear. I’m not giving up either.”
A flicker of surprise passed through Aaron’s eyes.
“YOU think you can throw your money and power around and I’ll just roll over? Please. I’ve dealt with you long enough to know—this is all you’ve got?” Her eyes sharpened, heavy with disdain.

Emily had just finished her check-up at the OB-GYN when Cecelia stepped in front of her, smiling and pretending to chat like they were old friends.It was weird—downright bizarre—considering how their last run-in had gone. Cecelia had been all high and mighty, telling her to step aside and give up the title of Mrs. Lopez.Now Cecelia was grinning and gushing about just confirming she was pregnant? What kind of show was she putting on? Emily had zero interest in hearing it.Emily didn’t want to hang around and raise suspicions, so after the third time politely saying she had somewhere to be and trying to sidestep Cecelia,

After Emily insisted repeatedly, Francie finally gave in and let her take a cab home alone.Aside from not wanting to risk exposing her pregnancy, she was also extremely cautious about keeping her new address private. She asked the driver to drop her off near a metro station and transferred lines herself before heading back.Her phone buzzed—it was Aaron’s mother, Sadie.The first thing she said was, “You filed for contested divorce? What were you thinking?”Her voice was calm, almost like she was just making casual conversation.Emily wasn’t sure how she found out so fast. “Yes. If you're calling to talk me out of it—”“

Aaron nodded subtly toward one of the bodyguards nearby. The man stepped forward, pulled a folder from his briefcase, and laid it out neatly on the table in front of them. Just two pages. Emily’s eyes caught the two signatures at the bottom—Aaron’s and Francie’s.Francie instantly pointed at it, his voice rising. “Exactly! You told me this was just a ten grand loan. No deadline, no pressure.”“I never said that,” Aaron replied flatly.Francie’s mouth opened, incredulous. “But you only gave me ten grand! How the hell does that suddenly become two million?”He turned to Emily, his expression pleading. “Sis, you’ve gotta believe me. I only borrowed the money to open this place. I didn’t use
After divorce, He regretted Ch51 - Choose one
He’s really agreeing to sign? Since when is Aaron this easy to deal with? Emily wasn’t sure how to react—he had been acting a little unpredictable lately.Aaron probably received the divorce petition from her lawyer yesterday. With the attached evidence of infidelity, the court would almost certainly side with her and approve the divorce.At this stage, Aaron only had fourteen days to respond, and his only real move would be to challenge the validity of the cheating proof.She fully expected him to pull the same stunt—wait until the very last day just to drag it out and buy more time. She didn’t expect him to come to her this fast.She texted back: &

Emily stood behind Theo, frowning toward the doorway—only to see a refined-looking middle-aged woman frozen in place, staring back at them.Her outfit was elegant but sharp: a fitted jacket cinched with a metallic belt, a patterned maxi skirt, and high-heeled boots. Retro but stylish.And from the look on her face, she was even more stunned than they were.“Mom,” Theo said at last, exhaling as if in both relief and resignation. “You didn’t tell me you were coming.”Mom? Emily blinked. She glanced at the woman, then at Theo—same eyes, similar bone structure. So this was Mrs. Maren. The boss’s mom. Not a threat. She instinctively relaxed and stepped out from behind Theo.

At Lopez Atelier, the PR team was easily one of the busiest departments these days—right up there with marketing. A major campaign had just been put on indefinite hold, with leadership deciding it was smarter to wait out the current media storm than risk having everything turn into tabloid fodder.Everyone was running around in crisis mode, and Aaron’s mood had officially hit rock bottom. His hand clenched the document so tightly it crumpled beyond recognition, veins bulging along his knuckles, fingers trembling from the sheer force of his grip.It was a formal legal notice—delivered just three minutes ago. Bold at the top: Petition for Divorce on the Grounds of AdulteryAaron’s stomach twisted. He threw the crumpled paper to the floor.

The team exchanged wide-eyed glances, looking more shocked than Lilian herself. What the—she just got fired?Everyone knew she'd received a warning not long ago, but immediate dismissal? That was intense. They looked around nervously, whispering among themselves.Lilian’s face flushed with shame as she noticed all the stares. She shot the group a sharp glare, and the eavesdropping crowd instantly scattered, heads down, pretending to be immersed in work. The half-finished meeting? Forgotten. The team lead was out—what meeting?Diana’s tone was firm. “You can go pack up your personal belongings now. Please don’t touch your computer. IT will take it from here.”The policy was clear: di

“Fine. Got it.” Emily picked her phone up from the table and slid it into her pocket.Seeing her about to leave, Amelia quickly stood up, almost slapping the table, “You still haven’t told me how you plan to make Aaron divorce you.”Emily glanced at her lazily, “Relax. I don’t go back on my word.”“Words mean nothing.”“I’ve already hired a lawyer to take him to court,” Emily said, her voice flat and cold. “I’m not the type to cling to trash.”Amelia laughed, though inwardly she was sneering.Keep pretending to be tough.
