Chapter 204

Penulis: River Fish
The clerk had just been thinking that Connor and Phoebe felt nothing for each other when they started tearing into each other mere seconds later. Their demeanor was so fierce that the atmosphere grew oppressive, and the people in line behind them instinctively took a step back.

The clerk rushed through printing the divorce certificates, terrified that if she took even one second longer, Connor and Phoebe might actually start throwing punches.

Well, the moment she handed over the certificates, they were no longer married. Legally, they were nothing to each other.

All she wanted now was to get these two out of her office. She called out, "Next!"

However, neither of them budged. The clerk's heart leapt to her throat. They weren't going to keep fighting, were they? Or were they going to start brawling?

She stiffened at the thought. In her line of work, she'd seen plenty of couples wanting a divorce. There had been extreme examples. One monster had even stabbed his wife mid-procedure.

    "You've always known exactly what you want, and you don't waste energy on second-guessing yourself. That's why you live so freely." Phoebe's eyes gleamed with genuine admiration. "That's why I like you."Alexandra broke out in goosebumps. "Stop, you're scaring me! This is too weird coming from you!"Phoebe poured herself a drink and clinked her glass against Alexandra's. She had an effortlessly cool vibe that made even drinking a soft drink look as badass as downing liquor.Alexandra recovered quickly. This was the old Phoebe—sharp-edged, intimidating when she didn't smile, and the kind of woman who was clearly not easy to push around.Alexandra was the social butterfly who was good at chatting with others. But Phoebe could sit quietly in the corner and still be the most magnetic person there.The second Alexandra realized that the real Phoebe was back, she dragged her straight to a bar in town and ordered the hottest guys on the menu.The male escorts filed into the room, ready

    Laura's face turned several shades whiter. She had already heard the news last night, so it wasn't hard for her to accept that it had actually happened now. However, she was still reluctant to part with Phoebe.She was only the housekeeper, yet even she couldn't bear to see Phoebe go. As the husband, did Connor really feel nothing at all? Not even a flicker of reluctance?Laura watched Connor head toward the study without so much as a change in his stride.Her heart sank. In that moment, she truly understood just how cold-blooded Connor was. Phoebe had lived with this for the past three years. The fact that she had lasted that long was nothing short of a miracle.It was also then that Laura finally understood why Phoebe had wanted the divorce. All her reluctance turned into quiet blessings for Phoebe's future. She was sure that Phoebe would be much happier after leaving Connor.She wanted to send Phoebe a message or something, but Phoebe had blocked her long ago. None of the words

    Connor narrowed his eyes. "You don't believe me?"Evan smiled lazily. "Nope. But I'm dying to see if Phoebe would actually turn around and come back. You know I live for drama."That day, though, he planned to be part of the drama himself.The logic was simple. If there were even the slightest chance that Phoebe might rekindle something with Connor, Evan would personally make sure that chance died before it could turn into anything.For instance, he could stoke the flames and nudge Vanessa into the stirring pot. He could even find a random woman to play the jealous girlfriend. His exact move would depend on the situation.The bigger the scene, the better. He would make it blow up so spectacularly that everyone knew, and Connor would be permanently disqualified from ever fighting for Phoebe. He would truly become a chapter that she'd finished.Evan could already picture it. After that day, he and Connor probably wouldn't be friends anymore. To tell the truth, he hated the things C

    Connor's gaze was icy as he stared at the tea in his cup. The whole situation felt like a huge joke to him.He had once told Phoebe that no matter how bad things got between them, they should never let Philip know. She had always obeyed and put on lovey-dovey performances in front of the old man. She had even taken every opportunity to be affectionate with him. Because of that, Philip had never suspected a single thing.As for picking Philip up at the airport last time, that was obviously an excuse for her to snitch about the Flynn situation. She sure was protective of him. Yet in the end, she hadn't actually ratted him out, had she?So, Philip still had no idea that anything was wrong.Now, Phoebe had even told Connor to break the divorce news to Philip. If she was so desperate to cut ties, why not do it herself? Deep down, it seemed that she still couldn't bring herself to burn the final bridge.A cold smile curled Connor's lips, but his voice gave away nothing. "Don, tell Grand

    Setting aside Evan's friendship with Connor, Phoebe thought that Evan was actually a pretty fun guy. As for the flowers…Phoebe thought for a second. "Give them to me."Evan's brows shot up in surprise."What?""I thought you'd refuse," he said."Normally I would."He was smart enough to see that she was taunting Connor with this. "Got it. If your ex knew you accepted flowers from me, he'd lose his mind. You're doing this to piss him off, aren't you?"He pretended to look heartbroken for Connor, but the roses were already being passed through the window.Phoebe took the bouquet, glanced at the blooms, then looked back up at him. Her cool eyes betrayed nothing. "So, are you going to tell Connor?""Of course I am. Why wouldn't I? You know me—I live to watch him make a fool of himself." Evan didn't give a damn about loyalty to his friend now. At that moment, he only had eyes for Phoebe.Post-divorce, Phoebe was radiant, like someone who had finally remembered how to breathe. Thi

    Phoebe's jaw dropped. She had already turned Simon down!Her expression turned cold as she messaged back, "Simon didn't say a single word about this to me."Evan: "That's just how he is. He never asks before he acts and arranges everything so you're stuck either way. There's a reason why I've been annoyed with him for years."Phoebe didn't know what to say. She couldn't deny that Simon was warm and loyal, but his enthusiasm was a little too much. She was already exhausted.Evan: "So… can I come?"Phoebe: "I might not even go."Since Simon hadn't bothered to check with her first, she was perfectly happy pretending that she knew nothing and avoiding the whole thing.Phoebe: "Besides, he's your cousin. You don't need my permission if you two want to meet up."She couldn't understand why Evan was asking her.He seemed to read her mind. "I'm Connor's friend. I don't want you to see me and feel sick. I'd hate to ruin your mood."Phoebe frowned. "Those are different things altogethe
