Chapter 2

Raina went ballistic when she heard this and immediately charged over to yank Barbara's hair before she began to trash and kick her.

Barbara quickly blacked out from the violent beatings.

When she finally regained her consciousness, she opened her eyes to a sea of white. She tried to sit up but her body ached so terribly that she had to lean against tbe headboard of her bed to catch her breath. But right at that moment, the door to get ward opened and a man wearing a pair of gold rimmed glasses came in.

"Hello, Miss Barbara. I'm President Lorenzo's lawyer!"

"Lawyer?" Barbara repeated and stared at the man before her.

"Yes. I'm President Lorenzo's private lawyer. He entrusted me to handle his divorce proceedings with you"

"Divorce? Dexter wants to divorce me?" Barbara repeated and could hardly believe what she just heard.

The lawyer walked over to her bed and handed her a document. "Thus is the divorce agreement, please read through it."

Barbara's hands began to quiver. She had never dreamed that Dexter would actually divorce her one day. Without reading the divorce agreement, she stared at the lawyer and ordered. "Get Dexter to come see me! I want him to tell me in person"

"President Dexter is very busy. He doesn't have the time"

"He's busy and he has no time?" Barbara chuckled and wondered when they began to be so indifferent to each other that he could not even afford to spare some time to meet her.

Closing her eyes shut, she grabbed the phone on the bedside table and dialed Dexter's number, but she could not seem to get through to him.

"How did Dexter and I end up like this? An affair, a divorce...?' she mused.

Tbe lawyer who was still waiting for her response urged. "Miss Barbara, please take a look at the agreement m I am very busy!"

It was obvious from tbe lawyers attitude that he would not take no for an answer. Everyone had been respectful towards barbate throughout her three years long of marriage with Dexter. Now that the lawyer was so cold and harsh, he was clearly acting under Dexter's instructions.

Barbara held up the divorce agreement and glanced at the column on the dismemberment of property. As all the property belonged to Dexter before his marriage? It was part of the property that would be divided upon their divorcement. Barbara instantly began to tear up.

He once said that she meant the world to him and that everything he had belonged to her. However, he already fell out of love with her within just three years of their marriage. She wondered if he was finally revealing his true colors.

The truth that Dexter had kept a mistress behind her back and even impregnated the mistress daughter with a child finally began to sink in.

"I suppose it's time for a fruitless tree like me to step down!" Barbara thought bitterly. Without reading the agreement any further, she glsnced up at the lawyer who had been staring at her all along and requested. "Give me a pen!"

The lawyer opened his briefcase, took out a pen and handed it over to her before he added, "President Dexter said that you can't take any of the jewelry that he bought for you"

Barbara stared blankly at the space before her and froze for a long time. Just when the lawyer thought that she would challenge this, she slowly agreed, "Sure"

She then picked up tbe pen and signed her name on the divorce agreement quickly.

After the lawyer took one glsnced at the signed agreement, he turned and left.

A luxurious Aston Martin pulled up in the parking lot of the hospital and the car window scrolled down to reveal the face of an incomparably handsome man. The lawyer quickly strode over to the car and reported respectfully. "President Lorenzo, madam has signed it"

"She signed it?" The man repeated slowly and glanced at the lawyer's face with his unreadable eyes...

The lawyer's heart raced when he saw how moody the man seemed and though the lawyer wanted to say something, he was at a loss for words. The man then turned to strode at the dark night sky.

After some time, he spat out, "Let's go!"
