He Chose His Assistant — I Chose Divorce Chapter 9
When I arrived at the courthouse, Jeff was waiting at the entrance. He looked haggard, his eye sockets deeply sunken.Luna was not with him.I had heard she tried to flee last night with a large sum of Jeff's money, but was caught at the airport. She was now in police custody.Jeff looked at me, his lips parting slightly as if he wanted to say something."Cut the nonsense and sign the papers," I interrupted him coldly.His hand trembled as he picked up the pen.But just as the tip touched paper, he suddenly looked up. Tears fell down his face."Carol… is it really over between us? If you can forgive me, I can change… I can send Luna to prison, I can—""Jeff."I looked at him, my gaze as calm as still water."Sign it. Save yourself a little dignity."His tears froze on his face.He understood my eyes in that moment. There was no love, no hatred—only endless indifference. The look one gives a stranger. Only then did he realize—he had truly lost me.The pen scratched across t

Miranda Monaghan walked in with a cane, supported by two bodyguards.The moment she entered, she struck the ground hard with her cane."Carol! You ungrateful wretch! The Ellison family fed you for five years—is this how you repay us?"You even dared to spread lies online and ruin the family's reputation! Do you know how many billions the Ellison Corporation lost in market value today?!""Miranda, please mind your words," I said calmly. "What I stated are facts, not rumors. And as for the Ellison family feeding me? In these five years, I worked myself like a servant in your household, attending to every member of your family."When Jeff was drunk, I picked him up. When you were ill, I stayed by your bedside without rest. What I owed the Ellison family, I already repaid in full."On the contrary—your family owes me a life."Miranda trembled with rage, pointing at me."That was your father's bad fate! Who can you blame for that? Luna made a momentary mistake. Do you really have to

The pain made cold sweat break out all over my body."I won't sign it."I squeezed out those words through clenched teeth.Looking at Jeff's face—once familiar and gentle—I suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of strangeness.The Jeff who once held an umbrella for me in the rain… who once cooked soup for me when I was sick… had died completely."Jeff," I gasped for breath, "you will get what you deserve.""If you won't sign, then don't blame me for being ruthless."Take her away! Lock her in the basement. When she decides to sign, let her out."The bodyguards hauled me up and dragged me toward the door.I struggled desperately, but it was useless.Then, a furious voice rang out from the entrance."Stop!"It was Benson.Behind him stood two uniformed police officers."Mr. Ellison, what do you think you're doing?" Benson rushed in and stood in front of me. "This is illegal detention! This is kidnapping!"The police stepped forward and showed their badges."Mr. Ellison, ple

As expected, Benson's phone rang.After answering it, his expression turned grave."Ms. Reynolds, bad news. The Ellison Corporation's legal department has stepped in. They've filed a police report against you for embezzlement of duty and extortion. You are their target."The air inside the car froze instantly.After hanging up, Benson furrowed his brows tightly."Jeff is ruthless. He's trying to destroy you completely.""Embezzlement? Extortion?"I let out a cold laugh."When they want to pin a crime on you, there's always a way. He just wants me in prison. He wants me silenced.""Ms. Reynolds, the situation is very unfavorable for us right now."Benson adjusted his glasses."The Ellison Corporation's legal team is top-tier in the industry. They also control vast resources. Once a case is filed, you'll be at a serious disadvantage. I suggest you lay low for now.""No. I'm not hiding."I turned to look at him, my gaze unwavering."Take me back to the old apartment. I'll wa

Jeff stared at the photo, his body swaying slightly.Then he slowly turned toward Luna, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief."The ransom reversal… you did that?"Clutching her face, Luna's gaze darted around wildly as she shook her head in panic."N-No! It wasn't me! Jeff, she's slandering me! How could I possibly do something like that? I don't even know your phone password…""You're lying!"I cut her off sharply."Jeff's phone password is your birthday. Everyone in the company knows that!"And that night, you even posted on social media bragging that you helped Jeff save a huge amount of wasted money! You deleted it immediately, but I took a screenshot."I opened my photo album and pulled up the screenshot.The caption on the post read: [Three million? I'd rather use it to feed beggars than give it to her.]The entire ballroom erupted. Whispers crashed through the crowd like waves."Oh my God, that's vicious…""So the mistress really did take over—and even got the w

I stared at the text message for a full ten minutes.Then I replied with only two words: [I'll go.]After putting down my phone, I looked at my father's urn and gently traced it with my fingers."Dad, please wait a little longer. I'm going to get justice for you."The next evening, an Ellison family car stopped downstairs. The driver, Jamie, had come to pick me up."Ms. Reynolds, get in. Mr. Ellison doesn't like waiting."He didn't even bother getting out of the car. He simply shouted through the window.I opened the door and sat in the back seat.The car reeked of perfume. It was Luna's usual brand.By the time we arrived at the hotel, Jeff was already waiting in the lounge.The moment he saw the cheap dress I was wearing, he frowned deeply, disgust written all over his face."You're wearing that?"He tossed a garment bag toward me."Change into this. Don't embarrass me."Inside was a fitted white evening gown, elegant and expensive, but not my size.I glanced at the la
