Lucian ended the video call. He opened the door, took the clothes the manager had brought over, and threw them to Calista.Calista took the bag and headed over to the bathroom. She heard Lucian say through the door, "My mother's going to the hospital for a checkup later. You're coming with me.""I need to go to work." Calista was also worried about Selena, but she had taken too many leaves right after she had started at the studio. Taking more would look bad on her. "Let me know when the results are out."Lucian stared after her and said coldly, "So you don't even care about Mom's health anymore now you have that cleaning job?"Calista did not stop to explain her job. "She won't be my mother-in-law soon."She was just speaking the truth. But to Lucian, it sounded like she would be distancing herself from them after the divorce.Lately, all their conversations seemed to find their way to the topic of divorce. Lucian frowned. Feeling irritated, he said, "She might as well have gotten a d
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 22 Meeting Her Again
The smugness on Lily's face disappeared instantly, replaced with awkward embarrassment.She knew what Calista was implying. As Lucian's wife, she did not need her own invitation card to attend the party.Lily wanted to rebuke her, but when she saw Jacob still standing beside them, she held her tongue and turned to him. "Mr. Xanders, please keep an eye out for Claude. "I know she's not on your payroll, but I'm sure you're well-connected enough in the industry to be able to get in contact with a regular restorer. I'm willing to pay any price she raises."Jacob glanced over at Callista, who looked as impassive as ever, nodded awkwardly, and sent Lily off.After work, Calista exited her studio and saw Lucian's car stopped at the entrance.The Bentley, with its unique number plate, was a rare sight to see even in the richer part of the city, so naturally, it attracted a lot of attention.Her phone vibrated in her hand. It was a message from Lucian. "Come here."Calista ignored him
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 23 Underestimated Lucian's Malice
The conversation outside stopped suddenly, to Calista's confusion.She exited the cubicle and found Lucian smoking in front of the sinks. She stopped, stunned. "Why are you here?"He looked at her and smiled coldly. "Disappointed to see me? Who were you expecting?"Calista rolled her eyes. "This is the women's washroom. Who could I expect? What's wrong with you?"She went over to the sink to wash her hands. She had calmed down a little, but her face was still pale.Suddenly, Lucian grabbed her under the chin and forced her to look at him. "It's just a watch. Was that enough to fluster you?"Clearly, he had done this on purpose.Calista glared at him. "You did this on purpose?"Lucian smirked. "It's just a watch. If you hadn't designed it with special intentions, then it's nothing but an accessory. Why are you asking me if I did this on purpose? The real question is, haven't you forgotten him?" Slowly, he added, "Mrs. Northwood?"Calista frowned. The form of address gave her a
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 24 Who Do You Want To Marry?
Calista hesitated, then stopped.Paul was clearly drunk. His clothes were rumpled. His voice was hoarse when he said, "I'm sorry … about last time."Calista knew what he was talking about. It was about the recording of her proposing to him.Back then, she was going around begging for money to pay off her debt. When the recording was leaked, it was the last straw for her.At that time, everyone thought she should sleep with more men for money. They believed she was already comfortable with it, and money would just come. So, they considered her debt of a few hundred million dollars to be simple for her.Even after three years, the memory was still stark."We did talk about marriage back then, but that was just a consensual transaction on both sides," Calista said calmly. That did not mean that she had let it go. She continued, "You could have just rejected me and cursed me for it. I wouldn't have minded. But why did you put it on the Internet? No matter how much you hated me, you

"He's got no interest in you. Even if he does, he won't marry you either. No one in Capeton would dare marry a woman I divorced," Lucian said.Calista was livid. She turned and glared at him. "If you think this excuse would ruin your reputation, you can come up with something else! Something like your wife is disgusted every time she sees you and cannot get turned on, so your married life is unfulfilled!""Calista Everhart …" Lucian looked murderous as he gritted out her name.Worried that he might lose control of his temper and do something rash, Calista softened. "Whatever it is, we have to get divorced eventually. No other married couples are like us."The thought of the past three years of marriage made her upset. All of her smiles were returned with coldness. All of her home-cooked meals ended up in the trash without a second glance. All these grievances overwhelmed her.Lucian looked at Calista. Her eyes were red, but she had a look of stubborn determination on her.He swal
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 26 It's Annoying When Men Keep Pestering
Calista was unbothered by Lucian's threat.She only knew that she would never share the same car as him, even if she had to return to Everglade Manor right now.She went there by cab. The two of them arrived at the same time.Calista ignored him. She snorted and entered the manor first.Sally was elated upon her return. "Madam, you're finally back! Mr. Northwood was upset these days because you weren't around. I didn't dare to make a noise when I was cleaning the house."On top of Calista's approachable demeanor, Sally was personally hired by Calista. She was comfortable with Calista around as she began grumbling, "It is common for couples to have disagreements. Mr. Northwood cares for you—"Calista didn't want to hear any good words about Lucian, so she questioned, "Sally, does your husband eat whatever you order?"Sally couldn't understand why Calista asked that. Sally answered honestly, "Yeah. He's not a picky eater. He eats whatever I buy and make."Calista changed her sh
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 27 Divorce
The next day, Calista received a call from Lucian's lawyer early in the morning. They agreed to meet up at a café. She contacted Harvey just in case the situation put her at a disadvantage.Judging from how Lucian readily agreed to the divorce, she assumed things wouldn't go smoothly.When Calista arrived at the destination, Lucian's lawyer was already there. She recognized the person. It was Timothy Howard, the general counsel of Northwood Corporation. The cases he took involved a huge sum of claims. She had never heard that he would accept family law cases like divorce. However, she soon realized that it was not a small lawsuit case. The asset distribution alone was worth billions."Mr. Howard, what do you mean by this?"Timothy demonstrated his professionalism by being deliberate in his choice of words. "The debt Mr. Northwood cleared in your stead is considered your personal debts before marriage. According to the law, he has the right to claim his money back after divo
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Chapter 28 Is Northwood Corporation Going Bankrupt?
Calista was at a loss for words. She got angry upon hearing that. She terminated the call right away. To begin with, he was never one to speak nicely.Still, three million was a huge amount of money. How was she supposed to gather that much money within a short period?Vexed, she went to Yara's antique shop. The staff recognized her. "Ms. Everhart, Ms. Quinn is on the second floor.""Thanks."She found her way to the second floor when Yara led a client to the stairs. Yara was surprised to see Calista. "Why are you here at this hour?"Calista flopped onto the couch lifelessly, recounting the whole story.Yara was utterly dumbfounded. "How could he stoop this low? Is Northwood Corporation going bankrupt? Why is he setting you up for money?"Calista couldn't comprehend the reason for him to do that.Not only was Northwood Corporation doing fine, but its future was also promising.Yara asked, "So what's your plan?""What else can I do? I have to return the money."It was clear
