Smack!A loud and crisp sound echoed, and the room fell silent.Griffith froze. After regaining his senses, he felt a burning sensation on his cheek. The desire in his eyes faded and was replaced with an icy glare. This was his first time being slapped across the face.Charlotte quickly grabbed her bathrobe and got out of bed."I said I want a divorce!" Charlotte remarked.In the past, whenever Griffith refused the conditions requested by the Scott Family, Charlotte would come to beg him and even resorted to using her body to please him. As such, he thought she was using the same old tricks, and he even played along to simply give her a way out.Griffith's expression was unsightly. She could not help but explain, "I don't know who drugged you, but it wasn't me."Griffith snorted coldly and said, "You fed me soup."Charlotte figured that explaining to him was just a waste of energy, so she headed toward the bathroom to get cold water for him. As she passed by him, he grabbed her

Around 9 o'clock. The sky was clear and the weather was delightful. Charlotte got out of the taxi and walked toward the Courthouse. As she got closer, she noticed there seemed to be more estranged couples than loving ones.It reminded her of the day they were supposed to obtain their marriage certificate. Griffith did not show up on that day and she waited in vain all morning until she received a call, saying that everything had been taken care of. Later, she found out just how much he resented their marriage.Charlotte looked around when she arrived in front of the Courthouse, but she couldn't find Griffith's car. She thought he must still be at Katie's place, perhaps still sleeping. She quickly sent him a text to remind him to be on time, but he did not reply.She frowned down at her phone as she realized it had been like this for years. She would eagerly anticipate his reply, but he would not even respond. It was almost 10 o'clock and the line outside the Courthouse got longer. S

Her mind went blank for a moment. Then she quickly rushed back to the hallway."Help! Someone has attempted suicide!" she yelled.The doctors and nurses nearby approached her immediately and she led them back to the staircase. She finally got a clear view of the person who committed suicide. The handsome young man seemed to be in his early 20's and was lying in a small puddle of blood that trickled from his wrist. It was shocking to see his face turn as pale as paper.The doctors and nurses quickly lifted the young man onto a stretcher. One of his hands had slipped and was hanging off the stretcher. Charlotte was worried his hand might hit the railings, so she quickly stepped forward to place his hand in a safe position.However, the unconscious young man suddenly moved his hand and his fingers caught hold of Charlotte's bracelet. Before she could react, the stretcher moved and the young man, refusing to let go, broke the bracelet. The beads scattered on the floor, sliding all the

Charlotte went to the indoor area and searched for the room number. The room was empty and the wait staff told her Griffith had driven off on a golf cart. Deciding to look for him at the golf course, she grumbled about having to walk so far because of him.The sun was shining brightly in the sky and it had rained yesterday. The grassy field was filled with a fresh scent, and the air was hot and humid. Drenched in sweat, Charlotte finally spotted Griffith's golf cart. She quickly ran down the slope to stop the golf cart.Griffith was sitting in the passenger's seat; he was surprised to see her. He extended his foot to step on the accelerator. The golf cart suddenly accelerated and drove past Charlotte. She had just made it to level ground and was left gasping as she watched him zoom past her.Charlotte was furious. Then she noticed Arthur driving another golf cart following behind them. Her eyes lit up and she chased after him. The poor guy was startled. He quickly turned the steerin

Charlotte knew he had no feelings for her and had long given up hope. However, after waiting in vain for three years, hearing him say those words still hurt her.She took a deep breath and deliberately made some noise opening the door before she entered the room.Eli paused and glanced at her then politely excused himself."I'll go upstairs. We have another meeting soon, so join us as soon as you can," Eli said before leaving.The couple was left alone in the private room. Before Charlotte could speak, Griffith said, "Arthur will take you to pick out some clothes.""What?" Charlotte said."I have a meeting in half an hour, and I'm in need of formal attire. Pick a conservative tie for me."Charlotte shrugged and replied, "Mr. Wilson, have you forgotten why I'm here?"Griffith got up and walked past her, adding, "Make sure the shirt is black."Charlotte gritted her teeth."Griffith, I…""Every minute you delay reduces the possibility of me finding time," he interjected.Charl
