All Chapters of I Refuse to Divorce!: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Zoe went to pick up Ella from the hospital.The chauffeur had just pulled over when someone opened the car door. Zoe was surprised to see who it was.It was Leslie.Standing in the snow, he looked disheartened. Zoe didn’t know what to say when she saw Leslie again, so she sat quietly in the car.In the end, Leslie was the one who spoke first. “We need to talk, Zoe!”…Zoe sat in a coffee shop by the street and looked at the snow piling up outside through the glass, all the while stirring her coffee absentmindedly.Leslie asked, “Is she doing well?”Snapping out of her reverie, she looked at him. He was still dressed nicely and looked impeccable. There was a pack of cigars in his hand, but he didn’t smoke any because it was a non-smoking coffee shop. It was obvious he was kind of irritated.She stopped stirring and took a sip of the coffee. She didn’t raise her eyes. Instead, she kept her eyes on her coffee and said, “Every time I drank coffee with Ella, she’d say that she

Zoe raised her eyes and stared directly at Mason. His eyes were inscrutable in the dim light. She simply couldn’t tell what was on his mind!After a brief pause, he asked softly, “Did you see it?”Pointing at the documents on the floor, she shook uncontrollably. “Did you hire a bunch of shrinks to study me and advise you on how to deal with me? Just what do you think I am, Mason? Am I just another plaything? You said you loved me. Is this what you call love? Hiring ten shrinks to analyze me like I’m some kind of weirdo?“You bought a dog to please me! Here I am, thinking that you did it because you knew what I liked. It turns out it was all a ploy devised by a team of shrinks! The puppy was nothing but a tool!“Everything you did for me was a calculated step in your game. You even planned out when you were going to have sex with me!“You robbed me of my privacy and my pride, Mason! You don’t love me. You merely wanted to own me in your perverted way! You don’t know how to love any

It was close to noon by the time the servants found Zoe in the study.It was day, but the lights were still on. Zoe was lying flat on the wooden desk. A black bathrobe was all she was wearing. All the evidence of Mason's lust and her body's reaction to it had all but dried up on her body.Her eyes were closed and there were the salt trails of dried tears on her cheeks. Lying there motionless, her face was unusually flushed. The servant touched her and found that she was burning up. Frightened, she yelled, “Ms. Zoe has got a fever!” She was old and she had been married too. It didn’t take her too long to figure out what caused the fever. She called Mason immediately but nobody picked up. At that moment, Mason was having a meeting with the higher-ups of the Lockwood Corporation. There was a big project and he was ready to take it on, but the top management staff and shareholders had more conservative ideas. They thought he was moving too quickly and that it was too risky.About ha

She said in a weak but firm tone, “I won’t be your wife anymore! I want a divorce, Mason! You can try to manipulate or threaten me, but I won’t change my mind again! I want nothing from you. All I ask is Noah’s legal contract and the two percent share of Lockwood Corporation.”Mason stared at her, “Those are the most valuable things!”She smirked nonchalantly, “Feel free to drag it out if you don’t want to agree to my terms.”He was about to say something when her door was pushed open gently. It was Lilith, sitting in a wheelchair, her scrawny cheeks looking sickly. She looked at Zoe and said carefully, “I’m sorry, Zoe! I didn’t mean to stay in the suite. I swear I didn’t know that it was reserved for the Lockwood families. I’ll move out of it right now.”What a hypocrite, Zoe thought.She had never taken it out on Lilith for messing up their marriage because she thought it was Mason’s fault all this time. However, she was deeply disgusted by Lilith’s words!For that matter, he

The next morning, Mason received a call from the hospital. It was Lilith’s doctor, Dr. Zahir.“Ms. Lilith wasn’t feeling too well last night, but she’s bounced back after our valiant efforts! Of course, I can’t claim credit for it on my own. It took an entire team to do it.”Leaning on the couch, Mason rubbed his brows, “What about Zoe? Did her fever come back?”Zahir started stammering at that. Sitting upright, he asked, “What happened to her?”Zahir felt a chill down his spine. Did he bet on the wrong horse? Wasn’t Lilith the lady Mason cared most about in the world? Was it actually Zoe, his legitimate wife?He wouldn’t dare lie to Mason, so he said, “Ms. Zoe started having intermittent fever episodes, but we’re short-staffed. Fortunately, your servant was very capable. She used the traditional way to bring down her body temperature. Ms. Zoe is doing fine and feeling much better now!”Zahir tried to make light of the situation, but Mason flung a crystal ashtray across the roo
