A few hours ago, they received definitive proof that Kayla was responsible for Renee's disappearance.Although they were disappointed, they had raised Kayla and certainly couldn't bear to see her behind bars.After a quick discussion, they chartered a private jet in an attempt to fly her abroad, only to be intercepted by a mysterious bunch.As such, they had no choice but to take Kayla home, only to receive word that Adam had gone off the rails again, this time threatening to make Kayla get an abortion.The child in Kayla's womb was now her lifeline—if she lost it, there was no one who could save her!Irene was naturally aware of Renee's disappearance.It did cause quite a stir among the elite circles, after all."I really can't help you here," Irene told Lydia. "You know Adam's temper. When he gets stubborn, no one can stop him."Irene was already plenty stressed after what had happened at the orphanage, and she was really hesitant about bringing someone like Kayla into her ow

Even at nine in the evening, news about Kayla getting an abortion never came.Instead, Renee got a call from Adam. "You should…"Renee frowned and asked coolly, "What? Did Kayla get an abortion?""N-No…"Adam's voice was very soft because of guilt. "I'm sorry… We should just get a divorce. I'll be waiting outside the courthouse in an hour."At that moment, he was the one person who hurt the most, as he held his phone with one hand and his mother's wrist with the other.Irene was holding a blood-stained knife with her hand, having just cut her own neck to force Adam into divorcing Renee.Back in her hospital room, Renee chuckled softly as if she had known this would happen."Alright, I'm heading over now," she said calmly and hung up.On the other end, Adam's fingers clenched around his phone before he slammed it on the floor, shrieking hysterically at Irene, "Are we done now?! Isn't that enough for you?"With that, he snatched the knife out of Irene's hands and threw it into

As such, the clerk didn't ask any questions and pulled out the standard forms, passing them to Renee and Adam and said, "If you'll sign here."Renee quickly signed her name at the bottom—even with her wrist bandaged and severely injured, it didn't affect her determination to get a divorce.On the other hand, Adam's eyes were still glued to her face since entering the courthouseHe really did love her…"Please, darling… I love you!" he cried. "Kayla and I... It was just a reckless mistake! And since then, it was all vanity… The thrill of cheating just… got to me! I-I…"Even though they were already here, about to finalize their divorce, Adam tried to defend himself, as if he hoped that she would understand that he was the one who only loved her in the world.Thud!Nonetheless, Renee slammed her pen on the table, leering at him sideways as she snapped coldly, "Enough! Words have no meaning now. Just sign this if you want to save your dignity."Adam pursed his lips, staring at Re

Renee couldn't help remembering how determined she had been to marry Adam, or how he had given up everything for her—for love, because he wanted to stay with her forever.Perhaps it was just how the world worked, or it was just growth and learning how choices mattered—she had come to realize that love is cheap."Renee…" Adam breathed as he held the thin sheet of papers, which somehow felt so heavy on his palm, just as heavy as his heart felt just then.At the same time, Renee put away her divorce papers and turned to Alison. "Come on. Let's go home.""Oh, babe. Congratulations on your fresh start!" Alison was clearly emotional in contrast to Renee's calmness, hugging her fiercely but also choking with tears although she was supposed to be the one comforting Renee.Still, Renee smiled wryly as she pushed her away, staring at her beady eyes as she said, "Come on—that's a good thing, see? You should be happy for me.""Yes, I am. Of course I am." Alison nodded repeatedly. "Come on,

Renee beckoned, turning her phone screen toward Alison. "Come here. There's something you should see."It was a video and several photos, but Alison was immediately looking through them, taking Renee's phone and swiping through, her eyes glowing. "Okay, this is just crazy—where did you even get this?""I don't know—the anonymous sender delivered it straight to my email inbox," Renee replied, shrugging."Good lord, these are perfect!" Alison gave a thumbs-up and asked, "So? Do we show everyone now?""No, not yet. Let them bask in their joy for a couple of days." Renee smiled, putting her phone on the table and staring straight ahead. "We've waited this long, so why not wait a few more days? We know Kayla is like—after they register their marriage, we can expect the wedding in just a couple of days."Thud, thud…Someone knocked on the door before it quietly opened. Seeing the familiar face, Alison exclaimed, "Oh, hey, if it isn't my dear bro—I mean, Mr. Zeller! What are you doing
