All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Wife Wants Out: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Charlotte woke up the next morning and saw William’s message.He had checked out early.She drew in a long breath, pushed away the heaviness in her chest, and focused completely on work for the rest of the day.A week passed quickly.The moment she returned to Imperial City, she received a call from the auction house. The appraisal for Julia’s jewelry had come in. After discussing it with her parents, she set the reserve price at three hundred million and officially entrusted the sale to RL Auction House.With a guaranteed minimum of three hundred million, she would finally be able to divorce William and walk away from this miserable life. She would also be able to keep Caleb in his private school through graduation and help her parents live more comfortably.From now on, her only goal was to work hard and earn enough money to buy the jewelry back while her parents were still alive.The next morning, Charlotte arrived at work as usual, only to be summoned to the director’s offic

The hospital park was almost empty that morning.Every now and then, someone would walk by and instinctively look over. It was impossible not to notice them. William stood there in a tailored suit, holding Charlotte in a white dress. From a distance, they looked perfect together. They looked polished, elegant, and enviable.Only when someone got close would they see the truth. William’s expression was dark and heavy. Charlotte’s cheeks were streaked with dried tears.Their marriage was the same. Flawless on the surface, shattered underneath.Charlotte slipped out of William’s arms. She wiped her face and said quietly, “It was three years of a loveless marriage that destroyed the person I used to be. I don’t blame you. I don’t hate you. This was the path I chose.”William stood in front of her, lips pressed tight, staring at her too-pale face without saying a word.Charlotte tried to reason with him one last time. “William, the woman you love came back. You have a child with her.

Charlotte had always known exactly how much William loved Annie. But hearing Annie say it out loud still hit her like a punch to the chest.Seeing Charlotte’s face drain of color, Annie softened her voice, pretending to be sympathetic.“William told me he can’t give you love and he can’t give you a child. All he can offer is the title of Mrs. Harris. He begged me not to leave him. He said the only reason he won’t divorce you is because he feels sorry for you. He doesn’t want things to get ugly and embarrass everyone.”Charlotte stood there, fighting to keep her composure.Annie went on, her tone gentle but her eyes sharp.“We’re both women. I don’t want to make life harder for you. But for the sake of the child, I hope you’ll step aside. He needs his father. He deserves a real home.”Charlotte kept her voice even.“If William truly loves you both that much, he’ll give you a proper title soon enough. There’s no need to rush, Miss Xander.”She turned toward the building.Annie s

William's coldness cut Charlotte to the bone.She shoved him hard. “Why? You’re the one who betrayed this marriage. Why should I be the one who has to tolerate anything?”William caught both her wrists. “Because you are Mrs. Harris. Whether you tolerate it or not is not up to you.”Charlotte snapped. “I don’t want to be your Mrs. Harris. I don’t want you anymore, William. I want a divorce. Do you not understand the word divorce?”William stayed calm, which only made her angrier. “Charlotte, if I refuse to agree to it, every auction house in Imperial City will block your jewelry. And no hospital will hire you.”Charlotte pounded her fists against his chest. “William, you’re disgusting!”“Charlotte,” he said, unmoved, “you don’t want a divorce. And even if you did, I already told you. You cannot afford to leave me.”His voice was flat and merciless.They stared at each other, Charlotte’s despair slowly hardening into hatred. She jerked against his grip but couldn’t break free. Th

Charlotte returned to the home she once shared with William after parting ways with Mandy and Michelle. She hired a moving company and spent the entire afternoon stripping the house down to its bare walls. Everything they tore out piled up across most of the garden, but Charlotte didn’t let anyone haul the pile of “junk” away.Near dusk, Annie arrived with Liam. She stepped into the empty, gutted house and looked around, then glanced at Charlotte with cautious eyes.“Mrs. Harris, why did you call us here?” She remembered how she had deliberately stirred up trouble in front of William that day. Charlotte wouldn’t be trying to get revenge, would she?Charlotte stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, her gaze on the mountain of debris outside. Her voice was calm. “Miss Xander, I’m giving my blessing to you and William.”Annie’s eyes flickered sharply. “Mrs. Harris, if you truly wanted to give us your blessing, you would have done it a long time ago. You wouldn’t have waited until now.
