All Chapters of Divorced, I Became a Billionaire Heiress: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Lucas Hale, don't you find it disgusting to say that?"Lucas's smooth, insincere words lit Hannah's fury like dry kindling. Her face burned crimson, as if the blood might burst through her skin.Five years of marriage, and not one child.Once, she had been pregnant. But back then she had quarreled bitterly with her sister-in-law, Sabrina Hale, and in the middle of it, Sabrina had shoved her to the ground.She lost the baby.Her recovery was no sanctuary. Her mother-in-law, Margaret Hale, screamed at her and struck her. Hannah had to drag herself through every day alone, and the scars from that time never healed. They were the reason she now struggled to conceive.Victoria's voice turned soft and understanding. "Hannah, I may have slept with Luke, but I'll never marry him. Your family won't be destroyed, I promise. When I get pregnant, I'll hand the child to you to raise. You're my best friend. I've already given up so much for you. How can you still say we betrayed you?"Hannah could

Two broad shouldered guards in dark glasses stood at the café entrance like temple guardians carved from stone.Inside, there were no other customers. Only a middle-aged couple sat by the window, with more guards waiting nearby. The whole café had clearly been reserved for them.Hannah's mind spun with questions. Who were these people? Why would they want her?She forced herself to stay calm and walked toward them, one slow step at a time.Before she could reach the table, a guard bent down and murmured in the couple's ears.The woman shot to her feet. Her eyes were red, and her voice shook as she cried out, "Hannah... you're Hannah, aren't you?"Hannah looked at her, and a strange warmth bloomed in her chest.She was certain they had never met. Yet the feeling was so real, as if her heart already knew this woman.She frowned and asked softly, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"The woman was beautiful and graceful, and every movement carried a natural nobility. Her brows and eye

In the bright, spacious master bedroom, Victoria's lovely eyes shimmered with tears as she gazed up at Lucas, the picture of wounded innocence."Luke, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I never imagined Hannah would be so rash, or that she'd actually demand a divorce. You know me. I never wanted to come between you two. I only wanted you to have a child of your own..."Before she could finish, her tears fell like pearls from a broken string. She looked so pitiful that anyone would have ached for her.Lucas rushed to comfort her. "Hmph. Hannah just doesn't know what's good for her. She's selfish. How could any of this be your fault?""Luke, why don't you try talking to her again? If she really leaves you, she'll have nowhere to go. You know how her parents treated her. If they hear you divorced her, they won't let her off lightly."Lucas only laughed coldly. "Talk to her? Never. If she wants a divorce, I'll give her one. After she's suffered out there for a while, she'll learn exactly

The young woman was none other than Lucas's older sister, Sabrina Hale.The man in the wheelchair was their father, Raymond Hale. The elegant woman behind them was their mother, Margaret Hale.The three of them had just returned from a shopping trip to the harbor town, and had stumbled straight into this scene.Hannah said nothing. The divorce agreement was already signed, and the Hales were no longer her concern.Before Lucas could speak, Raymond frowned from his wheelchair and asked in a low voice, "Luke, what is going on here?"Margaret, however, had already sensed something. Spotting Attorney Crawford sorting papers off to one side, she probed carefully."Luke, why is Attorney Crawford here? Surely you aren't... planning a divorce?"Lucas didn't deny it. He fixed his gaze on Hannah, his eyes dark."You're right, Mother. I called him here because I'm divorcing Hannah."Margaret's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands in delight."Oh, what wonderful news! Luke, I've begged you so m

Lucas looked at Hannah standing before him, and a strange look crossed his eyes.The first time he had seen her, she had been so pure and lovely that he fell for her at once.But Margaret glared at her with open malice and spat the words out."Hmph. Get out of here, you vixen! If Luke hadn't protected you all these years, I'd have thrown you out of the Hale house long ago. Letting you freeload off us this long was already generous. From today, you vanish from this family for good!""That's right, Mother," Sabrina said. "Once she's gone, have the maid scrub the spot where she stood. And look at those cheap clothes. Revolting."From his wheelchair, Raymond tried to calm his wife. "That's enough. She and Luke were husband and wife, and the Hales have treated her well over the years. Let's part on decent terms and not make this awkward for everyone.""Father, you're too soft," Sabrina said. "'Decent terms'? That's just for show. Which couple doesn't tear each other apart in a divorce? Thi
