Chapter 37
This woman’s got a wicked sense of humor
Ryan chuckled, “No rush, take your time”
As Cornelia read through the documents, Ryan couldn’t help but stare at her.
She was surprisingly gorgeous
Ryan sighed to himself, thinking how clueless Marc was when it came to relationships. He married such a beautiful woman and still left her alone and went abroad.
If he were to marry such a stunner, he wouldn’t just build her a golden house and hide her away, he’d keep her by his side every day, not giving other men a chance
Now, Marc left her alone, and other men got a head start.
Captivated by Cornelia’s beauty, Ryan didn’t mind the leisurely pace at which she read and relished every subtle expression that adorned her face
As Cornelia perused the divorce agreement, she encountered clauses regarding the absence of shared life or assets after their marriage, aligning precisely with her intentions.
She didn’t want to give away her money, nor did she want his.
However, when she saw the part about she having to pay a hundred grand for emotional damages, she couldn’t help but laugh
Their marriage was arranged by their elders, and they hadn’t even met in almost a year and a half. Their divorce should have been amicable, but she didn’t expect him to make such a demand.
Smiling, Cornelia pushed the divorce agreement back, “Mr. Colwell, what’s with the hundred grand in emotional damages?”
“You know what you’ve done, Ms. Stewart “Ryan looked at her, thinking she must be a pro in love affairs. He almost pointed out her affair, but she remained calm.
Cornelia, “What did I do?”
“Ms. Stewart, we both know what’s going on. If you keep pretending, don’t blame me for being rude.” Ryan pushed the divorce agreement back to Cornelia, “You have to sign this, no matter
what.”
He was very firm, but Cornelia wasn’t scared.
After spending six months with Marcus, she wasn’t even afraid of him, let alone Ryan
She smiled and calmly responded, “If I don’t sign, what can you do to me?”
Her expression didn’t change, but the pressure was felt. Ryan softened his tone, “Ms. Stewart, just sign the agreement, and we can talk about anything.”
“Do I look stupid?” Cornelia became a little unhappy. “Tell Jeremy, if he really wants a divorce, we can set a time and bring the necessary documents to the Civil Affairs Bureau. No need for a complicated divorce agreement. He won’t get a dime from me.”
Ryan had seen all kinds of situations, but Cornelia’s transformation was not to be underestimated. For some reason, he thought of Marcus when he was angry and shivered involuntarily, “Wait for me for two minutes.”
Ryan found a quiet corner and called Marcus.
Marcus just came out of the shower, “Any problems?”
Ryan said, “Marc, your wife is really beautiful!”
No matter how beautiful that woman was, in Marcus’s eyes, she was just an unfaithful wife, and he was determined to end this marriage.
Marcus frowned, “Ryan, you have half an hour left.”
Ryan had no choice but to tell the truth, “Your wife refuses to sign the divorce agreement.”
