Chapter 4

Lily was sent out by Elaine. She was a bit reluctant but didn't disobey him. She just gave me a hesitant glance before leaving. Elaine and I stood facing each other. He broke the silence first. "How long have you been planning this resignation?"

"Half a year."

"So, you've been ready to divorce for half a year, right?"

I didn't affirm or deny. Elaine sneered. "Demi, what right do you have to ask for a divorce?"

I looked at him. "Does it matter now?"

"Yeah, it doesn't."

Elaine took out a divorce agreement from the bottom drawer. "Name your terms. Just one thing. I don't want people saying Lily climbed up as a mistress. So, no one can know about our divorce. Or rather, I don't want anyone to know we were ever married."

I skimmed through the agreement's content quickly. Nodding, I said, "Okay, no problem." Then I picked up a pen and added an extra zero to the property division. Elaine looked at me mockingly. "Demi, is money all that matters to you?"

I smiled. "After so many years, you still know me best."

That day, I packed everything and left the company. Some were gloating, some were reluctant to see me go. The most complicated emotions probably belonged to Lily. She seemed hesitant to speak, but her relief was visible.

I nodded.

"Sure, that's fine."

I picked up the pen and added an extra zero to the asset division.

Elaine looked at me with a sardonic smile.

"Demi, is money all you ever think about?"

I smirked.

"After all these years, you still know me best."
