    “Made up your mind?”


    Marcus looked up, his icy stare finallynding on her face, his voice chilly as he spoke. He didn’t bother


    with any false pretense asking why she suddenly wanted a divorce, instead, it seemed as though he


    had been waiting for her to make such a decision.


    “I’ve made up my mind Cornelia replied


    Marcus picked up the divorce agreement, casually flipping through it, and asked, “You don’t want


    anything?”

    “As your assistant, I’ve been around the block with you and done you quite a few solids at work. I’ve


    never shortchanged on my monthly sry and bonuses. As your wife, I haven’t helped you with


    anything in your work. All of your assets are from before our marriage, and I wouldn’t want to im a


    share of your money” Cornelia responded


    “As long as we are married, the money I earn bes our joint marital property. You can keep the gifts


    Granny Luisa gave you. I’ll throw in some extra bucks, then you do not have to work in the future, and


    there is no need to sweat the small stuff in life anymore” Marcus responded


    Comelia shot him down, “No need, I can rake in my own dough.”


    Marcus again cautioned her, “Think it over.”


    Cornelia firmly answered, “I’ve thought it through. If there are no issues, then please sign at the


    designated ce, and we can proceed with the divorce process.”


    “If this is what you really want, we don’t need to go through the hoops, I can get someone to handle it


    directly.”


    Cornelia chuckled, “Sounds good, it’s a win–win for both of us.”


    As Marcus was about to sign the divorce agreement, Patricia saw it and rushed over to snatch the


    document.


    “Marc, you can’t sign this! You’ve been MIA from home these days and not contacting Nelly. It’s normal


    for Nelly to be pissed. She’s just blowing off steam. You can’t act rashly. You can’t divorce no matter


    what.”


    Cornelia softly said, “Patricia, I’m not acting rashly, I’ve thought it through. Give him the divorce


    agreement, let him sign


    it.”


    “No way, I can’t let you guys split, absolutely not. If you guys get divorced, Granny Luisa will be


    heartbroken.” Patricia whipped out her phone, “I’m gonna call Granny Luisa now, let her talk some


    sense into you guys.”


    But before she could dial, she heard Marcus‘ frosty voice, “You’re fired, pack your bags and hit the


    road.”


    “Marc, I don’t mind if you fire me, but you and Nelly can’t split. You’re head over heels for Nelly, you


    even said Nelly is the only gal you’ve ever fancied in your life, why are you walking down the divorce


    road?” Patricia was devastated.


    Tahlia also chimed in, “Nelly, why don’t you mull it over, after all…


    Hearing this, Patricia quickly turned to Tahlia in rage. “Knock off the pretend concern, if you really


    consider Nelly as your sister, would you say those things to her face? You just said Marc bought you a


    house, what the hell are you trying to pull?”


    In Patricia’s eyes, if Tahlia hadn’t spouted that infuriating nonsense, Cornelia might not have proposed


    the divorce to Marcus. However, this decision was made by Cornelia when she came back from the


    Hartley Groupst time.


    Cornelia once said, her heart was small, so small that it could only amodate one person. And,


    small enough not to tolerate any impurities in love.


    If this love was no longer pure, then Cornelia could quickly make a decision to sever the marriage. She


    absolutely wouldn’t break her back for a man not worth loving.


    Tahlia felt wronged, holding back tears as she turned to Marcus, “President Hartley, I…”


    “Do not cry I won’t let anyone bully you.” Marcus‘ voice suddenly turned cold, “Someone, Escort


    Patricia out.”


    Cornelia just stood back, watching the show silently
