Chapter 1224
He switched on the lights in the room. The room was neat and tidy. It was decorated in a macaron
palette and there were plush toys lying around. Everything looked the same as before.
However, the room looked so much colder now that it was unupied.
Fade nced around and saw an envelope on the desk.
He walked over and picked up the envelope. On the envelope, it was written, "To Fade Chen."
Seeing this, Fade''s heart jolted. He opened the envelope and pulled out three neatly folded letters
from within.
He opened the letters and his hands started to tremble. It was as if the letters in his hands were
even more terrifying than any of the enemies that Fade had encountered before.

Taking a deep breath, Fade steeled himself and focused on reading the contents of the letters.
"Fade, by the time you read this, I should have already left Dragonville. Don''t worry about me. Also,
don''t look for me. I am in a ce that suits me better. For the time we know each other, I...."
As Fade continued reading, the image of Quin sitting in front of the desk, writing to him while
recalling the time they had spent together surfaced in his mind''s eye.
The letters were brief. It was mostly about the memories they shared. The letters didn''t mention
anything Fade wanted to know, including the reason for Quin''s departure as well as the ce which
she had headed to.
"Why, why did Quin do this?" Fade had a lot of questions in mind.
Just then, he caught sight of thest few lines of the letters. Trembling, he muttered breathlessly,
"This is..."
Fade was puzzled for a moment as he drowned in disbelief.
At the end of the letters, it was written, "The divorce agreement is in the drawer. Although we
shared many memories, we are simply not meant to be. If you sign on the paper, we will be officially
divorced. Go and pursue your new life. Lily and Momo are both decent women. If you..."
Reading this, Fade felt hot under the cor. He opened the drawer and saw the divorce papers in it.
Quin''s signature was found on the signature column.
No words could express how Fade felt as he held the divorce papers in hand. "Why? Quin, why did
you do this? 1-1 really don''t understand what came over you. Why are you leaving me? Why didn''t
you tell me?"
At that very moment, all Fade wanted to do was to rip those papers into pieces.
However, in that critical moment, he seemed to be struck with a thought. He did not rip the papers.
Instead, he folded the divorce papers carefully and ced them in his chest pocket.
Gently patting the pocket, Fade whispered to himself, "Quin, I won''t divorce you. I won''t sign the
agreement. I''ll bring it with me and look for you."
Outside, the sounds of explosions filled the air, followed closely by colorful lights flickering across
the night sky.
Fade looked out of the window and gazed at the beautiful fireworks blooming in the night sky. The
midnight bell tolled, and the entire city was nketed in festive cheer.
Fade felt nothing but dejectedness and loneliness. The hustle and bustle around him had nothing to
do with him. It was as if he was isted from the world.
Fade didn''t know how much time had passed, but when he came back to his senses, the fireworks
had already ended. The city had returned to the silence of the night.
He looked up at the clock and realized he had already been standing there for more than an hour.
There was a knock on the door, and he could hear Housekeeper Wong asking, "Mr. Chen, you must
be hungry from all the travelling. How about I fix you something to eat?"
"It''s okay, I''m not hungry. You should get some rest. I will be turning in soon."
"Okay. Rest well," Housekeeper Wong responded and promptly went downstairs.
Fade sat on the bed and slowlyy down on the soft mattress. Quin''s scent was still lingering faintly
in the air.
Fade closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.
The next day, when Fade woke up, the sun had risen and warm rays of sunlight streamed through
the window. Fade got up from the bed and nced at the envelope on the desk. His heart clenched
tightly at the sight. Then, he folded the envelope and put it in his pocket.
After tidying up the room, Fade headed downstairs.
"Mr. Chen, you''re up!" Housekeeper Wong greeted him and asked, "Are you all right?" Fade gave a
small smile and replied, "Don''t worry, I''m fine. I''m starving. I haven''t had your cooking in a long
time."
Hearing this, Housekeeper Wong hurriedly ran into the kitchen with a bright smile. "Please wait for a
moment. Breakfast will be served shortly."
After having his breakfast, Fade said goodbye to Housekeeper Wong and drove out.
After a good night’s sleep, Fade''s emotions appeared to have stabilized.
He headed to Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. Quin had left behind thepany she valued most in
her life and entrusted Lily with it. Perhaps, Lily could tell him a thing or two.
As soon as he reached thepany, Fade was surprised by what he saw before him.
Thepany was lively. It was not deste even when it was the New Year holiday.
"It''s the New Year holiday. Why are there so many people here at work? Are you all working
overtime?" Fade asked the girl at the front desk.
The girl seemed a little confused as she didn''t recognize him. She asked, "Sir, may I know who are
you?”
Fade paused for a moment and immediately came to a realization. He had rarely visited the
company, and hugepanies like this have high turnover rates. It was only natural that the lower
level employees did not know him.
Hence, Fade took out his ID card and showed it to her, saying, "Can you tell me now?"
"Oh, Mr. Chen! Y-You are..." The girl sounded a little nervous.
Fade smiled gently and waved his hand. "Don''t be nervous. Just answer my question."
"Yes, Mr. Chen. Miss Wei is holding a board meeting today, and many directors and high-level
personnel are attending. That''s why thepany is bustling."
"I see." Fade nodded and then said, "Miss Wei is in her office, right? I''ll go and meet her."
