Chapter 1117 Anthony Is On His Knees


    Chapter 1117 Anthony is on His Knees


    Anthony gave him a re. "Go back home."


    *


    Three dayster, the divorce case between Anthony and Mavis was finally going to court. Raymond


    intentionally waited until thest minute to inform Anthony, leaving him no time for any tricks.


    The news of their divorce quickly spread through major media outlets, with many people eagerly


    anticipating the day of the trial.


    But Anthony remained calm and even went to chat with Chad at NIB.


    Chad said, "This whole thing has caused quite a stir. Everyone knows about it. Either you two get


    divorced or one of you has to give in. Otherwise it will be hard for the media to let this go."


    Anthony sipped his tea calmly as Chad continued analyzing, "The head of Cahan Group and his wife


    are having marital problems and publicly getting divorced. The stock market is likely going to be


    unstable for two days after this news breaks out. Once they agree on a forced divorce ruling in court,


    you''ll have lost everything without gaining anything back. And yet here you are drinking tea with me."


    Anthony pursed his lips as he tasted the tea''s aroma before saying nonchntly, "This tea is good."


    Chad was speechless at howposed Anthony was despite everything that was happening around


    him. "This situation just won''t end! I''m worried sick about it but how can you stay so calm?"

    "What can I do if I can''t stay calm? It won''t change anything," replied Anthony.


    "Have you tried doing something? How do you know if you don''t try? Don''t forget that you have a son


    together. Once your divorce is finalized, there will be issues regarding custody rights too! Do things


    really need to get so bad between both of you? Alistair will soon start elementary school. Your personal


    affairs could affect him," urged Chad.


    Anthony didn''t say anything more as Chad continued persuading him, "If all else fails, then why not just


    find a washboard and throw it on the ground before kneeling down gracefully. There''s no way that could


    go wrong! In fact…" He paused briefly before pping his hands together decisively, "It''s actually


    perfect, except… well… maybe slightly embarrassing."


    Throughout their conversation from beginning till end, Anthony had never participated in any discussion


    as though he were an outsider looking in.


    ...


    Soon enough, it was time for court.


    Reporters swarmed outside while Mavis arrived early with Raymond and Moore.


    A bunch of reporters surrounded them immediately asking all sorts of questions, afraid they might miss


    out on this juicy piece of gossip.


    Raymond and Moore acted like her bodyguards shielding her from all those pesky reporters who kept


    pushing forward.


    Raymond said firmly, "My sister cannot answer specific questions right now but please rest assured


    that there will definitely be results after today''s hearing. Someone must take responsibility for his past


    mistakes."


    The implication of these words was quite obvious, and the reporters were all skilled at reading between


    the lines, so there was no way they couldn''t understand.


    Within minutes, search terms like "Cahan Group CEO involved in marital misconduct" and "Anthony''s


    infidelity" had all surged to the top of trending topics.


    Everyone outside the courthouse anxiously awaited Anthony''s appearance as the trial drew near.


    As they waited, Moore nervously asked Mavis, "Last time at the civil affairs bureau he never showed


    up. He wouldn''t pull something like that again, would he?"


    Mavis sat calmly in the courthouse lobby and replied surprisingly coolly, "It wouldn''t be interesting if he


    used the same trick twice. His personality isn''t like that."


    Just as she finished speaking, amotion could be heard from outside.


    "It''s Mr. Cahan''s luxury car! Mr. Cahan is here!"


    The journalists outside became chaotic and swarmed towards entrance but were blocked by security


    guards.


    Only Anthony, Kane and Chad came inside in front of everyone else. When Anthony entered with


    steady steps without any pretense or showmanship, Mavis said coldly, "There are only five minutes


    until court begins. Since we''re all here, let''s go together."


    "Wait a minute," Kane spoke for Anthony, "Mr. Cahan has something to say to you."


    Mavis sat back down on her waiting chair, "Speak then."


    All the media were blocked outside the door by the Cahan family''s bodyguards and court security.


    The door was shut, and even the surveince cameras were turned off. The entire hall was upied


    only by a few familiar faces, and they were all well-acquainted with each other. They could do


    something absurd without worrying about making a scene.


    Facing Mavis'' confusion along with others'', Chad gave Kane a signal with his eyes, "What are you


    waiting for? Take out your weapon!"


    "Oh oh!" Kane reacted slowly but finally took out his long-hidden white foot massage mat from behind


    him before throwing it towards Mavis'' direction.


    With a snap sound, itnded directly on floor tiles right in front of her feet.


    Mavis was taken aback and instinctively pulled back her feet. In the next moment, she saw Anthony


    take a few steps forward and without any hesitation, he knelt down on the foot massage mat.


    His tall figure over six feet suddenly bent halfway down yet still maintained an imposing presence


    despite being physicallypromised.


    Anthony looked coldlyposed without showing any awkwardness or stage fright. His demeanor


    remained unbroken even though everyone around him felt uneasy.


    As long as he was not embarrassed, then those who felt embarrassed will be others instead.


    Mavis, Raymond and Moore were extremely confused at the same time.


    The usually proud and arrogant Anthony actually softened publicly - especially given this type of


    asion within the courtroom hall?


    Kane covered his eyes unable to watch anymore yet couldn''t resist peeking through fingers


    asionally either way.


    Chad stifled augh, and it was so hard to hold back. He had known Anthony for years, and now he


    was kneeling in front of them! This epic moment was worth recording. Chad quietly took out his phone


    and opened the camera, snapping a side profile shot. It was a good one too.


    This kind of thing couldn''t be kept to himself alone. Chad couldn''t resist sharing the sessful


    snapshot with Lyra, Malcolm, and Keira in their group chat. The chat exploded with crazy discussions


    between Lyra and Keira.


    Anthony had no idea that his actions had caused such an uproar among all his loved ones in their


    group chats. His spine straightened as he knelt there silently. Although he didn''t say anything, his


    attitude of admitting fault was extremely dignified.


    Mavis was dumbfounded.


    She couldn''t believe what she saw even after several minutes passed by. The man who knelt before


    her like this turned out to be Anthony! It was impossible not to feel her heart tremble at this moment.


    This man used to have so many bad ideas and refused to give up on anything easily, but now he


    kneeled before her without saying a word?


    She rubbed her eyes several times just to make sure that what she saw was real.


    In the dead silence that followed, Chad cleared his throat twice as a reminder, "Don''t keep your mouth


    shut like you''re glued together. Speak up."


    Anthony pursed his lips while staring at Mavis with those exquisite deep blue eyes without blinking


    once, "I pretended I''mme because I wanted you stay with me instead of oppressing or enving you.


    I apologize for all my previous mistakes."


    When it came down to talking about past hurts, Mavis'' eyebrows furrowed tightly together, "What do


    you want?"


    Anthony''s face looked handsome even though he kneeled down like this. It looked like an oil painting


    again nor mention divorce."


    "Don''t leave?" Mavis felt chills running through her body when she heard these wordsing from him


    despite being suggested by someone else. Anthony still remained arrogant as ever ustomed giving


    orders.


    "You look pleasing when humbled, but speaking makes people sick of listening," she said coldly. "Why


    can''t we live our lives normally? Why should everyone worship or tter around you? The world doesn''t


    revolve around just one person."


    Anthony realized that he misspoke, "That''s not what I meant... I''m not forcing anything upon anyone."


    "What did you mean then?"


    He lowered his eyelids, rarely showing submission, "It''s just…a request."
