Chapter 234


    Upon her arrival at Chase Headquarters, L took out a hundred in cash and handed it to the driver.


    Then, she stepped out of the taxi without waiting for her change.


    Most of the employees had left by now and there were only a few of them working overtime on each


    floor of the headquarters. When the security guard manning the lobby downstairs saw L, he quickly


    pressed the button for the elevator.


    It wasn’t hard to guess why L was here and the security guard was only being helpful as he said,


    “Miss Fisher, Director Chase has only just gone up.”


    L’s nails dug into her palms when she heard that. She entered the elevator before she pressed the


    button to close the door and for the designated floor respectively.


    As the elevator began to make its climb, her chest tightened with rage and anxiousness. When the


    doors opened with a ‘ding’, she walked out and headed down the hallway.


    It was quiet on this floor, but the lights were turned on.


    Her eyes immediately found Sean’s office, which was situated at the end of the long hallway. She took


    a deep breath and wore a calm front as she marched toward the office.


    Sean was staring at the document on his desk. It was nothing more than a simple set of divorce papers


    with neither signature nor stamp to validate it.


    He had found it at Myra’s work station, which had been vacant ever since she left. When he returned to


    Chase Group earlier, he was inexplicably drawn toward her workstation whereupon he saw the divorce


    papers.


    He remembered the time when everyone had used her of leakingpany trade secrets on


    Hilliville. She had said that the only thing she took from his office was a set of divorce papers and


    nothing else. No one had believed her, not even him himself.


    Now that the divorce papers were before him, how could he believe Myra?


    Could he believe that these divorce papers were, as she had said, taken from the desk in his office?


    Had she designed the documents to cover up for her lies instead?


    Sean wasn’t sure what to think. All he knew was that if he had a chance to go back in time, he would


    not be so quick to judge Myra, although it was toote for him to do anything now.


    “Sean!” A voice cried abruptly, pulling him from his thoughts.


    He looked up with a frown to see that L had stormed down the hallway and into his office.


    There was a sour look on her face, and her eyes immediately registered the document on his desk.


    She was more than familiar with it. After all, she had been the one to type out the heading and now the


    words ‘Divorce Agreement’ seemed to leap off the page to greet their maker.


    L’s heart jolted and a momentter, she watched as Sean calmly slid the divorce papers to one side


    of his desk. He looked up at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”


    She didn’t know why the papers were with him. She was sure that Myra had taken them. If the papers


    were here with him, could it mean that he’d figured things out?


    L could feel her heart racing and her fists were clenched at her sides. She seemed to have forgotten


    why she came in the first ce.


    When Sean saw that she was staring at the document with what looked like shock on her face, he


    pursed his lips and repeated tly, “What’s wrong, L?”


    She saw that while there was a look of mild indifference in his eyes, he didn’t appear to be harboring


    any anger. The unease in her dissipated slightly. She convinced herself that there was no way he could


    have figured things out, because if he had, he wouldn’t be so calm and collected. She shook off her


    worry before biting her lip as tears pricked her eyes. “Sean, are you hiding something from me?”


    The resentment was clear on her face.


    L had felt as though she could instantaneouslybust when she heard the sales assistant saying


    earlier that the other woman was pregnant with Sean’s child. She couldn’t let things go south, not when


    she’d only just married him, and especially not when it concerned the Chase Family lineage!


    Meanwhile, after hearing what she’d said, Sean felt the vein near his temple began to pulse again. He


    reached for the divorce papers once more and began to flip through it, reading the words in earnest.


    When he did not respond, she only grew more anxious and upset. She crossed over and snatched the


    divorce papers away from him, snapping, “Answer me! Are you hiding something from me? Are you


    and Mom up to something terrible behind my back? Do you know how much I love and trust you,


    Sean? I was forced to stay away from you for two years, but I did that for you! How could you treat me


    like this after all that we’ve been through to be together again?”


    She was getting more agitated as she spoke. Her heart clenched with rage at the thought of the other


    woman bearing a son for Sean. When did that b*tch even climb into his bed in the first ce? How


    dare she be pregnant with his child?


    “L, what could Mom and I possibly be hiding from you?” Sean was getting annoyed with her and he


    frowned when he caught the crazed look in her eyes.


    He found himself worn out all the time from his marital and family life ever since he married L. It was


    as though she had turned into apletely different person. She was no longer as gentle or


    considerate as she had once been and instead spent her days being jealous and suspicious. He knew


    that women often experienced a change in temperament following their pregnancy, but he was


    beginning to be tired of her dramatics and the effects they had on his life.


    He couldn’t help but think about his encounter with Myra today. He thought about how calm and


    independent she’d been, how there was a gentle warmth to her cid disposition. He remembered how


    it was when they’d been married. Eve had constantly spoken up for her and imed that she shared a


    friendly rtionship with thetter. Myra had never once caused him trouble.


    As he thought of these, his gaze flickered over to the divorce papers once again and he appeared to be


    in a daze.


    L, on the other hand, noticed that he was looking at the divorce papers. Coupled with what he’d


    said, she was beginning to feel threatened. She had never felt this way before; she had never felt that


    everything was slipping out of her hands.


    She remembered what Kris had told her the other day. She registered the look on Sean’s face and


    thought about how he had been distant and cold with hertely—how he’d humored her instead of


    paying attention to her.


    Lyra’s nails dug into her palms painfully, but the gaze with which she regarded the man before her was


    calm. “Don’t tell me you’re still thinking about Myra, Sean.”


    Sean snapped out of his thoughts and shook off the dazed look on his face. His face was grim as he


    looked at her and he responded coldly, “L, if you’re here only to make unreasonable usations


    against me, then I’m afraid I don’t have the time to argue with you. I have a lot of work to do today, so


    I’ll be spending the night in the office. You should head back home.”


    “Unreasonable usations?” All the tears and bitter resentment she’d pushed down had bubbled up


    within her and burst. She was turning pale with fury as she pointed at the divorce papers. “Kris told me


    that you went to see Myra. Why did you do that? There is nothing left between the both of you, so why


    did you look for her? You said you’d spend the whole day with me, but you left me alone instead!


    You’ve been cold and distant with me these days. Is it because you’re expecting a child with another


    woman? Is that why you don’t care about me or our baby anymore?”


    “Do you even know what you’re talking about, L?” Sean’s face was thunderous.

    “Of course I know what I’m talking about! Tell me right now, Sean—are you expecting a baby with


    another woman?”


    “You’re impossible!” He roared. He stood up abruptly, took the suit jacket that had been draped over the


    back of his chair, and made his way toward the door.


    However, L pulled his arm before he could reach the door.


    Tears were streaming furiously down her cheeks as she glowered at him, shouting, “Don’t you dare


    leave, Sean! Let me tell you this—I will not let that child be born! And if you were to divorce me, you


    should know that I’d never agree to sign the papers!”


    A sudden ‘bang’ resounded in the room, shocking L and silencing her sobs.
