Chapter 795 It Was Signed Long Ago
The same items were still in the box. Josie checked them one by one, only breathing a sigh of relief
once she confirmed everything was in order. It wasn’t until she got to the very bottom that she found a
thin document tucked away. It was the same size as the box and could easily have been overlooked.
Josie furrowed her brows, attempting to pick it up. It was a document consisting of only a few pages,
densely packed with words. She brought it closer, puzzled. The ring bold letters made her frown
deepen.
It was a divorce agreement!
It was Dexter’s and her divorce agreement. The wording was meticulous, clearly drafted by a renowned
lawyer, detailing the division of assets between the two after the divorce.
Josie flipped through the pages one by one. Clearly, this divorce agreement was different from the one
Xanthe had initially given her. This one was more… tolerable. It stated that after the divorce, Dexter
would grant Josie an eight-figure sum, as well as several estates abroad. She would also receive one
percent of Russell Group’s shares.

This was no longer tolerance-it was generosity.
Josie was puzzled. She had never seen this divorce agreement before, so how did it end up in Paul’s
box?
She turned to thest page, and there, boldly written at the signature line of the man’s side, were two
dried-out words: Dexter Russell.
His pen strokes were firm and difficult for others to imitate. And at the end of his signature was the
official stamp of Russell Group.
Josie instinctively took a step back, clutching the paper tightly. It was a divorce agreement signed by
Dexter!
It was unclear whether it was due to Paul’s improper storage, but the edges of the paper had started to
yellow. This indicated that the agreement had been in existence for quite some time. But exactly when
was this made?
Josie dared not think about it.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to react. Should she be happy? This legally binding agreement
could help her get a divorce and secure her future.
Or should she be upset, as it meant that the man had been contemting divorce for a while now?
From outside came the steady sound of footsteps. Dexter, having taken a bath, didn’t see Josie
anywhere. He walked to the staircase and gently called out, “Josie?”
The sound echoed through the empty house.
No one responded.”
Dexter saw that the light was on, so step by step, he walked to the bedroom door of Paul. His voice
was cold. “What are you doing here?”
Josie didn’t look back. She simply lowered her head to rearrange the items. Only then did she slowly
turn. around, her face weary.
Dexter’s brows furrowed tightly, his gaze falling on the pieces of paper she was gripping in her hand.
He had a bad feeling about this.
“Josic.”
Silence ensued.
She lifted the papers, her smile tinged with bitterness. “Perhaps I should thank Paul. In such difficult
times, he managed to preserve some benefits for me.”
When Dexter saw the title of the document, his expression changed drastically. He reached out,
attempting to snatch it, but Josie dodged his grasp.
“You’ve been good to me. Dexter.” Josie took out a pen from her pocket, the tip hovering above the
paper. “To have gained so much from being your wife for two years is an honor.”
“Josie! This agreement is unenforceable!” In an instant, Dexter felt a severe sense of loss, as if he was
about to lose her in the truest sense in the next second.
“I understand that Russell Group’s stamp is not to be used lightly,” Josie said, carefully signing her
name on it. “But I don’t want any of the things written here. Things havee to this point, and I’ve
already let you down. Leaving you is what I should do.”
Dexter acted as if he hadn’t heard her, stepping forward to snatch the pen from her. But it was already
toote; she had already signed it.
He pressed down on the back of her hand. “There should be two copies of the divorce agreement. You
merely signed one so it’s unenforceable.”
