Chapter 175 Divorce


    “Why can’t I do some investigation about you after youmitted something shameless like that?”


    Savannah said as if it was a matter of fact.


    Helena cast her a glimpse and said, “Savannah, enough.”


    Savannah pouted and softened her tone as she was afraid to irritate her mom again, “Mom, I was just


    telling the truth.”


    Helena still stared at her.


    So then Savannah kept her mouth shut.


    Steffan now uttered, “Ophelia, pleasee with me to the study. I have a talk to you.“


    Ophelia couldn’t help getting nervous. Helena immediately looked at him, “Ophelia has just discharged


    from the hospital. Why don’t you leave the talk for a few dayster?”


    Steffan smiled, “Helena, don’t worry. It’s just a simple talk. I won’t do anything bad to her.”


    But Helena still looked worried. So Ophelia smiled tofort her, “Helena, don’t worry. Perhaps he has


    something important to tell me.”


    Then Helenapromised, “Honey, now Ophelia is still pregnant. Don’t say anything harsh to her. I will


    come to you for trouble if you scare her!”


    Steffan simply replied with a smile.


    Ophelia then followed him upstairs to the study.


    Steffan pointed at the chair in front of the desk and said, “Take a seat.”


    Ophelia replied in a restrained manner still, “Thank you.”


    As she sat down, Steffan directly cut into the topic, “Ophelia, I make you here just to have a talk about


    the picture. That really annoyed me. And I have ever thought about your divorce with Zachariah. But


    now since you are pregnant, I shouldn’t be so cold-blooded.”


    Hearing that, Ophelia felt like falling into a frozen abyss. Her face also turned to be pale.


    Though Steffan was taciturn, he had always been sagacious. As he could run such a business giant,


    Chambers Group, so well, of course he should be a decisive one. So he always got straightforward into


    the topic.


    Ophelia kept her head down and said, “Mr. Chambers, I am really sorry about the picture. But I can


    exin it.”


    Steffan waved his hand and continued, “I make you here for your divorce with Zachariah. Here is the


    compensation for it.”


    Hearing that, Ophelia was rendered ghastly pale. Staring at the brown paper package on the desk, she


    stammered, “Mr. Chambers, what do you mean?”


    “Ophelia, don’t be mistaken. You are an excellentdy. But I don’t think you fit in the Chambers as my


    daughter-inw.”

    Then Steffan continued calmly, “You have married Zachariah for almost five years. And you have been


    working so hard to fit in the family. To be honest, in spite of your education and family background, you


    did a better job indeed than any other debutantes. However, the two missing parts count much. So…


    inside the package you will get yourpensation, which consists of a share of thepany and one


    twentieth of my personal property. That should be enough to sustain you a decent life. As for the baby,


    you can make it stay in the Chambers Family.”


    Ophelia still stammered, “Can I have a reason for it?”


    “I just want Zachariah to marry ady who could bring him a lot in business.” Steffan said.


    Ophelia replied with a bitter smile, “Mr. Chambers, if Zachariah needs such ady, I can do my best to


    shape myself. I have been married for five years. I used to deem that you had already epted me


    even if you didn’t like me.”


    Steffan said, “You are a gooddy and you have been filial to me and Helena. But your family


    background is too indecent. So that’s what makes me discontent. If you have a discerning eyes about


    the current situation, you should take thepensation and leave the family after the baby is born. I


    am sure that my suggestion would be the best choice for both of you and Zachariah. I still deem Cora


    the best match for Zachariah. Though Helen doesn’t like her, I believe that she would still ept her


    sooner orter.”


    Hearing that, Ophelia felt like being struck hard by a hammer.


    She had been working so hard for the five years. She used to deem that at least the Chambers would


    not hate her anymore even if they favored her either. However, the fact was that all her efforts had


    gone in vain. Steffan was much more cold-blooded than she had ever expected.


    Mixed feelings surged up in her mind. But she still forced out a smile, “Dad, I know what you mean. But


    the marriage is only the matter between me and Zachariah. So you can’t decide on the divorce. If


    Zachariah wanted a divorce, I would not ask for a stay. So I am afraid that I can’t take the


    compensation. Or Zachariah would use me for being ill-mannered.”


    Steffan looked at her, “Ophelia, you are a clever one. So I am sure you should know what is the best


    choice for you.”


    Ophelia nodded and replied with great honest, “I know. But I still insist that only when Zachariah


    chooses to divorce me will I ept it. And I promise I won’t pester him anymore. But I have one


    request only.”


    A trace of coldness shed across Zachariah’s eyes. Then he said, “Go ahead.”


    “If I were to divorce Zachariah, I would not ask for a penny but a single request only.”


    Steffan seemed to be surprised. But soon he returned to be calm while looking at Ophelia for a while as


    if he was judging. Then he said, “Just go ahead.”
