Chapter 139 Did Good-looking Do Him Any Good


    Seeing the tall man continue to walk without any intention of waiting, the woman sped up to catch up


    with him.


    "Hey you, slow down!" she shouted. "People always say that you can never trust a man''s words, but I


    never took it seriously. Now I know it''s true! It hasn''t even been a year and you already can''t wait to get


    a divorce! Nowadays you don''t want to talk to me at all. I bet you''ve forgotten all those times you asked


    me out. Now, you cheated on me with another woman! I knew it!


    I can''t believe I didn''t see through your nice guy act. If I had seen you through, I would''t have said yes


    when you knelt down in front of my home, and I should have let you kneel there as you liked!"


    No matter what the woman threw his way, the man continued walking without saying anything. He had


    gotten tired of her long ago and didn''t care about her at all.


    "Remember our deal? The apartment is mine. Everything inside it is mine. The refrigerator, the


    microwave oven, the cooker! You''re not getting anything!"


    The woman shouted, finally catching up to the man and grabbing his arm. She wasn''t going to let go of


    him until he said something she wanted to hear.


    "Fine, it''s all yours! Take whatever you like, " the man replied impatiently. He pulled his arm out of her


    grip and walked faster.


    "You really don''t want anything?" the woman prodded, unsatisfied with his reply. Her voice was furious


    but her eyes were brimming with tears. "I see how it is! You want nothing but the bitch!"


    The man adjusted his sunsses before ncing at her with a frown. All this was nothing but an act so


    that they could walk into the court without being recognized. Why was she crying?


    "I already told you, there wasn''t another woman. Whether you believe it or not is up to you, " he said in


    no hurry. He didn''t even spare a nce at the crowd of journalists at the gate of the court when he


    passed by them.


    The journalists watched the arguing pair walk into the court.


    They were waiting for something big to happen, not even caring about the hot weather outside.


    To beat the heat, they ate ice-creams as they chatted with each other.


    "Look, I bet they''re going to get a divorce. The quicker people get married, the quicker they get


    divorced."


    "Exactly! Young people today think of marriage as a game. They get married when they barely know


    each other. Their morals are getting worse day by day."


    Once the man was sure that the journalists at the gate couldn''t see them anymore, he slowed down,


    took off his sunsses, and turned to his woman.


    "Youngdy, I never knew that you are such a good actress, " he teased.


    The desperate expression on the woman''s face was gone, now reced by a big smile. "There''s a lot


    you don''t know about me, " she said slyly.


    The man and woman were Hiram and Rachel. Hiram, who usually wore formal suits, was wearing a


    casual T-shirt and jeans. He looked less like the serious president of Stream Company and more like a


    bright and promising young man who had just graduated from college.


    Heughed and wrapped his arm around Rachel''s shoulders. He slowed down his pace and they


    walked inside together.


    Luke had been waiting for them inside the court.


    When he saw the couple walking in, he didn''t recognize that they were Hiram and Rachel. After a


    nce at them, he shifted his eyes to the gate again.


    ''They haven''t arrived yet. What''s making them sote today?'' he wondered.


    "Hello, my dearwyer! Who are you waiting for?"


    Rachel asked, jumping in front of Luke''s face with a smile.


    Luke was nearly startled to death. When he finally recognized who was standing in front of him, he


    dropped the pen in his hand. He looked at them wide-eyed and open-mouthed, and said, "Oh, my


    goodness! I couldn''t recognize you at all. I was just wondering why you guys hadn''te on time. Look


    at you!


    Oh, I forgot! There are journalists waiting outside! You two dress like this to avoid them, right?"


    Rachel nodded. "You''re absolutely right, mywyer! I don''t want to see myself in the news early in the


    morning. Besides, remarriage to the same person is not something to celebrate."


    "Okay, now that you''re here,e on, follow me!" Luke loosened his necktie a little as he stood up and


    walked to fetch the documents that he had prepared for them.


    "Hiram, you look brilliant today, the most attractive I''ve ever seen you look!" Rachelmented. She


    was admiring him with love in her eyes.


    If she had gone to college with Hiram, she would have definitely had a crush on him. She would have


    adored him and wanted to stay with him for as long as she could.


    Hiram shed a smile at Rachel. "I do? Well, since I seem to have pleased you so much, do I get a


    reward?" he asked, walking up to the desk and taking a seat beside it.


    Rachel took a seat beside him, pondering over what he had just said.


    "Hey, Hiram, how do I look today?" she asked casually, taking the documents Luke was passing to her.


    Hiram grabbed a pen to sign the documents Luke had given him. "Hm, you look all right, " he said


    without thinking.


    To him, Rachel was attractive, but the most attractive part of her wasn''t her appearance.


    Rachel, who had just begun signing her name, stopped when she heard Hiram''s words. ''All right? How


    can those words be used to describe a woman?'' She wondered.


    Hiram finished signing his documents and looked over at Rachel. She had only signed her family name


    on hers. He raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Listen, you''re the most special woman in my life."


    Rachel really was special to him. If she hadn''t shown up, he might never have gotten married. He


    would have spent his whole life alone.


    But she had showed up. It was only after that he learned what it meant to feel his heart beat faster, as


    well as the love between man and woman. He even tasted the feeling of losing her, which he wouldn''t


    allow to happen again.


    "Uh-huh, that''s enough. Stop being so lovey-dovey in front of me, " Luke said, knocking on the desk


    and staring at the couple disdainfully.


    How could they show off like that? Was he the only one who didn''t have a partner?


    ''Wait and see, '' Luke thought to himself. He would find a girlfriend as soon as possible. They would


    happily spend time together at home and outside, and they would definitely show off their love in front


    of Rachel and Hiram once in a while.


    Rachel, who had lost herself in Hiram''s dreamy eyes after hearing his sweet words, was sessfully


    drawn back to reality by Luke. She lowered down her head and signed the documents hurriedly.


    "There are two other copies. Please sign them too. I''ll go get them sealedter. After that, we''re done


    here." Luke brought them another two documents.

    After they signed, Luke looked at Hiram and said, "You asked me to prepare a marital property


    agreement before. Here it is. Take a good look at it. If everything is okay, you can both sign it."


    Rachel raised her head from the document and looked at the man sitting beside her. Hiram merely


    nodded his head, handed over his signed document and took the two new documents from Luke''s


    hands. He gave one of the copies to Rachel.


    Rachel finished signing her name quickly and handed the document to Luke. Then, she began reading


    the new document Hiram gave her. It was a marital property agreement.


    Even though she had never heard of such an agreement before, every detail in the document had been


    exined in such a professional manner by Luke that it was easy for Rachel to understand it.


    It seemed that when people got married or divorced, only notarized marital property agreements were


    protected by thew. Most other agreements didn''t hold up in court, especially verbal ones.


    When Rachel read a few of the uses, she raised her head and looked at Hiram. She asked with


    uncertainty, "Hiram, if you sign this agreement, you''re agreeing to give me half of the shares in your


    It wasn''t only the shares. There was countless real estate,panies and other properties she had


    never heard of. The details of all the properties were listed in the agreement, including their addresses.


    ording to the agreement, Rachel would get half of all those properties.


    "Good question, Rachel! But let me answer this one for Hiram. If he''s agreeing to such an agreement, it


    means he''s never going to let you go for the rest of your life. Believe me. So, stop worrying about him


    and think it over. I can tell you that this is much moreplicated than the previous divorce agreement,


    " Luke said.


    He had more to add, but after feeling Hiram''s cold gaze on him, he hastily turned around and went


    upstairs.


    "Don''t listen to him. All I want to do is make sure that you''ll get what you deserve in case something


    bad happens, " said Hiram in a low voice. He signed his name on thest page. He continued, "Since I


    promised that I''ll sign a new agreement, I''ve to take out something from my pocket, right?"


    Rachel hesitated for a while, but then she decided to stop overthinking and finally signed.


    All in all, if Hiram gave her half of his property, he would never divorce her again. Otherwise, he would


    be the dumbest man alive.


    Ever since the moment Rachel agreed to marry Hiram, she hadn''t thought of anything else but living


    happily together forever.


    A ghost of a smile appeared on Hiram''s face as he watched Rachel sign her name.


    ''Okay, youngdy, I''ll have you in the palm of my hand for the rest of your life, " he thought to himself.


    What both Rachel and Luke didn''t know was, Luke waspletely right except for one thing.


    Hiram Rong never did business that he wouldn''t profit from. Every business he put his money into


    repaid him by tenfold at least.


    He had his hidden motives.


    When everything was over, Hiram and Rachel walked to the gate of the court.


    But this time, they weren''t lucky enough.


    A journalist who had already seen Hiram twice in person finally got a good look at his face and


    recognized him immediately. He ran to Hiram with his camera.


    "Mr. Rong!"
