Chapter 2
Victor paused for a moment, probably not expecting me to agree so quickly.
“I could sign, but I want you to promise me one thing.”
I looked up at Victor, my gaze calm as water, without a ripple.
A complex expression flashed across Victor’s face. After a brief silence, he nodded in agreement.
“Any other requirements can be raised, and I will try my best to fulfill them.”
I didn’t say anything, picked up the pen on the table, flipped to the last page of the divorce agreement, and signed “Giselle Sinclair” neatly.
“Don’t you read the agreement?” Victor furrowed his brows, his gaze filled with a hint of confusion and bewilderment,
staring straight at me.
I smiled and said, “No need, it’s not necessary.” I raised my hand, closed the pen cap, and handed the divorce agreement
to Victor.
“Anything else?”
I shifted my gaze from Victor to the doorway, speaking in a calm tone as if discussing a mundane matter.
“I will come to pick you up and take you to the courthouse tomorrow morning.”
I nodded slightly, without responding.
Victor looked at me with a complicated expression, but in the end, he just sighed softly and didn’t say anything else before
turning around and leaving.
Sylvia followed behind Victor, but in the moment of opening the door, she suddenly stopped, turned her head to the side,
and glanced at me with a hint of mockery in the corner of her eye and a smirk on her lips.
Immediately, she deliberately slowed down her movements, her thin lips slightly parted, silently uttering three words: “I
won.” Then she turned and left.
In the previous life, she indeed won, while I lost everything.
But in this lifetime, I don’t want to lose again, not even a single cent.
After a while, my phone screen suddenly lit up, it was a message from Linden Hayes.
“Giselle, I heard Victor say that he indeed did wrong in this matter.”
“But you know, it took Victor a long time to get over Sebastian’s affair back then.”
He transferred all his guilt towards Sebastian onto Sylvia.
“When the public opinion calmed down, he told me that he wanted to give you a grand wedding banquet again. Do you believe him, okay?”
I saw the message Linden sent and couldn’t help but laugh, but tears welled up in the corners of my eyes.
It was the same in the previous life.
In order to force me to sign the divorce agreement, Victor sought help from his friends to come up with a plan.
But he forgot, his friend is also my friend.
The onlookers are clear while the participants are confused.
Linden couldn’t bear to see the two people who were once so in love end up in this situation.
While earnestly advising Victor not to sacrifice his own marriage for Sylvia.
