A group of employees gathered around, looking at the papers in shock as they realized what the document was.
It was a signed… divorce agreement..
The bold heading on the page stunned many of the employees present.
One of them exclaimed, “What the- Am I really seeing this?”
Another murmured, “It’s a divorce
agreement with
CEO’s signature and his wife’s name. Weren’t they showing off how
in love they were? I never thought they’d be getting divorced…”
A third commented, “Oh my god, this happened too fast! I barely had time to envy them, and now it’s all over?”
An employee cautioned, “You all should stop goss
about the CEO and his wife behind their backs. Have you already forgotten what happened last time? Anyway, if it’s not related to work, pretend you didn’t see it! Also, does anyone know where this divorce agreement came from? Does it need to be submitted, too?”
Another hesitantly replied, “I… I think so, right?”
Someone quietly answered, “This was brought from the CEO’s office, along with all the urgent documents. So, what should we do with this divorce agreement? Is it supposed to be submitted, too?”
The team leader, who had just been scolding them, paused thoughtfully and said, “Since Mr. Hampton sent it over, it must be his intention. Just proceed as usual.”
The crowd responded in unison, “Understood!
That day, the employee group chat at Royal Tower was buzzing as the confirmed news of Richard and Tiffany’s divorce spread like wildfire.
This explosive gossip quickly made the rounds, spreading from one person to the next and creating a sensation. Within hours, the news topped Twitter’s trending list once again!
Since Tiffany had left the marriage with nothing, speculations from the public quickly took a malicious turn.
One comment read: [I bet Tiffany must have done something outrageous, or maybe those rumours about her cheating on Mr. Hampton were true? No wonder he couldn’t tolerate it and kicked her out!]
Another tweet added: [I’m with the comment above. That actually makes sense!]
Yet another tweet countered: [Didn’t the people who got proven wrong last time learn their lesson? Don’t forget that Tiffany isn’t just Mr. Hampton’s wife; she’s also the head of Miracle Healer! Those spirit herbs she makes are priceless. She wouldn’t be hurting for money! Maybe they just had a falling out and decided to split amicably.]
One user wrote: [I’m crying! I barely had time to stan this couple, and now they’re already breaking up?]
Someone else posted: [I’ll just treat it as a dream, but it still hurts when I wake up…
The online discussions were rampant, with various theories and comments circulating across social media.
When Charlie saw the news, he was so furious that his hands shook. He immediately called Tiffany, and his first words were, “You silly girl! How could you let something this big happen and not tell your family?”
Tiffany, who was in the middle of acupuncture treatment, paused in confusion and asked, “Dad, what’s wrong?”
Charlie responded, “What’s wrong? You’re asking me what’s wrong? You foolish child!”

His heart ached for her, knowing his daughter had walked away from her marriage with nothing. He thought, ‘She was distressed yet still worried about me. How naive could she be?‘
Filled with compassion, Charlie wiped away his tears and softened his tone, coaxing her, “It’s okay, sweetheart. Just come home. Daddy will take care of you! I’ll look after you for the rest of your life!”
“Dad, what happened?” Tiffany asked, sensing a bad feeling but trying to suppress it. She quickly gave him a few reassuring words before hanging up.
“There are only three more needles left for this treatment, and can’t get distracted, or all the effort I just put into this treatment will be wasted, Tiffany thought carefully. After another ten minutes of focused work, she finally finished the treatment, sighed in relief, and picked up her phone to check it,
After another ten minutes of focused work, she finally finished the treatment, sighed in relief, and picked up her phone to check it.
As soon as Tiffany opened her phone, a news notification popped up.
The headline read, [Divorce Agreement Exposed! Mr. Hampton Returns to Single Status, Miss Kelley Leaves with Nothing!]
Tiffany froze for a moment. Even though she had anticipated this outcome, her heart still felt a sharp, stinging pain.
Despite having made her decision and mentally prepared herself, there was still a lingering, inexplicable hope within her that Richard wouldn’t sign the agreement and that he wouldn’t give up on her…
She knew this was naive.
And now that her hope had been dashed, she had no right to complain.
Coming back to her senses, Tiffany clicked into the explosive headline. The exposed divorce agreement displayed Richard’s signature.
She thought to herself, ‘Just as bold and unrestrained as I remember. Perfect. From today on, we’ll go our separate ways.
June’s call came through right on time, and she asked, “Miss Kelley! What should we do now?”
“Nothing, just get the divorce certificate and call it even,” Tiffany replied.
Her voice remained so calm that she even had a faint smile on her face. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
On the other end, June paused briefly before respectfully responding, “Understood.”
In Lovell City, once both parties signed a divorce agreement, neither of them had to be present to obtain the divorce certificate.
Naturally, Tiffany did not intend to go and left this task to June.
After hanging up, Tiffany tossed her phone aside and walked to the bedroom window, gazing quietly at the view outside the villa.
Because her back was turned, she didn’t see the man on the bed, who was supposed to be unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes right after her call ended.
He grabbed the phone beside him and scrolled through it. His previously gentle and refined face turned as dark as a storm cloud, his usual calmness replaced with cold fury.
Richard’s entire presence radiated a menacing aura. If Garry had been standing before him at that moment, Richard’s gaze alone would’ve practically bored holes through him.

Before Tiffany could notice, Richard’s fingers quickly tapped a few words, and after pressing confirm, the message was sent.
Garry, who was lounging in the CEO’s office chair with his legs propped up, saw the message pop up. Startled, he jumped out of the chair in shock, his face filled with horror.
Garry cursed, “Damn! I’m in deep trouble!”
This mess was unlike he’d caused before. He could still manage to slip by in the past, but if he didn’t fix this one,
any might not even know how he’d end up dead!

Panicking, Garry howled in distress and rushed out of the office as fast as he could.
A few minutes prior, Tyrone had been called out and reported that he would handle some personal business. It seemed he had probably been called by June to handle the divorce!
Garry sped to City Hall, driving like his life depended on it.
From a distance, he spotted Tyrone walking out of the building.
Garry’s face turned pale, his blood running cold as he nearly choked on the urge to spit blood from the shock.
His legs feeling weak, Garry approached Tyrone. He didn’t even realize his voice was trembling as he stammered, “I–it’s… it’s done?”
This was a complete disaster.
Looking terrified and uncertain, Tyrone saw how grim Garry’s face was. With a pained expression, he asked, “Are you hoping I did or didn’t do it?”
Silence fell between them.
Unable to catch his breath, Garry nearly choked and asked, “What do you think?”
“I… I don’t know,” Tyrone replied, shivering and looking utterly innocent as he thought, ‘Poor me, I feel miserable inside.
Seeing this, Garry softened his tone, trying to sound as gentle as possible, and asked, “Did you complete it? Tell me the truth!”
