Franklin Yates has been trying to sell all his Cole Corp shares these days, but hasn’t found a buyer.
Finally, today, a buyer came to him voluntarily.
Franklin quickly tidied up and went out to meet the buyer.
Sitting in the private club, Franklin ordered a bottle of decent vintage red wine, waiting for the buyer’s arrival.
Unexpectedly, just as the arranged time approached, Nora Cole suddenly pushed open the door.
"What are you doing here?"
Seeing Nora, Franklin scolded her coldly.
Because to him, all his current predicament was caused by Nora.
After being married for so many years, this was probably the closest Nora had gotten to seeing Franklin’s true self.
Looking at her ex-husband, who seemed like a different person, it was impossible for Nora not to feel hurt.
Seeing Nora not replying for a long time, just staring at him, Franklin grew even more furious.
"Isn’t it enough to harm me? Get out now!"
If he had some cash in hand, he would have wanted to hire someone to deal with Nora.
Once he sold those shares, the first thing he would do is take care of her.
Despite being scolded twice by Franklin, Nora laughed.
"So even now, you still think it’s me who did wrong."
"If it’s not your fault, how could it be mine? I cheated simply because it’s a mistake common to all men, yet you want to eradicate me!"
Listening to Franklin’s rant, Nora finally realized that all these years of love were truly wasted.
But perhaps that was for the best.
Her last bit of affection for him was exhausted entirely.
After taking a deep breath, she got straight to the point: "Didn’t you make a deal to meet someone to sell the shares?"
Franklin was stunned for a moment, then realized something.
"Don’t tell me you’re the buyer?"
"I’m not the buyer." Nora’s tone was noticeably calmer than before.
"Then get out. Don’t pollute the air of this room!"
Someone who shared her pillow for years now felt her presence polluted the air.
The corner of her heart that cherished the memories of their ups and downs also quietly died at that moment.
This way, she would never feel heartache for this person again.
After gathering her emotions, Nora continued: "I will leave, but not now. I’ll go after I’ve said what I need to say."
"Then what do you want to say?"
No one expected that the ones speaking in such a confrontational tone were a couple who had been together for years.
"The person who arranged for you to come here was me."
Franklin, angry: "You’re playing me?"
"I’m not playing you. I just wanted to tell you that the shares you clearly transferred without permission have all been returned to my name. It’s true; you can verify it if you don’t believe me. Otherwise, how do you explain why you’re selling the shares at a price much lower than the market value and yet no one contacted you?"
Realizing the truth, Franklin’s face twisted hideously.
"Moreover, I want to tell you, not just these shares, all the assets you previously transferred have now returned to my name. In other words, you’re now penniless."
Franklin shouted: "Do you think taking these will make me return to you? I’m telling you, impossible! Your actions are utterly disgusting!"
But listening to his arrogant speech, Nora calmly took out two booklets from her bag and handed one to Franklin.
"I never intended for you to come back to me, nor to return to the family, I think this is the best proof..." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel-fire.ɴet
Franklin quickly picked up the booklet to look, and it was a divorce certificate!
At that moment, he was truly stunned.
