The moment Evelyn Curtis reached the door, she happened to hear Justin Battleson’s confession.
She was immediately stunned, quickly refraining from the step she was about to take inside.
Then, she heard Charlotte’s accusation.
As it turns out, Sophie Allen had no idea about Justin Battleson’s true identity and was naively under the impression that she had married Justin’s younger brother.
Evelyn Curtis instantly saw the light.
But why would Justin Battleson do this?
If he didn’t want to marry Sophie, he could have simply refused. Why change identities and pose as a younger brother?
Just as Evelyn was full of questions, Sophie Allen’s voice echoed again from inside.
"Justin Battleson, I’m not adjusting the perfume anymore! I’ve signed an IOU for one million dollars for you already, as well as for giving you Ryan Battleson’s identity!"
With teary eyes and an unsteady chest, she suppressed her rage, striving to stay calm.
He was more terrifying than Ryan Richard, and infinitely stronger. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel✦fire.net
She couldn’t beat him.
"Justin Battleson, I will pay you back. Please come with me, and we will go to the civil affairs office—"
She gritted her teeth and spat out these words.
Justin’s dark eyes narrowed, emanating an icy cold aura that sent shivers down one’s spine.
Even so, Sophie braved on, matching his gaze.
Outside the door, Evelyn Curtis was immediately thrilled when she heard Sophie proposing a divorce.
This fool Sophie must not know that her current husband was the man from the resort hotel that night!
Suppressing her laughter, Evelyn waited quietly for the man to agree.
If they were going to the civil affairs bureau, she would tag along, and it would be best if she could get a marriage certificate with Justin Battleson on the spot!
"I don’t have the time."
The next second, this chilly voice echoed.
He got up and strolled over to her with his long legs.
Sophie looked at him with her teary eyes, biting her lip until it went white.
"When... will you have the time?"
"Sophie Allen, the cooling-off period for divorce is 30 days. I will have someone apply for it." Justin Battleson said coldly.
However, his heart was irked.
Sophie suddenly remembered that there was indeed a cooling-off period for divorce now.
She gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "Alright, see you in a month."
With that, she turned to leave.
Suddenly, her arm was caught.
Sophie turned back, and her gaze met Justin’s deep eyes. It was as if she had been sucked into a black vortex.
His gaze made her heart flutter.
Justin Battleson also stared intently at the woman in front of him, his eyebrows furrowed tightly as he firmly held her arm.
Why was there a sudden feeling that he didn’t want to let her go?
"Mr. Battleson, please behave!" Sophie shook his hand off forcefully.
The expression on Justin’s face immediately darkened.
"Sophie Allen, do you really want to get a divorce this badly?" His eyes radiated a chilling light.
Sophie blurted out, "Yes!"
"Would you still want to divorce me if Evelyn Curtis wasn’t involved?" he asked unconsciously.
Sophie was taken aback for a moment.
Evelyn Curtis, who had been rejoicing earlier, suddenly turned pale.
Her finely manicured hands clenched tightly into fists.
No wonder Justin Battleson’s attitude had been changing lately. Although he had been fulfilling her requests, he was indifferent towards her.
It turns out he was really charmed by Sophie Allen!
Evelyn Curtis was seething with anger. She stormed in crying, "Justin, how could you do this to me?"
