Chapter 199

I wouldn’t deny that I used Frederick to get that divorce from Jonathan. If he chooses not to keep running the company with me, I’ll respect his decision.

With both men briefly stepping out of my life, I was surprised at how much lighter I felt. I’d just been doing my own thing ever since.

New Voyage took off quickly. We started with small projects, but then one of our mini-games suddenly went viral across the country and brought in huge profits.

One of our investors was very pleased and commissioned us to produce an advertisement. Orders started pouring in so quickly that we could barely keep up.

For a while, I pushed all those tangled emotions and men out of my mind. None of that mattered as much as actual cash in hand.

But one day, a notice came reminding me that Jonathan and I hadn’t officially finalized the divorce. We had signed the agreement and gone to the courthouse once, but we still needed to return a month later to complete the process.

I glanced at it and said casually, “Put it on the schedule.”

I told my secretary, “I’ll need to make time to go and complete the process for the divorce certificate.”

I have Celine as my secretary now. She used to handle technical support, but she preferred managing my schedules, so I reassigned her.

“Got it, boss.”

Hearing her call me that gave me a little thrill inside. Turns out, nothing’s more satisfying than having your own business.

“Ms. Sawyer, please keep next Monday open for the divorce certificate. Someone from Millenia Corporation already came by to go over the details,” Celine said.

I nodded. “Alright, got it.”

She didn’t leave right away, so I glanced at her. “Something wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Celine pressed her lips together, then said nothing more and turned to leave.

I paused and looked out the window. Millenia Corporation’s office wasn’t far from us, but the buildings were worlds apart.

But that’s alright. One day, I’ll build something just as great.

Theirs stood tall in the city center, grand and opulent, a symbol of prestige in Harthville. Mine, in contrast, was just getting started and still finding its footing.

2/2

Monday came quickly, and I cleared all my meetings. When I arrived at the courthouse, I saw a familiar black Cullinan parked out front.

Jonathan hadn’t brought a driver. He came by himself.

I stepped out. The moment our eyes met, we both seemed distant and unfamiliar.

Jonathan wore his usual white shirt and black slacks, his presence calm and commanding. But when he saw me, he froze for a brief second.

He walked over first, and his eyes lingered on me. His expression looked composed, but I could sense something buried underneath.

“Let’s go.”

After a long silence, that was all he said before walking in ahead of me.

I nodded and followed.

There weren’t many couples divorcing that day. Seemed like we were the only ones. When we sat down in front of the officer, he glanced at us with a touch of pity.

“You really want to go through with this?” he asked.

I nodded. “Please make it quick. I have things to do after this.”

Jonathan instinctively glanced at me. His expression was unreadable, clouded with something I couldn’t quite place.

After a long pause, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table and asked, “You’re sure about the divorce?”

He’d jumped in before the officer could ask again. Noticing his hesitation, the officer hesitated too and tried to talk us out of it.

“You two don’t really look like you’ve fallen out of love. Maybe think it over? There’s no rush. You can always come back.”
