I said calmly,
“I’m fine. Take good care of her. Don’t let the child go hungry.”
“I knew my wife was the most understanding. I
also told Mom about it. She won’t bully you
anymore in the future.”
“You gave our Chad family a son. You’re a
great contributor. Your husband will hold a
celebration party for you the day after
tomorrow and apologize to you. Just wait for

me obediently.”

The local TV station broadcasted all night that
the president of the Chad Group was willing to
risk everything for the sake of the woman he
loved, and hired dozens of the top experts in
the country overnight by helicopter, just to heal
a small wound on his beloved.
I took out iodine and hemostatic medicine and
simply treated the wounds on my body.
The next day, Chad still hadn’t returned. I
packed up all my belongings and donated them.
And the marriage certificate that I had once
cherished so much was torn into pieces and
thrown into the trash.
At noon on the third day, Chad sent me a
message on WeChat.
“Ashley, I’m done with work. I’m going to the
<

hotel to see them set up the venue first. I’ll have the assistant pick you up this afternoon.”
In fact, he was holding Brittany’s hand, with
Ryan in his arms, shopping in the jewelry stores
of the mall.
Receiving the envious looks and blessings of all the employees.
“Mr. Chad really loves his wife and child. I’ve at least met my sales goals for twenty years. The three of them are too pleasing to the eye.”
“But I heard Mr. Chad booked a bare minimum
banquet at the hotel today. It seems to be
celebrating the birth of his wife’s child.”
“You’re wrong, right? With Mr. Chad’s
extravagant spending on his wife, would he
book something so cheap? Did you see the
necklace Mrs. Chad is wearing? Mr. Chad just
bought it for her this morning. It would be

enough to buy ten hotels.”

And all of this was seen by me, who had just
finished buying a suitcase upstairs.
I didn’t reply to him, took out the divorce
agreement and several documents, and found a
local delivery guy to send them to the banquet
venue later.
After doing all this, I put on my glasses and
went straight to the airport.
A few hours later, Chad finally finished
shopping with Brittany and Ryan and went to
the hotel.
But they were told that I hadn’t shown up yet.
Chad looked at the time. It had been an hour
since the agreed time, and he felt a little
strange. I had never been late for a date with.
him.

Just as he was about to call and ask, the
assistant ran over with the documents, his tone
anxious.
“Mr. Chad, this is bad, Mrs. Ashley has
disappeared. Someone just delivered these
things.”
Chapter 2
Staring at the divorce papers, Chad’s eyes
widened in disbelief.
Ashley wanted to divorce him?!
How could this be?!
Besides the divorce papers, there was also a
USB drive. Chad told his assistant to quickly
play the contents of the USB drive.
But the assistant had rushed out in a hurry and
didn’t bring his laptop. The only place to plug in
the USB drive was the big screen on site, but
there were so many guests here…
Brittany, noticing the commotion, came over
with Ryan in her arms.
“Chad, what’s wrong? Ryan has been bothering
me for half the day. He must want his daddy to
hold him. Give him a hug.”
Г
But Chad couldn’t be bothered with her. He
roared at the assistant,
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and play
it!”
The roar scared Ryan, and he immediately burst
into tears. Brittany soothed the child while
giving Chad a resentful look.
Chad had none of his previous fatherly
affection. His eyes were fixed on the big
screen.
