Ignoring their sneers, I intended to leave. But before I could stand, a hand pressed on my shoulder.
“Trying to leave? Did you get my permission?”
Adeline looked at me with a smug smile and disdain in her eyes.
“Fiona, you have two choices today: take the money and divorce, or I’ll beat you until you do.”
“Think carefully and choose one.”
Hearing Adeline’s words, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Are you sure you want me to choose?”
Adeline, still not realizing the trouble she was in, remained smug.
“Of course, as long as you divorce your husband, I promise you’ll have a good life afterward.”
Suppressing the anger within, I said slowly:
“I can divorce Logan, and I don’t want the money, but…”
I paused deliberately.
“You must first let me make a call because the divorce isn’t solely my decision.”
Adeline laughed heartily after hearing me.
“Fiona, you really think you’re someone important, don’t you? Giving you the choice was a courtesy, not a negotiation.”
“No matter who you call, you must divorce today, understand?”
I detected the threat in her tone but didn’t care, finding it almost amusing.
“I’ve already said, I agree to divorce Logan.”
“But this needs approval from higher–ups; I can’t decide alone.”

Adeline’s face changed, ready to get rough, but Logan stopped her.
“Dear, we’re magnanimous, let’s not fuss over this.”
“Let her make the call. My heart has long been set on you; nothing others say matters.”
Logan thought I was just stalling, looking very pleased with himself.
I was about to argue back, but he continued:
“Fiona, don’t say I didn’t warn you, no matter who you call, I intend to divorce today!”
I believed I was a good wife to Logan after marriage.
I handed over my monthly stipend without fail.
He never worked or did chores, spending days shopping and playing mahjong.
Despite being home only once a year, he was still unsatisfied.
At this moment, my last bit of affection for him vanished completely.
“Logan, don’t flatter yourself, I never intended to persuade you, I just find it disgusting.”
“But you and Adeline, I hope after this call, you won’t regret it.”
“Because by then, no one will be able to save you.”
I thought about giving her a friendly warning, but some people just don’t appreciate it.
Like the campus beauty, Adeline.
“Fiona, you’re still putting on airs in front of me, who will regret it?”
Adeline was about to continue, but I waved my hand to stop her.
“Fine, your words are enough.”
Then, I pulled out my phone and called my leader.
