Ethan held his new lover and coldly instructed his secretary to bring the documents.

I signed with a flourish, one copy each for Ethan and me.

Just like that, my three-year nominal marriage with Ethan finally came to an end.

Looking at the thin sheets of paper in my hand, I suddenly felt much more relaxed.

The corners of my mouth unconsciously curled upward.

Ethan saw me smiling happily, and his face turned even uglier.

He said irritably, "The divorce is done, so what are you still doing here?"

Evelyn also straightened her back, looking smug and triumphant.

I couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them and turned around to call my secretary, Zoe Zhou.

I whispered a few words in her ear, and her previously indignant face instantly lit up with a smile.

"Understood! Leave it to me, Ms.

Leng!"

Nolan curiously leaned over, "What did you say to her? Why is she suddenly so happy?"

"What, not calling me 'sis' anymore."

I teased.

Nolan's face instantly turned red up to his neck.

At this moment, Evelyn put on the airs of a vice president and said hypocritically, "Sister Stella, why don't you go sit in the break room for a while? Don't be in a hurry to leave."

I knew she wanted to get rid of me, but I deliberately went against her wishes.

I pulled Nolan to sit down and leisurely drank tea while watching the show.

Three, two, one...

"President Qin! Something terrible has happened! Stella...

no, Ms.

Leng has transferred all our company's core assets!"

Old Wang stumbled into the office, out of breath as he reported.

At this time, Nolan was peeling an apple for me.

His slender, fair fingers were even more tempting than the apple itself.

Ethan, who already disliked him, was now fuming with anger.

Elaine, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, could no longer sit still and sprang up from the sofa.

"Oh, Mrs.

Qin is here too? Stella is such a good daughter-in-law, so why don't you persuade your son? Hearing this news seems to have energized you?"

Nolan continued his sarcastic remarks, standing up for me.

These words made Elaine's face turn red with anger.

Suddenly, a warmth surged in my heart.

Ever since my father passed away, no one had protected me like this.

However, I knew that she was even angrier about what I had just done.

After all, the Qin family's success today was entirely built on the money from my Leng family.

"President Han, this is a private matter of our Qin family.

There's no need to trouble yourself!"

As expected, like mother, like son.

Elaine's words were identical to Ethan's.

But now, I was already a free woman.

I leisurely took out the newly signed divorce agreement and waved it in front of Elaine's eyes.

The ink hadn't even dried yet.

Elaine was instantly rendered speechless and instead started berating me for transferring the company's assets.

She stopped an employee carrying a folder and said sarcastically, "What sins have I committed? I kindheartedly agreed to this marriage, only to be bitten in return!"

The way Elaine said it made it seem like my marriage to Ethan was her greatest blessing.

My father passed away not long after I married Ethan.

He had always been in good health but suddenly fell seriously ill.

The cause of the illness couldn't be determined, and without even conducting an autopsy, Ethan hastily arranged for his cremation.

I had always had doubts in my heart, but unfortunately, there was no evidence.

Thinking about my father's mysterious death, my face instantly darkened.

Nolan noticed my change in mood and quietly shielded me behind him.

Evelyn saw this scene and thought I was feeling guilty.

She immediately started singing in harmony with Elaine, spouting nonsense.

They fabricated stories about how I had bullied the Qin Group, their voices loud enough to attract employees from other floors.

People always love to watch a spectacle, and they began pointing fingers at Nolan and me.
