According to the driver, this new secretary was called Evelyn Yi.

Ethan had recruited her during a business trip to the south, attracted by her fair skin, beautiful appearance, and long legs.

As soon as I entered the office, Evelyn called out to me in a coquettish voice, "Sister Stella."

Elaine was sitting on the sofa, and before I could even greet her, Ethan pulled Evelyn behind him.

"Evelyn is young and innocent.

If you have any grievances, you can take them out on me."

I watched this scene coldly, finding it utterly ridiculous.

If I weren't Ethan's wife in the legal sense, I would have almost believed that the two of them were the actual couple.

"You should move out of the house.

I've been in love with Evelyn for three years, and now I should give her a proper status."

The corners of my mouth twitched slightly.

Three years? Our marriage had also lasted three years, but he didn't mention that, did he?

What surprised me even more was that since Ethan started speaking, his mother, who was sitting on the sofa beside him, remained silent.

She treated me as if I were invisible, allowing her son to humiliate me in every possible way.

Outside the glass window, several colleagues poked their heads out from their workstations, all paying attention to the commotion here.

My assistant, Zoe Zhou, who was standing behind me, called out softly, "Stella..."

I noticed her giving me a meaningful look, and that's when I realized something was amiss.

Evelyn's belly was slightly protruding, indicating that she was likely pregnant.

No wonder Elaine remained silent.

After all, during the time Ethan was away, her favorite pastime was researching various secret recipes for nourishing the fetus.

She even urged me to wear all kinds of revealing "battle robe."

to visit Ethan in other provinces for intimacy.

Now that she had a ready-made grandchild, how could she still care about me?

I'm not the type to cling on desperately.

In any case, my marriage to Ethan was merely to repay the life-saving grace he had shown when thugs kidnapped my father.

To show my gratitude, I was married off to him.

There wasn't much affection between us, to begin with.

Just as I was about to sign the divorce agreement Ethan handed me and leave, I heard a voice ring out from behind me.

"I'll take the wife that President Qin doesn't want!"

The owner of this voice was none other than Ethan's nemesis, Nolan Han.

Nolan Han, the president of Han Group.

I was full of suspicion.

Could it be that there was a bidding project between the two companies recently?

Otherwise, how could he be so well-informed and come to watch the show so quickly?

What I didn't expect even more was that he would actually speak up for me.

"Nolan Han, what are you doing here, joining in the excitement."

Ethan, that old fox, naturally heard the provocation in Nolan's words.

How could he tolerate someone else's sarcasm?

Evelyn timidly hid behind Ethan, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"I'm here to take Stella away, of course.

You may be blind, but I'm not."

Nolan said, coming close to me with an ambiguous tone.

"Shall we go, sis?"

My legs went weak for a moment because I saw sincerity in his eyes.

It seemed like he had really come for me.

This scene instantly turned Ethan's face ashen, after all, I was still his rightful wife at the moment.

"President Han, this is our family matter.

Aren't you meddling too much?"

Ethan took a few steps to block the way between Nolan and me, abruptly cutting off our eye contact.

Nolan looked at him expressionlessly.

"President Qin is so fierce.

Stella must have been scolded a lot at home, right? If it were me, I would only spoil her as my wife."

As soon as these words came out, Ethan clenched his fists tightly.

Seeing that he was about to take action, I quickly stepped in front of Nolan.

"Since President Qin wants a divorce, let's bring out the agreement and sign it.

We'll go our separate ways from now on."

Ethan opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word.

Indeed, what else could he say? To say words of retention to me in front of Evelyn?

I knew he couldn't do it at all.

Moreover, if it weren't for the financial support from my Leng family, how could the Qin Group have achieved its glory today?

"Stella..."

Ethan's tone suddenly softened.

"Sis, don't pay attention to this scumbag! I'm telling you, he's already tainted! A man who betrays his marriage can't be kept!"

It was the first time I heard such blunt words from Nolan.

However, not only did I not find it offensive, but I even somewhat agreed with him.

I glanced at Evelyn's obviously protruding belly.

Evelyn noticed my gaze and immediately put on her signature act.

She coquettishly leaned into Ethan's embrace and said in a soft voice, "Sister Stella also has a new lover? That's perfect, we can leave together."

This move completely reversed black and white, directly whitewashing her and Ethan.

Nolan wanted to say something more, but I gently tugged on his sleeve and gestured for him to keep quiet.

It was time to end this farce.
