Chapter 5

But he was not afraid now, was he?

In a daze, Maxime entered the room. After seeing my clothes, he stopped two meters away from me.

It wasn’t that he no longer felt afraid, Susan was simply the exception.

"Are you sick? When did it happen?"

It must have been a long time, under the high pressure that he asked me to give a report every month and wash off a layer of skin.

In the pain of losing a child, helpless in sensing his desertion.

I thought that since he came to ask, he should be a little concerned, but he thought to himself and said, "What you just did is no longer suitable for being a doctor."

"Quit your job. You've always wanted a child, haven't you? I've thought about Susan's child."

"You just need to announce at the press conference that she is your distant cousin who got pregnant out of wedlock."

"And if you are infertile, you will adopt her child in the future and record it in our name."

"We will live together from now on and you will take care of the children together."

I clenched my fists and even thought I heard wrongly, how could he have the nerve to say such a shameless request?

"What if I don't want to?" I chewed the soft meat in my mouth.

"Amber, can you be more sensible? That's my child too."

I sneered, "With divorce, she and her children will be able to live happily ever after."

Maxime didn't speak for a long time and then he sighed, "If you don't agree, I will ask the hospital to stop your mother's treatment and you can decide on your own."

"Don't even think about finding my parents. They have gone to meditate and you can't contact them."

My mother's kidney disease could only be cured by that special hospital in the country. He was trying to kill my mother.

I compromised.

On the day of the press conference, I was sitting in the main seat.

The staff in the audience whispered, "Look, the main wife can't beat the mistress after all."

"What about the fierce quarrels they had in the company before? I thought there was something different. She didn't agree to anything just for money."

"Who is willing to give up the position of a wealthy wife?"

Susan sat next to me, her face full of ridicule.

"In the final analysis, it's not about occupying Mrs. Douglas's position. I'm ashamed of you for being such a shameless woman."

The press conference had begun.

Maxime pushed a speech in front of me and showed me a satisfied smile. "Just read it accordingly."

I picked up the manuscript and tear it to pieces in front of all the reporters.

Maxime's face was filled with astonishment as he asked, "What are you doing?"

I sneered and pulled the microphone to my mouth.

"Dear friends from the media."

"The purpose of this press conference is to announce that there is a problem in my marriage with Maxime."

"After negotiation, we decided to divorce."
