Divorce Decree?!
Xavier looked at it tremblingly.
After a while, he finally reached out with a trembling hand, took it, and opened it, his heart plummeting.
Xavier & Celeste
It was their names written on it.
So Celeste hadn’t run away from home; she had already divorced him.
But why was he unaware of it?
Xavier’s heart was filled with both confusion and fear.
Suddenly, he lifted his gaze and scrutinized Vivian.
Anger welled up in his deep eyes. He grabbed her wrist and questioned, “Why do you have this marriage certificate? Are you behind this?”
Xavier had already suspected her, and now she showed up with the marriage certificate. He wanted to know what she was up to.
His grip tightened due to his anger.
Vivian frowned, whining, “I saw it right in your office, you know, and it was even sent to you a week ago. I originally thought it was from a client, but when I opened it, I found it was a Divorce Decree.”
Xav, you’re hurting me ~
She tried to pull her hand away, but Xavier still held on tightly, not letting go; his thoughts, however, had already drifted far away.
A week ago?!
Was that the day he left?
Celeste had said she would wait for him to return, but she turned around and got the Divorce Decree instead.
She had intended to divorce him all along.
Xavier released his hand and re–examined the divorce date on the Divorce Decree.
That’s right, it was that day.
She wasn’t angry because of the kidnapping; she had already had the idea a month ago.
But he needed to sign for the divorce, right?
Suddenly, he remembered that day.
Celeste suddenly came to his company to find him and made him sign a property transfer agreement.
So that wasn’t a property transfer agreement.
It was a Divorce Settlement Agreement!!
Did she already know everything back then?
At this thought, Xavier’s heart suddenly constricted, and all the blood in his body instantly froze.
Vivian, on the other hand, was ecstatic.
She had always believed that Xavier no longer had romantic feelings for Celeste, and the only reason he hadn’t divorced her sooner was out of consideration for their many years of marital affection.
So when she saw this Divorce Decree, she couldn’t express how happy she was, her mind filled with thoughts of the glorious and luxurious life that
awaited her.
Now, all that was left was for Xavier to nod his head.
She was just about to speak up to test the waters, but at that moment, Xavier’s phone rang.
It was a call from the security company.
The investigation had results.

Xavier came back to his senses, sharply glanced at Vivian, then walked to the balcony to answer.
“Speak!!”

“The matter regarding Vivian has been thoroughly investigated. Her actions behind the scenes are indeed dirty. In the past month, she has had quite a few dealings with various hooligans and thugs, and the target was always Celeste.”
Hearing this, Xavier clenched his fist.
He probably had some guesses, but still couldn’t figure out what exactly she had done, so he directly asked:“What dealings did they have? Explain it all at
once.”
The first time, she used your name to find someone to force Celeste to drink 99 bottles of hard liquor and almost commit attempted rape.”
The second time, she hired a private detective to take many photos of you with your colleagues, then bribed staff members to expose all the photos at the Sinclair Group’s annual meeting, and also privately sent them to the media.”
The third time, she resold Graham’s company’s research data to his competing company, making exorbitant profits.”
“The fourth time, she bribed criminals and prison guards in the detention center and locked Celeste in the same dormitory with people who had homosexual tendencies, torturing her for three days.”
The
The fifth time, she contacted Graham and planned that kidnapping for him, promising to help him get the money and run away.”
The sixth time, she bribed the hospital doctor to diagnose herself with burns requiring skin grafts, and during the surgery, didn’t give Celeste anesthetic, forcibly cutting off her skin.”
Each and every one of these things was shocking and horrifying.
Xavier felt as if he were there himself, witnessing Celeste’s suffering with his own eyes, his face ashen and trembling like paper, his eyes even more bloodshot, like he was craving blood.
Vivian, you’re really something!
