Chapter 82
Phoebe was momentarily stunned.
After a brief silence, she picked up the takeout and turned back into the villa, deciding to ignore Declan’s presence.
After finishing her meal, Phoebe was about to go upstairs to sleep when Declan, sitting across from her, finally lost his patience. “When are you coming back with me?”
Phoebe looked at him coldly. “I never said I would go back with you.”
“Phoebe, enough,” Declan said.

Seeing that Declan was truly angry, Phoebe raised an eyebrow. “You don’t need to shout like that. It doesn’t affect me at all. Even if you tie me up and drag me back, I will just run out again. So, you’d better not waste your time.”
Declan looked at her coldly, gritting his teeth. “Fine. You’d better not regret it.”
“I already regret it,” Phoebe said.

Seeing the flash of surprise in Declan’s eyes, Phoebe smiled. “I regret not moving out sooner. If I had, I wouldn’t have had all those troublesome things happen later.”
Declan stormed off angrily, and Phoebe thought to herself that at least she could finally rest properly.
In the afternoon, Phoebe received a call from Audrey, asking her to come to Elysian House.
When Phoebe arrived, Audrey was in the living room, drinking coffee.
Seeing Phoebe, Audrey smiled kindly. “Pheebs, come sit down.”
“Mrs. Richardson, did you need something from me?” Phoebe asked.
After Phoebe sat beside her, Audrey took her hand and sighed, “Pheebs, do you really want to divorce Declan?”
Phoebe paused for a few seconds and nodded firmly. “Yes.”
“Is there really no way to salvage this? I truly hate seeing you go,” Audrey said.
Phoebe smiled and squeezed Audrey’s hand. “Mrs. Richardson, even if I divorce Declan, you will always be an elder to me.”
Audrey nodded. “Alright, I’ll take care of this for you and help you get the divorce.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Richardson,” Phoebe said.
Phoebe initially thought Audrey was just speaking casually about helping her, but she didn’t expect it to be serious.
Seeing Phoebe’s genuine smile, Audrey felt a slight pang in her chest.
‘Declan really has no taste. How could he be with Jennifer? It’s a complete waste of the effort I put into teaching him,‘ she thought.
Soon, Audrey had the lawyer draft the divorce agreement. “Pheebs, take a look and see if anything needs to be changed.”
Phoebe glanced through it and found that Audrey had included 10% of Richardson Group’s shares for her. She immediately refused. “Mrs. Richardson, I don’t want the shares in Richardson Group. They are too valuable, and Mr. Richardson would never agree to it.”

A 1% stake in Richardson Group was worth billions of dollars. Holding onto that would only make her feel uncomfortable.
“If he dares to disagree, I’ll break his legs,” Audrey said.

Phoebe was amused by Audrey’s serious expression but shook her head. “Mrs. Richardson, I really don’t want it. The reason I want to divorce Mr. Richardson is to sever all ties.”
“Pheebs, this is the wedding gift I promised you. With this 10% stake, even if you divorce Declan, no one will dare look down on you. Besides, if you truly want no connection with Richardson Group, you can sell the shares to Declan,” Audrey said.
Seeing how Audrey was going all out to undermine Declan, Phoebe couldn’t help but be shocked.
However, she still wasn’t planning to take the shares. She didn’t need the money; the 15 million dollars she had earned from a previous mission was enough for her for a long time.
Soon, Declan arrived.
When he saw the divorce agreement that Audrey handed him, his face immediately turned dark. “Grandmother, I won’t agree to the divorce.”
Audrey stood up directly, her gaze cold as she looked at him. “Come with me to the study.”
