Chapter 59
It’s not to help oneself pay off debts. So, what is the purpose then?
Katie Adams couldn’t quite understand what Alberta Arthur meant by those words.
“Alberta… what do you mean by that? I’m just… so even you’re giving up on me too?” Katie Adams looked at Alberta Arthur with a mixture of tears and laughter, her expression filled with despair.
She hoped that by acting in this way, she could win back Alberta Arthur and make this cold-hearted man show a little bit of tenderness.
However, the man before her wore a scornful smile, as if all the affectionate moments he’d shared with Katie Adams belonged to the past and could no longer be mentioned.
“What do you mean by ‘even I have to give up on you’? Haven’t I already given up on you long ago? It seems you have no idea who you really are. This is a good opportunity for you to wake up.” Alberta Arthur said these words coldly.
There wasn’t a trace of tenderness in his eyes as he looked at Katie Adams. It was as though this woman no longer meant anything to him at all.
It was as though the two of them were complete strangers.
No, to be precise, they’re already strangers to each other.
Ever since Alberta Arthur realized the true nature of this woman, he was no longer able to feel any love for such a vicious person.
“Between the two of us, there’s nothing beyond this unfortunate fate that binds us.” Alberta Arthur took a deep breath, then took out a stack of documents and placed them in front of Katie Adams.
Subconsciously, she picked up one of the documents. Katie Adams could hardly believe what she was seeing.
Divorce agreement: Alberta Arthur wants to divorce me. How is that possible!
She went through so much effort to finally marry Alberta Arthur successfully.
It seems like I haven’t yet received much in the way of benefits from the Arthur family.
How could she just give up the luxurious life of the Arthur family in such a messy manner?
No, she absolutely won’t allow it. She’ll never let anyone take this honor away from her.
Even if it were Alberta Arthur herself, it’s absolutely impossible.
Out of control, she threw the divorce agreement aside, as if afraid of getting contaminated by some germs.
“That’s impossible, absolutely impossible! Alberta Arthur, I will never divorce you. Don’t even think about it!” Katie Adams’s eyes were blood-red as she stared at Alberta Arthur with a fierce gaze, refusing to divorce him.
Compared to divorcing Alberta Arthur, she would rather endure all the humiliation she’s facing now.
Because she knew very well that if the two of them divorced, it would be impossible for her to climb back up the social ladder and marry into a wealthy family again.
“You don’t want to divorce me, but do you really have any choice now? If I’m not mistaken, those debts are already overwhelming you… But if you divorce me, all those debts can be wiped out!”
Albert Arthur silently watched the woman before him and laid everything out clearly.
To be honest, he wasn’t worried that Katie Adams would refuse to divorce him. After all, Katie Adams always put her own interests first.
This clearly shows that Katie Adams would definitely choose to divorce him at this point in time, in order to get rid of all her debts.
Especially after he had clearly expressed his attitude.
It turned out that Alberta Arthur was indeed right. After seeing his firm determination, Katie Adams remained silent for a while.
After a moment, as if making a solemn decision, Katie Adams shed her previous fragile demeanor. She gently wiped away the tears that still hadn’t dried at the corners of her eyes.
She took a deep breath, and her expression seemed much more relaxed.
“Alright, since you’ve said that, do I really have any choice? But using my debts to get rid of me seems a little too cheap, doesn’t it?”
Katie Adams tilted her head slightly, blinked her eyes, and spoke in a feignedly innocent manner.
Albert Arthur couldn’t help but laugh at Katie Adams’s behavior. “Has anyone ever told Katie Adams that she’s a really shrewd businesswoman? It seems like her feelings for me are nothing more than a means to climb the ladder to higher positions.”
“Isn’t it a bit too late to talk about these things now? Whether it’s in your heart or not, isn’t it the same? If that’s the case, why go out of your way to seek such an answer?” Katie Adams said indifferently.
It seems like she doesn’t have any feelings for Alberta Arthur at all.
She sat leisurely on the sofa, holding the divorce agreement in her hands. She even trembled slightly.
“I don’t think my demands are that excessive, right? After all, the Arthur family is so wealthy. To get me to shut up once and for all, wouldn’t it be reasonable for them to spend a little more money to silence me?” Katie Adams said this while propping up her face with her hand.
“You still have the nerve to speak like that! Katie Adams,” Alberta Arthur was furious at Katie Adams’s shamelessness. He barely managed to speak through gritted teeth. “I advise you not to be too greedy!”
“If you really insist on going your own way, then you’ll lose everything you still have left! You might even disappear from this circle forever, with no chance of making a comeback. Aren’t you afraid of that?”
Albert Arthur narrowed his eyes, looking at Katie Adams with a half-smile.
Katie Adams, of course, fears never being able to turn things around. But in reality, she feels like there’s no difference between her current situation and never being able to turn things around at all.
She forced herself to stay calm and said, “Unless you agree to my demands, don’t even think about drawing a clear line between us! Or perhaps you want to force me to get a divorce, and then go around spouting nonsense about me?”
Albert Arthur was indeed very wary of this. After all, if Katie Adams really said something nonsensical, even if most netizens wouldn’t believe her, they might still wonder about it in their minds.
More importantly, this could likely give Arthur’s enemies an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. They could then use this against the Arthur family.
Trying to sort out all these issues is a really troublesome task.
After going through a series of brainstorming sessions, Alberta Arthur, though very unwilling, had no choice but to give in due to Katie Adams’ threats.
Originally, the incident involving Katie Adams already caused some disruption to the Arthur family.
He must not allow the Arthur family to face even more severe consequences due to his failure to handle this matter properly.
After pondering for a long time, Alberta Arthur took a deep breath and said slowly, “Alright, I agree! Let’s do as you say.”
Hearing this, Katie Adams breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface, she remained as calm as usual.
“In that case, please come back to me after you’ve added those terms I mentioned,” said Katie Adams. Then she sent Alberta Arthur away from there.
Albert Arthur, of course, didn’t stay long and left soon after.
After seeing Alberta Arthur off, Katie Adams sat on the sofa with a bitter expression on her face, unable to hold back her tears.
The more she cried, the more heartbroken she became. Katie Adams cried like a little child, hugging her pillow.
After all, she still felt reluctant to let go of this relationship.
