that affection turned into pure resentment.”
“He made me realize how terribly flawed I am. I came back to prove he’s nothing special.
If I want him, I can have him anytime!”
Geoffrey stared intensely at Maureen, each word striking him like sharp knives.
Maureen then turned to the judge.
“By the way, my true love lives abroad. We have two children together.”
“Even if you convict me of bigamy, Your Honor, I’ll accept it. I’d rather go to prison
than remain trapped in this failed marriage.”
Amidst the stunned courtroom, Maureen strode toward Geoffrey and threatened him right there:
“Mr. Sutton, if you refuse this divorce, I’ll make everything I’ve said here public.”
In that moment, Geoffrey knew Maureen truly wanted out.
She’d never reconcile with him!
His eyes reddened at the corners. He wanted to refuse her,
but couldn’t bring himself to speak.
Tyler knew that even if they won this case, his client would still lose.
Behind him, Katherine’s eyes were teary.
She knew Maureen had waited for this moment far too long.
Ultimately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the judge didn’t announce the verdict in court, opting to deliver it the next day.
As they exited the courthouse, reporters outside had already been cleared out by Geoffrey’s

Geoffrey stepped out first. He lingered, blocking Maureen and Katherine’s path when they emerged.
“Maureen, let’s talk.”
Maureen gave Katherine a reassuring glance before leaving with Geoffrey.
After they departed, Tyler walked out.
Katherine shot him a cold stare and hurried away.
Tyler watched her retreating figure until it vanished from sight.
He approached his car, ready to drive off, when he spotted several foreigners acting suspiciously inside another vehicle.
As a lawyer, Tyler is more careful than others.
When those foreigners drove away, he quietly followed them.
Elsewhere, Geoffrey drove himself, Maureen in the passenger seat.
Thinking about what Maureen said in court, Geoffrey spoke: “Do you really want a divorce?”
Even knowing the answer, he still wanted to ask.
“Yeah.”
Maureen nodded, then added, “If you’ll divorce me, I promise I won’t take anything, I just want freedom.”
Geoffrey’s throat tightened.
He didn’t pursue the topic, instead asking, “Was what you said in court true?”
Maureen hesitated for a moment, then said, “It doesn’t matter now, does it?”
She looked at Geoffrey and continued, “If you still won’t divorce me, I’ll tell everyone I’ve been with someone else.”
Maureen knew this was the worst way.

Geoffrey cares most about his reputation and would never let the company he built be hurt by
this.
“Do you know what happens to people who threaten me?”
Geoffrey asked calmly.
Maureen pursed her lips.
He continued: “A few years back, this real estate tycoon offered me a land swap for my billion–dollar project. Said he’d storm our headquarters if I refused.”
“Later, they fished his body out of the river.”
Maureen remembered now. During their early marriage, he’d been constantly irritable and
angry.
Until one dawn, she saw news about someone drowning in the river. Only then did Geoffrey’s mood lift.
Shock flashed in Maureen’s eyes.
She forced calm: “I just want a divorce.”
“Well I don’t!”
Geoffrey snapped coldly.
They argued, oblivious to the semi–truck hurtling toward them around the bend.
Geoffrey spotted it first. No time to warn Maureen–he jerked the steering wheel.
Too late.
As the truck collided, Geoffrey threw his entire body across Maureen’s.
Bang!
The deafening crash.
Something warm splattered across Maureen’s face.
Everything before her eyes turned crimson red.
Blood…
