Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 20

As Josephine went back to Rose Manor, Zoey came forward and advised her, “Mrs. Hayden, perhaps yielding to Mr. Hayden is the wise choice. Don’t you think?”

No matter how capable Josephine was, she had no connections and no one to lean on. There was no way she could be his or his family’s match.

But Josephine said calmly, “I’m still very much alive, aren’t I?”

As long as she was alive, she had a chance to turn the tables.

She walked into the hall, straightening her back.

Wilfred and Shane were smoking, while Helena was serving them tea with a fawning smile like a maid.

Upon seeing Josephine, Shane ridiculed, “Only sweet, gentle women like Lena deserve to be protected by men. As for those spoiled ones–why’d even want them?”

Josephine couldn’t even be bothered to glance at him. Her gaze fell upon the divorce agreement in front of Wilfred.

With a cigarette between his lips, he pushed it forward.

“You’ve got two choices. Forget about the divorce, and I’ll help you clean your name and save your notorious reputation…..‘

“I want a divorce. I’d rather die than stay in this marriage,” she interrupted him firmly.

Furious, he bit down on the cigarette so hard that it snapped.

“Fine. Let’s do some maths then.

“We were married for six years, and you only gave birth to Belinda. She’ll stay with me, and you won’t get to see her.”

“OK.” She remained expressionless.

Wilfred was slightly stunned. Then he continued, “Good Samaritan Shelter is under the name of Novo Tech, and you know very well how much money is allocated to the shelter

each year. Then there’s the packaging plant in Marisbury with disabled workers–it’s been losing money all these years. You can offset these with Rose Manor,”

He talked as if there weren’t any profits at all.

Thanks to Good Samaritan Shelter and the packaging plant, Novo Tech had earned favor nationwide, and its electronics had been outselling its competitors over the years.

He was also praised by netizens as the perfect husband for how much he “loved” her.

“I’ll issue an announcement tomorrow. According to your request, we’ll get a divorce. And you’ll willingly repay the 300–million–dollar investment in developing the X3 Chip.”

After saying this, Wilfred leaned back slightly and looked at Josephine coldly.

She wasn’t stupid. By now, she should realize that she was cornered. Her future would be ruined if she insisted on getting a divorce..

Other than him, no one else would want her–an infertile, notorious, divorced woman drowning in debt.

Josephine remained calm and composed throughout the entire time, not even frowning at all.

She decisively picked up the pen, signed the divorce agreement, took a photo of it, and posted it online.

“I’m about to be free!”

She did all this without hesitation, leaving Wilfred stunned.

Josephine saw the wedding photo as she went upstairs to pack her belongings.

She was never a fan of smiling. On the day of the photoshoot, no matter how hard the photographer tried, she just couldn’t bring herself to smile naturally at all.

Then Wilfred said to the photographer, “Others get married for happiness, but I married her precisely because of her icy face. Good for me, huh?”

Hearing this, she chuckled genuinely and sweetly.
