After hearing Ariana's words, Jensen fell silent for a while.Ariana didn't speak either. Finally, Jensen asked, "Do you mean leaving the country to take a break and clear your head?""No," Ariana replied. "Remember that collaboration project between our hospital and the research institute abroad? I want to join it."That project had previously expressed interest in having Ariana participate. But at the time, she had no intention of considering moving overseas. If she joined now, she might not be able to return for three to five years.Jensen fell silent again.Ariana spoke up, "Could you help me with the paperwork for the hospital?"Jensen nodded.He suddenly reached out and gently touched Ariana's hair.She looked up at him, and he quickly pulled his hand back. "Alright. I'll get it done for you."Ariana responded with a hum.Jensen asked, "What if he refuses to agree to the divorce?""I have my ways.""Alright. If you need anything, let me know." Jensen took out his ph

Spencer fell silent for a few seconds before uttering, "Say that again? You want a divorce over such trivial matters?"To Spencer, everything he had done probably seemed insignificant. Buying gifts for Joanne, never defending Ariana in front of his friends, and even telling Connor she was just a tool to satisfy his desires meant nothing to him.But to Ariana, it felt like someone was repeatedly squeezing her heart and draining her blood drop by drop. Watching the blood from her heart slowly drip away, she felt utterly powerless. This kind of pain was something she would remember for the rest of her life. It was a pain no one else could ever truly understand.Ariana's expression was calm, almost cold. "Spencer, you may never understand how I feel. But after all, we were once married. Even if there's nothing binding us together, we could at least part on good terms.""I've told you. The decision to divorce is mine to make." Spencer's voice grew even colder. "I'll agree to the divor

That night, Ariana slept in the guest room. Spencer eventually let her go, but not before kicking those unopened gifts across the room in front of her.Ariana was disheartened, and she didn't sleep at all.…The next morning, Spencer had already left the estate by the time Ariana got up. She had breakfast with Enrique and calmly shared her thoughts with him. Finally, she said, "Grandpa, I'm sorry. I've let you down. I can't keep this marriage going any longer. Spencer hasn't done anything wrong. If you want to blame someone, blame me."Enrique sat on the couch and fell silent for a long time. He reached out and gently touched Ariana's soft, long hair. He then said, "Ari, I've always thought of you as my own granddaughter. But I was selfish. I watched you stay unhappy, trying to hold this marriage together. Now, I won't stop you if you want to leave. It's my fault for not raising my grandson properly."Tears streamed down Ariana's face. "No, Grandpa. It's my fault. I wasn't

Everyone in the room knew that a divorce could have significant repercussions on a publicly traded company's stock. However, what shocked them even more was the fact that someone wanted to divorce Spencer.Spencer had a reputation for being a bit cold, rarely smiled, and wasn't the type to dote on women or offer tender, considerate gestures. However, rumors had been circulating among the shareholders that Spencer had recently shown a peculiar interest in a new hire at the company's secretarial department. Not only had he been particularly attentive to her, but he had also showered her with various luxury gifts. Having an affair while being married was wrong.But for someone of Spencer's stature, having a few mistresses was common. Besides, none of the shareholders present could claim to be entirely virtuous. Most of them had affairs outside.Particularly in marriages born of business alliances, it was often an unspoken agreement for couples to do their own things. As long as the

Spencer's expression and tone were relatively calm as he spoke. However, those who knew him understood the anger simmering in him.Ariana would definitely suffer in the future. Not only her, but even the Luboves and her friends might suffer the repercussions.In Nordenton, Spencer was a figure at the top of the pyramid. The Ulrich family's enterprises spanned the nation and expanded overseas. Spencer could easily shake the economy in Nordenton.They didn't understand why Ariana would want to provoke someone of such stature.Spencer's gaze bore into Ariana. If looks could kill, she would've been dead by now.His stare was terrifying, but Ariana acted as if she didn't notice. She even boldly placed the divorce papers in front of him and said coldly, "Sign it!"Spencer didn't move. "My lawyer will be in touch with you.""Fine." Ariana nodded. "But remember. I hope you keep your word in front of all these people today. You can't go back on your word now. I expect your lawyer to cont
