Chapter 127
Linda noticed Lucas was silent, his eyes deep in thought. She pressed on, "Besides, Chloe's been waiting for a divorce for ages. She's already latched onto Connor. The role of your wife doesn't mean anything to her anymore. She told me she doesn't want you, that she'd hand you over to me. She even signed a divorce agreement and gave it to me. She's eager to jump into Mr. Connor's arms now."
Linda lowered her voice. "You know what she's like. The moment she finds a better option, she'll leave you behind again."
Linda had her own take on why Connor showed up tonight, declaring Chloe as his girlfriend. Chloe was a perfectionist, and she and Lucas were childhood sweethearts, first loves. Even after knowing Lucas cheated on her, Chloe insisted on marrying him. All these years, despite her fiery temper, she never took revenge while they were abroad. Linda knew Chloe had been waiting for Lucas. She held back, not burning bridges completely, fearing there'd be no chance for reconciliation.
Chloe was someone who couldn't tolerate any flaws. Her patience could only mean one thing: she loved Lucas deeply. So she wouldn't cheat. As for Connor, he probably became friends with Chloe after that recent interview. When he arrived today, he saw Chloe in such a wrecked state. It was likely out of a sense of justice that he stepped in. Linda refused to believe there was any romantic connection between Chloe and Connor. After all, they'd only known each other for less than a month since that interview.
Lucas listened to Linda's words, quickly sensing something was off. His gaze darkened as he released her. With a stern expression, he asked, "You said Chloe signed a divorce agreement?”
Linda hastily pulled a document
from her purse. She'd been preparing this since their
conversation that day. Now was the perfect moment. Chloe had clearly said that if Lucas signed the divorce agreement first, she'd sign it too. But Linda knew Lucas wouldn't sign it first under the pressure from his parents and Joshua, which was also why Chloe was so confident. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
But what if Lucas thought Chloe had already signed? His pride might lead him to sign impulsively, even if he regretted it later. So, Linda used special pen with erasable ink to forge Chloe's signature. Once
eeet
signed, she'd give thement to
Chloe. Chances were,
would
sign it, too. This was Linda's plan.
Luckily, Linda was great at forging Chloe's handwriting. She had tricked Lucas before with a fake diary, which played a major role in their breakup.
Lucas picked up the divorce
agreement and flipped straight to
the last page, Sure enough, he saw "Chloe's" signature. His heart pounded as if something was about to explode from his chest. Chloe
would never sign such a Chloen
divorce
agreement, especially since they weren't officially married to begin withand didn't need any divorce procedures. Moreover, Chloe had already announced their breakup and moved out of the Moncada family home. But Linda didn't know any of this.
So now, there was only one possibility. Unaware of these details, Linda had drafted a divorce agreement herself, intending to get him to sign it first and then force Chloe to sign it.
