Misunderstand him? It was clearly him who had thrown her out on the street before, and she had run
back in the rain, soaked to the skin and her feet rubbed raw!
"Today, Grandma called and asked if we had a fight and why you moved out. Celeste, do you want the
whole world to know we are separated before we are even divorced?"
Celeste laughed sarcastically. "Divorce isn't something shameful.
Why should I hide it from everyone?" Actually, she hadn't been telling everyone about her plans to
divorce. How the old lady found out about it, she wasn't sure.
Liam sneered, "Then call Shawn over, and we'll talk about the divorce face to face."
Celeste was speechless, staring at him without saying a word.
Liam said indifferently, "Before we get a divorce, you'd better stay at Pinecrest Manor. Before that, if
Grandma heard about our marital problems, you can forget about ever divorcing me.’
This was Liam's way of holding Celeste's weakness: if he didn't divorce her, she would have to endure
the suffering in this marriage.
The Reed family was in the midst of the fiercest competition for an heir, and if news of their marital
problems came out at this time, it would inevitably affect the views of the old lady and the major
shareholders.
Celeste felt desolate because of this reality. She pursed her lips and didn't speak for a long time.
It's embarrassing, and Liam glanced at Celeste.
The woman who had just been arguing with him now seemed to have lost her vitality.
He didn't like her to be silent.
"Alright, I'll play along with this charade,’ Celeste suddenly spoke up after a long silence, her eyes
determined and cold. "But I have one condition too."
Liam nodded, signaling her to go ahead.
Celeste said, "Once you get Quantum, we'll have an agreement to divorce. I don't want any of the
property, cars, or stocks, just give me five million dollars, and that's it.” Liam frowned. "I let you make a
condition, but I didn't tell you to treat me like an ATM”” Celeste smirked, "Mr. Reed, Quantum is valued
at several hundred billion dollars. I'm only asking for five million, which is pretty fair.’
Liam stared at her face, seemingly weighing the pros and cons of this deal.
After a long while, he responded lightly, "Fine, I agree.” Celeste was taken aback, not expecting Liam to
agree so quickly. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
But she quickly adjusted her facial expressions, took a pen from her bag, picked up a piece of paper,
and quickly wrote a property division agreement.
She then handed it to Liam, turned on her phone's camera, and said, "This way, there's proof of our
agreement, in case you change your mind later!"
Liam only glanced at it.
[Liam, (ID number: xxxxx), hereby agrees with Celeste, (ID number: Xxxxx) on the following terms
regarding divorce property division: After Liam obtains control of Quantum, the two will agree to
divorce, with all property, cars, and stocks belonging to the male party. The male party must pay the
female party five million dollars in alimony. In the event of breach of contract, the one will be infertile
after divorce and be struck by lightning. !] He gritted his teeth and asked, "Is there really such a
contract?"
"Why do you care? Just sign it!"
Liam was speechless. He signed the paper with a heavy stroke and threw it at Celeste.
"I hope this contract doesn't become a joke later!"
Celeste grabbed Liam's hand, let him touch her lipstick-stained lips, and pressed his finger onto his
name on the contract. "Only those who break promises will be laughed at!"
Her soft fingertip felt like an electric shock, giving him a strange excitement.
By the time he came to his senses, Celeste had already folded the paper and put it away.
He looked down at his right thumb, which had a faint lipstick mark on it, like a suggestive symbol.
He pinched his finger, and his heart suddenly began to race.
