A Divorce Make Me Rich

Mavis and Raymond followed Ted to the information room. Along the way, Raymond was still complaining.

“Speaking of Anthony’s car accident, it was his own fault. What does it have to do with you? You insist on taking responsibility for him and pretending to care about him.”

Mavis glanced at him from the corner of her eye.

He wisely shut up and didn’t say anything more.

Ted laughed, “It seems like you have a deep grudge against Anthony.”

“Yeah,” Raymond pointed to his right arm where a triangular frame hung, “Have you seen what that brother-in-law did to me? The look in his eyes at that time was like he wanted my life. I hate him so much.”

Ted looked at his arm and clicked his tongue twice. “It’s really cruel, but you also have problems since you can’t beat him.”

If he couldn’t win but still chose to fight actively, then he deserved to be beaten up.

Raymond snorted with resentment in his heart. “Anyway, I hate him and don’t even acknowledge that he is my brother-in-law.”

While the two were complaining about Anthony, Mavis remained silent as she walked with her head down lost in thought.

Soon they arrived at the information room.

Ted made a gesture for them both to stop outside before saying, “The information room doesn’t allow outsiders inside normally nor are they allowed access during investigations either. But Mr. White said this case is very special and doesn’t involve any confidential material so we can let you take a look. Wait here while I go get it quickly.”

Mavis nodded, “Okay, thank you Mr. Ted.”

Ted smiled back before entering into the information room.

A special case?

This word had already been mentioned twice today, making her increasingly curious about just how special this result could be if even Malcolm showed such meaningful expressions?

Ted worked efficiently. Within five minutes, he came out of the information room holding a sealed document bag. He handed it over to Mavis and his expression changed as she took hold of it, trying not laugh out loud himself.

“Well… when I took a glance at what I got earlier on… it really is quite special! Just hope after reading through everything, your emotions won’t get too excited!”

After speaking these words, Ted pursed his lips again, trying not laugh out loud before leaving with lowered head. Only Mavis and Raymond were left, standing there looking confused.

Both Malcolm’s reaction earlier on along with Ted’s now had piqued even more interest from Raymond who urged, “Sis, hurry up open it! What exactly does this say?”

Mavis tore open the seal then carefully examined several investigation documents inside. When she finished reading them, all her eyebrows furrowed tightly together,

“Anthony!”

There weren’t any enemies plotting against him. It was all self-directed by Anthony himself!

The car accident was just a minor scratch, and his leg injury was also fake.

This was a false report, but because the circumstances were not serious and did not cause significant harm, only criticism and education were given with a fine.

The case had already been closed, but Anthony could still act as if his leg were injured in front of her, continuing to oppress and control her.

“Mavis, he’s too much!”

Raymond was filled with indignation, “He’s a scheming dog. He pretended to be lame and made you work for him for so many days. He didn’t even apologize once. He’s just playing with you. Can you swallow this?”

He was angry and said everything Mavis wanted to say. Surprisingly, Mavis wasn’t as angry anymore.

“What do you think I should do?”

“We must retaliate and vent our anger! Let him know that we are not to be trifled with.”

His uninjured left hand kept punching the air, as he eagerly planned, “Once I’ve had my revenge, I’ll serve him with divorce papers and make him regret his actions. He’ll beg for forgiveness on his knees, crying and admitting his mistakes!”

Mavis sneered, “Kneeling down to apologize is something that will never happen with Anthony.”

Raymond grumbled discontentedly, “Don’t speak too confidently, Mavis. There’s nothing absolute in this world.”

Mavis didn’t argue back, but she couldn’t imagine what Anthony would look like begging for mercy on his knees. In her eyes, Anthony had always been a cool and noble prince-like figure.

Even if such a person admitted their mistake and lowered their head, it was still difficult for them.

“Let’s go, Mavis. We can walk and talk at the same time, and think about how to deal with Anthony.”

Mavis nodded and left the hallway with him.

Half an hour later.

Anthony came out of the deputy bureau office.

He was chased out by Chad.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Chad’s angry voice echoed in the office, “Is your pride so precious that you would take it to the grave? If you can’t swallow your pride, then don’t come to me for advice!”

“Get lost!”

Anthony didn’t even blink when a sofa pillow was thrown into the hallway. He simply tilted his head slightly and dodged it with precision.

Behind him, Kane was hit, clutching his stomach in mourning.

“Mr. Callahan…” Kane looked miserable and was almost dying of frustration.

Anthony had no expression on his face as he glanced at him and said, “Have you been slacking off on your workouts lately? Your skills are getting worse. You can’t even dodge a pillow.”

Kane had something on his mind but he can’t express it.

“Let’s go to Green Grove Apartment.”

Kane had to tirelessly push his wheelchair for him.

The two of them walked out of NIB and before they reached the luxury car on the side of the road, they saw two familiar figures.

Kane leaned in close to Anthony’s ear and whispered, “Mr. Callahan, it’s Mrs. Callahan and Mr. Parker.”

Anthony looked up to see Mavis and Raymond walking towards him. Mavis’s gaze fell on the cigarette in his hand as she spoke calmly with a hint of sarcasm, “Why are you smoking again? I remember the doctor telling you not to smoke or drink while your leg is still healing.”

Anthony had just taken a puff when he choked on it and started coughing uncontrollably. Kane quickly explained, “It’s because… you haven’t been paying attention to Mr. Callahan lately so he smokes when he feels upset. If you showed more concern for him, he would listen to you.”

Mavis replied bluntly, “You’re wrong. He never listens to me. Maybe in his eyes, his status is higher than mine so he always has to put me down.”

The atmosphere became tense for a moment until Raymond broke the silence by asking, “Anthony, where are you guys headed?”

Kane chuckled and said, “Mr. Callahan is heading over to Green Grove Apartment to find Mrs. Callahan but we bumped into each other here instead.”

Raymond pointed out, “Green Grove Apartment is an old walk-up building without an elevator. Won’t it be difficult for someone with leg injury?”

Kane replied confidently, “It’ll be fine. There are always ways around difficulties.”

Mavis chimed in, “Since we’re going back that way anyway, why don’t we all go together? Raymond injured his hand so I have to take care of him but if you want, you can move into Green Grove too. I can help take care of your leg injury. And as for our divorce agreement, it’ll stay as previously discussed until your leg heals up enough for us discuss further.”

Raymond grumbled, “Only my sister likes being a do-gooder. Who else would bother about whether or not your legs heal properly?”

The two siblings played their roles convincingly – one playing good cop while one played bad cop.

Kane couldn’t help but get excited as he hummed reminders into Anthony’s ear.

This was a great opportunity to mend relations with Mavis! She even suggested it herself. He must agree without hesitation, as any delay would be disrespectful to him.

Anthony held his cigarette between his fingertips, the smoke swirling around him as his deep blue eyes glimmered.

Noticing Mavis watching him, he averted his gaze and cleared his throat to hide any expression on his face. “I’ll consider it.”

Raymond wasn’t having it. “Stop pretending like you’re some big shot. My sister won’t wait on you forever. Either come or go away.”

Mavis added, “If you’re hesitant, then let’s forget about it. Let’s leave now, Raymond.”

Anthony and Kane remained silent.
