Can't Let Go of This Love

Chapter 2 Don't You Regret It

"What did you just say?"

Briana knew he had heard her perfectly, yet she repeated firmly, "Let's get a divorce."

Scott cooled down in an instant. Getting up from her, he asked in an icy tone, "How much do you want this time?"

She was always like this, resorting to any means and tactics for money.

"None."

Briana took out a divorce agreement from under the pillow and passed it to him. "Look at this. If you have no problem with it, you may sign."

Scott's face turned gloomy. "Briana, you better cut it out. I'm not interested in your boring games!"

"I said I had a surprise for you. Here it is!"

Briana handed the divorce agreement to Scott.

Scott looked at her with an expressionless face. For no reason, he found her smile oddly unsettling.

Scott pursed his lips. After a few seconds, he asked, "Are you serious?"

Briana nodded, "Yeah. Do you like the gift?"

"Good for you, Briana. Don't you regret it!"

After that, Scott slammed the door shut and left.

That night, Briana packed her things with only one suitcase.

She didn't take anything that Scott had bought for her.

And their third anniversary would be their divorce day.

When Scott looked back on it later, he would surely celebrate this glorious day.

It might be the most satisfying thing she had done for him during their marriage.

Sitting in the cab, Briana watched the passing views outside. She suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Though she had been a CEO's wife for three years, now she was going back to her own version of the slums.

"You asked for a divorce?! Jesus! Just why?" Kaylee Graham bombarded Briana with questions.

After she left, Briana came to her best friend's place with her luggage.

Briana calmly explained, "Krista's pregnant."

"And you didn't even ask Scott for a cent?" Kaylee was furious upon hearing Briana's answer.

Briana shrugged, seemingly indifferent to her question.

"Nope."

"Are you out of your mind? You've been married to Scott for three years, and now he's cheating on you. It's his fault! You should at least demand half of his fortune..."

While Kaylee vented her frustrations on Briana's behalf, Briana was immersed in her memories.

Scott was forced to marry her because she was pregnant.

That was why Scott harbored so much resentment toward her.

Briana thought Scott now had Krista with him, who was carrying his child, so there was no point for her to stick around.

Kaylee exclaimed in fury, "It's not the same. When you married Scott, he was single. But Krista, she clearly knew Scott was married. She's completely a home-wrecker!"

"It doesn't matter anymore," Briana replied.

"Anyway, he was forced to marry me. After divorce, I owe him nothing."

***

The divorce agreement was placed on Scott's desk the next afternoon, with Briana's flamboyant signature on the last page, seemingly to be a threat.

Calvin Lynn noticed his boss' face grow colder. So he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Fisher, I confirmed with the staff of Starlake Mansion. Ma'am moved out last night. Apart from her personal belongings, she took nothing."

Scott tightened the grip on the agreement, tossing it on the table.

"She wants nothing? Is this another hard-to-get game?"

Calvin stayed silent. After all, he didn't marry Briana. How could he know what games they were playing?

Scott had no intention of getting any useful answers from his assistant so he said calmly, "Leave me alone."

Taking a couple of steps away, Calvin turned back at Scott. "Mr. Fisher, the necklace you order in Paris has arrived. How..."

It was Scott's gift for Briana for their anniversary, but now it seemed utterly useless.

"Throw it away!" Scott replied indifferently.

Calvin responded, "I see."

After Calvin exited the office, Scott picked up the divorce agreement again. His gaze fell on Briana's signature. A cold sneer gradually emerged on his face.

To Scott, Briana was someone who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals. She begged him for help at Dusk Club and then feigned pregnancy to force him into marriage.

How could a woman with such malicious intentions suddenly have a change of heart?

She just had a target.

Scott crumpled the paper in his hand and tossed it into the trash bin.
