So, Mercer had seen Calla and Harlan. For a moment, Calla opened and closed her mouth, unsure of how to explain herself. She wondered if there was even a need to explain anymore.But her silence looked like guilt and helplessness to Mercer. He questioned her, "Are you planning to be with him after our divorce?""Don't you want to divorce me? You went to Sophie before we even split. Didn't you send me to that godforsaken place, Butterfly Hill, because I was in your way? If you want a divorce, just say it. "Do you have to push all the blame onto others and pretend to be the victim? When did you become so hypocritical? If you want to be with Sophie, fine—I'll let you. We didn't get together out of love anyway," Calla shouted, voicing the grievances she had kept hidden for so long.Mercer stared at Calla coldly. There was a hint of shock in his eyes. He probably never imagined that this was how Calla viewed him.After a moment, he nodded. "Fine, if you want a divorce so much, there's

At 8:30 am the next day, Calla arrived at the courthouse right on time. The weather was especially gloomy, matching her mood. She wore a black coat and had put on light makeup to look better, but it couldn't hide her slightly swollen eyes.When Calla arrived, Mercer was not there yet. She glanced at her watch. He was five minutes late, which was unusual since he was always punctual. She wondered why he was late today.A moment later, a black figure suddenly walked into the lobby, followed by Simon as per usual. Mercer looked stern, his black cashmere coat sharply tailored. There was a bit of stubble on his jaw, which only added to his rugged charm. He was still a man who women couldn't take their eyes off.Calla's eyes met his for a second before she lowered her gaze. Her heart was in turmoil but she was unwilling to let him see any sign of it.Mercer gave Simon a look, prompting him to greet Calla. "Mrs. Garland, have you spoken to a clerk?"Calla was bewildered. She had neve

The young man said to Simon, "Sir, are you here to get a divorce? I'm number three in the queue. Would you like to take my place?"Simon frowned upon hearing this. They had tried their best to delay the inevitable, and now this person suddenly appeared."I don't think that's necessary. You should keep it for yourselves," Simon said quickly, glancing at Mercer's ashen face."It's okay. We're not getting a divorce. We've patched things up!" The young man grinned, holding the woman's hand, and she looked just as happy.Simon was speechless. He had handled many tricky situations for Mercer, but he never encountered something so odd.While Simon hesitated, Calla looked at Mercer. His hands were in his coat pockets. His face was ice-cold, and his anger probably hadn't subsided yet.The next moment, Calla made up her mind. She took the number slip from the young man, and exclaimed, "Thank you!"Calla's action stunned Simon, and Mercer's brow twitched slightly."Number three, please pr

The ride back was silent, and the atmosphere in the car felt very oppressive. Finally, they arrived home. Calla entered the foyer, changed her shoes, and headed straight to the bedroom.She had already packed her clothes and essentials the night before. With this, she could avoid rushing today. Calla thought she could take her suitcase and leave right away. But she hadn't expected anyone to check if she was taking something that didn't belong to her.Looking around the room she had lived in for so long, Calla felt sad. Then, she pulled her suitcase out of the bedroom.Calla entered the living room with her suitcase in tow. Seeing the suitcase in her hand, Jasmine called out with a look of reluctance, "Mrs. Garland, are you leaving?"The thought of parting ways with Jasmine weighed heavily on Calla's heart. After all, Jasmine had taken great care of her, otherwise she would not have recovered so quickly. "Jasmine, don't call me Mrs. Garland anymore. I'm not his wife now. Call

At that moment, Mercer’s cold gaze swept over Jasmine. Calla followed his gaze and looked at Jasmine as well. Seeing her with her head bowed, Jasmine appeared timid and shrinking. Calla suddenly understood that Jasmine had told Rose everything. Jasmine had worked for the Garland family for many years, and Rose was her true employer! Although a little annoyed, Calla realized Jasmine was only being loyal to her employer. After all, she had to listen to whoever paid her salary. In her case, it was the Garland family, so Calla let it go."Mr. Garland, I’m only a helper. When Mrs. Garland Senior asks, I have to tell the truth," Jasmine explained. She tugged at her collar, unable to bear Mercer’s stare."You can pack your things and return to Sedonia," Mercer said coldly."Yes, sir." Relieved at this outcome, Jasmine quickly went to her room to pack.Calla grabbed the handle of her suitcase and turned to leave.Sophie's eyes darted to the coffee table, noticing the bank card, diam

Mercer gazed at Calla's retreating figure with a glint of admiration in his eyes. She had evoked a different feeling within him from the moment she appeared in his life. She was tough on the outside but soft within. Straightforward and resilient, she faced setbacks with determination. She possessed qualities unlike any of the girls he'd known before.Sophie knew Mercer too well. She could see from his eyes that he admired Calla and had feelings for her. A spark of jealousy immediately rose in her heart."Mercer, someone needs to take care of your daily needs from now on. Why don't I move in to look after you?" Sophie turned and sat down beside Mercer.Mercer didn't even spare her a glance. He merely replied, "If you think that apartment is too small, I can rent you a bigger one.""Mercer, that's not what I meant." Sophie hurried to explain."I'm used to living alone," Mercer replied coldly.Hearing this, Sophie lowered her head in thought. Then, she said, "Mercer, I don't have

"Ms. Jonas has asthma?" Jasmine exclaimed in surprise.Mercer didn't answer her question. "Go get a glass of water," he instructed."Alright." Jasmine hurried to fetch the water.Sophie lay in Mercer's arms, saying pitifully, "I know I'm sick. I won't be able to get married or have children. Maybe I was a bit harsh on Calla because I couldn't control my jealousy. Mercer, please don't blame me."Seeing Sophie tormented by her illness, Mercer's tone softened. "Don't think too much. I've already received the treatment plan from Morvenia. I'll send you there for treatment as soon as possible.""No! I don't want to go. I don't want to leave you," Sophie said, grabbing his collar."I'll go with you." Mercer finally relented."Really?" Hearing this, Sophie's eyes immediately lit up."I'll keep my word." Mercer nodded in resignation.At this moment, Jasmine returned with a glass of water. Mercer took the glass and handed it to Sophie, who obediently drank half of the water inside.Me

Hearing this, Carol was stunned, but Rudy was even more shocked."Divorce? How could you make such a big decision without telling me?" Carol was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof."Exactly! How could you get divorced? You're giving up being the wife of a CEO. How does that benefit the family? It's not good for you either!" Rudy didn't forget to add that last part."Mom, this is my business. Of course, I can decide for myself," Calla said to Carol, ignoring Rudy.Carol was trembling with anger and suddenly slapped Calla across the face!"Mom..." This was the first time her mother hit her. She covered her face as tears welled up in her eyes.Carol scolded her through tears, "You didn't tell us when you got married, and now you don't tell us about your divorce. Do you even consider me as your mother anymore? Marriage and divorce are such big decisions, and you've decided everything on your own."Seeing this, Rudy quickly pulled Carol back and said, "Scolding her now is useless.
