The next morning, Ava invited her lawyer to bring the divorce agreement she has asked him to prepare for over a year.
“Miss Theo. This is what you asked me to prepare for you last year. The divorce agreement, you can take a look.” The lawyer gave him to Ava.
“Thanks” she collected the agreement, remembering all the maltreat and embarrassment she has gone through in her marriage.
Ava handover her inheritance to the lawyer and asked him to transfer them to Ryan.
“Do you really want to transfer all the last property left for you by Mr Theo to Lee Ryan? You are already out of the house, if you give your inheritance away, you really have nothing left.” The lawyer said.
“I don't want anything, this is what I owe him and must pay it back.” Ava said.
Lawyer: I hope you don't regret it.
Ava picked up her phone and text Ryan. (Please come home tonight, I have something to tell you.)
Ryan received the text msg at his office. Rowan asked if the text was sent by Ava but Ryan didn't answer him.
“This deaf little girl really thinks of herself as young Mrs Lee now. Hey Ryan, are you really ready to talk to this deaf girl? Keep wasting your time. The Theo family is over. Ava's father is already dead, her brother is another trash who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. Don't even mention her mom, she's a bottomless pit.”
Rowan tells Ryan.
“I know.” Ryan replies
“Then why don't you divorce her? Delilah has been waiting for you. I hope you don't have real feelings for Ava, do you?” He laughed at Ryan.
Ryan brought out a file and give it to Rowan and said Ava deserves it.
“Ryan. you are so cruel. This Theo enterprise is the only memorial left by her father to her. This makes me feel a little distressed for this deaf girl.” Rowan stated.
(Ryan home)
Ryan arrived home. Ava rushed to take his jacket from him. “Don't text me casually in the future.” Ryan instructed
“Um umm.. I will never again.” Ava replied faking a smile.

(Ryan on phone) “I give you three days to acquire Theo's enterprise as soon as possible.”
He saw Ava eavesdropping and hang the phone as soon as Ava entered the room.
She dropped a cup of coffee and asked him not to be worked up but to rest early.
Ava about leaving the room.
“Stop. You sent me a message, what's the matter?” Ryan asked
“I just wanted to ask if you will have time at noon tomorrow. Let's go through the divorce formalities together.”
*SHOCKED*
“What?” He stood up.
“Mr Lee. I have delayed you for the past few years, let's get divorce.” She said.
Ryan unable to believe what's going on. “You just heard me on the phone. The Theo family is almost over, what's the difference between my acquisition and someone else's acquisition?
Why do you want to divorce and marry another man? Is it for the children I don't give you or for money? Or is it to let me not deal with the Theo family? Don't forget that I don't love you at all, your threat is useless to me.” Ryan said.
“I'm ready for the formalities.” Ava said and left the room.
Ryan got furious and destroy everything on the table.
In the morning, Ava rolled her box with the divorce paper came to the sitting room.
“Ryan contact me when you have time.” She gives him the paper and left.
“Hmm.. playing hard to get? You will be back sooner or later, by the you will please me more than ever.” Ryan said.
Ava came back to her father's house, before she could even knock the door, she hear voices from the inside.
“What a loser, for three years. Lee Ryan had never even touched her, she is useless. And she has the face to call me and tell me she wants a divorce?” Mrs Theo said.
“Mom, I heard that Lee Ryan's first love is back, she just doesn't want to leave, but will eventually be kicked out. We need to think ahead.”
“By the way, didn't President Elias’s little wife go crazy recently? My sister is hard in hearing, just right for Him. An 80-year-old man,” Ava's brother said.
(Lee's house party)
Mrs Lee cheers!!! Everybody drinks..
“Remember if Theo Ava comes, don't let her embarrass herself in the living room” Mrs Lee instructed the servant.
Gossip amount the guest**. “Ryan is here, why didn't the little deaf come? Was she not always the first to come and last to leave? She go everywhere he goes to please him like a pug.” Someone said.
Another person: “Forget it. Anyway, we've been watching Ryan's joke for three years, the proud son was deceived so badly and lost tens of billions. He also married a deaf wife.”
“But other say the deaf girl is good to Ryan. Except for Ryan's parents, no one loves him more than Theo Ava.” Someone said.
Mrs Lee asked Ryan where Ava's is . “It's such a big thing for the Lee family to worship ancestors, she can come if she wants. If she don't want to come, won't you come also?” Mrs Lee asked Ryan.
“We are in the process of divorce” Ryan answered.
“She should've left earlier. A woman like her doesn't deserve you at all,” Mrs Lee states.
“The young master's talents are all delayed by that little deaf girl. Ryan didn't divorce her for three years. She should be contented.” A guest said.
They are all right. Why do I feel harsh? Ryan thinks in his mind.
The following morning, Ryan is ready for work. He saw Ava cleaning and told her he won't be back home tonight but it's was an illusion.
“It's good this way, I don't have to tell her anymore.”
Ryan phone rings* (Ryan. I will wait for you at the old place) The person over the phone said.
