My fake husband

"Henrique, here are the divorce papers prepared by Portia. Sign the papers." H&P group, inside the president's office. Secretary Teddy, dressed in an OL uniform, placed an A4 sheet of paper on the desk. Opposite her sat a plainly dressed, handsome looking man. "Divorce? What do you mean?" Henrique was slightly stunned. "Henrique, don't you understand? Your marriage to Portia has come to an end, you two are no longer in the same world, and your presence is a stumbling block to Portia!" Teddy spoke without mercy. "A stumbling block?" Henrique frowned slightly, "So, that's what she thinks of me?" When they married, Portia was underestimated and in debt. He was the one who helped Portia through the hard times. Little did he know that now, with glory and wealth, Portia would be kicking him out. "You could argue that." Teddy lifted his chin, then gestured to the magazine on the table, the beautiful cover of which was bearing a stunningly beautiful woman. "Henrique, look at the headline in this magazine. In just three years, Portia's worth has broken a billion. Not only has she created a miracle, but she has also become the hottest CEO in Manhattan! With her beauty and ability, she is destined to be admired by all! And you? You're just an ordinary, worthless person who doesn't deserve her, so I hope you'll have some sense of self-awareness!" When Henrique didn't say anything, Secretary Teddy frowned and added: "I know you don't like it, but it's true, you may have helped Portia, but for three years she's paid her debt, and now you owe her!" "Is it possible that the marriage was just a deal?" Henrique took a deep breath and tried to suppress his emotions, "If you want a divorce, ask Portia to come and talk to me in person." "Portia is very busy, so don't bother her with this little matter." "A trivial matter?" Henrique froze and then smiled at himself, "Really? In her eyes, is divorce a trivial matter? Not even the effort to meet me and say a few words? She is now ...... is really unattainable!" "Henrique, it's done, so let's cut the crap." Teddy pushed the agreement forward, "If you sign it, not only will you get a car and a house, you'll also get eight million dollars in compensation, which, you know, is money you'll never earn in your lifetime!" "Eight million is indeed quite a lot, but unfortunately ...... I don't need it. To get a divorce you can, let her appear in person, otherwise I won't sign." Henrique said coldly. "Henrique! Don't you get ahead of yourself!" Teddy slammed the table and said, "Don't blame me for not warning you, with Portia's power and status today, it's easy to divorce you, but she's old-fashioned and wants to leave you with some dignity, so you better not challenge her!" "Dignity?" Henrique only felt a little amused. How can you talk about dignity when you won't even show up for a divorce? Besides, if he really cared about his old feelings, why would he make such threats? "In my opinion, we have nothing more to talk about." Henrique didn't bother to say anything more, got up and was ready to leave. "You-" Teddy was about to snap. A beautiful woman in a long black dress with a slim waist and shapely hips pushed her way through the door. The woman's skin was as smooth as cream, her features were exquisite and perfect, and her figure was even more exquisite and perfect. Coupled with that cool aura, she looked like a fairy coming out of a painting, especially stunning! "You're finally willing to show up." Looking at the gorgeous woman in front of him, Henrique had mixed feelings for a while. After three years of marriage, they had always respected each other. But in the end, it has come to this. He didn't even know what he had done wrong? "Sorry, something just came up and I'm late." Portia took her seat casually, her expression as indifferent as ever. "What a busy woman, so busy that ...... Even a divorce needs a substitute," Henrique said. At these words, Portia could not help but frown slightly. But she did not explain, but said, "Since we are here, let's get down to business. I'm not going to say anything else, but this time, I've done you wrong and we'll get along well. After the divorce, the house and car will all be yours, and I will give you another eight million as a breakup fee. How about that?" After saying that, he also put a card on the table. "Do you think that feelings can be measured by money?" Henrique asked coldly. "Too little? Fine ...... Ask for whatever you want, as long as I can meet it." Portia looked bemused. "You don't seem to understand what I mean. Well, let me ask you another way; money and power. Are they really that important?" Henrique was puzzled. Portia walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the whole steel city, and said with a firm gaze, "At least for me, it's important!" "But you make enough money now to clothe and feed yourself for the rest of your life, for that matter?" "Henrique, that's the difference between you and me, you'll never understand what I'm really thinking." Portia shook her head in disappointment. It wasn't just the difference in status between the two that had brought them this far, but also the difference in spiritual level. Most of all, she couldn't see any hope in the other person. "Yeah ...... And how am I supposed to know what you're thinking?" Henrique smiled self-deprecatingly, "I will only cook for you when you are hungry, bring you clothes when you are cold, and carry you to the hospital when you are sick." "There's no point in talking about that now." There was a flash of complexity in Portia's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. "That's true." Henrique nodded noncommittally and added, "I heard that you've been, recently, very close to the Young Master of the Yang family? Is it because of him?" Portia was about to say no, but after thinking about it, she finally nodded, "You could interpret it that way." "Good, then I wish you both happiness." Henrique smiled lightly and signed the divorce papers straight away. There was no hesitation, no hesitation, there was just disillusionment. Ironically, today happened to be their wedding anniversary. Marriage and divorce, chosen on the same day, are a ridiculous thing to do. "I don't need the money or anything, but you have to give me back that ring, because it's my mother's legacy and the credentials of THE Mars family daughter-in-law." Henrique gestured to her hand. "Hmm." Portia nodded and took off the ring and handed it over. "From this day on, you and I are not to blame!" Henrique hung up the ring and then simply got up and left. At this moment, his eyes were no longer soft and were replaced by coldness. "Teddy, do you think I did the right thing?" Portia's gaze was a little complicated. Although she was the one who brought up the divorce, when it really came to this point, she found that she didn't seem to be happy at all. "Of course!" Teddy nodded heavily, "You have the right to pursue happiness. The current Henrique, is not worthy of you, he will only affect your progress, you are destined to be the woman at the top of Manhattan!" Portia didn't say anything, she just looked at the forlorn back, and something inexplicably tingled in her heart. It was as if something important was slowly fading away ......
