Pretty CEO Regrets Divorce

At 9:00 a.m., in the East District Marriage License Bureau in Flandesburg, a handsome man in a white suit stood at the gate, holding a bunch of flowers. "It's already nine o'clock." "Three years ago today, Stella and I officially became husband and wife here." "Today, Stella invited me to come back here to celebrate. It's too sweet." Lucas Scott lowered his head to check the time. Last night. While working overtime at the company, Stella Harper asked Lucas to meet her tomorrow at 9 a.m. at the entrance of the East District Marriage License Bureau. She also told Lucas not to be late. Lucas smiled, "On such an important day, how could I be late?" However, Stella was late. Lucas didn't mind. After all, Stella's company had just gone public. She had a lot of things to handle. It was normal for her to be very busy. At ten past nine, a ruby red BMW X5 parked across the street. Lucas got excited when he saw it. After straightening his clothes, he walked to the car with the flowers. "Stella, you finally came." The car door was slowly opened. A woman in office attire, wearing high heels, got out of the car. "Stay away, don't get the car dirty." As soon as the woman got out of the car, she ordered Lucas with arrogance. Lucas wasn't annoyed. He just smiled and said, "Ms. Irwin, where is Stella?" "Ms. Harper doesn't want to see you." "She asked me to have you sign a document." Grace Irwin said and took a piece of paper out. "On such an important day, how could Stella not want to see me?" Lucas instinctively took the document with a smile. But when he saw the content, Lucas's smile froze. It was a divorce agreement. "Divorce?" Lucas was shocked. "Right." Grace crossed her arms, supporting her big boobs. "Ms. Harper said that she is a famous powerful woman in Flandesburg, leading the Harper Group to get the market value of more than a billion dollars within three years." "But you..." Grace sneered. "You're just a househusband who does nothing." "You're a crap." "If Ms. Harper hadn't married you, her achievements would have been even greater than today!" "She means I'm a burden?" Lucas was slightly stunned, as he hadn't expected Stella to evaluate him like this. "Right!" Grace said harshly. "You and Ms. Harper are not from the same world at all!" "You're just a stumbling block!" Seeing Lucas's silence, Grace hit the ground with her high heels. She hit faster and faster and became increasingly impatient. "Hurry up, sign the divorce agreement, don't waste my time." Lucas remained silent, and frowned. When he married Stella, the Harper Group didn't even have a decent table. It was Lucas who helped Stella behind the scenes so that the Harper Group could successfully go public, and Stella's net worth exceeded a billion dollars. But he didn't expect that after being famous and wealthy, Stella would kick him out. And in the eyes of others, he was a worthless househusband. "If Stella wants a divorce, let her talk to me in person!" Lucas's stared at her coldly. Upon hearing Lucas's words, Grace sneered: "Ms. Harper is too busy to deal with such a trivial matter." "Trivial matter?" Lucas almost laughed out loud. "In her eyes, divorce is considered a trivial matter." "It seems that she really looks down on me now." Grace coldly sneered, "I'm glad you know that." She then took out a bank card: "Lucas, if you agree to the divorce, you will receive a compensation of five million dollars." Grace disdained, "Since you like cooking so much, you can open a small restaurant with this five million. Isn't that good?" "I don't need it," Lucas said coldly. "I just want Stella to come and talk to me in person." "Lucas!" Grace immediately exclaimed coldly: "I know what you're thinking!" "You want Ms. Harper to come so that you can take advantage of the opportunity to make unreasonable demands!" "Giving you five million is already going above and beyond for Ms. Harper!" "Above and beyond, hahaha!" Lucas burst into laughter. "She doesn't even show up for a divorce, what do you mean by above and beyond?" He waved his hand. "Just go away and tell Stella that if she wants me to sign, she needs to come to me in person." Lucas was too lazy to continue talking with Grace. He turned around and was about to leave. "Lucas, if you don't sign the divorce agreement today, you can't leave!" Grace's patience was wearing thin, and she blocked Lucas in front of him. However, at this moment, the back door of the ruby-red BMW X5 opened. A dazzling woman got out of the car. She was a natural beauty with fine features. And she was in great physical shape with a slender waist. The stunning woman was Stella, Lucas's wife. Lucas looked at the woman who was so close yet felt so far away. During the three years of marriage, Lucas contributed a lot to the Harper family. He also respected Stella immensely and never went against a single word of hers. He didn't even mention s*x. But now, Lucas finally understood that in Stella's eyes, he was just a burden. Nevertheless, he still held hope for Stella. He looked at Stella with a hint of tenderness. "Stella, I need an explanation," Lucas said. "There's nothing to explain," Stella replied calmly, looking directly into his eyes. "As Ms. Irwin said, you and I are no longer in the same world." "To me now, you are just a..." Stella paused for a moment, then decided to keep quiet. After all, they were once a married couple, and she didn't want to say something so cold. Lucas remained expressionless, with the only hope gradually fading away. "Just a burden?" Lucas said coldly. "I'm a hindrance in your way to acquire more money and power, right?" "I'm sorry." Stella lowered her eyes. She took the divorce agreement and bank card from Grace and handed them to Lucas, saying, "Sign it, and you'll get five million dollars." "That's a compensation for you." "If there's anything more you want, as long as it's not too much, feel free to say." "I don't need anything," Lucas interrupted coldly. "Right now, I just want to clarify one question." "Go ahead," Stella remained indifferent. "Are money and power so important to you?" Lucas asked. Stella turned her head away, gazing into the distance where tall buildings stood. "Very important." "Even though you already have a billion dollars and a worry-free life, you still crave those things, right?" Lucas continued. "Are you willing to sacrifice even love for money and power?" "Absolutely." Stella answered without hesitation, then slowly exhaled. "Lucas, I admit you've been good to me, taking care of me meticulously in the Harper family." "But what use does that have?" Stella stared at him seriously. "As long as you have money and power, there's nothing you can't get." "The most important thing is, I can't see any hope of obtaining those things from you." "Alright, I see." Stella gradually became disheartened. He knew that Stella was no longer the person he used to know. There was no need to maintain the relationship any longer. "One last question," Stella asked casually. "I heard that you've been getting close with the son from the Smith family recently." "Does the divorce have something to do with him?" Stella was about to deny it, but after thinking, she nodded slightly. "Partly." "Alright." Lucas dropped the bank card and signed his name on the divorce agreement. After hearing Stella admitting it herself, he no longer had any feelings for her. After finishing, Lucas left gracefully. When he looked at Stella, there was no tenderness in his eyes, only indifference. "Lucas!" Grace saw Lucas drop the bank card and leave without turning back, immediately shouting angrily, "Stop!" "Let him go," Stella stopped Grace. She gazed at Lucas's back, feeling relieved.
