The Dead Fiancé's Return: Too Late, She's His Uncle's Wife Now novel Chapter 20

“It’s your turn,” I urged.

My eyes sparkled, my face filled with a smile, and my chin continuously pressed down, signaling for him to press and confirm.

Across from him, the employees were also looking at him.

Around us, the entering and exiting employees slowed down to see his reaction.

Calix gazed at me intently.

He seemed to be carefully confirming whether my pressing the button was using children and marriage as threats to force him to yield.

He slowly raised his finger, and indeed I widened my eyes, a look of urgency appearing on my face.

Calix sneered, convinced that I wanted to play a survival game and wait for him to take a step back to save the marriage.

I didn’t think about that at all. I was tense and only hoped that Calix would act quickly. I didn’t want to divorce and be surrounded by everyone.

It took Calix more than ten seconds to put his finger down, to press and confirm!

He thought I would definitely reveal my true intentions, finally making a phone call to intervene, but I didn’t say a word until the end!

The raised fingers fell silently.

At that moment, a chilly voice came, “Calix.”

Cathy led the assistant over, her face beaming with a radiant smile.

She happened to see the employee sealing the video, presenting the divorce certificate, and covering her mouth pretending, “You… you really divorced?”

I curled my lips, mocking with a smirk.

At first, Calix didn’t look happy, and his movements were inexplicably slow, but as Cathy came, he quickly confirmed the divorce, so he must have been worried about Cathy to some extent.

Cathy didn’t linger for too long either. She approached and held Calix’s arm, “I rushed over, didn’t have

breakfast yet. I heard there’s a great breakfast restaurant nearby. Can you go there with me?”

I didn’t care about the two showing affection towards each other. I turned around and walked out.

“Anya, why don’t we go together?” Cathy called from behind.

She leaned on Calix’s arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and said, “Although you are divorced, we are still friends. Taylor also often said that he wanted to play with Karina.”

Why didn’t I know that she was boasting about her victory, feeling extremely bored and not bothering to give her face, saying straightforwardly, “No need, I don’t have a habit of being friends after a divorce.”

I started to play the role of a meek woman like a lamb again, but I wouldn’t be provoked by her any longer.

“Why don’t you leave your contact information?” The assistant behind Cathy said, “Cathy has a lot of resources and knows many big bosses. In the future, she could introduce suitable people to you. It certainly won’t leave you alone after the divorce. The quality of life will be affected.”

“What are you saying!” Cathy whispered, but it had no effect whatsoever.

This play was performed very well… I looked at Cathy and couldn’t help but laugh.

With my income, I can support hundreds of Cathys on my own. So why should I worry about the quality of life??

“Miss Cathy doesn’t need to worry about my quality of life.”

Before I could speak, a male voice interjected.

Immediately, my shoulder sank, and someone grabbed me.

“One month’s sales profit is enough for me to buy ten AMM Media companies and support Anya alone. That’s enough.”

AMM Media is the company where Cathy currently works.

With these words, John Marcus mocked Cathy for not being able to control herself.

“John?” Seeing the man in front of me, Cathy’s perfect face quickly changed, her eyes widened, showing an expression of disbelief, “You, you two?”

Calix remained silent next to her, suddenly becoming weary, and his eyes were fixed on the hand placed on my shoulder!

Finally, he understood that I truly wanted a divorce.

And the reason for the divorce was definitely the man in front of them!

I couldn’t have known this man for three or two days. He must have thought I deceived him during our marriage!

Calix deeply felt my betrayal, even angrier than when I forced him to marry!

Cathy clearly sensed his anger, her heart skipping a beat.

“Let’s go.” John didn’t look at the others and gently said to me.

I nodded, “Okay.”

Both of us ignored the group of people behind us and left.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned.

“Isn’t that John, the one directly involved in advertising and selling through live streaming?”

“A few years ago, he sold a rocket, and Starlight Media, where he worked, made a lot of money. He became even more famous.”

“Nowadays, from eight to eighty years old, everyone knows him, buy things from him, and his monthly revenue is in the trillions!”

“Not only that, his father is the second richest businessman in this city, a truly wealthy person!”

Such a man, although he couldn’t compare to Calix, was not inferior either.

It seems that I have just walked out of a wealthy family and am about to step into another wealthy family.

Cathy remained silent, tightening her fingers.

How could this woman break off her engagement four years ago and then, four years later, have someone as wealthy as John pursuing her?

“Fredrica called you, right?”

When we arrived at a place with no one around, I pushed John away and remained speechless.

John had a youthful face and a constant smile, very charming.

“It has nothing to do with her. I wanted to come here on my own. What I just said wasn’t a joke. If you want, we can get married immediately!”

“Enough, I don’t want to be killed by your father. Life is good, and I still want to live for several more

decades.” I rolled my eyes.

We had known each other for many years, so there was no need for reservations. We spoke our minds.

John snorted and laughed. The two of us made innocuous jokes for a while before separating.

I went straight to Starlight Media to find Fredrica. “Fredrica, with all the commotion today, something must have happened. Pay attention.”

Fredrica pressed the tablet on the table. “It’s late, something did happen.”

I raised the tablet, looked down, saw the content on it, and took a sharp breath with a hiss.

I didn’t know which audience member had enthusiastically posted authentic photos of my divorce from Calix and my relationship with John on the internet.
