"Divorce!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

When those two words entered her ears, June Kane’s body instantly went stiff. She raised her head, staring first at Simon Sterling in complete shock, then seeing the coldness and resolve in his eyes, she bit her teeth hard and after a moment, spoke with a trembling voice.

"Divorce?"

"You want to divorce me!"

"Yes!"

Just a faint word, without a trace of hesitation.

June staggered back a few steps, almost falling to the ground in panic.

She knew that Simon in front of her was not joking!

It was real!

He wanted to divorce her! He didn’t want her anymore!

"Ah!"

June then screamed sharply, frantically smashing the things around her, not even sparing the pictures hanging on the wall.

In just a short while, the floor of the room was in chaos, while Simon stood there indifferently, unaffected by June’s frenzy, not even scrambling to comfort her.

He was like a bystander, watching June scream and cause a commotion.

The choice to divorce was not made in a moment of anger, nor to threaten June.

Simon had always been thoughtful with his actions, just like when he married June back then.

Waiting for June’s emotions to slightly calm down, Simon continued with an even tone, "Wyatt with me, Felicity with you."

"Heh!"

Upon hearing his words, June’s eyes turned red, and she let out a mocking laugh.

"Simon, you’re dreaming if you want to divorce me!"

"Divorce me? Over my dead body!"

She emphasized every word, telling Simon that she would rather die than divorce him.

Divorce! Why!

"Simon, you’re burning bridges, you’re ungrateful. Without me and the Ford Family, Claire Sullivan would have died in prison long ago, and what about your children? Do you think they would live safely?"

"I’m the one who didn’t accuse her, I’m the one who helped you!"

"Now, your illegitimate children and Claire Sullivan have come to the Imperial Capital, and you want to kick me aside? Dream on!"

June grew more agitated as she spoke, pointing at Simon, gritting her teeth and cursing him bitterly.

Seeing June equally resolute, Simon’s voice remained equally cold, "I’ve decided to divorce."

"If you don’t agree, then let’s go to court."

He hadn’t come to discuss with June, nor to scare her, but because he truly wanted to end this marriage.

"Simon!"

June screamed hysterically, "I will never agree."

Simon had used her, and now he wanted to be with Claire Sullivan, impossible! Even after death, it would be impossible.

"If you wish to use death to threaten, feel free."

Simon added, not fearing June’s threats with her own life.

Regarding June calling him ungrateful, he had nothing to say!

After speaking, he lifted his foot to leave. Seeing his determination, realizing her threats meant nothing to him, panic suddenly surged in June’s heart, and real fear set in.

"Brother Sheng, please don’t go!"

She moved forward, clutching Simon tightly, bursting into tears.

She loved Simon, unchanged for over twenty years.

He was the one she wanted the most, twenty years ago, and even more so twenty years later.

"Brother Sheng, I was wrong, really wrong."

"I’ll listen to you, please don’t abandon me."

June cried and pleaded with him.

Whether in anger or in pitiful tears, it made no difference to Simon; he would not compromise.

Simon was indifferent, Simon was ruthless. If he could be so easily swayed by someone, if he were truly soft-hearted, he wouldn’t have held back all those years and wouldn’t have severed ties with Claire Sullivan.

He, Simon Sterling, had the hardest and most indifferent heart.
