Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 764 - 744 Divorce Agreement (3)

Actually, he didn’t need to feel guilty at all.

He had already been kind enough to himself.

For the sake of Huo Group, for the mayor’s position, giving up on himself was perhaps the right thing to do.

After listening to Lawyer Yang’s words, Jiayi’s face seemed to settle slightly, her eyelids drooped, and she quickly signed her name on the two copies of the contract.

The final stroke passed over the paper, emitting a faint friction sound.

Signing this agreement signified the end of her marital relationship with him.

She thought she had managed to remain calm, but her heart still felt as if it had been struck by something.

Closing the folder, she handed it to Lawyer Yang.

The two officers were somewhat surprised in secret.

When they accompanied the Huo Family lawyer here, they had thought she might cry, make a scene, even threaten suicide, or refuse to sign.

Wasn’t it difficult to become the Huo Family’s young mistress?

This glory wasn’t something every woman could bear to cast off.

They didn’t expect the young mistress to sign the document so quickly—

So quickly.

Lawyer Yang took the folder, noticing that Jiayi’s complexion was very swollen and pale, he couldn’t help but say, "Miss, are you feeling unwell? Didn’t you notify the officers at the detention center? There’s a hospital and doctors here, if it’s inconvenient for you, I can go now and call a doctor to come and check on you—"

Before he could finish, she spoke up, "I’m fine. Thank you for your concern."

She added, "Lawyer Yang, please don’t call me young mistress anymore."

Lawyer Yang was momentarily stunned, but then corrected himself, "Miss Chu, regarding your case, the Boss will continue to assign a legal team to work with your father, Mr. Chu, to complete it. Rest assured, the Boss will certainly try his best—"

"I know. Thank you all," she paused, then forced a smile, "and thanks to Mr. Huo as well."

After all, she used to be Mrs. Huo.

Even if he was eager to disassociate himself from her, eager to prove his impartiality and adherence to the law, he couldn’t possibly completely ignore her.

After all, she was his ex-wife, the former daughter-in-law of the Huo Family; he had to show the public that he wasn’t a heartless man.

So, continuing to assign lawyers to fight her case was quite normal.

Lawyer Yang took a deep breath, feeling somewhat compassionate, "Miss Chu, don’t overthink it. Once this case is successfully concluded—"

Before he could finish, footsteps approached from the corridor, getting closer and closer!

Before Lawyer Yang could react, the folder in his hand was snatched away, then harshly thrown to the ground:

"...Having already signed the divorce papers, why put on a show of false benevolence here? Go report back to your boss!"

Jiayi looked over and saw Xia Tingxuan had arrived, her already restrained emotions immediately began to surge, her eyes reddening as she tried to suppress the trembling in her voice, "Mommy."

Xia Tingxuan had slammed down the agreement, her face livid as she approached her daughter.

Lawyer Yang was a bit embarrassed; he picked up the folder and handed one copy to Jiayi.

Fang Yao had come with Auntie Xia, and she was also furious, but she was more rational than Xia Tingxuan, scolding, "Aren’t you leaving yet?"

Lawyer Yang had no choice but to hurry away.

The two officers glanced at each other, not commenting on Xia Tingxuan’s recent outburst.

An officer looked at his watch, "You still have ten minutes of visiting time. You two talk first."

The officers are usually very strict, but now they pitied her, having just been abandoned by her husband, lost her marriage, and fallen from the exalted position of the Huo Family’s young mistress to a prisoner without status or name.

Jiayi’s smile was inexplicably bitter.

Fang Yao saw her expression, and thought, "Oh no, why isn’t she crying but smiling instead? Could it be that she’s too shocked?" She became somewhat anxious, "That scum Derek—ah!"

She didn’t know what to say to comfort her.

Huo Zhenyang, this guy, is he really serious this time?!

She thought that him refusing to see Jiayi would be the end of it, but now he’s actually filing for divorce with Jiayi?!

That bastard, has he gone mad? Has he forgotten how desperately he clung to Jiayi, not letting her go?

He even fooled her into giving up the fight!

What now? Does he no longer cherish what he has gained?

Xia Tingxuan’s expression also darkened as she looked at her daughter with concern.

The thing she feared most had finally happened.

Was the same ordeal she went through now going to repeat itself with her daughter?

Taking a deep breath, Jiayi looked at her mother, her lips curving slightly into a shallow smile, much like the sweet smile she used to put on when she hurt herself playing as a child, not wanting Xia Tingxuan to worry:

"Mommy, I’m okay. Really. Why are you guys more upset than me?"

Xia Tingxuan didn’t know what to say at this moment and could only look at her daughter with a heart full of pain.

When she heard the news in China that Chu Yanhan and Xuan Yu got married in S Country, she must have felt exactly like Jiayi feels now.

The instant numbness, confusion, and shock made her oblivious to pain; she simply wrapped herself up and kept telling herself over and over in her heart, "I’m not sad, it’s no big deal."

Over time, she became numb, as if she really wasn’t upset anymore.

But it wasn’t that she wasn’t upset; it was just that the pain had seeped into her marrow.

Wanting to bring the mood back to normal, Jiayi looked at Xia Tingxuan, "Mommy, did you already know about this?"

Mom hadn’t come to see her for two days.

And her reaction when she just happened to run into Lawyer Yang asking her to sign the divorce papers didn’t seem like a surprise.

Xia Tingxuan’s expression shifted, and after a while, she said, "The day before yesterday, Huo Zhenyang held a press conference and had the lawyer announce the divorce. Your daddy was furious when he found out, absolutely livid. These past two days, your daddy and I wanted to talk to him but couldn’t get in touch. We kept reassuring ourselves, maybe Huo Zhenyang was just putting on a show for the public, but I didn’t expect it to be true..."

Jiayi tried to keep her voice steady, "Mommy, you and daddy don’t need to look for him anymore."

The divorce papers were already signed, what was the point in looking for him? It was her daughter’s last shred of dignity; of course, Xia Tingxuan understood. She frowned and took Jiayi’s hand, "Don’t worry, daddy is pulling strings for your case. Mommy will definitely not let you sit in jail for a false charge. That cousin of Huo Zhenyang is a golden girl from A Country’s upper class, with all of society and the government paying attention. But you, you’re also a miss from the Chu Family, and you shouldn’t be wrongly accused for no reason!"

Are connections really that useful?

In Yunling, who could possibly surpass that man’s extensive network?

If it were useful, she would have been out on the first day.

Now it was no longer a problem that connections could solve.

But she couldn’t share this with her mom, to avoid making her worry.

Jiayi gave a faint smile, "Mm."

Fang Yao pulled Jiayi to one side and whispered, "Jiayi, he... might have his own difficulties. Let me go ask him again..."

She really didn’t want to speak up for that despicable man!

But looking at Jiayi in this state, she felt she had no choice but to speak on his behalf.

At least it could make Jiayi feel somewhat better.

Difficulties?

Of course, Jiayi understood.

She had always lost to his boundless prospects, to his Huo Empire.
