Chapter 4 Special Divorce Gift to Teach the Two-Timer a Lesson

Soon, Absalom returned and handed Harmonia a tube of ointment.

“This is for your hand. Remember to apply the ointment.”

He had noticed the swelling and bruising on her hand, so he bought her some medicine. But what was this? A carrot and a stick approach? He seemed to have forgotten that he was the reason she got injured!

Harmonia snorted. “Awww, I’m so touched.”

“Since you’re so touched, maybe you should reconsider so that you won’t regret it.”

“Reconsider what? Adding an injury to my other hand?”

Harmonia’s tone carried a hint of sarcasm. She even tossed the tube of ointment into the nearby trashcan right in front of Absalom.

“Harmonia, what is the meaning of this?”

“Oops, my hand slipped.”

Absalom’s gaze turned icy, and his expression darkened. “You don’t know what’s good for you, woman!”

He was right. She really did not know what was good for her. Otherwise, how could she have wasted her affection on him for a whole five years?

“Take a look at the agreement. If it’s acceptable, go ahead and sign it,” Harmonia said in an emotionless tone.

As Absalom looked through the agreement, his sharp eyes caught a particular detail.

“A billion? You’re asking for quite a lot.”

“A billion is just pocket change for you, Mr. Terran.”

“You married me for my money. Now that we’re getting a divorce, I’ll give you what you want.” As he said that, he signed the divorce agreement.

They walked into the courthouse.

Due to his identity, Absalom drew many curious glances. After all, he was the well-known and assertive CEO of Nilus City, who had impeccable looks and a good family background. Naturally, he would capture attention wherever he went.

As for Mrs. Terran, Harmonia, she was relatively unknown. With glasses and a mask, her appearance was unremarkable. Yet, she exuded an indescribable sense of aloofness.

The next moment, a photo of the two of them at the courthouse was posted online, and it confirmed the trending rumors of their divorce.

As the crowd of onlookers grew larger by the minute, their divorce process was expedited.

In no time, they completed the divorce proceedings, with their divorce certificates stamped and sealed.

Harmonia still remembered how excited and thrilled she was when she received her marriage certificate five years ago. Back then, had she ever imagined that they would end up getting a divorce? Of course not.

Even though they never consummated their marriage, and their bond was never deep, she had never considered divorcing him.

However, holding the divorce certificate in her hands, she felt a sense of relief.

Absalom was like an unresponsive void. He was not worth taking a leap of faith for.

“A billion, thank you.” Harmonia looked at Absalom. Of course, she did not forget about the money. After all, it was only right and proper to be paid for services rendered.

Absalom frowned. His gaze turned cold. He took out a bank card and handed it to her.

“The PIN is on the back of the card.”

Harmonia readily accepted the bank card. She was not worried at all about whether there was money on it. After all, they had signed the agreement in black and white.

Then, she handed him an envelope.

“Consider this my separation gift to you, Mr. Terran.”

“We’ll meet again.” They would cross paths again!

Harmonia turned around and walked away without looking at him.

The way she called him “Mr. Terran” as well as her swift departure made his grip on the envelope tighten. He felt a heavy lump in his throat.

However, upon further thought, their divorce was probably for the best.

She was a woman who coveted his wealth. She was ruthless and unscrupulous. If he had stayed married to her, she would always be a potential threat to him.

Absalom looked at the crumpled envelope and let out a sigh of relief. Despite the thought, he still felt frustrated.

His secretary had already arrived and was waiting for him. He had to get to the company to chair a meeting.

As the car smoothly moved forward, Absalom sat in the back seat and opened the envelope from Harmonia.
