Chapter 1
Anna Brown looked at the divorce papers on the table that her husband had already
signed.
She looked in the direction of the window with tears in her eyes. Justin Salvador was
standing there in the glow of the afternoon sun, looking as perfect and cold as a stone
sculpture and emanating an oppressive vibe.
“I’ve signed the papers. You should sign them as soon as possible so that we can finalize
the divorce before Rose comes home.”
Justin put his hands behind his back and said, without glancing at her, “Since we had a
prenuptial agreement, there won’t be any issues with property division. But as
compensation, I will give you an additional $20 million as well as the villa in the western
suburbs. After all, I won’t be able to explain it to Grandpa if you leave without taking a
cent.”
Anna was dumbstruck. “Does Grandpa know that you want to divorce me?”
“Grandpa’s opinion won’t affect my decision.”
Anna’s slender body shook, so she could only hold onto the edge of the table to stabilize
herself. Tears streamed down her face as she asked, “Justin, can we please stay married?”
Finally, Justin turned around and looked at her doubtfully.
He pursed his thin lips and narrowed his dark eyes. His handsome face still made Anna’s
heart skip a beat.
“Why?”
“Because I love you.”
Anna’s eyes were red and tearful. “Justin, I love you. I still want to be your wife even if you
don’t have feelings for me…”
“I’ve had enough of this, Anna. A marriage without love is torture for me.”
Justin waved her off. He did not even have the patience to listen to her. “Our marriage was
a mistake from the start. You knew that I was just fighting with Grandpa back then. You
also knew that I liked Rose. I just couldn’t be with her back then for certain reasons. She’s
coming back from Meridan soon, and I plan to marry her, so you have to leave now that
our three-year contract period is up.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnna lowered her head. Large teardrops fell on the table, but she quickly wiped them
away.
Justin noticed it, but he did not say a word.
At this time, his phone rang. He quickly answered the call when he saw the name on the
screen.
“Rose, have you boarded the plane yet?”
He had such a gentle tone that Anna wondered if it came from the same man who was so
cold to her
moments ago.
Rosalind Gold said in a cheery voice over the phone, “Justin, I’m already at the Savrow
Airport.”
“What? Weren’t you supposed to get in tonight?”
“I wanted to surprise you!”
“Wait for me, Rose. I’ll pick you up now!”
After that, Justin left in a hurry.
When the door slammed shut, Anna felt heartbroken and abandoned.
She had sacrificed so much for the Salvadors and had devoted herself to Justin during
their marriage.
In the end, he only thought of her decade-long crush and three years of marriage as
torture.
Justin acted as if he had been released from serving a three-year prison sentence and
hurriedly abandoned Anna at the first opportunity. This was so that he could marry his
childhood sweetheart, Rosalind Gold, whom he had been longing for.
Anna was crushed and disheartened to find that she could not do anything to win over
Justin’s heart.
She took a deep breath, smiled wryly, and shook her head. Her indignant tears smudged
Justin’s beautiful signature on the divorce papers.
In the evening, Justin brought Rosalind back to Tideview Manor.
Justin, the second son of the affluent Salvador family, carried a demure woman in bridal
style as he walked into the manor, attracting everyone’s attention. 1
“Justin, you’re not divorced yet, so we shouldn’t be so intimate. Otherwise, Anna will
resent me if she sees us.” Rosalind rubbed Justin’s chest as she spoke softly.
“She won’t.”
Justin’s eyes turned cold as he said, “So what if she sees us? I don’t love her. She’s only
my wife in name, so she should know her place.”
The Salvadors gathered around Rosalind and greeted her while Anna was setting the table
in the dining room.
Justin caught a glimpse of his wife’s lonely figure and smirked, thinking, ‘How could Anna
be so servile to my family? Did she think that doing so would make me change my mind
about the divorce? How ridiculous!’
“Young Master Justin!” After a while, the butler ran over to Justin. “Young Madam just left!”
“She left? When?”
“Just now! She didn’t take anything with her. She just took off her apron and left through
the back door. A black car picked her up.”
Justin hurried back to the bedroom, which was clean and tidy. He saw the signed and tear-
stained divorce agreement on the bedside table.
He frowned and walked over to the window, just in time to see a black Rolls-Royce driving
away from Tideview Manor. Soon, its tail lights disappeared into the night.
Justin thought to himself, ‘Wasn’t she reluctant to leave in the afternoon? It looks like she
can’t wait
to leave right now!’ 1
He felt that Anna had played him like a fool, so he took out his phone and called his
secretary indignantly.
“Check whose car this belongs to. License plate number SA9999.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Five minutes later, Justin’s secretary called him back. “Mr. Salvador, I found out that the
car with that
license plate number belongs to the CEO of KS Group.”
KS Group’s CEO was the eldest son of the Thompson family, Asher.
Anna came from a small town. She was poor and did not have any connections. During the
past three years, Justin noticed that Anna did not even have a social circle because all she
did was stay at home. How did she manage to get acquainted with Asher Thompson?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJustin thought that Anna had already found herself a rebound guy.
“Mr. Salvador, did you bring up the divorce with the young madam today?” His secretary
asked
tentatively.
“Of course! Why would I drag it out?” Justin felt frustrated.
“Oh… But it’s the young madam’s birthday today.”
Justin was taken aback when he heard this.
In the back row of the black Rolls-Royce, Asher, the eldest son of the prestigious
Thompson family, gently held Anna’s hand.
“Your second brother prepared a fireworks show for you tonight to celebrate your return.”
“I’m really not in the mood to watch fireworks.”
Anna resumed her identity as Bella Thompson, the heiress of the Thompson family. She
leaned on her eldest brother’s shoulder and burst into tears.
She glanced at her old phone and read the last message she received, which was from
Rosalind.
[You stole Justin from me. I told you that I’d make you give him up sooner or later. Justin is
mine, so stop pestering him!]
She smiled tearfully with her eyes closed and came to a realization.
“What’s wrong? Do you still miss him after all he has done to you?” Asher hugged his
sister in
distress.
“Ash, it’s my birthday today…”
“I know. Justin is a jerk for choosing to divorce you today of all days.”
“That’s why I have no regrets. Justin just killed Anna Brown.”
When she opened her eyes again, she was no longer Anna Brown, the dutiful wife of Justin
Salvador. Instead, she was once again Bella Thompson, the proud heiress of KS Group.
This time, she would no longer be hung up on that man.
Bella said, “I’m over him. I’ll be damned if I ever go back to him.”
