After divorce I am a billionaire

Chapter 1098 His Killer Move "What method?" Anthony's eyes held a deep meaning. "Grandma has always liked you as a granddaughter-in-law, and has watched Alistair grow up since childhood. She naturally doesn't want to let go. If you don't mind, | can sacrifice a little and continue this agreement marriage reluctantly. What do you think?" Mavis's mouth twitched.

Look at what he was saying? It seemed like he was so wronged by her reluctance to agree to the marriage proposal.

Why did it make her feel so uncomfortable? Her heart felt even more blocked, and Mavis refused decisively, "No, I'm not worthy of letting Mr. Callahan suffer." Anthony smirked deeply. "It's not too much of a loss after all since your body can be used as compensation." "Shameless," she muttered through gritted teeth before getting up and leaving the hospital room without wanting to stay for another moment.

"Where are you going?" Anthony called out after her.

She didn't even bother acknowledging him as she walked away quickly, slamming the door shut with a loud bang that sent chills down his spine and blew his hair in front of his forehead.

Even from just seeing her back view, he could sense the strong resentment emanating from her figure.

Anthony then restrained his expression before turning black-faced in an instant; even the delicious food on the small table lost its appeal along with it.

He put down his utensils and took out a cigarette box from behind the pillow before puffing smoke clouds into thin air within seconds.

"Mr. Callahan," Kane cin at that moment while witnessing him smoking. "Why are you smoking already? Mrs Callahan hasn't gone far yet; doctors have advised against smoking or drinking during recovery periods. Even if it's just for showmanship purposes, please act like an actual patient! It wouldn't look good if Mrs. Callahan saw this..." Kane was almost tearing his hair out; ever since he entered earlier on, all he had done was nag incessantly about everything under the sun! His constant nagging caused Anthony's eyebrows to furrow tightly together while also making him increasingly irritated.

"Her thoughts aren't focused onat all! She only wants divorce no matter what happens. Whether | smoke ten or twenty cigarettes until my lungs give way, she probably wouldn't care!" This statement clearly carried sresentment within it - definitely not pleased with how things were currently playing out between them both! As Kane continued speaking about how Mavis used to love him wholeheartedly previously but now seemingly changed due to something else entirely...

The more Kane spoke towards this end point, the quieter and softer-spoken becKane's voice till eventually receiving one sharp glare from Anthony which instantly silenced him altogether.

Anthony kept a cool expression on his handsface as he took a deep drag from his cigarette. It seemed like all of his frustration was being released through the smoke, but it only ended up irritating him further when he choked on it.

"Are you okay?" Anthony leaned against the pillow and waved his hand in annoyance. "Kane, take away the table." He couldn't eat, not at all.

He had already given her an out. Why was this woman so stubborn? Kane didn't dare say anything else and just sighed as he helped clear away the food containers so Anthony could lie down.

Mavis never returned to the hospital room. As he finished his cigarette, even the smell of smoke dissipated along with her absence.

Anthony furrowed his eyebrows tightly and eventually sent Kane to find Mavis.

At a corner of the hospital's secure passage, Mavis paced back and forth while talking on her phone.

"... Yes, don't worry about me. The situation here is good and Crana has excellent security measures in place. You don't need to worry about any mishaps happening to me." "Alistair can't be taken away yet. The issue of custody is complicated but I'll handle it." "Raymond? Why does he want to see me? There's nothing | need help with over here..." After remaining silent for a moment or two, she listened carefully to what was being said on the other end before becoming more serious, "How could you let him cwithout askingfirst? And now | have to go pick him up from the airport?" When Kane found Mavis, she was still talking on her phone completely unaware of his presence; he silently stopped in place not wanting to disturb her conversation too much.

Mavis was feeling extremely frustrated by this call that had been bothering her endlessly; she rubbed at her forehead in exasperation, "Why am | always so terrible towards him? Of course there are feelings there, but if he comes over during such an important time, then it will only cause trouble for me! Right now many media outlets are watching my every move. If we're seen together, then they'll start speculating again!" The secure passage remained eerily quiet as Kane listened intently without missing a single word that cout from Mavis’ mouth.

His pupils dilated as he took in what she said next, Raymond? If someone caused rumors or speculation, then they must be male- Mrs. Callahan actually admitted having feelings for another man? Was Mrs. Callahan really cheating?? No wonder why she admitted disliking Moore- there must have already been another man occupying space within heart! As soon as this realization hit home, Kane broke into cold sweat for Anthony.

Quietly leaving, Kane went back to the ward.

Mavis remained oblivious while completely absorbed within their conversation which left no room for anyone else around them.

"Okay, Mom, don't worry about my affairs. I'll figure it out myself. The Callahan family is one of the top wealthy families in Crana with a deep background. My father's tactics won't work on them. I'll go pick up Raymond and hang up." Without waiting for a response, she hung up resolutely.

But as soon as she was about to put down her phone, another call cin.

This tit was Anthony.

As soon as she answered, his voice was low and contained resentment. "Where did you go?" Mavis made up an excuse casually. "Bathroom." Anthony remained silent for a while, seemingly suppressing sanger.

"You need two hours to go to the bathroom? You're here to take care of patients and should be dutifully accompanying them instead of sneaking out and being lazy." Mavis felt scolded for no reason and looked at the time. She had been gone for almost an hour and a half already, but Kane was with Anthony so why did he have to get mad at her? After talking on the phone with her mother feeling upset herself, Mavis didn't indulge him either, "Mr. Callahan, you're too precious.

I'm afraid | can't take good care of you anyway! Why don't you just hire a maid who can feed you spoon by spoon? Sort your divorce papers earlier so that | can be free!" The other end of the phone fell into silence again.

Feeling inexplicably reprimanded, Mavis also becangry, "If there's nothing else, then I'm hanging up now! I'm not feeling well.

| want to rest in my apartment. I'll cback tomorrow." Anthony calmly said, "No, you have ten minutes to cback." Mavis wasn't happy, "Are you threateningagain?" "Tonight, | will have Alistair brought over by the driver. He will stay overnight in this ward with me. Are you sure you want to return home?" Uh...

For sreason, she had this illusion that her son had becAnthony's trump card against her willfulness. Even if it meant jumping into fire pits, she would do anything when it involved their child. "Understood, I'll be back soon." With confirmation from her, the call ended decisively, but his mood still remained sour. Mavis didn't waste any more time. She took the emergency exit stairs straight onto an elevator, and returned within five minutes or less.

But apparently Anthony's mood hadn't improved much since he only called her back just because he could manipulate her like that. His deep blue eyes fell upon Mavis' face, his expression cold. "You're even clumsy peeling oranges. How are you taking care of patients?"
