?<strong>Chapter 609:</strong>


    Carrie shook her head, her voice steady and calm. “No, thank you. Let’s leave it as it is.”


    She carefully reviewed the documents again, checking for any errors. Satisfied, she picked up the pen and signed her name.


    Next to her signature, Kristopher’s name was already written. The handwriting reflected his personality—bold,manding, and powerful. The strokes were so firm they nearly tore through the paper.


    Carrie wondered briefly how he felt as he signed.


    Was it reluctance? Resentment at her decisiveness? It didn’t matter anymore.


    From this moment on, they were strangers.


    A strange calm washed over her. There was no sadness, no joy—only a quiet eptance. Their once-entwined lives now felt like fragments of a past existence, blurred and fading into irrelevance.


    She handed the signed document back to Oliver.


    Thewyer meticulously checked everything before handing one copy of the agreement to Carrie. “Ms. Campbell, the agreement is in duplicate. This is your copy. Please keep it safe,” he said with a formal nod.


    He then produced additional documents for the transfer of shares, properties, and other assets. Carrie signed each one without hesitation, methodically severing the final ties to Kristopher and his family.


    When everything wasplete, Oliver finished his ss of water and stood. He bowed slightly as he said his farewell. “Ms. Campbell, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact me.”


    Carrie offered a faint smile. “Kristopher has given me enough money. I can solve any problem with it. And if money can’t solve it, I doubt you can either.”


    Her words carried a subtle jab, hinting at Lise and the chaos she had caused.


    Oliver, always perceptive, understood her meaning immediately. He knew better than to meddle in Kristopher’splicated entanglements of love and hate. He lowered his gaze and replied softly, “Ms. Campbell, Mr. Norris… he hasn’t had it easy these past years.”


    Carrie cut him off, her tone firm. “He has nothing to do with me anymore, and I don’t want to hear about him.”


    Realizing he had overstepped, Oliver nodded and quickly took his leave.


    The next morning, thewyer delivered the finalized divorce decree.


    Carrie had never seen it in person until now.


    Holding the official document in her hands, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of irony. This time, they were divorced for real. The legal bond that had once tied them together was now severed.


    Kristopher had made the process as straightforward as possible, signing everything in advance and ensuring there were no dys. He hadn’t even required both parties to be present.


    Perhaps it was for the best. If they had been in the same room, Carrie wasn’t sure how she would have faced him.


    Camille noticed the divorce decree in Carrie’s hand and raised an eyebrow. “Are you nning to move back to Bayview Vi?”


    Carrie snapped out of her thoughts and casually slipped the document into a drawer. “No. I’m not going back. I’m thinking of selling Bayview Vi and buying a new ce.”
