    Chapter 32 I Have No Feelings for You Anymore


    Chapter 32 I Have No Feelings <b>for </b>You Anymore


    Curtis‘ arms suddenly felt empty. The warmth that had been there was suddenly gone.


    “You’re moving out?” he eximed.


    “Yes. You didn’t really think that I’d continue living here after everything that happened, did you?” Chloe


    replied.


    “Besides, it won’t be long before we get divorced. I’m just moving out a few days early.”


    “We’ll be divorced in a few days?” he murmured. “You’re not talking about that ridiculous contract with


    Mom, are you?


    “That signature… She tricked me into signing it without my knowledge. I’ve told you before, I never wanted


    a divorce!”


    At the police station, he’d learned about the divorce agreement and Chloe’s demand for a 100–million-


    dor settlement from Helen.


    “I don’t care whether you knew or not. What matters is that I want a divorce from you right now,” Chloe


    said.


    “Is it because of Brian? Because you’ve found someone better than me?” A sh of jealousy crossed his


    eyes.


    Chloe regarded him with a wry smile. “Curtis, when I married you, you were broke and had nothing. Even the startup funds for your business came from me. If I’d truly wanted to climb up the socialdder, I


    wouldn’t have married you!”


    Curtis’s face drained of color. He remembered the days when he’d just been a poor boy everyone looked <fn5388> Updates are released by find{n}ovel</fn5388>


    down on.


    Yet Chloe had treated him with enough respect to restore his confidence.


    Back then, when he <i>proposed</i>, it hadn’t been entirely different from grabbing onto the only lifeline within


    his reach.


    “Then why are we getting divorced if it’s not because of Brian? For the 100 million dors Mom promised


    you?” he asked, staring at her.


    Chloe replied evenly, “I’m tired. This three–year marriage has worn me down andpletely drained any feelings I had for you. That’s why I want a divorce.”


    Her tone was calm, and her expressionposed. Even the way she looked at him carried a quiet sense of serenity.


    But Curtis felt his heart race uncontrobly. A wave of panic spread from his chest to every limb, and a cold sweat formed in his palms.

    “You… have no feelings for me anymore?” Even he didn’t realize it, but his voice was trembling slightly at


    that moment.


    “Yes. I don’t have any feelings left for you,” Chloe said.


    In an instant, Curtis‘ face darkened with anger. “Just because of Mom and Joanne? Yes, they plotted against you. But haven’t you been scheming against them too?


    “How else could you have secretly recorded everything and yed it on the banquet hall’s screen without


    their knowledge? You didn’t have to go that far!


    “You could have told me sooner! Things wouldn’t have gotten this bad!” Curtis roared, unleashing the


    frustration that had been building inside him.


    “I called you,” Chloe said suddenly.


    “What?” Curtis froze.


    “When Helen and Joanne first tried to use those despicable tactics against me, I called you. If you’d answered then, I wouldn’t have ended up here. Things might have ended the way you wanted. But you


    didn’t pick up,” Chloe said.


    Curtis stiffened. He suddenly remembered that, just before the scene from the room was broadcast on the banquet hall’s screen, he’d indeed received a call from Chloe.


    But at that moment, he’d feared that she might make a scene, and besides, Sonya had been with him too.


    So, he’d hung up immediately.


    If only he’d answered that call…


    In an instant, his heart filled with regret.


    “Chloe, I didn’t know… I was busy with other things at the time, so…”


    “You didn’t answer my calls because, deep down, you never truly cared about me. My calls didn’t matter to you, and that’s why even your family showed me no respect!”


    “I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” He kept apologizing.


    But her expression remained calm. “Honestly, even if yesterday hadn’t happened, I don’t have any feelings


    for


    you anymore, Curtis. Let’s just part ways amicably.”


    Her tone was detached, as if she were stating a simple fact.


    And the calmer she appeared, the more humiliated Curtis felt.


    How could she speak of divorce so calmly and say she no longer had any feelings for him?


    Did three years of marriage mean nothing to her?


    “What do you mean ‘part ways amicably‘? Or is it that you want a divorce from me just for the 100 million

    dors?” His gaze was heavy and conflicted as he stared at her.


    Chloe let out a mockingugh. “Fine. You don’t have to give me the money. We’re still getting divorced.”


    Curtis was stunned. He’d expected her to hesitate at least a little, but she’d agreed so decisively.


    In other words, she truly wanted a divorce.


    And that realization only made him feel more humiliated.


    “If you really divorce me, you’ll end up with nothing! You’d better think this through.”


    Having said that, he practically fled the vi, as if he was afraid of hearing an answer he didn’t want.


    The room fell silent. Chloe looked around the vi. It was time to move, but she hadn’t umted


    much in this house anyway.


    Over the next two days, Curtis was busy with raising funds for Helen and Joanne’s bail and searching for


    Since Chloe had refused to sign a letter of non–prosecution, Helen and Joanne would be taken to court.


    Even if they ultimately received a suspended sentence, they would still have a criminal record.


    It was something he absolutely couldn’t bear to see.


    But none of Corvessia’s four topw firms were willing to take the case, leaving him restless and barely


    able to sleep these past couple of days.


    At the club, Curtis drank irritably.


    “Don’t drink too much,” Sonya said with concern. “As for your mother and Joanne… we can figure


    something out. I can ask Uncle Wayne if he knows anywyers who might be willing to help.”


    Curtis looked at her with gratitude. “Sonya, thank you. After everything Joanne did to you, you’re still willing to help her.”


    “What are you talking about? I’m not that petty. Joanne is your sister. I don’t hold grudges over things like this,” Sonya replied, her tone calm and gracious.


    Luke praised from the side, “That’s why I say, a magnanimous woman like Sonya is far better than a petty one like Chloe. If she hadn’t made such a big scene, your mother and Joanne wouldn’t still be in custody.”


    Curtis frowned, “Enough. Stop talking about Chloe.”


    Just then, Sonya spotted her Wayne walking into the club with another man. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly turned to Curtis.


    “I see my uncle! Let’s go greet him. The man with him is quite influential. Anywyer in Corvessia would show him respect. If he’s willing to help, you won’t have to worry about finding a goodwyer.”
