Nathan was nothing if not a devoted son.
Wendy slowly got to her feet, looked at them, and gave a faint, bitter smile. "Nathan, I''m not divorcing you."
"I''ll die before I divorce you. You said you loved me. You said you loved me, Nathan. You can''t abandon me when I''m at my lowest. Everyone will despise you for it, Nathan..."
"Enough! Wendy, it''s not that I won''t help you, it''s that I can''t. If you owed ten or twenty million, we could pay it off together. But you owe far too much. How am I supposed to help you repay that?"
"We''re getting a divorce tomorrow. You''re going whether you like it or not."
After saying his piece, Nathan led Joanna inside.
Wendy''s sobs were heart-wrenching.
Even though she had prepared for this, the pain was still sharp enough to steal her breath.
Wendy cried her heart out, mourning the tragic life she had led for decades. From this day forward, she swore she would never cry again.
Once she was divorced, she would live her life freely, while their nightmare would just be beginning.
"Mom, Mom!" Colin ran in from outside. Seeing his mother sobbing uncontrobly in the snow broke his heart.
He hadn''t been able to do anything to help her with thepany.
In the end, it had been brought down.
When Wendy saw him, she stopped crying and whispered urgently, "What are you doing back here? Get out of here, quickly."
Colin looked at his mother with tears in his eyes. "Mom, I was wrong. I really know i was wrong. I know you sentus away to protect us, but Mom were grown up now We don''t need your protection anymore. From now on, let me protect you, okay?"
Wendy met his earnest gaze, and fresh tears welled up.
"Colin, Joanna will keep trying to kill you. How could you be so foolish as to be her driver?" Looking at
her son''s determined exp
she decided not to fide the truth
from him any longer. He was her own son, and as long as his heart was in the right ce, how could she not care for him?
"Don''t worry, Mom. I know how to handle her. I''m staying by her side to find evidence of her crimes."
"Don''t. Don''t look for it. You won''t find anything. She''s too cunning. It took me a long time to find out she had stolen the two hundred million. She''s meticulous and never leaves a trace."
"Listen to me. Now is not the time. There''s someone behind her. We can only make our move when that person is exposed. That''s the only way to take them all down at once."
"You continue being her driver. Don''t do anything else. Just think of it as a learning experience. I have nothing left now, so I n to rest for a while. I''ve worked so hard for so many years; I can finally take a break
All these years, she had been so hard on herself.
Colin helped his mother up. "Mom, let''s go inside now. It''s too cold out here." "Okay," Wendy nodded slightly.
As they tried to enter, they found the door had been locked from the inside.
Colin couldn''t push it open, and a murderous glint shed in his eyes. "Mom, they''ve gone too far. Now they won''t even let us in the house."
Wendy let out a coldugh and pounded on the door. "Nathan, if you want a divorce, open this door! If you don''t, we can just drag this out until we''re old and gray.”
Hearing Wendy''s ultimatum, Nathan looked at Joanna and said, “Joanna, let her in for now. If she leaves, where am I going to find her tomorrow to get the divorce papers signed?"
