I sent the divorce agreement that I had signed to his company.
Vincent also quickly responded to me.
Someone pushed the price of the house I sold to the lowest.
I guess he instructed someone to do this intentionally, he was using this way to force me to come
back to him.
I didn’t delude myself into thinking that he would feel pity for me.
I knew that all he needed was a Mrs. Atkinson who could be taken out without affecting the image of
the group.
Apart from me, there wouldn’t be any better candidates for the time being, including his lifesaver.
Although my family’s fortunes declined, at least a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.
But seeing the multimillion–dollar mansion my mother had bought for me back then worth nothing
at this moment, my heart was torn apart.
I gritted my teeth and finally decided to sell the house. The luxurious mansion, worth fifty million, ended up being sold for less than ten million.
My stepmother looked at me with unwillingness in her heart as I pressed my fingerprint.
“These heartless people, Chelsea, how could you have been bullied like this if you were by Vincent’s-
side!”
“Listen to Aunt’s advice, and go back to Vincent!” Ah?” I didn’t say anything, pressing my fingerprint was my best answer.
In the following days, I was busy handling various transfer procedures both inside and outside the
house.
The days passed little by little like this.
Two months later, late at night, I saw Vincent again downstairs from the apartment I was renting.
There has been no movement or progress on my past divorce agreement up until now.
So I was very surprised to see Vincent appear in this place.
Before I could say a word, I saw Vincent turn around while I stood still.
“Chelsea, let’s talk.”

I looked at him in silence, and I didn’t think there was anything else I could talk to him about now except for the divorce.
“It has been two months, and I finally saw my Mrs. Atkinson.”
“Before, you used to call me every day if you couldn’t see me, asking about my well–being. How come now you’ve become so distant…”
I interrupted him and spoke directly.
“Vincent, I feel like we didn’t really need to catch up.”
Vincent’s eyes stared at me intently, and after a while, he let out a cold laugh.
“I calculated an account for you. According to your father’s current situation, you would need to
spend at least one million per month.”
“Plus the rough expenses in your family, you are not enough if you don’t have a minimum of two
million every month.”
“And you, now without any source of income, your savings can only last for a maximum of one
year.”
I spoke to him expressionlessly, “As long as Mr. Atkinson extends a helping hand, I always manage to overcome difficulties.”
“Mr. Atkinson?” Vincent sneered, “Why didn’t you call me Mr. Atkinson when you climbed into my bed back then?”
“Do you
you think it was so easy for you to leave now?”
Seeing me still at my mother’s house for several consecutive days, my stepmother became
unsettled.
She pointed at the luggage that had been placed in the room, her tone not very good.
“There is no man who doesn’t argue with his spouse, and occasionally cheating is normal.”
“That Shelby family was poor, and their eyes were blind. I inquired and found out that they had also
been divorced.”
“Such a person would not affect your status at all.”
What position did I have at Vincent’s place?
I chuckled at myself and took the pigeon soup from my stepmother’s hand, putting it in a thermos and saying to myself.
“Auntie, you can take a rest today. I will take care of Dad.”
My stepmother stared at me for a while, and then, angrily, she said, “You won’t listen no matter what I say.”
“Your father knew that you wanted a divorce and was probably furious.”
“Chelsea, let’s take a step back, even if you really continue with him, will you be able to survive
after the divorce?”
“What do you have to support the Blanchard family now?”
I slowly twisted the thermos, and after twisting it well, I lowered my head and whispered.
“There is always a way, the money from selling the wedding ring would be enough to cover my father’s medical expenses for a year.”
“I planned to sell this house, and I would also go out to work and support my family.”

After saying that, my eyes became moist. This house was left to me by my mother, and I had never moved it before, no matter how difficult it was.
The stepmother was stunned, she didn’t try to persuade anymore, but she always disagreed in her
heart.
I cleaned up the kitchen and then went to the hospital with my stepmother.
After treatment, my father’s condition has generally stabilized.
I also didn’t mention the divorce to my dad.
In the afternoon, the attending physician Triston Crane came to make rounds.
After the inspection, he glanced at me and said, “Let’s go outside and talk.”
I was stunned.
