Chapter1

"Valerie Harold, let's get a divorce!"

When Wendell Joule 's voice came from behind, Valerie was frying steak.

The sizzling hot oil splashed on her cheeks, but she didn't feel any pain.

"You and I are only husband and wife in name, not in love. Now the four-year period has expired, and it's time to end it."

The man's voice was cold and distant.

Valerie bit her lip.

This day finally came...

Four years ago, Harold Family went bankrupt. Her parents jumped off the building because they couldn't bear the burden, leaving a mess for Valerie to bear alone.

Valerie 's grandfather and Wendell 's grandfather were comrades who had carried guns together. Old Mr Harold had saved Old Mr Joule on the battlefield.

On his deathbed, Old Mr Harold was most worried about his little granddaughter, so he entrusted Valerie to Old Mr Joule.

So, there was this marriage that was not worthy of the name.

However,sh know when, in this marriage, she had already crossed the line and handed over her heart completely.

She thought that there was a long way to go, and as long as she played the role of a "wife"well, she would eventually get his true love.

But what she got was a divorce!

"I will give you 40 million plus a large penthouse in Long Beach as compensation. This is the divorce agreement. If you have no objection, please sign it."

Wendell handed a stack of documents to Valerie expressionlessly, his eyebrows were cold as if he was negotiating a business deal.

Valerie took the agreement and looked at the strings of numbers.

Four years, 40 million.

The Joule Family is still as wealthy as ever.

"Do you have to divorce?"

Valerie closed the agreement and looked up at the man in front of her.

This man she had loved for four years had an extremely handsome face and an upright figure. He was always so serious and restrained, like a flower on a mountain, out of reach.

"You have to divorce."There was no hesitation in

Wendell's cold tone.

Her heart was slightly stung.

But Valerie was never a fussy person.

Since she had hit her head against the wall with all her heart, it was time to turn back.

Never mind. Four years of marriage in exchange for 40 million, it's worth it anyway!

"Okay, I agree."

She took the pen and wrote her name on the agreement neatly.

Wendell was a little surprised.

In his memory, this woman has always been weak and indecisive, like Valerie who has no ability to survive.

At this moment, she is quite cool.

Inexplicably, he was a little unhappy.

"I'll notify you of the registration time. If possible, you'd better move out tonight."

Wendell ignored the unhappiness in his heart, said coldly, turned around and left the villa.

Obviously, he didn't come to discuss the divorce with Valerie, but just to inform her.

That night, the servants who usually didn't have a good face for Valerie became even more arrogant when they knew that

Valerie was forced to divorce. They threw her luggage out of the villa directly.

"You woman, you have sucked the blood of Joule Family for four years, and finally you are kicked out, you deserve it!"

In the chilly night, Valerie squatted on the ground to pick up her scattered clothes, looking extremely embarrassed.

At this time, the sound of a car stopping came from behind, and a tall woman got out of the car.

"Ms Walkley, you are finally here, must you have had a hard time on the road?"

The servant who had

just yelled at Valerie came forward to help the woman carry her luggage. Odelia Walkley raised her chin and didn't even look at her: "Be gentle, my things are very expensive, you can't afford to pay if they are broken."

Valerie's body froze and she understood instantly.
