After Divorce 46

Chapter 46 Official Divorce 

Curtis had even gifted the ruby necklace that Chloe had begged him to win from the auction–the one that Jenna had lost in a foreign country–to Sonya. 

If Sonya hadn’t tossed that ruby necklace to the floor, it would’ve been part of the jewelry collection here. 

“What is it, Curtis?” Sonya asked. 

Curtis quickly came back to his senses. He held up a ruby ring. “Let’s… Let’s pawn this first. Once Green Tech gains more revenue, I’ll buy it back from the pawn shop for you. I’ll even buy you a better one in the 

future.” 

Curtis‘ hand felt really warm as he clutched the ruby ring. The ring seemed to be burning his palm, as if it 

were a piece of molten metal. 

Curtis hadn’t fulfilled his promise of buying Chloe a better wedding ring. Yet he’d bought so many rings for 

Sonya. 

Even though Sonya had saved his life, Chloe was still his lawfully wedded wife. Chloe was the one who’d been by his side through thick and thin as he built his company up. 

Yet he’d given Chloe so very, very little. It was far less than she deserved. 

“Don’t worry about it.” Though Sonya felt immensely irritated, she still pretended to not mind on the surface. “You know I’m not too attached to such jewelry.” 

“Yeah. You’re someone who spends her time soaring high up in the sky. These pieces of jewelry are nothing more than decoration pieces for you,” Curtis said. 

Yet someone else surfaced in his mind instead of Sonya. He could see that person sitting in the cockpit, flying up into the clouds before doing complicated flight maneuvers mid–air. 

For some reason, the image of Chloe piloting a jet left a far deeper impression than Sonya did. 

“You don’t have to fret about the company’s situation. My mother’s family has quite an influence here. They have an island development project going on right now and are in need of a tech company, especially one that specializes in drones. You can try collaborating with them. I’ll lend you a hand too,” Sonya said. 

Curtis‘ eyes lit up with hope. 

There were too many tech companies in Corvessia, which made for very strong competition. If Curtis went to a bigger city, there would be much less industry competition. Green Tech could even monopolize the local market there. It would be a new but viable route to take. 

“Thank you, Sonya!” Curtis said gratefully. “Not only did you save me all those years ago, but you’ve even been helping me all this while.”

Sonya beamed at him and said, “There’s no need to thank me. I just really want to see you succeed.” 

Sonya was going to raise her standing in the Miller family. She would prove to them that Millers from her father’s line were more capable than her uncle’s! 

She wanted everyone who’d ever looked down on her to grovel before her feet! That was why she was going to help Curtis succeed! 

Because only then could she get everything she wanted. 

The next day, both Chloe and Curtis went to the city hall. They got their queue ticket before sitting in the waiting room. 

“I’ll transfer the 153 million dollars to you right now,” Curtis said. “What’s your bank account number?” 

Chloe told him the number, and Curtis swiftly transferred the money to her account. A hint of nostalgia welled up inside Chloe as she looked at the text message notifying her of the transaction. 

The 153 million dollars wasn’t just money; it was also the final symbol of love that her parents had for her. 

“I’m sorry,” Curtis muttered. “I didn’t know you sacrificed so much for me. If I’d known earlier…” 

“If you’d known earlier, would you have severed ties with Sonya? Would you have stopped buying so much expensive jewelry for her? 

“Or would you have acted objectively and locked your mother and sister in prison after those awful things 

they did to me in that hotel room so they can rightfully suffer the consequences of their actions?” 

Curtis was at a loss for words. 

Chloe sneered. “What’s the point of saying sorry now, hm? They’re nothing but words, aren’t they? I don’t 

need such an apology!” 

Curtis found himself too afraid to meet Chloe’s gaze right now. 

When their ticket number was called, they went to sit before the relevant staff member. The divorce 

procedure was straightforward enough and was quickly done with. 

Chloe and Curtis, respectively, received a divorce decree, which marked the end of their relationship. From now on, they had nothing to do with each other. 

Chloe smiled in relief as she gazed at the document in her hands. She was no longer Curtis‘ wife anymore, just plain old Chloe Quall. 

Right when Chloe was about to leave, Curtis finally called out, “Wait!” 

“How else can I help you, Mr. Green?” Chloe turned to face him. 

That form of address, ‘Mr. Green‘, felt like a slap to Curtis‘ face.

“I’ve never paid my respects to your parents. I know it’s a little late to do so, but can you please take me there so I can pay my respects?” 

Chloe burst into laughter, finding Curtis‘ suggestion hilarious. Curtis hadn’t once visited her parents‘ grave while they were married. Chloe had been repeatedly let down by his refusals during those days. 

Yet now that they had divorced, he’d suddenly had a change of heart? How priceless! 

“My parents don’t need anything from you, Curtis Green!” Chloe spat before turning and walking out of the city hall, not looking back even once. 

Lena was already waiting in her car outside the city hall. The moment Chloe got on, Lena took the urn 

from the front passenger seat and placed it in her lap. 

“Is it over?” Lena asked. 

“Yes. I’m officially divorced now.” Chloe held out the divorce decree for Lena to see. “From now on, Curtis 

and I have nothing to do with each other.” 

Chloe felt that she should be grateful that Curtis hadn’t slept with her even once throughout their three years of marriage. Because of that, they didn’t have any children. If they had, Chloe would have probably 

still been entangled with Curtis after the divorce. 

“Did he pay you the 153 million dollars?” Lena asked. 

“He did.” 

“At least he’s kept his word this once.” Lena was clearly still angry with Curtis. “Once you’re back from Yarfdale, we’ll go to church and do some cleansing! Marrying a man like Curtis was a terrible misfortune 

on your part.” 

Chloe chuckled and gently caressed the flag wrapped around the urn. “Let’s head to the airport.” 

She was going to take Jenna and Walter’s ashes back to Yarfdale, her parents‘ hometown. 

Jenna had been an orphan back when she was young. She was then adopted by the Quall family and later married Walter, her adopted parents‘ son. 

Chloe recalled how her parents had once said that if they ever died, they wanted their remains to be buried back at their hometown. That would be their final homecoming. 

That was why Chloe planned to have her parents‘ ashes buried at the national military cemetery in Yarfdale. 

Lena drove Chloe to the airport. 

“Why don’t you head on home first? I can board the plane myself,” Chloe said. 

“Aw, I’ll keep you company. There’s still some time before boarding, after all. I’ll drive home once you’ve boarded,” Lena replied. “You’re not going to stop me from seeing Mr. and Mrs. Quall off, are you?”

“Alright then.” 

Chloe and Lena then went into the airport. They sat in the waiting hall, as it wasn’t time to board the plane 

yet. 

Chloe gazed at the urn in her arms. Soon, she’d be taking her parents back home. 

Just then, a voice rang out from behind her. “Chloe Quall? What are you doing here?” Chloe looked up to see Sonya standing before her, dressed in her captain uniform.
