“A good dog doesn’t block the path.”
“...”
Adrian remained perfectly still.
Isabel couldn’t get past him. Knowing he was annoyed by her earlier sarcasm, she suppressed her anger and said, “Excuse me, Mr. Blackwell. Could you please move?”
Only then did Adrian turn and leave the kitchen.
Isabel immediately hurried out, walking quickly toward old Mrs. Blackwell’s room.
Adrian was about to follow her when his phone rang.
It was Daniel. “Mr. Blackwell, your mother has gone to the courthouse to file for divorce on your and Mrs. Blackwell’s behalf.”

Mrs. Blackwell worked fast.
She had disliked Isabel from the beginning.
Isabel’s act of forcing the marriage had only solidified her contempt.
And now, Isabel was constantly defying her, acting as if the Blackwell family owed her something.
Therefore, she wanted to expel Isabel from the Blackwell family immediately, to sever all ties.
Just as the official was about to apply the final seal to the divorce certificates, a hand reached out and took them.
“Hey! Who do you think you are?”
Mrs. Blackwell turned, fuming. “Do you have any idea who I—”
She stopped short when she saw Adrian’s face. “Adrian, you...”
But she quickly composed herself, a smile spreading across her face. “Adrian, you’re always so busy. Just leave this little thing to me. I’ll make sure it’s done right.”
Adrian handed the two certificates to Daniel, who was standing beside him. Then he picked up the completed forms from the desk, along with the divorce agreement between him and Isabel.
It was a new agreement.
She was to leave with nothing and waive her custody rights.
Isabel’s signature was at the bottom.
