Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 276

Emilia had known this day would come the moment she left that loophole in the contract.

That’s why she’d hired a lawyer well in advance.

Tyler’s signature was already on the divorce agreement.

If things went smoothly, all it would take was a standard company review.

Secretary Jensen took the photocopy of the agreement, an uneasy look on her face.

The original was still in Emilia’s possession.

Tyler had a copy as well, so there was no need to worry about forgery—Secretary Jensen could verify everything herself.

“Ma’am, this—”

Before Secretary Jensen could finish, the sharp click of high heels echoed down the hallway.

Chloe’s voice followed. “Secretary Jensen? Emilia? What are you two doing here?”

Secretary Jensen quickly tucked away the photocopy.

After that wine tasting event, Chloe had officially joined the Erickson Group—not in finance, but overseeing Cerulion affairs and assisting with her father’s side of the business.

Now, Chloe strode over, a folder in hand, stopping right in front of them.

“What’s going on?” she asked, first looking at Secretary Jensen, then turning to Emilia. “Tyler’s in the hospital—what are you doing here?”

Whether Tyler was sick or not had nothing to do with Emilia’s purpose. She’d planned this visit days ago, the lawyer had been arranged long beforehand.

Emilia had no interest in arguing with Chloe, nor did she want to get entangled in any drama. All she wanted was to quickly reclaim what belonged to the Dennis family.

She motioned for Secretary Jensen to step aside so they could speak in private.

“You’re not going anywhere!” Chloe blocked their path, glaring from Emilia to Secretary Jensen. “What are you two whispering about that you don’t want me to hear?”

Emilia met Chloe’s gaze. “There’s nothing secretive about this. I just want to separate my family’s assets from the Erickson Group.”

“Including that department?” Chloe shot back.

She turned to Secretary Jensen. “From now on, call me Emilia.”

Secretary Jensen hesitated, then nodded. “Yes, Miss Dennis.”

Chloe rolled her eyes.

“Such a drama queen,” she muttered under her breath.

Just then, Chloe’s call went through.

Tyler’s voice came over the speaker. “What is it?”

Chloe jumped in immediately. “Tyler, Emilia’s here trying to take that department with her. Did you know about this?”

There was silence on the other end.

Emilia stood there, watching Chloe hold her phone on speaker, waiting for Tyler’s answer.

The silence stretched for nearly ten seconds before Chloe, unable to hold back, urged, “Tyler?”
