“Chloe, that’s enough. Divorce–it’s all you talk about anymore. You need to understand this isn’t some kind of game.”

“You think I’m playing games?” Chloe’s gaze turned glacial. “I have never been more serious about anything in my life.”

“Chloe, know your position. Ever since you were brought here from the countryside, you’ve been completely dependent on the Myers family. What skills do you actually possess? If you take Robert and leave, how do you plan to support yourself? How will you raise our son? He’s my son, a member of the Myers family. I won’t allow you to make irresponsible decisions like this.”

“The moment Mom decided on divorce, I ceased to be a Myers.” Robert declared with surprising firmness, despite his casual tone.

“You…” Arthur stared at his son, stunned by the conviction in his voice. When had the boy become so sharp–tongued, so much like Chloe?

This was undoubtedly Chloe’s influence!

Robert used to be such a compliant child. What had happened to him?

“Arthur, please don’t take your anger out on the child. I’m perfectly fine, really. It was entirely my own clumsiness–being so frail that I stumbled. This has nothing to do with Chloe,” Jennifer spoke softly, her head bowed in that characteristically pitiful manner.

Arthur’s frustration only intensified. His fists clenched as he directed a look of pure disgust toward Chloe and Robert.

“Chloe, your behavior today… you’ve gone too far.” His breathing grew noticeably heavier.

To be perfectly honest, Arthur was becoming utterly repulsive in Chloe’s eyes!

If they hadn’t been in a public setting, she might have considered physically teaching him a lesson about

consequences.

Chloe met Arthur’s gaze with an icy stare. “Arthur, don’t flatter yourself. I’ve already moved on from you. You and your true love can do whatever you please–just don’t come looking for trouble. As you said, I’m just a crude woman. If you provoke me again, I won’t hesitate to respond accordingly.”

“You…” Arthur’s hand twitched with the impulse to strike, but Jennifer quickly intercepted his arm.

“Arthur, please control your temper. Don’t let this situation escalate because of me. Let’s just leave, alright?” Jennifer whispered, her voice barely audible.

Arthur looked from Jennifer’s delicate, vulnerable features to Chloe’s stubborn, defiant expression, and his annoyance deepened.

“Chloe, I’ll say this one final time. Take Robert and return to Myers Manor. I’m willing to overlook

everything that’s happened today. Otherwise… I’ll actually sign those papers.” Arthur was seething internally. When had Chloe become so unreasonable?

If she had been seeking his attention, she certainly had it now. But all he felt was profound disappointment and anger.

Ever since coming to the city, Chloe had lived a sheltered life under the Myers family’s protection. What practical skills did she possess? Beyond being nominally a Lewis, what did she really have? Even within her own family, only Carolyn Lewis received genuine affection. Chloe was practically invisible.

For all these years, he had been her security, her refuge. She had always been so compliant and understanding. But now…

If she continued down this path, and he withdrew the Myers family’s protection, she would be utterly lost in this city.

He had expected her to reconsider after his warning, perhaps to quietly take Robert home. Instead, Chloe pulled out her phone right in front of him and placed a call.

“It’s me, Zachary. Bring the divorce papers to Eve Restaurant immediately. Yes, right now. And don’t forget to bring a pen.”

Arthur was speechless.

After ending the call, Chloe raised a challenging eyebrow at Arthur. “Arthur, you were the one who said you’d sign. I’m having my lawyer bring the documents now. If you refuse, you’re nothing but a liar.”

Liar!

Arthur’s composure shattered completely. Even the surrounding diners, though trying to appear discreet, could clearly grasp the situation.
