Married to My Enemy's Blood novel Chapter 9

“Mr. Reynolds, she will soon no longer be your wife.”

Augustus grew even angrier and snapped, “You’re just a lawyer. In all of New York, I don’t see anyone daring to take on my and Ophelia’s divorce case.

The lawyer, however, simply handed over his business card.

“Mr. Reynolds, I forgot to introduce Ms. Flynn’s situation, and I also forgot to introduce myself.”

Augustus looked at the line of words on the business card.

For someone in scientific research, he knew all too well the weight those words carried.

That was a top–level research team; everyone in there belonged to the nation.

Even more so… this person could finalize his and Ophelia’s divorce without his consent.

“She… where did she go?”

“Ms. Flynn will no longer belong to anyone. She belongs only to the ocean!”

Augustus’s whole body was trembling.

Thirty years, that place–one could only come out after thirty years.

How could she bear it, how could she do this.

Augustus tore the divorce agreement to shreds in a fit of rage.

The lawyer watched this scene, unmoved.

He stood up.

“I understand Mr. Reynolds’s intentions. Today, I will finalize the divorce certificate for Mr. Reynolds and Ms. Flynn. From now on, Ms. Flynn will have nothing to do with you.”

The lawyer turned to leave.

But Augustus blocked the lawyer’s way.

His

eyes were filled with malice.

“The country can’t take away my wife and my son. They are both mine.”

The lawyer replied, “Mr. Reynolds, Ms. Flynn went voluntarily. No one forced her. As for son, after you nearly killed him for another woman, legally, Ms. Flynn could sue you for attempted filicide. Just for that, you will never get custody of Julian.”

The lawyer left.

Augustus collapsed onto the floor.

With a loud bang, the whole room echoed with the sound.

Augustus had a dream.

He dreamed of the first time he met Ophelia.

She sat quietly to the side like an ugly duckling.

And he sat in his chair.

Ophelia stole a glance at him.

Even now, he remembered, through those thick glasses.

He saw the surprise in Ophelia’s eyes.

Yes, Ophelia liked his face.

From then on, every class, Ophelia would sneak glances at him.

He enjoyed the attention of her gaze.

The first gift she gave him was a blue ocean pendant.

She timidly reached out her hand.

“I–I know today is your birthday. This is my favorite. I want to give it to you.”

At that time, Augustus never realized that, in that moment, Ophelia had given him all her dreams.

He became her dream.

For the past ten years, she had always revolved around him.

But now, Ophelia had left him to pursue the dream she had delayed for ten years,

Augustus was in unbearable pain.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Kimberly.

“Augustus, you’re finally awake.”

Kimberly was about to throw herself into his arms.

But Augustus gripped Kimberly’s shoulders and pulled the two of them apart.

“Kimberly. I’ll have someone send you abroad. From today on, we’re breaking up. Whatever you’re owed, you’ll get.”

Kimberly’s face turned deathly pale.

She asked anxiously, “Augustus, what do you mean?”

Augustus’s eyes were full of indifference; there was no trace of affection for Kimberly left.

“Kimberly, I love Ophelia. Ophelia and I have Jules. I could never give them

up

for you.”

Kimberly immediately covered her belly with her hand.

“Augustus, I have your baby too. We’ll have a child as well.”

Augustus’s eyes grew darker and darker.

“The child can’t be kept.”

When Kimberly heard this, she suddenly sprang up.

She cried, “Augustus, you said you wanted me to give you a daughter, a daughter like mine, and now you say you don’t want us?”

A trace of guilt flashed in Augustus’s eyes.

But the moment he thought of Ophelia, even that trace of guilt vanished.

“Kimberly, leave.”

Kimberly left in tears.

A beep sounded.
