Chapter 234
The news of Ferris’s car accident resulting in blindness couldn’t be hidden for long. A few days later, major media outlets reported it one after another.
Silver Moon pack remained stable under Ferris’s subordinates‘ control withot any major disturbances, but Vargan Group’s stock plummeted.
For a while, people were in panic.
Chandler, despite his advanced age, had no choice but to come forward to take charge of the situation.
When Cynthia arrived, I was cutting fruit.
She sat on the sofa, looking at the scrolling headlines on the TV news, and sigh: “I never would have imagined that just a few days ago he was 30 spirited, and now he’s become blind. What will Silver Moon Pack do next?”
I didn’t respond, just placed the fruit in front of her.
“Cynthia, how is the progress on
refiling for divorce that I asked you to handle?”
Her expression immediately changed, and she hesitated for a long while before speaking: “Aurora… I’m sorry.”
My hand paused. “What happened?”
“Your divorce from Ferris caused such a big stir and made the news a few days ago. My father saw it.” She sighed. “Ever since he found out I get a job, he’s been trying to force me to marry into a noble family… This time he simply had someone revoke my lawyer’s license directly.”
I was stunned.
“How could he do that?”
Cynthia smiled bitterly: “You think that’s harsh? He wishes he could package me up and send me over right now. For him, this kind of method is considered mild.”
I knew her family had risen through real estate, and what nouveau riche families feared most was falling back into poverty.
Her father had suffered greatly in his youth, so what he valued most now was stability“-he didn’t care if his daughter was happy, only that she married securely into the wealthy elite, never returning to those days of having no status, no money, and no respect.
“So what are you planning to do now?” I asked.
She blinked, smiling somewhat defiantly: “I found another job. The salary isn’t much for now, but if I’m frugal, it’s enough.”
She didn’t want to compromise.
I felt sorry for her, but also knew that saying more wouldn’t help.
“If you need me to step in or help you handle anything, just tell me.”
“Alright.” A hint of moisture flashed in her eyes, but she didn’t let it fall.
I was just about to suggest a new lawyer for her when, before she could speak my phone rang.
I answered–it was Victoria.
“Ferris asked me to tell you that you don’t need to file for divorce anymore. He agrees. Tomorrow at ten o’clock, see you in court.”
Her tone was as arrogant and decisive as always. After speaking, she hung up
I was stunned for a moment.

Ferris had actually agreed.
I put down the phone and told Cynthia about this.
Her eyes widened: “Did losing his memory change his personality?”
“His personality has indeed… changed somewhat,” I said quietly.
Images flashed through my mind again of him at the hospital, holding my hand and hoarsely begging me not to leave, calling me “baby.”
His voice had been deep then, his fingertips trembling slightly, each “baby” like ashes falling on my heart, burning painfully.
I quickly shook my head, driving those images from my mind.
The next morning, I got up very early.
I barely ate breakfast, but still methodically prepared myself, layering one piece of clothing after another, wrapping myself in a heavy coat before going out.
Dane was waiting for me downstairs. He opened the car door for me, I got in, and we rode in silence the entire way.
When we arrived at the courthouse, we were still half an hour early.
