Bruce shot her a warning look and said, "No matter what it is, you can do it later. Being stared at by her superior, Adeline had no choice but to go with the crowd to see Brendan to the door. Standing aside, Brendan clearly heard what she had just said. Since he came in, she had been treating him like a stranger. Now she shunned him as if he were infested by the plague. Was he so terrible? . Now Brendan had to admit that Adeline was really different from before. As much as he hated to admit it, he felt upset. At the company gates, Brendan's driver was waiting for him in his Lamborghini. When the driver saw his boss approaching, he rushed over and opened the car door for him. Carefully blending in with the crowd, Adeline stayed down, hoping that she wouldn't attract anybody's attention. Brendan walked to the car and was about to get in, but suddenly, he turned around and swept his eyes over the crowd in front of him. He quickly spotted Adeline. "Get in the car, Adeline. Hearing what Brendan said, everyone around collectively gasped and turned to look at Adeline. From the looks on people's faces, it was obvious that they were wondering what was going on. Keeping her head down to hi de her bright red face, Ade line remained in her spot. She bit her lip and fla shed Brendan a death gl are. What did he want? . Alex knew what Brendan was thinking, so he winked at Bruce

Bruce soon understood that there must be a secret relationship between Brendan and Adeline. He was so cunning that he ran back to h is office faster than anyone else, and t he rest of his employees soon followed. Brendan's subo rdinates also slipped away. Before long, only Brend an and Adeline were lef t at the company gates. With nobody around, Adeline thought i t was pointless to keep pretending. S he looked at Brendan with cold eyes. "Why do you want me to get in t he car? Do you want to talk abou t our divorce? Have you signed t . he divorce settlement? If you're free now, we can g o ahead and finish the procedures. " She added firmly , "I have brought all the necessary papers with me. Adeline had made up her mind. Since she had decided to end her ma rriage with Brendan, she wouldn't tangle with him anymore. It was in their best interest to settle this matter as soon as possible. Their divorce wasn't final yet, and they still had to go through the legal process. As of the moment, Adeline was still technica lly Brendan's wife, and every minute of it was torture for her. Upon hearing what she said, Brendan's face immediately darkened. Did she have nothing else to talk about except the divorce? . "Are you ser ious about t he divorce?" . They had been married for three years. He had already be en used to her be ing by his side. He had thought that she was just trying to get his attention, but now it seeme d that she had been serious all along

"Yes. " Adeline scoffed. "What? Did you think I only threatened to end our marriage to trick you into liking me? Don't flatter yourself, Brendan. I already gave up three years of my life for you. I've had enough. Besides, divorce is the best course of action for us. After we split up, you can go pursue your own happiness, and I'll go pursue mine. We don't need to be involved in each other's lives anymore. "You. " All of a sudden, Brendan was speechless. With a cold face, Ad eline said, "Come on . Let's go to court. She knew their divor ce would be very eas y if Brendan agreed. She spoke in a determ ined tone. However, the nex t second, Brenda n's phone rang. The person calling was Robbi n McCoy, the butler at the e state of the Clemons family. Brendan picked up the phone and heard Robbin saying in haste, "Mr. Clemons, please co me to the hospital as soon as you can. Your grandfather passed out just now, and the d octor said he suffered a heart attack. He's being rushed to the hospital as we speak
