A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 150 Let’s Get a Divorce

Darlene pulled her hand back with a cold expression. Just as she was about to grab the phone on the bedside table,

Avery took the phone and placed it on the table beside him.

The door to the ward was tightly shut. Gustave had just gone out, and the doctor had just come to put her on a drip.

It was likely that no one would come over for a while.

Ever since the relapse of her depression, Darlene was afraid to face Avery, especially when they were so close.

She didn’t know why, but it was the rejection and fear deep down.

She gripped the bed sheet beneath her and tried her best to suppress the urge to retreat. She forced herself to

calm down and looked at him coldly.

“What are you trying to do? Is what just happened not enough?”

Avery sat down on the edge of the bed beside her and stared at her. “The reporters in the morning are not the first

to report these things.

“The relationship between you and Gustave was exposed on the Internet last night. Now that the Walpole Group has

had a public crisis, Gustave and you probably don’t know

yet.”

If they knew, Gustave wouldn’t have brought Darlene to the company in the morning.

Darlene gripped the sheets tightly.

She hated him so much. Many times, she couldn’t help but want to question him at the top of her lungs. What do

you want? What can make you satisfied and let me go?

But she endured it and didn’t want to show any emotions in front of him. Whether she

was angry or hateful, she didn’t want him to see it.

Her expression was so calm. She looked at him coldly. “And then? What do you want me to say? Say that you have

tried so hard. Congratulations on getting what you want. You have successfully earned sympathy in front of the

public?”

Avery did not believe that Darlene would not react. He only thought that she had not heard it clearly enough. He

continued in a low voice, “Gustave is now the CEO of the Walpole Group. The negative public opinions affected his

reputation and the Walpole Group’s reputation very soon.

“Therefore, Mr. Walpole, his father, had already made a preliminary decision. He

planned to help the Walpole Group’s vice CEO, Ricky Walpole, to replace Gustave as the new CEO in case the public

opinions would further affect the Walpole Group’s share price and other benefits.”

He could not control himself. He wanted to persuade Darlene to leave Gustave. “The cooperation that you have

discussed with Braylen is already invalid. Because the cooperation that I have terminated with the Walpole Group

has been restarted. This time, it is a contract signed with Ricky.

“His cousin, Ricky, had solved the trouble that Gustave caused, so the new president would soon become Ricky.”

Avery looked at Darlene with reddened eyes. He was tense and worried.

He was afraid that if he was not careful, his words would hurt Darlene.

Another voice constantly reminded him to tell Darlene all the advantages and disadvantages so that she would

definitely come back to him as she didn’t want to be at burden on Gustave anymore.

How could Avery really let her stay by another man’s side during the last period of her

life?

He couldn’t do it. Since he couldn’t force Darlene to stay by his side, he would let Darlene see clearly what the

consequences would be if Gustave took her away.

He wanted Darlene to understand and willingly return to his side.

He could stay with her to treat her illness and find a compatible heart for her. If she was dying, he could stay with

her until the last moment of her life.

But he couldn’t let her go.

If she left him, what was the point of giving in and compensating?

“We can explain it to the media. As for the Walpole Group replacing the president, it can’t be that simple.” Darlene

stared at him in disgust.

“I believe Mr. Walpole must have a way to solve it. In any case, I won’t go back to I have no other choice, then I’ll

die early…”

Avery interrupted her and asked in a deep voice, “There’s no point in saying these

you.

If

things out of spite. What can you explain to the media?

“We are still a legal couple. Just based on this, no matter how many reasons you have with Gustave, you can’t hide

the fact that you have an affair.

“Then we’ll divorce. I will soon sue you in court and divorce you.” Darlene did not hesitate for a moment. She

looked at him and said with certainty.

She reached for the bag by the bed and took out a divorce agreement.

“Avery, I have already prepared it. Sign it, and I will leave you without taking anything from you, or we will see each

other in court.

“If the court does not let us divorce, I will appeal for the second time. If we still can’t divorce, I will appeal for the

third time. As long as I don’t give up, and I volunteer to leave you without taking anything, we’ll divorce one day.”

Avery took the thing from her hand and looked at it with a gloomy face. It was really a

divorce agreement.

It had only been two days since she went to Gustave’s house, and she had prepared this. Now, she stopped

mentioning her grandmother and brother.

He held the document tightly in his hand, and his anger surged. He directly tore it in half and threw it to the side.

“Gustave taught you this? It seems that he really taught you a lot in the past two days, making you so determined

to cut off all ties with me.”

Darlene sneered and looked at the pile of pieces scattered on the ground. “It’s fine. I still

have a lot of copies.

“I have already decided to cut off all ties with you. You know best what we are like right now. I only have a few days

left. Let me be alone for the last period of time. Don’t get yourself involved.”

Avery held her shoulder tightly with one hand and stared at her. “Don’t even think about it. I won’t divorce you, let

alone let Gustave get what he wants.”

Darlene shifted her gaze to the side. She did not even bother to argue. “Up to you. After a few days, it will be

completed. If I am still alive, we will meet in court.

“If I was already dead, then consider it my bad luck. You can do whatever you want with

my corpse.”

Avery grabbed her shoulder with his palm. He wanted to grab her more tightly, but he realized that he had no

strength.

His heart was filled with powerlessness. He wanted to keep her, but now, he realized that no matter what method

he used, it was useless. He did not know what else he could

1. do.

“Darlene, I don’t want to force you anymore. I don’t want to do those things anymore.” He shook his head.

“Come back to me. I will take good care of your grandmother and your brother. I will take good care of you. As

long as you come back, nothing will happen to Gustave. The reports and the things that happened to the Walpole

Group will be stopped.”

Darlene looked at him with indifference in her eyes. “Avery, divorce or see me in court. Other than that, I don’t

want to say another word to you from now on.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she had already pressed the call bell as Avery didn’t

notice it.
