NovelStartChapter 243 "Katrina, I already told you this has nothing to do with Shirley." Carlisle lowered his voice, his face dark with anger. "Why do you always have to drag other people into our business? "And letremind you again-forget about the divorce. Stop causing trouble and just be Mrs. Zachman like you're supposed to, alright?" Katrina looked at him coldly. "Then, letremind you again as well. If you don't want to receive a subpoena, you'd better bringan answer soon. I'm running out of patience for this pointless conversation." Seeing how unyielding she was, Carlisle felt his anger flare even hotter, leaving him exhausted both physically and mentally.
But with outsiders present, he could only soften his tone to coax her. "Just go hfirst. Whatever it is, we'll talk when I get back." "There's nothing to talk about. I've said everything I needed to say. Callwhen you've made up your mind." With that, Katrina turned and walked straight toward the office door.
Since they were at work, Carlisle could only watch as she left. Looking at the mess strewn across the floor, he bent down to pick up the divorce papers.

Before Carlisle could stop her, Shirley caught sight of the contents of the divorce agreement. Her fingers tightened around the papers, her expression darkening for a split second before she quickly masked it. Then, she stood up and handed what she had picked up back to Carlisle as if nothing had happened. "Carlisle, is Katrina... really divorcing you?" Shirley asked cautiously.
She had seen everything clearly. Katrina, that shameless woman, had the audacity to demand half of Carlisle's assets.

After a brief hesitation, he instructed, "Katrina's probably in a bad mood lately. If she comes home, try to avoid her as much as possible. Don't upset her." Shirley's expression froze instantly. She looked at Carlisle in disbelief.
He was actually telling her to avoid Katrina when he used to always be on her side. He had never let her suffer even the slightest grievance before, but now, he was speaking up for Katrina? What kind of spell had Katrina cast on Carlisle? Why wouldn't he just divorce her already? She was back in his life now. Why was he still keeping that substitute around? Shirley nearly lost control, wanting to demand answers right then and there. Luckily, the last shred of rationality held her back, forcing her to swallow her words.
Now was definitely not the tto confront Carlisle. He had brought her back, but he had neve actually promised to marry her.

There was no way she was giving up the good life she had worked so hard to reclaim. Even if Carlisle really had started to develop feelings for Katrina, Shirley would never allow her to take everything away from her.
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Shirley forced a stiff smile and nodded in agreement.
"Alright. As long as it makes Katrina happy, I don't mind putting up with a little hardship. I just feel bad for you.
