Chapter 1 — Divorce
Jordy didn't come back until the food was cold.
"Pa!"
He threw some divorce papers to Gloria.
"Your cousin is already awake. I promised her that as long as she was alive, I wouldn't marry any other woman."
"Gloria, sign it. I want a divorce."
Gloria had expected this since her cousin woke up.
She raised her eyes and said in a stiff voice, "You still don't believe me?"
Jordy sneered, "You are such a vain woman. Why would I believe you?"
"Gloria, don't make me repeat it. Sign it. I will give this villa to you. Don't lose your dignity!"
Heh...
A mocking look flashed across Gloria's eyes.
He didn't force her to give up all their joint property. So, he thought he was kind enough to her?
She picked up the divorce papers he threw to her. He had signed his name.
Gloria's throat felt tight and her eyes stung.
But soon she regained her composure and looked up at him, "Will grandma agree?"
"You think she will back you up all your life?" Jordy looked at her with cold eyes, "You know why we got married better than I do. Gloria, don't be greedy. It will only make me hate you more."
Gloria sneered, "You already hate me enough, don't you?"
Jordy's expression was extremely stern, "Gloria!"
Gloria picked up the pen and said, "Fine, I'll sign it."
After her cousin woke up, she sent her countless intimate photos of her and Jordy. They were crazy about each other. What was the point of holding onto this failed marriage?
Gloria easily crossed out the villa he gave her and signed her name without any hesitation.
Their three-year marriage finally ended here.
From then on, she was free.
Gloria handed him the divorce papers and said in a calm voice, "I'll pack up and leave in an hour."
Jordy frowned, pursed his lips tightly, and stared at her, "You don't have to leave. Just take the villa."
"No, I think any place you live..." Gloria chuckled and said word by word, "Is disgusting."
"Gloria!"
Gloria was servile and submissive, but at this time, she ignored Jordy who was angry behind her, and pushed him out of the room.
An hour later.
Gloria went downstairs. Jordy was already gone. She suddenly looked at the Casio men's watch in her hand.
She specially prepared it as a gift for his coming birthday. At this time, she only found it offending to the eye.
Pia!
She threw the million-dollar watch into the garbage can without hesitation.
She took a light breath. Maybe the past three years were only a dream!
From now on, she would only live for herself!
After leaving the villa, Gloria hailed a taxi and went directly to her own villa.
She bought the villa several years ago, but she never came back here because she lived in the Collins' mansion.
Her sudden appearance shocked the servants. They quickly stood in a row and respectfully greeted her in unison, "Good morning, Mrs. Collins!"
Gloria put down her luggage, sat down on the sofa, rubbed her eyebrows and corrected them, "There will be no Mrs. Collins but only Miss White."
She once felt proud when she was called Mrs. Collins but she only felt that it was ironic now.
The servants didn't dare to ask why but respectfully retreated.
Back in her room, Gloria called her assistant Irene, "How are you doing recently?"
Irene was surprised, "You actually call me? What a turn-up!"
"I'm divorced. You were right. I will focus on my career in the future."
"What?" Irene was shocked.
"Did I hear that right? In the past three years, all your attention was on your husband and you even gave up your job and became a full-time wife. What's wrong with you? You actually want a divorce? Are you kidding me?"
Irene was Gloria's assistant. Except for her and several people around Gloria, no one knew that Gloria had another identity. That was...
The Trump Lawyer Norma!
There was a popular saying on the Internet, Norma, the excellent lawyer of the elite lawyers.
Many lawyers would be terrified to hear her name.
Irene was still in shock, but Gloria continued, "Does anyone want to see me recently? Are there any interesting cases?"
Light flickered in Irene's eyes, and she said with regret, "Yes, there is one. The pay is very good, but no one dares to take it, and you... can't take it."
"Huh?" Gloria said in an indifferent tone, but she suddenly sounded a little interested.
Chapter 2 — Two Acquaintances
Irene and Gloria sat face to face in the coffee shop.
"You said that I couldn't take the case?" Gloria went to the sofa and sat down. Irene nodded regretfully. Gloria raised an eyebrow and said, "What is the case?"
"Well..."
Irene then told her the case. Gloria's fingers on her left lap moved, and a ray of black light flickered in her almond eyes, "It's interesting. Who are the two parties?"
"You don't have to know..."
Gloria looked up at Irene curiously.
"The two parties are both leading figures in the business world. The thing is complicated and they fell out in the end. The person who wants your help is Mr. Brown and his opponent is your..."
Irene sighed and said with heartache, "Your husband!"
Gloria's breathing quickened for a second.
Irene clenched her chest and said with a sad look, "We are meant to miss such a large sum of money. What a misfortune!"
Gloria was fiddling with her mobile phone silently, thinking about something.
Irene thought she was sad. She comforted her while having a heartache, "Oh, come on. If you come back to work, you'll earn money easily with your fame! And you've really divorced Jordy?"
Gloria smiled, "Only without him my life would be my own life."
Looking at Gloria's serious eyes, Irene felt relieved after getting over the shock, "You finally got smart! You sacrificed so much for that jerk, but he didn't cherish you. You leave him. You are out of your predicament. Great! I really want to congratulate you!"
While they were talking, they found that two familiar figures came into the cafe shop. Gloria's face darkened instantly.
The man was dressed in a black suit, and his silver cufflinks were shining coldly in the light, just like him.
The woman beside him was in a white dress, black-haired and lovable. It was Angela White.
Gloria sneered inwardly. They just decided to divorce and then he was here shopping with his mistress.
Irene followed Gloria's line of sight, and then she turned sullen, "Why are they here?"
Maybe her voice was a little high and excited. Jordy noticed it, turned around, and saw them. His expression turned stern in an instant.
He was wondering why Gloria signed the divorce papers without hesitation and even refused the villa. However, she appeared in front of him again. So, she was playing hard to get?
Gloria looked at him, then looked away with a cold face and pulled Irene to get up and leave.
But an extremely sweet voice sounded, "Gloria, you are also here."
While saying that, Angela had come to them, with a gentle smile on her lips. She looked at Gloria with a smiling and kind face.
Gloria sneered inwardly. Who would have thought that this gentle and loveable woman secretly had sent countless intimate photos of her and Jordy to her this month?
Gloria said with a faint smile, "Angela, you were discharged from hospital so soon? You lay in the bed for three years, and you can walk so soon? What a miracle!"
Hearing this, people around all looked at Angela curiously.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Angela's face, but soon she calmed down and looked at Jordy with a sweet smile, "Thanks to Jordy's careful care over the past three years, I was awakened by his perseverance, so I recovered very quickly."
Gloria looked at Jordy with a smile, "I didn't know that my ex-husband can create a medical miracle! The medical profession will be promising with you!"
People who were curious looked at them and imagined what happened between them, winking at each other and whispering.
Ex-husband? So the woman in white dress was a mistress? And she was the ex-wife's cousin?"
"Oh my god, what a dramatic thing!"
"How could she be so arrogant in front of the ex-wife? What a shameless bitch!"
When Jordy heard these words, his expression suddenly turned cold, "Gloria, you've been pestering me for so long, and now you're playing such a trick? If you appear before me again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Gloria suppressed her anger and smiled, "Are you serious? What are you going to do?"
Chapter 3 — What Are You up to?
Light flickered in Angela's eyes when she saw this. She hurriedly looked at Jordy and said, "Jordy, don't be angry with Gloria. There must be some kind of misunderstanding between you two. I don't want you to be at odds for me."
Gloria looked at Angela with a mocking look. She never knew that Angela was so good at playacting. It was so disgusting.
Before Jordy spoke, she continued, "Jordy, Angela has long wanted to marry you. Why don't you just marry her to save her from sending those disgusting pictures to me?"
Angela's expression changed slightly when she heard this, and she immediately said, "Gloria, I've explained it to you many times that I wouldn't come between you and Jordy. It's just that Jordy felt indebted to me because I became a vegetable for saving him. Jordy and I had nothing to hide."
The look in Jordy's eyes was disgusted, "Don't waste your breath on her. Let's go."
Seeing that Jordy was leaving with Angela, Gloria reached out and stopped him, "Why don't we get the divorce licenses now so that we won't hinder each other from remarrying?"
Angela clenched her hand more tightly.
Jordy told her that they had divorced, but they hadn't got the divorce certificate yet?
She said seriously, "Gloria, there's nothing between me and Jordy. If you hate to see us together, I won't contact him anymore."
She turned her head, as if she were going to cry, "Jordy, I'm sorry that you two quarreled for me. I'm leaving. Just talk to her and soothe her. She'll be alright."
With that, she turned around and headed outside.
Jordy looked straight at Gloria's face with sharp eyes, "I'm not free now. My assistant will contact you. You get ready for the divorce."
With that, he got up and followed Angela out.
Irene stood in silence with a cold look, "Gloria! It's a right thing to divorce him. Such a jerk doesn't deserve you at all."
How could they put Norma through this?
It was their family affair, so she couldn't meddle in it. She wished she could beat Angela up!
What a pretentious bitch!
"Irene, you said that Jordy would have to pay tens of billions of dollars if he lost the lawsuit?"
Irene was still in her trance. She froze for an instant, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Gloria looked out of the window with quiet eyes, "Irene, contact Jonathan and get ready to start work."
Irene covered her mouth with shock, "You... hate Jordy now, and you want revenge?"
Gloria gave a cold smile, "No, business is business. I just like this case."
She always liked challenging cases.
And now that she was divorced, she didn't have to care about Jordy's feelings.
Irene asked with a confused look, "But why are you going to... help Jonathan? You were Jordy's wife and loved him so much. You did so many things for him..."
Gloria interrupted her in a slightly sad voice, "Yes, but now we're going to get a divorce."
"No kidding?"
"No," Gloria said in a firm voice, "Now that I have taken the case, I will take it seriously."
Irene nodded in doubt and suddenly thought of something, "You could participate in the trial remotely, but Jonathan wants to see you... Once he knows you are Jordy's wife, he probably wouldn't trust you.
"Don't worry, I can take care of this."
Irene nodded seeing her firm look, "OK, I'll take care of the rest. You know the person in charge of legal affairs on his side. It's your schoolmate, Micah Cooper. You'll have a smooth talk."
Irene found that Gloria seemed really different from before. She was glad for her and hurriedly took her arm.
"Gloria, come to my home. I'll cook. Let's celebrate that you are free again!"
They walked out of the coffee shop with a smile. Jordy nearby looked at them talking and laughing with a freezing aura!
Gloria, what were you up to?
After dinner at Irene's house, they chatted for a while, discussing the case, and Gloria went home.
As soon as Gloria returned to the villa, the servant came up to her, "Miss, we watched the monitor. It seems that you were followed when you came back."
