Chapter 697: Chapter 697: He Will Take the Initiative to Divorce Me

What kind of monster is he, who only knows how to bully women?

“I won’t suffer from his bullying for long.” Ann Nolan smiled, a bitterness lingering in her smile.

“What?” Jasmine Yale didn’t quite get it.

She took a bite of her noodles, tilting her head to look at Ann.

Under the crystal chandelier, Ann looked particularly beautiful, possessing a unique elegance.

“I’ve already found a lawyer, working on the divorce.” Ann said calmly, “Even though he refuses to sign the papers, as long as I have evidence of his infidelity, it won’t be an issue.”

“He won’t sign the papers? Because of the Santos Group?”

“Yes, he hasn’t secured the Group yet. Even though he and I managed to make Grandfather Santos very happy, grandfather isn’t a pushover, why would he hand over the Group to Zaiden easily, especially when he has another excellent grandson studying in UT.”

“Then, he probably won’t sign the papers easily.” Jasmine frowned.

She didn’t understand much about these matters, but she could guess the gist of it.

Zaiden married Ann initially just for the Group, wouldn’t it be a waste if they divorce?

It seems, Ann might not find her freedom easily.

“I am not in a rush, he surely wouldn’t let Harper suffer for too long. There will be a day when he initiates the divorce voluntarily.” Ann sighed and said, “Jasmine, you have no idea how much he loves Harper.”

The living room slowly filled with Ann’s voice – a delicate, prolonged tone filled the room.

“It’s really hard to buy soymilk from Lean Brand, yet he is willing to wake up early for Harper, even wait in line.”

As Ann talked about this, there wasn’t much expression on her face, just an air of quiet helplessness.

That helplessness filled her eyes, turning into a gentle stream that flowed away quietly.

Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, as the light in her eyes shattered piece by piece.

Jasmine’s heart trembled slightly.

She looked at Ann sympathetically, feeling heartache for her.

“You know about all this?” Jasmine asked.

“I know everything, he never pretends in front of me.” Ann’s smile was even more helpless.

Landon’s winters were so cold, yet just a single call from Harper could get Zaiden out of bed to buy whatever she wanted.

Even though he was sleeping with Ann, his heart was tied to Harper.

Jasmine felt even more heartache for Ann.

Zaiden was so despicable, he wasn’t even willing to pretend in front of Ann?

Did he just like tormenting Ann?

Ann bowed her head to eat her noodles.

Saying all of this out loud to Jasmine today, her heart felt much lighter.

Keeping all of it bottled up for so long felt like a heavy rock on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

Perhaps due to having many smooth years, a Zaiden Santos was sent by God to torment her.

“Ann, don’t be sad, things will get better in the future.” Jasmine consoled her.

“I’m okay.” Ann looked at her, “Do you like the noodles?”

“They’re delicious.”

Jasmine was impressed by Ann’s cooking skills, why were the noodles she prepared… so awful.

Jasmine was hungry, having finished nearly half a bowl.

It was delicious.

“Ann, if you’re upset in the future, you can always come find me here, that way I get to eat your noodles more often.” Jasmine laughed.

“As long as you don’t mind the trouble I bring.” Ann chatted while eating her noodles, “The ring on your finger… Did Mr. Cheney give it to you?”

“Ah.” Jasmine instinctively covered her hand, nodded, “Yes, he gave it to me.”

Sylvan Cheney insisted she wears it, and the ring was too conspicuous, so anyone who saw her would ask about it.

“Did he propose to you?” Ann giggled as she asked.
