Chapter 11 Everyone in Imperialis knew just how deeply Marceline loved Curtis . Why was she asking for a divorce now ? " You must be joking . I wouldn't be surprised if you were the one who wanted a divorce , but Marcy ? Don't you know how much she loves you ?" Beatrice questioned . " Grandma , I don't want to talk about this . If she comes to you for your help with it , just turn her down . " " What exactly are you thinking ? " Curtis turned around , a cold smirk tugging at his lips . " We're meant to spend our whole lives tormenting each other . " Beatrice felt utterly defeated and simply waved him off . " Fine , do whatever you want . I clearly can't count on you to give me a great- grandchild anyway . " After entering the study , Curtis stared blankly at the documents on his desk . He had an important overseas meeting scheduled that night , but he couldn't even bring himself to turn on his computer . Soon , Ken entered to gently remind him about it . " Mr. Wolfe , the meeting starts in five minutes ." Curtis gave a distracted hum and finally turned on his computer , He e was usually strict with the overseas team , but that night , he didn't say a word . However , this only made everyone more nervous . After the meeting , someone even called Ken privately to ask if someone new was about to be sent in from the headquarters . Ken brushed it off with a vague response . He figured that Curtis ' current state probably had something to do with Marceline . After the meeting , Curtis didn't rest . Instead , he went out drinking . The private room was filled with familiar faces . They were all people he got along well with . With a raised glass , Nate abruptly chuckled . " I heard Marceline became a mistress and got into a fight with the man's wife . Is that true ? It seems like she's addicted to being the other woman Curtis ' gaze swept over him . With a sharp voice , he said , " Where'd you hear that ? " Jenna quickly piped up and said , " Nate , I made one offhand comment , and now you're twisting my words ? Marceline would never do something like that . It has to be a misunderstanding . " But she did get attacked . Curtis , did you check on her ? How bad is it ? " Someone sighed at how concerned she sounded . " Jenna , you're way too kind . If I were you , I'd have slapped her already . " Jenna ignored the comment , her eyes fixed intently on Curtis . " Did you go see her ? How is she ? " " I didn't go . " A flicker of joy crossed Jenna's eyes . She smiled faintly . " You should still check on her . After all , you're her husband . " " Do you want me to go ? " The room immediately erupted in hoots and teasing whistles when he said that . Blushing , Jenna gave everyone a glare . " Oh , grow up . Curtis and I always talk like this . We've known each other since before he was even brought back into the Wolfe family . He helped me back then too . " That much was true . She and Curtis had known each other for years . But back then , all he'd cared about was Marceline - though she was a thing of the past now Jenna might not know what had happened between them , but she knew she had to seize this chance Curtis ' question seemed to have been rhetorical , as after asking it , he ignored everyone . He stared at the glass in his hand in a daze . All of a sudden , a hand reached over . It was Nate's . Nate grinned . " So , are you really going through with the divorce ? We should congratulate you in advance for tinally cutting ties with that wicked woman " " Yeah . It's happening soon " Curtis leaned back and closed his eyes , looking somewhat out of it Nate kept talking " Because of her , things between you and Jenna were ruined . Poor Jenna has stayed single and has been waiting for you for three years now. If you do her wrong , you'd really be nothing short of unforgivable . " But Curtis said nothing in response , his Adam's apple only bobbing silently
