Chapter 8 Oliver's mind went completely blank . It took him a long moment to finally process what he'd just heard . " She quit ? When did she quit ? Why didn't I know about this ? " he demanded . Maxwell explained , " Ms. Evans submitted her resignation to HR , and you actually signed off on it . She handed off all her work before she left yesterday and told me the papers would be on your dining table . Maybe you should go check ? " Before Maxwell could finish , Oliver was already rushing downstairs . He spotted the two documents on the table immediately . The words " Divorce Agreement " stabbed him right in the eyes . He'd always treated Julia as a stand - in , but he'd never actually considered divorcing her . Even if he refused to admit it , something had taken root in his heart for Julia after all these years together . He had never imagined she would be the one to leave him first . It felt like someone had wrapped a giant hand around his chest , squeezing so tight he could hardly breathe . " Mr. Miller , are you alright ? " On the other end of the line , Maxwell asked carefully atoptechain Healy , in " Oliver took a shaky breath . His eyes were red as he stared at the divorce agreement . " Find her . Find out where she is right Er now . Sensing his mood , Maxwell didn't dare say anything more . " Yes , Mr. Miller . I'll get on it ." After the call ended , Oliver slumped in his seat , as if all the strength had drained from his body . No wonder there had been that flash of sadness in Julia's eyes when he signed the papers . She'd planned this all along . She mentioned a wedding that night . Could she really be getting married ? The thought only lingered for a second before he dismissed it . As Oliver was mulling everything over , Emily came up behind him without him noticing . Julia was leaving because she was disappointed . She had never been involved with another man in all these years . There was no way marriage so quickly . she would rush into me ! " " she " Oliver , the internet is full of people bashing me right now . If this keeps up , my career is finished . I can't handle the pressure . You have to help pleaded . If it had been before , Oliver would have helped her without hesitation . But after Julia left , he realized he didn't care about Emily as much as he once thought . Maybe it was just because he couldn't have Emily back then , so he became fixated on her . But now , he realized the woman he truly loved was Julia . He paused for a moment and said , " Emily , this was your fault . The sketches have been exposed , and no one's stupid enough to believe the excuses anymore . Instead of trying to lie your way out , just tell the truth . I'll get the best PR team to help with the backlash . After a while , people will forget about it . " Emily glared at him , and her brow furrowed . " Oliver , if I admit to plagiarism , I'll be finished in our circle . All those heiresses will look down on me . You know I can't bear that kind of humiliation ! " In the past , Oliver might have felt sorry for her , but not anymore . " And you think Julia could handle it ? Everyone makes mistakes , but when you do , you have to own up to them . " Honestly , you've changed , Emily . You used to be kind and sincere . You would never have stolen someone else's work and let them take the blame . What exactly did you learn during those years abroad ? " He looked at her with disappointment plain in his eyes . Emily stared at him , stunned , unable to believe those words were coming out of Oliver's mouth . Her eyes were red as she demanded , " Oliver , do you not love me anymore ? Did you fall for Julia ? "
