---- don't deserve my daughter! Tomorrow is Irene's wedding. Don't forget to come celebrate." Simon's face drained of color instantly. Flustered, he scrambled to pick up the papers. When he saw the words "Divorce Agreement", his eyes suddenly reddened. "No way!" he roared. "Irene loves me so much. How could she divorce me over something like this? Besides, she needs my consent to get a divorce..." Halfway through his words, he broke into a nervous laugh and tore the papers to bits. "She's just mad at me. Without my signature, this marriage still stands." I stepped out from behind my father, my gaze cold and steady as I looked at him. "The divorce was handled legally with Mrs. Natalie's help. All the paperwork is in order and ---- registered at the clerk's office. You kicked out the people who went to deliver the agreement to you, but now, consider this your official notice." The crowd around us gasped at my words. I raised my voice and looked around at everyone. "All of you serve as witnesses when I say that Simon and [ are officially divorced. From now on, we will move on with our lives and are free to marry whomever we please." Simon's expression went from surprised to gloomy as he rushed forward recklessly. "Please let me explain-" He reached out to grab me, but the bodyguards stepped in, pushing him down the steps without mercy. I looked down at him and smiled faintly. "Tt's over between us." ---- That day, Simon stubbornly refused to leave our doorstep. My father finally had him tied up and sent back to the Barkers.
