Chapter 77
After making sure the old lady was sound asleep, Cornelia took out her personal phone. As soon as
she turned it on, she saw several missed call notifications, all from Ryan
Cornela stepped out of the hospital room and called him back. The moment the call connected, she
heard Ryan’s frustrated voice, Ms Stewart, what the hell are you up to?”
Cornelia took a deep breath, composed herself, and replied. “Mr. Colwell, please tell Mr. Artis that I
can’t go through with the divorce right now”
Ryan yelled in anger. Ms. Stewart, we agreed on this! The divorce papers are signed, and we settled
on finalizing the divorce today Why are you backing out now?”
Cornelia responded. Tjust want to postpone the divorce, not cancel it altogether.”
Ryan questioned, “Why the delay?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCornela quickly explained. “My grandma is sick, and she’s been longing to see her grandson–in–law. If
I tell her I’m getting a divorce now, shell be devastated Once her condition stabilizes and she can
handle the news, well proceed with the divorce.”
Ryan snorted. “Ms Stewart, can we have some decency here? If your grandma wants to see her
grandson–in–law, just bring your boyfriend. Why does Mr. Artis have to be involved?”
“What boyfriend?” Cornelia said, only then remembering that she had impulsively claimed to have a
boyfriend while arguing with Ryan at the restaurant yesterday. It was like fretting in her
own grease
Ryan firmly believed that her grandma’s illness wasn’t the real reason Cornelia was reluctant to
divorce. He suspected that she might have found out about Jeremy’s true identity and wanted to get
more money out of him by stalling the divorce. “Just name your price!” he said.
Cornelia was taken aback, “What price?”
Ryan retorted, “What do you want? Don’t you know?”
Cornelia replied, “All I want is for my grandma to recover”
Ryan scoffed. “Do you really believe that? You don’t love him, so why are you being so stubborn?”
His arrogant and sarcastic tone irritated Cornelia, “Our marriage wasn’t built on love. What does it
matter if I love him or not?”
Ryan was infuriated by her response, “Just tell me how much money you want to get this dworce
done.”
“I don’t care about his money!” Cornelia fet frustrated talking to a lawyer for the first time and hung up
the phone.
She could make her own money. Who needed his?!
When they got married, it was just to please their grandparents. She had asked him if he wanted to
reconsider, but he never did. She thought that even though their marriage wasn’t based on love, they

But he disappeared after the registration and only reappeared when he wanted a divorce. And that was
when she was being treating like shit by her uncle and aunt. She didn’t need a husband like that!
Not knowing how to handle Cornelia, Ryan had no choice but to call Marcus again, “Marc, your wife is
really unreasonable. She’s done something scandalous, and now she’s lying about her grandma being
sick so she can delay the divorce. But don’t worry, this time I’ll make sure she“”
Marcus raised an eyebrow, “Her grandma is sick?”
Ryan confirmed, “That’s what she said.”
Marcus knew his grandma and that womans grandma were friends, and they both got married for their
grandmas sake. That woman might not have been cautious in her personal life. but she wouldn’t use
her grandma as an excuse
He said, “I transfer some money to her so she can take care of her grandma without any worries. As for
the divorce, well talk about it when her grandma gets better”
