"We're not even officially divorced yet, and she is so eager.
The share market is too hot, too much for me to handle, I never intended to keep it.
However, I don't want to give Bianca what she wants so soon. I frowned slightly, "In what capacity are you questioning me?"
Bianca laughed lightly, his attitude decadently superior,
"You couldn't possibly be thinking of monopolizing the shares, right?
They were given by Richard to his wife, once you get divorced, they are no longer yours!"
"Still haven't seen a doctor, have you?" I asked in a seemingly confused manner, "It's better to get treated soon, otherwise when it gets to the point that even medication doesn't help, you'll be sent to the Hexagon Pavilion."
She squinted her eyes, "Sophia, are you saying I am crazy?!"
Not bothering to argue with her, I asked flatly, "You've received my resignation application, right? Approve it as soon as possible."
"Do I even need you to mention it? I submitted it to Human Resources last night."
She couldn't wait for me to leave today.
I didn't carry on the conversation, went straight to sit down at my desk, starting to tidy up what needs to be handed over.
Richard probably also hopes I leave as soon as possible. Resignation, probably would happen in these couple of days.
Seeing my indifference, Bianca became annoyed, "No matter what, you have to return the shares, don't be unashamedly shameless!"
Just when Ella came in to bring me coffee, without raising my head, I instructed, "Please show Director Lincoln out."
In front of others, Bianca held her temper, no matter how angry she might be.
That didn't last for long, however.
I soon heard the sounds of things being thrown around in her office. ... Surprisingly, the process of drafting my divorce agreement had been completed by my lawyer before my resignation was approved.
When I was preparing to get Richard to sign the divorce agreement, Ella charged in.
"Older sister, gossip time!" She secretly closed the door, "I heard that the director arrived!
He was in the President's office, giving President Richard quite a scolding!
To think that even someone like President Richard would get scolded!"
"But, don't you think it's strange? President Richard is such an outstanding man.
Nothing went wrong with the company recently.
Then why would..." Hearing her words, I felt a little down.
It appeared that Grandpa Lincoln was likely aware of our impending divorce.
I had planned to finish the divorce proceedings and then find the right time to reveal everything to him.
Unfortunately, there was no way to keep it hidden.
I didn't want to involve myself, but considering Grandpa's health, I reluctantly held the divorce agreement and entered the elevator.
The elevator went straight to the top floor, and as I got closer, I could hear the faint sound of yelling from the President's office.
The staff knew the temper of President Richard very well. Plus, with John standing guard outside the office, everyone maintained a low profile and focused on their work.
I fear to intrude at this time. "Ms, Sophia!" When he sees me approaching, John lowers his voice as if he's seen his savior, "Finally, you've arrived.
Please go in and persuade the elder as soon as possible."
"Sure."
Nodding, just as I'm about to open the door, a hasty and cold sound from Richard resonates.
"Grandpa, what else do you want me to do? You told me to marry her and I did.
You told me to treat her well and now everyone knows how well I treat her.
You told me to transfer the shares that Mother left to her, and without a second word, I moved them into her hands - haven't I been obedient to your words all these years?!"
"So, it's all my fault? You should examine your heart, don't you have a trace of sentiment for Sophia..."
"Exactly! When can you stop interfering in my life?!"
As a clear response reaches my ears, my head buzzes and my body slightly wavers.
The harmonious facade of our marriage for the past three years was all because he reluctantly complied with his grandfather's demands?
The shares that he gave me were not transferred willingly… Sophia.
You really don't mean anything to him.
Suddenly! "Grandpa!" From within the office, uneasiness emerges as Richard raises his voice.
I snapped back to reality, not caring about anything else, I pushed the door open with force, only to see Grandpa Lincoln clutching his chest, breathing heavily.
His old ailment was acting up again.
"Help Grandpa sit down."
I strode in quickly, helping Grandpa Lincoln sit down with Richard, then smoothly pulled out medication from the inside pocket of his overcoat,
"Warm water."
While giving instructions to Richard, I fed two pills into Grandpa's mouth.
Richard was taken by surprise,
"How did you know where Grandpa's medicine is?"
"You've missed out on a lot of things."
For example, the person I like is obviously you, and yet you're oblivious.
Soon after, Grandpa Lincoln's complexion eased a bit.
"Grandpa, are you alright? Should we get a doctor to see you?"
I asked in a whisper. Grandpa gestured his refusal, patting my hand lightly.
Once he had recovered a little more, he stared at Richard with cold eyes: "Don't even dream about divorce. is my personal choice for you, I couldn't be wrong!"
Richard glanced at me, "I'm not the one who brought up the divorce, why are you angry at me?"
"She proposed it?" Grandpa asked.
"Grandpa, I was the one who brought it up."
I said. Grandpa Lincoln raised his hand and slapped Richard's shoulder harshly, shouting,
"What wrong deed have you done now?!!
This girl with such a good temper, who is wholeheartedly devoted to you, even though she was mad enough to propose a divorce, don't you need to reflect?
Let me tell you, the only granddaughter-in-law I recognize is Sophia, don't even think about bringing any Tom, Dick, or Harry into the house!"
" Richard stunned and speechless, he looked at me in disbelief, "What did you feed the old man?"
"Such insensitive words."
Our grumpy grandfather glared at him,
"Do you know who took care of me when I was sick just after your wedding and you were dealing with the corporation's affairs?
Who was running around in the hospital?"
"Isn't it my father?"
"Hmmph, you know very well whether your father is a dutiful son or not! It's easier for me to rely on a bunch of servants.
But the servants... where's the tenderness of Sophia?"
Dad coldly said, "The doctor said I could only eat fluid food.
Although she didn't know how to cook, she was always making different menus for the kitchen, to the point even the nutritionist praised her!
The doctor asked me to sunbathe daily, she knew I wouldn't listen to the servants, she would regularly come to the hospital and forcibly push me downstairs to sunbathe! Even after I was discharged, she often returned to the old house to visit me.
Why do you think she knows where my medicine is kept? It's all arranged by her, she always has the servants prepare my medication in my pocket."
Richard pursed his thin lips and turned his attention to me,
"Why didn't you mention this to me?" ... How could I bring it up? Back when we just got married, we were even more unfamiliar than strangers.
I didn't know where he went every day, he didn't care about me, we barely saw each other in a week.
Moreover, I took care of Grandfather because he treated me well, I had no intention of earning credit for it.
Grandfather Lincoln took a sip of warm water and patiently asked me: "Sophia, are you really determined to divorce this lad?"
"Grandfather..." I started but hesitated, I was afraid that Grandpa would get excited and have a relapse.
Granpa just looked at me gently,
"Just tell your grandpa, do you still love him?"
