Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Chapter 1 Finally A Divorce

"Sign it. After the divorce, I won't press any legal charges against you. I'll even give you two hundred million more and separate your studio for you to own independently. Then there's the one at the city center..." A deep, pleasing, yet chilling voice resonated. Isabella Jeannet couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand, preventing herself from bursting into laughter.

Reflected in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were numbers with many, many zeroes.

She carefully examined the divorce agreement, counting the zeroes.

The tall man sitting across the office desk had his handsome, noble brows furrowed. His eyes were as dark and glossy, radiating a cool hue. He watched as the trembling Isabella lowered her head and covered her mouth. The chill in his heart grew even colder.

If only Alexander Quirk had known what would happen back then, he would never have tolerated it from the start.

Isabella was a woman who was both pitiful and detestable in his eyes. Her parents had been lifelong friends with the Quirk family, but they passed away before she even came of age.

Due to a dying wish, the Quirk family took in Isabella. Unexpectedly, she repaid their kindness with treachery by scheming to become his wife.

After that, he never lived in peace. He was pursued relentlessly and harassed without reason. His life into a complete mess thanks to her.

Some time ago, she even stole company secrets and passed them to a rival corporation, causing them to lose a major project. That led to a wave of resentment throughout the entire company. To appease the board members, he had to divorce her.

"I've shown extreme benevolence and magnanimity. I hope you know when to stop." If it weren't for the sake of her deceased parents, Alexander wouldn't have shown her any mercy. Initially, he assumed Isabella would resist the divorce vehemently, even to the point of attempting suicide. However, unexpectedly, she tremblingly picked up the pen.

Upon seeing that, Alexander breathed a small sigh of relief. He thought Isabella had realized that her actions at that time had crossed the line, so she ceased to resist. Finally, a divorce at last- "Woohoo! Finally, I can get a divorce!" Isabella's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Alexander was confused. Is this... Isabella's voice?

Alexander had almost never heard Isabella's voice brimming with such joy and excitement before. For a moment, he couldn't be sure, so he looked up. However, all he saw was Isabella's fierce expression as she was ready to put pen to paper. He couldn't tell if that expression was one of anger or of joy. Wait, she didn't say anything.

"Fantastic! Two hundred million! Imagine how many houses I could buy and how many innocent-looking young men I could have. My dear ex-husband really is something! He's so generous!" Isabella's voice rang out again, but not through the air. A twitch flickered through Alexander's elegant and deep-set eyes.

He was certain that Isabella hadn't spoken, yet he had indeed heard Isabella's voice.

What's going on? Alexander was always prudent and composed. He glanced at Hannah Gates, his secretary.
