Chapter 401 A Forced Kiss

In the past, I merely wanted my child back, but my hatred toward the Shaw family grew as time passed. I could not forget how I had been waking up crying amidst my yearning for my child every day in the past year.

“Anna, you’re my wife, yet you’re helping outsiders to oppress my company?”

Michael’s brows were creased slightly, and his eyes radiated faint fury as he stared at me.

Upon hearing that, I could not help guffawing. I looked at him with a derisive expression on my face. “Wife? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten that we’re divorced? We’re no more than strangers at present!”

The events of my meeting with him that day had been wholly contrary to my expectations. I initially thought he would be livid to see me, assuming that I would be the last person he wanted to see in his lifetime. From his reaction, however, I sensed that it was not the case.

The instant I mentioned the word “divorce,” his expression changed in a flash, rage blazing in his eyes that were pinned on me.

“Are you that eager to be strangers with me? Anna, it’s just been a year, but I never expected you to have changed so much!”

Michael’s countenance was glacial, his words coming out in a near bellow. I could sense that he was really enraged at that moment, but I was not bothered.

We no longer had anything to do with each other anymore, so there was no need for me to soften my attitude toward him when he was ruthless to me back then. Speaking of changing, no one changed more than him. I initially thought that the two of us would be together forever, living happily ever after as a family of three, but he let me down. After signing the divorce agreement, he disappeared without a trace. How callous was his treatment of me back then! I could not help but wonder if he harbored even a shred of reluctance when we had been together for such a long time.

“I’m here today to inform you that Nifty Group has been officially established in the country. Starting today, I’m going to poach every single client of Joyful Success! I want to witness Joyful Success being gobbled up by our company!”

As I loathed to dwell on memories long past, I stood up to leave after uttering those words placidly.
