Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 459

As dusk settled, Bradley's voice coming through the phone had a distant, almost dreamlike quality.

He said, "Mrs. Bennett has agreed to all the stringent terms without any objections. Her only request was to get the divorce papers ASAP, so we've already filed the paperwork. Once the one-month cooling-off period is over, the divorce certificate will be issued." Everett's lips tightened into a harsh, thin line. "You..."

Sensing his displeasure, Bradley quickly asked, "Mr. Everett, did I mess up somewhere?"

After working with Bradley for so long, this was the first time Everett was irked by his swift efficiency.

"No, you did fine."

He practically spat out the words through clenched teeth, abruptly ending the call, his eyes blazing with fury.

On the other end, Bradley was left scratching his head. He had expected the divorce negotiations to drag on forever, given how tough the conditions were. Plus, Mrs. Bennett was known for her fiery temper-she'd even thrown a glass of water in Mr. Everett's face during a previous meeting. Yet, somehow, everything wrapped up smoothly.

He felt a bit smug, ready to bask in some praise from his boss, but Everett seemed... far from pleased.

Ah, this couple, truly a puzzle.

The more Everett dwelled on it, the angrier he got. His phone hit the floor with a loud thud as he yanked at his tie, trying to calm his breathing.
