His expression was a blend of betrayal and simmering frustration.

The lively atmosphere of Kristopher’s party was abruptly interrupted when the courier arrived with unexpected divorce papers.

Kristopher had just escorted Lise back to her residence, and the night had fully settled in.

Oliver, seated in the passenger seat, turned to Kristopher with a concerned expression and asked, “Mr.

Norris, where should I take you now?”

For a moment, Kristopher considered Bayview Villa, but the painful memory of Elizabeth caused his face to twist with discomfort.

His voice was cold as he ordered, “Take me to the Norris Mansion.”

Oliver nodded, understanding the unspoken weight of the situation.

The driver immediately adjusted the route and headed toward the grand gates of the Norris Mansion.

The next morning, as daylight broke, Oliver and the chauffeur were once again at the mansion, ready to accompany Kristopher.

Kristopher sat quietly in the backseat, lost in thought, as Oliver outlined the day’s schedule, his voice a soothing rhythm in the stillness of the car.
