The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 6 Baseless Accusations

Caspian sat at his desk and waited for Willow to return. He was also waiting to become the company’s largest shareholder.

Instead, Melanie and Bobby returned to the company before Willow did.

As soon as Melanie entered the company, Thomas rushed up to her and said angrily, “Melanie, we’ve been waiting for you. Quick, return our money!

“Damn it! Your husband is really a scumbag. He went behind our backs and reported us to Ms. Stewart.”

He continued in anger, “Everyone in the company had a pay cut this morning. There’s no place for negotiation. Return everyone’s money right now!”

Thomas’ heated rant left Melanie stunned at the entrance.

After some time, she gathered what had happened in the office by her colleagues’ accusations.

Bewildered, Melanie stood at the entrance after getting shouted at by Thomas.

She was furious as well. She had finally divorced Caspian, and yet this beggar was still embarrassing her at the company.

In a fit of rage, she fished out the divorce certificate from her bag and held it up over her head.

She announced to her colleagues at the office, “All of you, take a good look. Caspian and I are already divorced and I have the divorce certificate on hand.

“From now on, we will go our separate ways. There’s absolutely nothing between us anymore!”

Everyone immediately fell into stunned silence.

No one expected to hear the sudden news of Melanie and Caspian’s divorce.

Thomas snatched the divorce certificate from Melanie and read it in a hurry. “f**k! Have you two really divorced? You guys got divorced today?”

Melanie stuffed the divorce certificate back into her bag. Feeling aggrieved, tears streamed down her face.

“You guys came to me for help after suffering injustice in the company. Who do I turn to when I feel wronged?

“When Caspian and I were married for the past six months, we lived in a rental house and wore cheap clothing.

“I never had the chance to have a meal at a restaurant.

“Every day, I had to endure the mockery of my colleagues because of Caspian’s job as a deliveryman in this building.
