Chapter 120 The Price of Letting Go

Chapter 120 The Price of Letting Go

Grace hadn’t yet persuaded Henry, and neither Blanc, Nancy, nor the others knew about their plan to divorce. For now, James and Lily had no choice but to continue sharing his room.

Earlier, while heading downstairs, James had already called his assistant and instructed him to have the legal team draft a divorce agreement as soon as possible.

Everyone under James worked fast.

Not long after he returned to his study, his assistant Ashton sent over the finalized documents.

Lily knew James would want to talk, so after returning to the bedroom, she didn’t lie down. Instead, she sat quietly on the edge of the bed and waited…

Sure enough, James soon walked out of the study with two freshly printed copies in hand.

“Lily, the previous agreement is void.”

“This is the divorce agreement. Sign it, and tomorrow we’ll get the divorce certificate at the civil office.”

Unless he formally ended their marriage, he’d always feel guilty. He couldn’t look Leila in the eyes and confess his feelings while still bound to another woman.

He needed to be free.

Then, he would help Lily find someone worthy.

And once Lily’s new relationship had a solid foundation, he’d tell the family they were already divorced.

Everyone would be happy.

Lily never wanted to stand in his way and had no objections. She took the documents and began signing immediately.

He had once promised her a one–hundred–million dollars compensation as part of the divorce.
