Clyde's gaze shifted as he eyed me, a storm brewing beneath the surface.

But Kayla, standing beside him, reacted with lightning speed, snatching the divorce papers from the table.

"Clyde." She looked at him, eyes brimming with a pitiful plea. "Since Melanie has decided..."

"Get out!" In a fit of rage, Clyde tore the divorce agreement to shreds, his eyes bulging with fury as he stared at me. "Melanie! You've got some nerve!"

I smiled at him, having anticipated his reaction. Silently, I reached into my bag and pulled out another copy of the agreement. "It's okay. I printed several copies. Tear them up to your heart's content before you read."

As I was about to hand over the document, I noticed the janitor giving me a weary look. I silently retracted the papers, opting not to cause more trouble.

"Melanie, did you plan on divorcing me from the start? I knew it. How could Vinson just suddenly return? You two must have been in touch all this time!" Clyde yelled, "He's been after you since our school days, and he's still not over you. So, you want a divorce for him? You want to leave me because of him!"

Clyde's gaze was so malicious that it looked like he wanted to tear me apart.

Vinson immediately stood before me, shielding me from Clyde's wrath. "Clyde, you're being unreasonable! Do you think everyone's like you? Cheating in marriage, having affairs, and shamelessly bringing them to your wife's attention? If you were a man, you wouldn't shift the blame onto your wife!"

It was the first time I had seen Vinson so angry, and I couldn't help but stare at him in surprise.

He turned to me with a gentle smile. "Don't worry. Everything's going to be okay."

I nodded subconsciously.
