CHAPTER 663: CHAPTER 663: BACK TO SQUARE ONE

"Got it."

Nora Cole took out the so-called consent form for opening a card from earlier, the last page.

On it, there is indeed Franklin Yates’ handwritten signature from just now, but upon closer inspection, there is also a line resembling divorce terms above the signature.

That’s right, the last page is not part of a card consent form, but a divorce agreement—a divorce agreement where Franklin Yates voluntarily relinquishes his property.

Originally, Nora Cole only planned to use this card opening to make Franklin Yates transfer some of The Cole Family’s assets.

But her close friend June Joyce advised her to go all the way and turn it into a divorce agreement.

Her exact words were: "Why would you keep a scumbag like him, who has so many women outside and attempts to monopolize all The Cole Family’s assets, for Qingming Festival*?"

So, to prevent herself and her daughter’s father from spending Qingming Festival together, Nora Cole pushed forward with determination, found a lawyer overnight, and drafted a divorce agreement that kicks Franklin Yates out with nothing.

This morning, she found a boutique opened by her friend and replaced the last page of the card consent form with new content.

They originally thought that most people wouldn’t read the terms of a card consent form and would just sign it directly.

But Franklin Yates’ cautious demeanor earlier really made them sweat.

If Franklin Yates found out something was off with the last page, it would be difficult to set him up again in the future.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Franklin Yates was rushed by a phone call and signed the agreement without thoroughly checking the last page.

"Once you put your name on this divorce agreement, your marriage will formally be over."

June Joyce organized the divorce agreement on the last page and handed it back to Nora Cole after placing it in the initial divorce document.

Taking the divorce agreement, Nora Cole’s eyes suddenly turned red.

"I always thought I would grow old with him, but unexpectedly, our marriage ends in this way."

The love and marriage she fought for against her parents, ended after all.

"Stay strong, there’s plenty of fresh meat out there for you to choose from, why care about that blockhead?"

June Joyce, having gone through a divorce herself, now sees everything clearly and hopes Nora Cole will quickly recover from this.

"Even though I know he doesn’t deserve this sadness, I just can’t control my feelings."

Nora Cole’s tears finally fell.

Twenty years of youth and love turned into nothing; few people can truly relate to this feeling.

But as a mother, she must remain strong in front of her daughter.

If not, her daughter would certainly feel even more bewildered and lost.

"If you really can’t bear it, just tear up the agreement and pretend none of this happened."

Seeing her crying heartbreakingly, June Joyce couldn’t watch anymore and deliberately said something discouraging.

But Nora Cole quickly wiped away her tears: "No way, I can’t let my baby end up on the streets."

Indeed, Shelly Cole became her entire motivation to continue living.

Seeing Nora Cole’s mood lift, June Joyce added, "He’s going on a business trip tonight, why don’t we find someplace to have a drink and celebrate?"

"No, I need to take advantage of him leaving Esteria to validate this divorce agreement and complete all the asset transfers."

When Franklin Yates comes back after fooling around, he’ll find himself back to square one.

As for those little opportunists who benefited from fooling around with him, she’ll also prepare legal notices...

"Alright then, let’s wait till you’ve handled everything, and then we’ll have a good drink."
