Chapter 797

As Wilma stared at Phineas, she thought, I regret ever loving him. It’s only after this incident that I

realized just how evil this man is. In the past, I sincerely believed he would bring me happiness, but

what he brought me was so much worse than I could’ve thought. “Don’t say anything else, Phineas. Let

us just get on with it and go our separate ways.”

Phineas sobbed. “Is this how our relationship must end, Wilma? Do you know how much I love—”

“Don’t utter that word in front of me again! A domestic abuser like you doesn’t deserve to use that

word!” Genuine disgust flooded Wilma’s heart. I hate how he’s still putting on a fake act.

“Wilma!”

“All right, that’s enough. Stop wasting time and divorce her.” Sophie had had enough of his nonsense. If

he truly loved her, he wouldn’t have hurt her. There’s no need for anyone to keep a man who abuses

her. There are plenty more men in the world. I’m sure Wilma will meet someone who’ll treat her well.

Phineas didn’t have the nerve to speak another word when he saw the look in Sophie’s eyes.

Neither Sophie nor Tristan was someone he could afford to mess with. If he did, his life would turn into

a living hell.

It was then Tristan arrived with Sean.

When Sophie saw Sean, she grinned. With him here, the divorce will no doubt proceed smoothly.

“Thank you for coming here, Mr. Burton. I’ll treat you to dinner later.” Usually, she wouldn’t just casually

invite someone to a meal.

“Sure!” Sean accepted without hesitation. “There’s no need for you two to follow me in. I’ll handle it.”

Sophie and Tristan haven’t even gotten married yet! There’s no need for them to watch another

couple’s divorce.

“Okay.” Sophie was very confident Sean would ensure Wilma’s divorce proceeded smoothly.

After Sean brought Wilma and Phineas in, Phineas spoke up. “Wilma, I’m fine if you want to divorce

me, but you must give me the condominium we lived in.”

He was initially an outstanding bachelor, so he wanted something in return for becoming a used man

after marrying her.

Staring at him with disbelief, Wilma argued, “Do you know what you’re saying right now? I bought the

condominium with my own money! Why should I give it to you?” I didn’t mind paying for our expenses

when we had meals or went somewhere to have fun when we were still together, but we’re about to

divorce each other now. I can’t believe he has the gall to say something like that at this moment!

“Because after marrying you, I’m no longer as popular as before. So, I want compensation for my

emotional damage.” Phineas knew there was no way he could patch things up with her, no matter how

hard he tried.

Therefore, he was eager to extract every bit of benefit he could.

Wilma was, understandably, furious. “I must be blind in the past for falling for you! How can you be so

shameless, Phineas? I’ve never seen a man as despicable as you!”

“I don’t care what you say. If you want a divorce, you must give me that condominium.” He was going

all out because he saw no point in being decent with her anymore.

“You!” The taste of blood entered her mouth. She was so livid that she had bitten her tongue.

It was also the first time Sean saw such a shameless man.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Lineker. You should head in first,” he said so he could deal with Phineas alone.

Sean was a burly and handsome man with cold, frightening eyes.

Thus, Phineas had to gather his courage before demanding, “I know you’re the lawyer Ms. Sophie

hired. My only condition for the divorce is that condominium’s ownership!”

In response, Sean couldn’t help but scoff. This guy’s so ridiculous that he shifts my notion of

shameless.

“Do you know who I am?” At that moment, he felt compelled to disclose his identity.

Phineas continued, “I don’t care who you are! This is my only request. If you all don’t agree to it, I—”

He was cut off when Sean punched him.

Peering at the man before him with disbelief, Phineas exclaimed, “How can you hit someone? You’re a

lawyer! I’m going to sue you. I’ll ensure you can’t be a lawyer anymore!”

“My name’s Sean Burton. Go in there and sign the divorce paper now, or I’ll make sure you lose

everything, including your underwear.”

Of course, as a resident of Jipsdale, Phineas had heard of Sean’s name before.

While he was dumbfounded, he wasn’t surprised. I should’ve expected this since Wilma has someone

powerful supporting her right now.

“Don’t request anything ridiculous. The assets have been split. You just need to sign the papers.

Otherwise, I’ll turn your life into a living hell,” commanded Sean. What a piece of garbage. He only

knows how to trick women. Is it fun for him to be a kept man?

Phineas didn’t have the guts to speak any further. All he wanted was a little more benefit, but he could

tell he wouldn’t get any in that situation.

After that, everything went smoothly. He signed the divorce paper without a word.

When Wilma received her divorce certificate, she released a sigh of relief. It’s only now that I know just

how shameless this man is. The fact that he’s willing to do all this is just pathetic.

“Wilma, I—” Thinking he could be like those handsome male leads in movies, he tried to ask her to

stay, but she simply found his attempt amusing.

“If we meet again in the future, pretend we don’t know each other. Just the sight of you disgusts me.”

With that, she stepped toward Sophie. “Thank you, Ms. Sophie. I’ll rest a few more days before

returning to work.” Now that I’m not carrying a child anymore, I can focus on working.

Sophie shook her head. “How about this, Ms. Lineker? I don’t think you’re suitable to work yet in your

current state, so I’ll give you one month of leave to recover fully.”

“I don’t need it, Ms. Sophie. Right now, I—”

Sophie cut her off with a hug. “Listen to me, okay? Just take the month off. Go wherever you want to

go. Relax. Don’t worry about your work. It’s not going anywhere. You deserve to rest after going

through so much.”

“Ms. Sophie…” Wilma’s eyes reddened. Ever since she lost her baby, she hadn’t shed a tear.

However, at that moment, she genuinely wanted to cry.
