This really painted a picture of someone stepping up for love. There was a time when Marcus stood up for Cornelia just like that. Cornelia once thought she was the only girl Marcus would protect. But now, it all seemed like a joke.
She quickly stepped forward, standing in front of Patricia, "Mr. Marcus, sign this divorce agreement first, and then I'll leave with Patricia."
Patricia frowned in distress, "Nelly, you..."
Cornelia smiled at Patricia, "Patricia, I know exactly what I'm doing and what kind of life I want. I know you want me to be happy, but you might not know what kind of life I truly want. Hand me the divorce agreement."
Cornelia's gentle voice was like the best sedative in the world. Patricia soon calmed down and handed the divorce agreement to Cornelia. "Nelly, I hope you'll be happy."
Cornelia took the divorce agreement, smiled and said, "Yeah, I'll try my best to be happy, so you won't have to worry about me."
She then handed the divorce agreement back to Marcus, "Now you can sign."
Marcus picked up the pen again and signed "Jeremy Artis" in the signature field.
Normally, he would sign his name as "Marcus" the most. The last time he had signed as "Jeremy" was when he and Cornelia were registering their marriage at the city hall. But this time, he was signing a divorce agreement.
Cornelia looked at the name he signed and asked coldly, "You said you could get someone to handle the divorce tonight, can they come?"
"The staff are on their way. They should be here soon." Marcus replied.
