Without hesitation, Cooper dragged her into the City Hall and pushed her onto a chair. “We're here to get a divorce,” he announced coldly.
“No!” Genevieve snapped back to reality. She tugged at Cooper's arm and begged, “Darling, I don't want to get a divorce. Please don't do this to me. We grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and you know how much I love you. You're the only one I can depend on!”-
“I don't want a woman who has been sullied,” came Cooper's heartless reply.
Genevieve's mind went blank as her entire body slumped in her seat. Her grip on his arm also slackened.
He thinks I'm sullied?
At that exact moment, an alluring lady with long, wavy hair rushed into the City Hall.
“Mr. Sutton, I'm here with the documents you need,” she said, panting heavily.
Hope rose in Genevieve's heart when she saw who the newcomer was. “Errie, please help me persuade Cooper not to divorce me. When we used to fight, you'd convince him to change his mind.”
Erica Hall and Cooper went to the same university, and the three of them were good friends.
Every time Genevieve had a fight with Cooper, Erica would help her by telling Cooper off. He would then return to sweettalk her into forgiving him. Thus, she assumed Erica would do the same this time.
After hearing her pleas, Erica seemed to be in a dilemma. “Genevieve, we may be good friends, but what you did at the hotel... It was wrong, and I can't help you.”
As they spoke, Cooper had already flipped the file open. “Sign it!”
Genevieve took one look at it as something popped up in her mind. Before they got married, Cooper had drafted a prenup that stated he would leave without anything if he were to cheat on her.
“I won't sign it! No way!” Genevieve shook her head desperately. “Darling, I can do anything. Just don't divorce me, please...”
Cooper was unfazed despite her pleas.
He even forced her to hold the pen and sign her name. After doing that, he turned to the staff and repeated, “We're here to get a divorce. Please get the procedures done!”
Less than two minutes later, the divorce certificate was tossed into Genevieve's
arms.
“Cooper!” Genevieve stared at Cooper's back as he departed. Choking on her tears, she rushed out behind him but saw him getting into the car with Erica.
