The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1777

Presley sat there expressionless, but upon hearing Alyssa's words, his expression couldn't help but change slightly.

Her relentless determination to divorce him, no matter what, made him look like an awful person.

The judge's mediation hadn't gone smoothly. Looking at the divorce papers Alyssa presented, he didn't have any excuses to favor Presley.

Alyssa's lawyer voiced her wishes clearly. Citing irreconcilable differences, years of accumulated resentment, and the need for her future health, he proposed a divorce. He pointed out several of Presley's flaws to justify the divorce.

After the lawyer had said everything and expressed the hope that Presley would agree to the divorce, everyone turned their gaze toward Presley.

"Mr. Presley, do you have anything to say about the points we've just listed?"d2

Presley responded indifferently, "No." All the accusations against him were true, and he couldn't deny them.

"Then, do you have any reasons why you can't divorce your wife, Ms. Alyssa?"

Presley spoke again, just as nonchalantly, "No."

Chloe raised an eyebrow; everything was proceeding too smoothly. She had thought Presley would have a solid reason to resist the divorce, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"So, are you both certain about getting a divorce today?"

Presley closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, then slowly nodded, "Yes."

Alyssa sat across from him, her eyes flickering slightly at his words.

A few seconds later, a small smile spread across her face. She didn't say anything more. This outcome was enough for her.

Chloe, sitting in the audience, raised her eyebrow again. Presley hadn't offered any defense from start to finish. The whole process had taken only about ten minutes. If there were no objections, why had he even bothered to bring the matter to court?

With his domineering and highly vain nature, she found it hard to guess his intentions in the current situation.

Damon watched her, leaning back in her chair, pensively staring at Presley. He couldn't help but smirk.

This woman just can't stay still for a moment. Other women would eagerly look for a well-off man to marry, aiming for a lifetime of comfort as a pampered lady of a wealthy household, indulging in a life of luxury and leisure.

But here she was, with a super wealthy man right by her side, not to mention the fact that she was carrying two little ones in her belly. He urged her every day to simply enjoy a life of luxury and leisure, but she just wouldn't listen.

Just what had he done in his past life to end up with such a unique woman?

Chloe, deep in thought, felt Damon's gaze and turned to give him a smile, then turned her attention back to Presley, continuing to unravel the mysteries in her mind.

Damon felt a pang of jealousy. This woman was too easily distracted.

Just as he was starting to frown, Presley spoke again, "I agree to the divorce, but I have one request."

Alyssa looked at him coldly, "Let's hear it."

"I hope I can visit you occasionally to see my two great-grandchildren."

Hearing this, most people's gaze turned to Chloe. The two great-grandchildren he mentioned must be the twins she was carrying.

No matter how unreasonable Presley could be, he still had the right to see his great-grandchildren. There was no need to make it a request.

However, Chloe chuckled softly at his words. He was still the same old man, too proud to admit defeat, but willing to use Alyssa to achieve his goals.

Alyssa glanced at Chloe.

Chloe gave a resigned smile. She couldn't refuse him in front of everyone, could she? Even if she wanted to, she wouldn't dare to risk the legal consequences. This was the court, after all, and she had no right to deny him his duties and responsibilities.

Alyssa ignored Presley's words and gave a cold laugh, "Even now, you're still using me for your own gains. Typical of you. Do you really need to make such a request? You're happy to drive your own children and grandchildren away, thinking others will feel the same? Only you would believe that kicking someone out is a sign of power. But you're truly impressive, raising this issue in court. If I refuse, will the court sentence me on the spot?"

Presley didn't react to Alyssa's intentional attack. He simply asked, "So you agree?"

Alyssa gave a cold laugh without giving a clear answer.

However, Presley nodded and spoke again: "After being married for so many years, I wouldn't let you leave empty-handed. As for the compensation, I won't shortchange you."

Alyssa glanced at him coldly, "I don't need anything."
