Chapter 4

No one dared to drive me away from the huge venue.

Serena did not believe that I could create any storm. She rolled her eyes at me with annoyance and had her eyes on the door multiple times.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said, "Mom, Dad, you're finally here!"

"Maxime, you said that no one here can fire you, so my dad must have the right, right?"

She took her father's arm and spoke proudly.

She was right. Even though I was the CEO of Morscheck Group, I worked for my father-in-law, the chairman. He did have the right to decide whether I stayed or left.

"Dad, I know Maxime is good at flattery and you like him, but it's painful for me to be with him. The only one I love is Cedric and I already have Cedric's child. Please help us!"

"Hello, Mr. and Ms. Morscheck."

Cedric put away his arrogant expression and smiled kindly.

Dieter had never liked him, especially since he once dumped his daughter.

But now, looking at his daughter's pregnant belly, he held back and said nothing.

My mother-in-law, Eleanor Morscheck, hugged her daughter with even more heartache and said, "Why are you so impulsive? Are you feeling uncomfortable now?"

"I'm fine, I'm just so angry with Maxime that my stomach hurt," Serena replied in a pitiful tone and snuggled in her mother's arms.

Hearing this, my father-in-law looked at me with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The guests were a bit shaken by my confident expression.

Seeing how much Dieter and Eleanor loved their daughter, everyone no longer had any doubts and believed that I was just playing trick. Countless contemptuous looks stabbed me like knives.

Serena pursed her lips in confidence.

"Mom, Dad, I want to divorce Maxime. If you like someone to take good care of you, accompany you, or even wash your feet, just find a few caring nannies. No real man can't do this kind of self-esteem thing. As long as you get to know Cedric better, you will definitely like him."

Serena had her eyes on me in disdain. When everyone heard that I could even wash my parents-in-law's feet, they all backed away, trying to avoid me as if I were some dirty thing.

Seeing that I could not turn over, Cedric laughed arrogantly. "So what's the point of being a bootlicker? Without status and position, without confidence to support you, you will end up with nothing in the end!"

Dieter and Eleanor were about to speak, but I waved at them.

Serena looked at the scene in surprise and immediately scolded me.

"Since earlier, I have been asking you to leave on good terms and offering you some pretty good benefits, but you insist on saying I have no right to fire you."

"Now my parents who have the right to do that, are here, but you dare to stop them from talking! You know you have no hope with me, why are you still trying to trick us? You're really a bad person!"

"Mom, Dad, can you bear to see me being with someone with such evil intentions? I want a divorce, so just agree to it."

Cedric immediately took over the conversation. "Mr. and Ms. Morscheck, you don't want Serena to get pregnant with a child of no status, do you? As long as she divorces, I will marry her immediately."

My parents-in-law looked at me, then looked at Cedric and Serena holding each other tightly and sighed deeply.

"It's too bad that we are not a family. We can't force ourselves."

"Do as you wish, Serena!"

Serena was very happy. She immediately asked someone to bring the divorce agreement.

"Maxime, you could have gotten compensation, but you were too greedy. After signing the divorce agreement, you have nothing to do with me and you are no longer the CEO of Morscheck Group. Everything is your own fault!"

The guests' laughter and mockery filled my ears and Serena urged me to sign the divorce agreement.

Since it came to this point, I happily signed the divorce agreement.

"Since we have nothing to do with each other, I should let you know where my confidence comes from."

I dropped my pen and spoke to her word by word.
