Chapter 4

“Today’s incident somehow got out. People are saying that Camilla is the third party. She wants to commit suicide now.”

Suicide again.

She wanted to commit suicide after being slapped. She wanted to commit suicide after being talked about.

But it was clear that Camilla, who was selfish, must be selfish and cherish her life.

“Then let her die. Besides, isn’t she the mistress? Tommy, don’t think that I can’t see the flirting between you. You are the same as her, which makes me feel sick.” Noelle was about to lie down after saying that.

Tommy grabbed her shoulders.

His voice was trembling and his eyes were earnest.

“She is still young. She can’t just die like this. Noelle, you are my wife. Just do a good deed for me. Let’s pretend to divorce and I will give her a name, okay? Save her life.”

Noelle couldn’t believe her ears.

Her husband of eight years actually begged her to give the mistress a name.

But divorce was what she wanted.

Even if it was fake, what could it do? The contract had been signed anyway. When she got the divorce certificate, the fake would become real.

“Okay,” Noelle responded and Tommy almost cried with joy, but he didn’t leave and knelt there.

“Anything else?”

“Necklace… Wife, give me the necklace.”

Hearing this, Noelle was stunned.

The necklace was a family heirloom of the Baldwin Family and it was only passed on to the daughter-in-law recognized by the Baldwin Family.

Back then, when Tommy proposed to her. He solemnly put the necklace on her and announced in front of everyone that she, Noelle, would be the owner of the necklace from now on. But now, he actually wanted to give the necklace to Camilla so easily.

However, there was no greater sorrow than the death of the heart. From the day she planned to leave, Noelle didn’t care about anything.

She took off the necklace expressionlessly and threw it to Tommy.

She didn’t want the necklace anymore and she didn’t want Tommy either.

Tommy carefully took the necklace and left, not noticing that their wedding photo hanging on the bedside had been taken down at some point; the gifts that Noelle had hung up like treasures were also gone.

In the following days, Tommy did not go home.

But Noelle knew his whereabouts very well.

Camilla took the necklace out with great fanfare and flaunted it in the streets, claiming to be Mrs. Baldwin. At all banquets that required a female companion, Camilla stood beside Tommy. People in the circle knew it tacitly and no one had embarrassed the two in public.

Until Camilla began to show her innocence everywhere again.

She added cocoa to Mr. Morris’ champagne, who was severely allergic to coffee, under the pretext of desensitization training; when Mr. Reynard’s daughter celebrated her birthday, she blew out the candles first, saying that she wanted to share in the good fortune; even when Tommy was discussing cooperation with someone, she rushed over and slapped the other person several times, angrily scolding others for seducing Tommy...

One after another, Baldwin Group reputation in the circle declined rapidly.

For this reason, Tommy almost lost an old customer with whom he had cooperated for many years.

In desperation, he begged Noelle.

“Baldwin Group is our common hard work. You must not have the heart to stand by and watch, right? Noelle, help me.”

He thought it would take some effort, but Noelle agreed immediately.

She made an appointment with the other party to meet in a restaurant, but the contract was finalized again during a meal. But it was not signed in the name of Baldwin Group, but in the name of his rival company, the Richardson Group.

[You’ve already brought in such a big business before you even started working. You’ve done a good job.]

Looking at the message on her phone, Noelle replied expressionlessly: [There are still six days left before the one-month deadline. Don’t forget what you promised me.]

After doing all this, Noelle went to the company.

In the office, she showed the signed contract to Tommy and quickly took it back before he could see it clearly. Tommy sat on the office chair with a strange look on his face and the smile on his face was far-fetched and a little… intoxicated.

Just as Noelle was puzzled, a sound of saliva suddenly came from under the large desk.

As an adult woman, Noelle immediately understood what happened here.

Tommy didn’t know that he had been exposed. He put one hand under his body and secretly held Camilla’s head. The sound from his throat was forbearing and ambiguous. “If you have nothing to do, go back first. I have a meeting later.”

After eight years of marriage, Noelle knew Tommy well enough.

When he was emotional, his Adam’s apple would roll uncontrollably.

In the past, Noelle would think that he looked very sexy, but now, looking at his rolling Adam’s apple, Noelle just felt disgusted.

In her previous life, when she wanted to divorce, Tommy swore to heaven that he had never done anything beyond the rules. In the two years after sending Camilla away, she made love with Tommy more than once.

But it was clear... less than a month after the eighth anniversary, this so-called innocent assistant knelt under his crotch.

That thing might have been stained with Camilla’s smell.

Thinking of this, Noelle couldn’t help but cover her mouth and rushed out to vomit.

She held her throat and almost vomited bile. Physiological tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes. After an unknown period of time, she squatted down in embarrassment, leaning against the wall, laughing at her own patheticness.
