Chapter 7

"I get it! You're still doubting me, but I already told you I have no other hidden agenda. I am willing to sign any agreement on your terms. You can also hire someone to watch me so you can be sure that I won't do anything against you... I am willing to do anything to prove that I will never blackmail you!" Stacey's long explanation.

Tristan's deep lips were slightly pursed, and he did not speak.

"Or are you afraid I will take the divorce to the media to slander you and your family?" Stacey asked when she did not get any response from Sean. "...You can also rest assured of this. I could kill myself if I did something like that..."

After a long silence, Tristan made remarks. "Do you think I will believe you?"

Hearing his answer, Stacey lost her temper. " Then what do you want? I accepted the fact that you hated me! I accept the fact that you're playing outside, but I rather die than raise your child with another woman!"

Tristan looked at her intensely and sneered.

Even if he didn't say it, Stacey knew what he meant. He is laughing at her because Kristine's method is not different from hers.

"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, so let's talk about this when I come back," Tristan's insensitive remarks.

Thinking that Tristan would divorce her when he comeback, Stacey smiled brightly. "... Okay, I don't care how long but as soon as you come back, call me... So that we can sign the papers."

Looking at the woman with a completely different attitude, Tristan sneers before turning his back on Stacey.

Meanwhile, Stacey immediately goes home and continues her work. She erased all her thought about Tristan and concentrated on her work.

Since the deadline was approaching, Stacey spent days in her room finishing the design. However, when she rests, Stacey can't resist thinking about Tristan and the divorce.

The one-week deadline soon arrived, Stacey handed the design to Kendrick, and Kendrick replied to her that night. The boss loved her work and immediately asked her to sign the contract.

Stacey was relieved. In the past few days, she was afraid they wouldn't be satisfied with the things they designed. But Fashion Jewelry has been advancing this project since the company announced the new collection a long time ago; however, they don't have the design; they report it to all media outlets.

The collection that will be launched is a set of necklaces, earrings, and bracelets... Stacey already made a necklace, so all she needs to do is the bracelet and earrings.

With so much going on in her work, Stacey no longer noticed the day's passing; she ensured that her work would be finished on the appointed day. And she did succeed.

Before the deadline, she finished the design, which is why the production started quickly.

The days and weeks passed quickly. Until the end of a month, Stacey's set of jewelry is ready to be made public.

She was too busy that she didn't remember about the divorce.

Since Tristan did not contact her, Stacey thought he had not yet returned from his business trip.

Stacey was in the room when her cp rang. She frowned and waited until the phone rang for the second time.

"Hey, your brother will take the college entrance examination next year. The teacher said he must go to cram school; I almost got money; you give it to me." Robert said.

"How much," Stacey responds briefly. Her grip on the phone has become tightened.

"For the tuition and expenses for this semester, he must pay fifty thousand dollars," Robert immediately said.

"Really? Do you think you can fool me? My brother got a full scholarship, so he doesn't need to pay his tuition... Second, the school also provides an allowance for the whole semester... And third, I have never heard of any cram school costing fifty thousand dollars per semester!" Stacey cold responded.

"Just give me the money!" Robert retorted. Since his lie is exposed, he does not need to hide his actual color.

"I don't have any money."

"Asked your husband! He is loaded, so fifty thousand dollars is not a problem!"

"We are already divorced, so stop asking for his money!" Stacey furiously retorted.

"What! Are you crazy!" Robert screamed as he scolded Stacey. "Did he divorce you? Even if he did, you could get half of his money! You are his legal wife, so you have the right to half his asset!"

"Stop talking nonsense! I divorced him, and I signed an agreement, so I will not get a single penny from him!" After her remarks, Stacey turns off her phone.

Not long after, Christian called.

"Did Robert call and ask for money? No matter what he said, could you not give him? He started gambling again, and now he is hiding!"

"Don't worry; I didn't give him," Stacey responded. "... By the way, have you thought about which university to apply to?"

Christian shook his head. "...I'm still thinking." He said.

"How about abroad? With your outstanding performance, I'm sure you can get into any university... You don't need to worry about the money," Stacey suggested.

Christian promptly sneers while shooking his head. " No, I prefer the university here," although he knows why Stacey suggested he go abroad.

Stacey knows his temper, so she does not push her suggestion further. "... Well, you're a grown-up now, so you can decide what you want. Just tell me if you need money, huh?"

"Keep your money for yourself. As you said, I'm old, and I can take care of myself..." Christian said and smiled "—How about Tristan? Is he good to you?"

Mentioning Tristan's name, Stacey was a little dumbfounded, but she smiled before she spoke. "... The truth is, we're getting a divorce. I'm just waiting for Sean to come back from his seminar abroad,"

Christian was stunned for a moment, and it seemed he was not surprised to hear this from her mouth. "That is great... It's better for you... Don't worry; I will take care of you," he replied.

"Your taking care of me? Ha Ha Ha, I just broke up with my husband. I didn't become useless. My body is intact so that I can earn for us... What I want you to do is study hard," Stacey asserted.

Stacey and Christian's conversation lasted a few minutes before it ended. After hanging up the phone, Stacey came out of the bedroom and saw Belinda nestled on the sofa.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Stacey asked when she was visibly pale and sweating.

Belinda shook her head. " my stomach cramps," she whipped while pointing.

Stacey immediately went to the kitchen and poured hot water. "Do you have medicine?" When Belinda shook her head, she signed.

"I'll go out and buy you medicine," Stacey said as she hurriedly got her wallet.

Hearing this, Belinda was overwhelmed. "Stacey, you are the best... Perhaps your crazy husband is blind... He doesn't know how precious you are!"
