The phone call ended, and Alexander's gaze shifted to Quinn. Her eyes were clouded with confusion, and he
couldn't help but smirk at her bewilderment. "Did you really think," he began, a note of derision in his voice,
"that I've been avoiding you these past few days because | couldn't bear to let you go?"
Quinn's lips tightened into a thin line, her expression betraying her discomfort. That was exactly what she had
believed.
Alexander leaned in, bringing his face dangerously close to hers. It was an intimate gesture, yet his eyes were
icy, devoid of any warmth. "You think too highly of yourself," he whispered, his words laced with mockery. Quinn
flinched at his words, her pupils contracting. She quickly averted her gaze, unable to meet his cold stare. It was
clear now; she had been deluding herself.
Once again, he had made his feelings painfully clear.
A bitter sensation welled up in Quinn's heart, but she swallowed it down, refusing to let the tears escape.
Alexander's gaze lingered on her for a moment longer before he abruptly rose from his seat, moving to a corner
of the room to light a cigarette.
As they waited for Kyle, Quinn watched Alexander smoke one cigarette after another, seven or eight in total. The
room was heavy with silence, neither of them uttering a word.
Upstairs, Kaitlyn's eyes sparkled with anticipation at the maid's report.

The maid nodded in affirmation. "Yes, they're waiting for Kyle to bring the divorce papers."
A wave of elation washed over Kaitlyn, and she clapped her hands in delight. "Excellent! That dummy can finally
leave the Kennedys. Later, bringthe list of eligible bachelorettes from Amber Bay."
"But Mrs. Kennedy... isn't this a bit premature?" the maid asked, her voice filled with uncertainty.
Kaitlyn shot her a dismissive glance. "What's wrong with it? If they're divorcing, we need to eliminate any
possibility of reconciliation. The best way to ensure that is to find him a new wife."
The maid nodded, not fully comprehending but willing to comply. "I'll get the list right away."
"Make it quick," Kaitlyn instructed.
The news of the impending divorce had invigorated Kaitlyn. Her headache had vanished, and her fatigue seemed
to have dissipated. She was tempted to rush downstairs and witness the spectacle herself but thought better of
it. It was best not to interfere and risk causing more complications.

An hour later, Kyle arrived with the divorce papers. He clutched the documents awkwardly, his gaze flitting to
Alexander.
Alexander glanced at him and ordered, "Bring them here."
Startled, Kyle hurriedly handed over the papers.
Without hesitation, Alexander took a pen and scribbled his nin the petitioner's signature space on both
copies. He then tossed the papers at Quinn. "Sign it."
The papers hit Quinn, not causing physical pain, but the contempt and humiliation they carried were palpable.
She bit her lip, picked up the papers, and retrieved a pen from her bag. She stared at the hastily scribbled
signature was that really his name?
Her hesitation was fleeting. Memories of her twith Alexander flooded her mind, pushing her to sign.
She leaned over the table and began to carefully write her name.
