Chapter 481 The Divorce Decree is Fake
Mary was a bit confused, "Can't we just handle it in the lobby?"
The staff member replied, "Miss, the lobby's pretty packed today. You two should head upstairs."
Mary glanced at the lobby and saw it was indeed crowded.
So, was it that most marriages couldn't last these days?
Without overthinking it, she followed the staff member upstairs.
In the office, they had to fill out some forms, and then it was time to discuss the property issues.
Matthew handed her an agreement, "This is your compensation."
Mary took it and, upon seeing a certain name, her eyes widened slightly.
Maple Grove Manor was actually given to her.
Hadn't she sold that house?
When did he buy it back?
Or was it another one?
It was the first big house he had given her, and it meant a lot to her emotionally. She really liked it.
Looking further down, there was also a divorce settlement of fifty million dollars.
Great, she instantly became a billionaire.
Matthew gazed at her deeply, "Is there any problem?"
Mary shook her head, "No."
Then, they signed the papers.
Soon, the staff handed them two divorce decrees.
Matthew didn't take his.
Mary took hers and examined it carefully.
A faint trace of mockery flashed in her eyes as she got up to leave.
Matthew's cool voice came, "Leaving just like that? No hug?"
Mary replied, "No need for that. You'd better take this. If your grandmother asks and you have nothing to show, she'll think you're lying and might get sick again. That wouldn't be good."
With the divorce decree in hand, even her way of addressing Victoria had changed.
A faint trace of mockery flashed in the depths of Matthew's eyes.
Mary left directly.
Matthew lit a cigarette, taking a deep drag as frustration gnawed at him. He thought smoking might relieve it, but it turned out to be futile.
Not only did it not lessen, but it also grew more intense.
The staff looked at him respectfully, "Mr. Montagu, everything was done according to your instructions. Your wife absolutely won't be able to tell that the divorce decree is fake."
Matthew nodded coldly.
The staff rubbed his hands together and asked, "And about my daughter?"
Matthew replied, "The company will send your daughter an employment notice."
"Thank you, Mr. Montagu!"
Outside the courthouse.
Sunlight fell on her, and Mary looked at the divorce decree in her hand, feeling completely relaxed.
She was free.
After all the entanglements with Matthew, she was finally free.
From now on, they had nothing to do with each other!
Mary took out her phone, snapped a photo, and sent it to Shirley.
Shirley's call came through immediately, "Mary, finally divorced? Welcome back to singlehood!"
Mary smiled and said, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Shirley hesitated, "Tonight might not be good."
Mary was puzzled, "Why?"
Shirley stammered, "It's just that work has been quite busy lately. I have to go to the site today to check the structure and design the subsequent renovations."
Mary was silent for a moment, "Is it Herman's house?"
Shirley said guiltily, "Mary, I'm not intentionally avoiding you. That jerk threatened me. I'm his lowly subordinate!"
Thinking of the subtle relationship between Shirley and Herman, Mary said, "It's okay, we can have dinner another time. But make sure you handle it well and don't get yourself too involved."
