Chapter 440 Mr. Vittorio Officially Files for Divorce
His words weren't just empty threats.
Everyone knew he loved Katherine deeply.
He wouldn't let anyone mess with her happiness.
But she had fought hard to move forward and didn't want to back down now.
Anna took a deep breath and said, "If you leak the news, I'll tell the media that Sara jumped off a building because of you, and you even abandoned your own child."
Fabio was stunned.
He never thought Anna would fight back!
"You should know, I'm giving you a chance now. What you did was wrong."
"Is that so?"
Anna knew it well; otherwise, she wouldn't have been tangled up with Giorgio for so long.
But she wasn't about to back down in front of Fabio, looking at him with cold, rational eyes.
"You made Sara abort your child, and that's moral? You made a girl jump off a building for you, and that's kind and just? Fabio, things aren't that simple. Just take care of yourself and stop hurting Sara."
With that, she pushed open the car door and got out.
Fabio punched the steering wheel: Damn it!
Even though Anna won the argument, she knew the truth of the situation.
She didn't even know how she managed to take that step.
In the future, she might be condemned and rejected by people.
For the rest of the day, Anna was in a bad mood. After taking care of Sara all morning, she went to find Lucia and worked with Penny, shooting videos. The busy day flew by without her thinking about Giorgio.
The next morning, she woke up to a bunch of new friend requests on Facebook, three missed calls, and four texts, all from Giorgio.
Giorgio: [Arrived in Corystania. Haven't heard from you in a while.]
Giorgio: [Busy?]
Giorgio: [Ignoring me again?]
Giorgio: [Reply when you see this.]
Giorgio: [Anna, the weather is as unpredictable as you, changing every day.]
Oh no, he was mad again!
She had unconsciously avoided him again.
Anna felt guilty and quickly replied: [Sorry, I went to the hospital to see Sara yesterday, then shot videos, and crashed when I got back. I was really busy and didn't check my phone.]
Her phone rang less than two minutes after she sent the message.
Anna took a deep breath and answered, "Mr. Vittorio, I know it sounds like an excuse, but it's true. Otherwise, I wouldn't have replied as soon as I woke up."
Her explanation was pretty natural.
She really didn't mean to avoid him this time.
Giorgio's voice was hoarse and deep, and it was unclear if he believed her or not.
"I'll believe you for now. But being busy with all that, you didn't think of me, did you?"
How could she have time to think!
Though she didn't dare say that, she awkwardly said, "Of course I thought of you."
"How did you think of me?"
Giorgio seemed very interested.
Even without seeing him, she could imagine his deep eyes brimming with interest.
Anna felt a surge of nervous heat at the thought of his eyes.
"Well, it's hard to say. It's night over there, right? Aren't you going to sleep?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Katherine's voice on the other end.
"Giorgio, I put your clothes on the table."
Anna felt a pang of discomfort.
They were living together.
'Clothes? Probably the clothes he would wear after showering,' she thought.
For no particular reason, she felt a twinge of sour jealousy and tentatively said, "It's late, you should go shower and rest. I need to take Penny to school."
Giorgio glanced at the neatly ironed suit on the table and said, "I have a dinner meeting later, so I won't be sleeping for now. You go ahead, let's keep in touch on Facebook."
His tone was somewhat awkward and stiff.
After all, he had blocked her before and now had to request to add her back, which was pretty embarrassing.
Still working? Anna felt a bit relieved.
She wanted to say more, but Giorgio, thinking she was busy, had already hung up.
Her face turned pale as she held the phone, feeling a pang of disappointment.
How could she be so easily affected by emotions?
This wasn't like her at all.
Frustrated, Anna patted her head, accepted Giorgio's friend request on Facebook, and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
The phone on the counter lit up with a new message.
Anna switched hands to brush her teeth, picked up the phone, and saw a message from Giorgio: [It's raining in Corystania. Not sure about the weather in Crownhaven. Remember to bring an umbrella and take care of yourself.]
The words were filled with gentle concern.
More importantly, he really asked about the weather. It was similar to what Sara had said.
Anna felt a bit shocked and overwhelmed.
She took a deep breath and suddenly felt that Sara's words made sense. She didn't reply immediately and continued freshening up.
Meanwhile, Giorgio put on a freshly cleaned and ironed suit, looking dignified and elegant.
As he left the room, Katherine had also changed into an elegant and beautiful outfit.
With a face identical to Anna's, she was equally exquisite and attractive.
The difference was her eyes and demeanor, which were never as comfortable as Anna's.
Giorgio felt a slight bitterness in his heart, thinking about how Anna hadn't replied to his message yet.
"Giorgio, Elena hasn't returned with Charlie yet. Here are the documents I organized. The other party is very keen to cooperate with us. I think if we push for a few more percentage points, they'll agree."
Katherine analyzed skillfully.
In terms of work capability, she was a competent assistant comparable to Tony.
In the past, when Giorgio had no interest in women, he didn't see anything wrong with Katherine and didn't feel the need to break off the engagement. But after meeting Anna, he realized that women, like work, weren't all equally interesting.
"Katherine, how about I give you the shares of the Luxury project?" he suddenly said.
Katherine was taken aback.
The Luxury project was a major international venture they had come to Corystania for, with long-term benefits that could be described as immense.
If it became hers, she would not only transform but also make it to the billionaire list.
He was actually giving it to her?
But, being smart, she knew there wouldn't be benefits without reason. The only reason was divorce.
"Divorce?"
Giorgio neither confirmed nor denied.
"You know very well, there is no marriage between us. Offering you such terms is merely the greatest respect I can show you."
Last time at Emerald Manor, he had been resolute enough.
This time, presenting such a significant fortune, he was showing his ruthless decisiveness.
Katherine had always understood that he never loved her.
But she really didn't want to give up, after ten years of waiting, to end up in such a disgraceful situation.
She laughed coldly.
"Divorce is fine, but we have to make love once. If you can do that, I'll agree to the divorce."
Giorgio's eyebrows furrowed, his demeanor turning cold.
"After all these years of not making love with you, you think I can do it now? Don't push it."
"So what if I push it?" Katherine said with a mix of humor and bitter reason.
"I've been with you for so long, just as you said, you don't even touch my hand. I don't want to give up; I'm dissatisfied and regretful. If word gets out that we were engaged and married for such a long time without making love even once, how ridiculous would that be? So, whether you get yourself drunk or take medication, I need to make love with you. Otherwise, even if you give me The Vittorio Group, I won't divorce you."
