Chapter 227
Being a lawyer. Colton was more perceptive and meticulous than ordinary people.
When those suspicious foreigners drove away, he didn’t make any noise but quietly followed them.
On the other side, Ferris drove personally while I sat in the passenger seat, my hand constantly gripping the seatbelt, knuckles white.
After a long silence, he finally spoke first: “Do you really want a divorce?”
Even knowing the answer, he still asked unwillingly.
“Yes.” I nodded, then added, “As long as you’re willing to divorce, I don’t want anything. I just want freedom.”
I heard his Adam’s apple move slightly, as if he wanted to say something but held back.
He didn’t continue that topic, but changed the angle: “What you said in court… was all of it true?”
I paused, my heart sinking, and answered softly: “That doesn’t matter anymore, does it?”
I turned to look at him, my tone incredibly firm: “Ferris, if you still won’t divorce, I really will make all those words public. The whole world will know I’ve already started a new life.”
I knew this was my cruelest card.
Ferris always cared about face, and couldn’t possibly watch the company he worked so hard to build become unstable due to scandal.

My heart tightened as I remembered that incident. During that time his mood was low, he often lost his temper, until one dawn when I saw news about a certain alpha mysteriously disappearing, only then did Ferris’s emotions finally calm down.
I had never dared to think about it deeply. Now, everything had an answer.
A chill crept up my spine. I tried to stay calm: “I… just want a divorce.”
“But I don’t.” He was resolute.
His words were like a cold iron wall, directly blocking my escape route.
I was about to respond when suddenly-
“Bang-!”
A huge truck out of control came charging around the corner ahead, heading straight for our car!
Before I could react, Ferris suddenly yanked the steering wheel, his entire body crossing over to shield me!
“Ferris!” I screamed as everything spun around me-

Red… warm…
“Ferris I screamed like a madwoman.
He quickly got out and rushed over. Ferris was unconscious, and my leg was bleeding profusely as I gradually lost consciousness…
