Second Chance At Love

Chapter 93

Sophia slowly loosened her grip. The broken pieces of check slid down her fingertips and gently drifted down to the ground.

“This bit of money can’t keep my mouth shut,” she said..

Camila suddenly raised her hand and was about to slap Sophia hard. But when her gaze landed on the Civil Affairs Bureau staff, who was at the side, she gritted her teeth and retracted her arm.

“Sophia, you were in the wrong first,” she said. “Jason, on account of being your husband, wants to offer you 10 million dollars as compensation. Don’t push your luck. You had better be tactful. Just be good by taking this check and signing it. Otherwise, once the services of a team of lawyers are engaged, you’ll be left with nothing.”

Sophia slowly stood up from the sofa and looked at the silent Jason. She asked with a smile, “Is four years of marriage worth 10 million dollars?”

This remark was like a blade that ruthlessly stabbed into Jason.

He thought, ‘Is a marriage really only worth 10 million dollars? No. This woman gave me the utmost love. She even miscarried a child for me and suffered greatly because one of her fallopian tubes was removed. Her sacrifices can’t be measured in money. But this time, her mistake is too significant. If I were to side with her, my family would engage the services of a legal team to take legal action again her. By then, not only would she not be able to win the lawsuit, but she would also face verbal attacks from the outside world. It’d probably be difficult for her to establish herself in Cester City in the future.

“Take this 10 million dollars first,” he said. “If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me.”

Sophia thought, ‘Come to him again? In what capacity? As a mistress?”

Before she could speak, Camila, across from her, pointed at her nose and scolded harshly, “I knew you were obsessed with material possessions and status. You even said you love Jason. Your love is all based on money, right?”

Sophia was left speechless.

Sitting not far away, the head of the Civil Affairs Bureau couldn’t bear it any longer. After clearing his throat twice, he attempted to say, “Mrs. Camila, Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Sophia has already signed the divorce agreement. She has waived her right to the division of marital assets.”

As soon as those words were uttered, the detestable Camila immediately turned into a source of ridicule.

She rattled off a bunch of accusations, not expecting that Sophia hadn’t even thought about taking a cent from the Wilson family’s assets. Compared to her sharp and bitter remarks, Sophia appeared more gracious and dignified.

Camila looked at the divorce agreement that the head of the Civil Affairs Bureau had flipped open. Her eyes were fixed on the signature on it, and her face alternated between pale and flushed.

She had lost all her face.

She said, “You…”

Before she finished talking, Sophia suddenly interrupted her, saying, “As you wish, I won’t set foot in the Wilson family for the rest of my life. As for this 10 million dollars, leave it for your son to marry a

new wife.”

With that said, she slowly walked toward the door, thinking, “I can finally get rid of the infamy of seducing my future brother–in–law. To marry this man, I tarnished my reputation, and I was covered in wounds. Now, I’m finally free.

When she passed by Jason, he instinctively reached out and grabbed her wrist, forcing her to stop.

Their eyes met, and both of them fell silent.

After staring at him for a moment, Sophia sighed and said, “I’ve already signed the divorce agreement, Jason. From now on, we’ll part ways and live our own lives.”

With that said, she slowly pried open his fingers one by one, trying to break free from his grip.

Looking at her determined eyes, Jason felt a sharp pang.

In the end, he squandered all the love of this woman. The things he found distasteful might become what he desperately sought but could never obtain in the future.

He said, “Sophia, !…”

Without giving him a chance to finish talking, Sophia broke free from his grip and slowly stepped back.

The corners of her pale lips curved into a radiant smile. It was as innocent and pure as when she first met him eight year go, devoid of any pain or heartache. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She had given him her best youth and her deepest affection, but she did not see the most beautiful form of love. She was truly tired.

“Jason, thank you for letting me go,” she said.

Right after saying that, a sharp pain gripped her chest, and a surge of blood rose.

She tried her best to suppress it, but in the end, she could not hold it back. She tilted her body and coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

Jason was shocked and furious as he looked at the striking redness on the floor. “What’s wrong with you?” he said. “Why do you keep coughing up blood?”
