Divorced

Chapter 537

Selena ruffled her hair in frustration. Just then, her phone rang again. It was her boss calling.

Taking a deep breath, Selena answered, “Hello?”

“Selena, Mr. Fletcher has an issue with the blueprint and says you’re not answering his calls. Are you trying to ruin our entire studio? Call Mr. Fletcher back immediately…”

“I’m quitting,” Selena replied calmly.

There was a pause on the other end. “What did you say? You’re quitting? Are you joking? You know the consequences of resigning, right?”

Selena responded, “Yes, I know. I’ll bear all the consequences myself.”

The person on the other end was completely stunned. Are you crazy? If you finish this project, you’ll earn a substantial income.”

Selena tugged at the corner of her lips. “But what if it never gets done? Aaron keeps giving me a hard time. I’m tired. I don’t want to play his games anymore.

“You…” The person hesitated, unable to find the words.

Selena said calmly, “That’s it. Goodbye.”

With that, she hung up the phone.

It was pointless.

She thought it was time to leave Cloudflare City. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

But first, she needed to figure out how to tell Aveline about this.

Aaron was not someone she could afford to mess with.

After work.

As Aveline exited the building, she noticed Russell leaning against a fiery red Ferrari, smoking a cigarette.

His hair was dyed a light blue, making him look even more devilishly attractive.

His striking appearance and the flashy car drew a lot of attention, with nearly everyone turning to look at

him.

Aveline paused, suddenly feeling too nervous to approach him.

But Russell had already spotted her and started walking toward her. “Off work? Let’s go!”

Aveline tugged at the corner of her lips and asked, “Russ, are you always this flashy?”

Russell raised an eyebrow. “You think this is flashy? Just wait; I’ll show you something even more extravagant someday.”

Aveline forced a dry laugh. “No, no need for that…”

She couldn’t handle more than this.

Under the gaze of countless onlookers, she got into the car.

Russell handed her a box as he started the engine. “Eat something first to fill your stomach.”

Aveline hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Where exactly are we going?”

Russell thought for a moment before replying, “It’s quite far.”

Then he gave her a meaningful look. “Don’t worry, I won’t sell you off.”

Trusting Russell, Aveline opened the box and found a few delicate cakes inside.

She didn’t hesitate, grabbing a spoon and starting to eat.

Seeing this, the smile on Russell’s lips deepened.

The sports car roared down the road, speeding past everything in its path.

About 50 minutes later, the car came to a stop on a road beside an abandoned dock.

The area was nearly abandoned, with only a few cars in sight and a beach littered with scattered, discarded shipping containers.

Seeing this scene, Aveline suddenly remembered her past ordeal.

Cold, dark, helpless…

When the seawater filled her ears, she thought she was going to die in that pitch–black container.

Aveline asked, “Russ, why did you bring me here?”

Russell pointed to one of the containers. “Sophia is in there.”

“What?”

Aveline was stunned.

Russell continued, “I keep my promises. I told you I’d make her understand despair. Now, let’s see if anyone comes to save her.”

Aveline clutched her bag tightly. This was exactly the outcome she had wanted.
