CHAPTER 485: CHAPTER 485: UNVEILING HER MASK

When Jack appeared in front of Rhonda Sullivan, she still couldn’t believe it. She stared at him, worried that if she blinked, he would disappear before her eyes.

"Hi." Jack was the first to break the silence, his expression somewhat complicated, a bit awkward, a bit indifferent.

"Hi." Rhonda Sullivan showed a joyful smile, then kept smiling while looking at him, "Um... would you like tea or coffee? I’ll go prepare it." She said, getting up.

Jack hurriedly stopped her, "No need, I... came to discuss something with you." He said as he took out a contract from his backpack, "Here is the divorce agreement, take a look, um, I didn’t write any issues about property division, if you need compensation, we can discuss it."

He looked at her with an indifferent expression, as if discussing an unimportant transaction.

"You want a divorce from me?" Ruby Sullivan’s smile froze, gradually turning into a disappointed and unbelieving awkward smile, "You want a divorce from me?"

"Yes, I’m sorry." Jack looked at her sincerely.

After leaving Celestia, he returned to his studio in Gallia and kept painting, because only while painting could he calm down and face the marriage that was ending in just a few days.

He loved Rhonda Sullivan deeply, but when those dirty deeds were laid before his eyes, he suddenly felt deceived. He thought he was seeing a delicate orchid needing tender care to grow well, only to find it was just a disguise of a carnivorous plant.

The recently exposed news left him in complete despair over Rhonda Sullivan, so he immediately set off for Celestia just to end this marriage that shouldn’t have started.

Rhonda Sullivan threw the divorce papers in his face, holding back tears, and said forcefully, "What I want to hear is not ’I’m sorry!’"

Jack’s face darkened, he avoided her gaze, and coldly said, "I don’t want it to get too ugly."

Rhonda Sullivan looked at him decisively, inexplicably, all she could think of were the moments he said he loved her, saying he wanted to cherish her, that in his eyes she saw the color of love, intoxicating her, letting her sink.

But now, he said sorry, the dazzling ’I love you’ like a fleeting fireworks had fallen, leaving only a mere ’I’m sorry.’

Sorry.

Rhonda Sullivan lowered her head, more calmly than she imagined, without crying or breaking down, she just lightly asked, "Is it because of that video?"

Jack shook his head, "I think it doesn’t matter anymore."

"I think it matters!" Her voice suddenly rushed, her expression turning fierce.

Jack frowned, speaking bluntly, "I can’t marry a malicious woman."

Rhonda Sullivan sneered, "Ha, so it’s all about that vixen Ruby Sullivan... men, they’re all blind, you think she became Dr. L’s student out of love?"

Jack watched her face with undisguised disgust, his heart chilling, "Rhonda, she’s your sister!"

Upon hearing this, Rhonda Sullivan suddenly became hysterical, "What sister! If it hadn’t been because the Sterling Family knew I was adopted from an orphanage, how would Ruby Sullivan, that fat and stupid one, be chosen for Ethan Sterling? It was me, it should have been me to marry Ethan Sterling! She took away what should have been mine, I just took back what belonged to me by my ability, what’s wrong with that! Why does everyone have to blame me!"

Jack frowned at her, knowing that discussing anything with her now was futile. He got up to leave, not wanting to waste time, "I’ll give you three days to think about it, and if you still disagree, I’ll get a lawyer to apply for a divorce."

After speaking, he was about to leave.

Rhonda Sullivan dumbfoundedly watched him turn away, suddenly overcome with fear, dashed to tug at his arm, "Jack, don’t leave me, I love you, I know you like Ruby Sullivan, I’ll give her back The Sullivan Group, I’ll return my father’s legacy to her, don’t leave me."

"Rhonda, don’t do this." Jack pried her hand away, full of disdain.

Rhonda Sullivan wasn’t as strong as him, and she fell to the ground, although she cried and screamed for him not to go, Jack still left mercilessly.

She sat on the ground in despair, suddenly gleaming with coldness in her tear-filled eyes, "Ruby Sullivan, Ruby Sullivan, Ruby Sullivan!" After shouting, she burst into sudden laughter, "Since they all like you so much, let them see your true colors, I wonder if they will still like you then!"

As she spoke, her laughter grew more disturbing, as if possessed.

Mrs. Jewel was so scared, she tried to record everything on her phone.

Ruby Sullivan was busy planning Nirvana’s entry into Caelus, not in the mood to deal with the mess online.

Nirvana’s second quarter sales performance in Bellaza was remarkable, Alex never expected Ruby Sullivan’s marketing strategy to be so successful. Bellaza was where Ruby Sullivan’s reputation soared, she regarded Romelia as her battlefield to become a top perfumer, knowing the meticulous Bellazians inside out; through this sales data, Ruby Sullivan could proudly say she understood better than the Bellazians themselves about what perfume they needed.

But Caelus was different.

Caelus wasn’t a city Ruby Sullivan knew well, nor was Gallia an easily mastered territory, a romantic map that never lacked stunning fragrances, breaking through such high standards was truly challenging.

But now all the raw material suppliers collaborating with Nirvana came from Veridia, she had to open the market to further expand Nirvana’s benefits.

For the battleground of Caelus, Ruby Sullivan was determined to win.

This meeting with Alex took place in a highly private Chinese restaurant, Ruby Sullivan prepared a table of dishes according to Alex’s taste, first conquering his stomach would make negotiations smoother.

"I watched your press conference with Mr. Sterling, I have to say, it was a successful promotion."

"I had no choice, no one wants to expose their private life as a joke to others." Ruby Sullivan raised an eyebrow.

"Personally, I hope this collaboration goes well, but captivating the Gallians isn’t easy, so... I have a request, the decision will only be made once you’ve developed a unique fragrance for Caelus."

Every luxury brand launches different products in different places, also many products are globally launched simultaneously, so Alex wasn’t being difficult.

"No problem." Ruby Sullivan agreed readily.

The two raised their glasses, both expecting a smooth collaboration.
