"Stop staying up late watching dramas, get some early sleep. There are still many things at the company that need handling. I'll sleep in the guest room tonight."

Mason Nightshade said, turning and leaving the room.

Aurelia Shaw stared at the spot on her foot where Mason had kissed, her eyes distant and a bit lost, but soon they turned cold as she looked at Mason who was about to open the door and leave.

"Mason," Aurelia called out, her tone unprecedentedly icy, calm as if a storm were about to break, "I have something to give you."

Aurelia got up and walked to the cabinet, taking out a few pages, and headed towards Mason.

Mason looked at the few pages in her hand, a suspicion faintly flashed in his mind, his eyes suddenly deepening as he looked at her intensely.

That gaze seemed to question.

Aurelia ignored the emotion in his eyes, handed him the papers, Mason didn't take them, but Aurelia didn't withdraw her hand either, holding them out in mid-air, just like her resolute attitude towards this matter.

"These are divorce papers, prepared by my lawyer. Take a look at the contents; if you have no objections, just sign..."

Before Aurelia could finish, the papers were snatched from her hand, startling her for a moment, and she let out a breath.

In this way, there would be no more entanglements between them, right?

If in this life they don't infringe on each other, that would be best. But if what's destined cannot be avoided from the past, she would make sure he gains no benefits.

Aurelia's eyes turned cold again.

This thought hadn't settled in her mind when suddenly a "rip" sound echoed, the papers in Mason's hands tore into shreds.

He looked at her sternly, eyes filled with anger, "I've said it before, don't even think about divorce!"

"You haven't even looked at the contents of the divorce papers..."

"I don't need to see them!" Mason interrupted her coldly, his fists clenched tightly, trembling slightly in an effort to suppress the intense emotions within his chest, his knuckles turning pale.

Mason looked at her calm, unfluctuating face, his heart piercing with needle-like pain.

"I can transfer my shares in the entertainment company to your name. As for the Shaw Family... you understand the situation at my home better than anyone. Clara Philips and her son won't easily hand over shares to me. Even if you marry me, you won't gain much benefit; even if you try to obtain shares, to you, it would be..."

"Do you think I married you just to get the Shaw Family's shares?" Mason cut off Aurelia's lengthy discourse, his thin lips curving into a mocking smile as he felt his entire heart being torn apart by her, the pain radiating through his chest.

"Isn't that the case?"

Aurelia lifted her eyelids, her calm eyes fixed on Mason, her gaze meeting his furious and grief-stricken eyes, her fingertips quivering.

Mason grabbed Aurelia, pressing her fiercely against the wall, his large hand clasping her fragile neck, his hand bones pressing so hard they trembled, veins popping on his forehead, his eyes bloodshot, looking like a beast about to go berserk. But even so, a voice inside him reminded him — he couldn't hurt her!

Enduring the agony, his entire body trembled from the pain in his bones.

Enraged and yet smiling bitterly, Mason moved his lips slightly, his voice trembling due to the intense heartache, "Do you think I, Mason Nightshade, need to rely on a woman to make a comeback? Do you really believe that I would betray my marriage for the few minor conditions proposed by the Shaw Family and marry you? You're too arrogant! Whatever I, Mason Nightshade, don't want to do, who can force me? And whatever I, Mason Nightshade, want to do, who can stop me?"
