"Yes, I warned her about that at the time, too. By doing so, she is giving up and losing a lot."

Mr. Baldwin raised his hand to hold down the gold-rimmed frame of his glasses and continued, "But Mr. Warner was quite straightforward, and she said she knew exactly what she was doing. She never wanted a penny from the Warner family, and the reason she was willing to inherit the shares was because she believed that Ms. Stephanie, before she died, must have fought hard to transfer the shares to her, and she must have a reason for that."

"She felt it was a last task for her from Ms. Stephanie and she must live up to Ms. Stephanie's expectations. That's all."

Jacqueline listened and fell silent.

How vicious one could be was beyond her imagination, and Charlotte showed her.

How good one could be was also beyond her imagination, and Joyce showed her.

Luther turned his face away. No one could see the expression on his face, and they could only see that his fingers holding the agreement were trembling slightly.

Mr. Baldwin cleared his throat again and continued, "The second additional condition is that, during the time she was holding the shares, all the proceeds obtained from the shares should all be donated to the orphanage to support various charitable activities."

"Not a penny to spare."

Mr. Baldwin put extra emphasis on it.

"The third additional condition is the most important part of what I'm going to say today, and the reason why I must rush to the hospital."

"Mr. Warner made it very clear in the agreement."

"In the event of her death, if she and Mr. Warner are divorced, the shares should be returned in full to Mr. Warner."

"If she simply disappears and she and Mr. Warner are divorced, the shares should be held by Mr. Warner until Stephanie's case is resolved, and after that, the shares should automatically be returned to Mr. Warner."

"Due to the current situation of Mrs. Warner, I must take this agreement out and also ask Mr. Warner to finalize it."

After Mr. Baldwin finished, he paused for a long time, leaving them enough time to digest the information.

In the VIP ward, a long silence fell.

It was so quiet that even the sound of their breathing was clearly audible.

Luther's breathing, it seemed, was getting more and more rapid.

He seemed unable to stop his body from trembling, and he did not say a word.

He looked at the agreement in his hands quietly, as if he was looking at an unsolvable puzzle.

Between the lines, she was trying to have a clean break with him.

For a long time, he had arrogantly concluded that she approached the Warner family with a purpose. She did everything just to get close to him and to seduce him, for money or for power. Although, he later realized that she was not such a person.

But now that he saw the agreement with his own eyes, it still seemed like a joke, slapping him hard in the face.

Where did he get the confidence? To think that a woman would want to climb on him for his money and power was simply ridiculous.

He was like an idiot.

Joyce had been planning to divorce him for a long time, and has planned for all kinds of situations that would happen after the divorce.

The only purpose was to return the shares to him.

She didn't want a penny from him.

The eight hundred thousand she once borrowed from him was paid back long ago, and the haute couture clothes and the expensive jewelry he bought for her were all left at the Warner residence. Even the Wheel of Fortune, the only accessory she truly liked and would wear everyday, was returned to him.

How could he not understand? She returned the Wheel of Fortune necklace to him, which was the same as returning all their memories at Hill Benjamin to him.

He wanted to find a chance to give it to her, but he lost his memory and he forgot!

He lost all their memories of fighting together at Hill Benjamin!

At this moment, he looked at her graceful signature on the agreement, only to feel that each stroke was like a needle prick, stabbing fiercely into his eyes.
