Divorced but Delighted

Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Draven’s Misunderstanding

“You even scolded your husband. When I heard this, my heart broke.”

The man who spoke came in dressed in a beige suit like Harold. He wore a pair of gold–rimmed glasses and had a very refined temperament.

“Hi, Colton.” Cierra smiled and stood up to greet Colton.

“Hi, Cierra. Just sit down.”

Colton raised his hand to let Cierra sit down. He also sat down next to Fanny. Then, Colton opened the thermos he brought over and handed it to Fanny.

“Come and drink it. You’ve been busy all night. You must be tired.”

As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma of the soup was pervasive in the lounge.

Yet, Fanny said, “Why did you bring this at night? I don’t want to gain weight anymore. And you even used my thermos to store the soup. How could you do that?”

Fanny criticized Colton. Yet, she reached out to take it and sipped it.

Colton smiled with satisfaction and massaged Fanny’s shoulders. “You’re so thin now. You should gain some weight. You don’t care about your own body. I used the thermos because you can’t drink

too much.”

Cierra, who was at the side, silently watched the scene, and her lips curved into a sweet smile.

Cierra was also surprised that Fanny behaved so differently in front of Colton.

When a strong woman was in front of her lover, she would also be gentle and act coquettishly.

Probably because Fanny knew that it was not good for them to be intimate in front of Cierra, especially when Cierra was heartbroken by Draven, Fanny slapped away Colton’s hand and said,

“Don’t do this.”

Colton was not angry. He still smiled. “By the way, what were you talking about just now? Why did you scold Harold and me?”

They sat and chatted. Cierra then told Colton what had happened just now. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After Colton heard this, he became much more serious.

“If you want to divorce, you can’t delay it anymore. Cici, you have suffered. You can’t fall into the

trap again.”

Colton thought, although the late Ernest made up the match, if Cierra did not like Draven back then,

Ernest would not force her.

Therefore, to a certain extent, Draven is also a victim.

But anyway, Draven has gone too far with Cici. As a man, I cannot speak up for him. What’s worse, he has bullied Cici.

Cierra did not know whether to laugh or cry at the reactions of Fanny and Colton. “It’s not I who don’t want to divorce him. I want to divorce him as soon as possible. It’s Draven who delays it.”

Cierra thought, he proposed to divorce me, and he is delaying it now. What’s wrong with him?

“He is delaying it. Is he unwilling to divorce you?”

Fanny and Colton said in unison, and their expressions were almost the same.

Cierra nodded. “Yes, he misunderstood my relationship with William. He thought that I was in a relationship with William for money. He said that he would sign the divorce agreement after I broke up with William. But it doesn’t matter to me. Can wait. He has a sweetheart waiting for him. We will definitely get divorced.”

Fanny sneered, “He’s such a hypocrite!”

Fanny thought, if he really had such good intentions, why would he leave Cici overseas for three years without paying any attention to her? He even hired assassinates to kill her.

Colton pinched his glasses. He looked serious. “If he really thinks like that, it’s fine. However, I’m afraid he has other thoughts. But, since you can get divorced, let’s wait and see.”

Cierra nodded.

I’m not in a hurry. The one who should be anxious should be Aleah., thought Cierra.

“Hey, you’re all here.”

The open door of the lounge was knocked on. William and Harold came.

Holding fruit and snacks, the two of them greeted others before putting down the things and taking

a seat.

William brought a large stack of contracts and handed them to Cierra, who was sitting next to him. “Here, Cierra, take a look. If there are no problems, sign it.”

The contract was about Entrustment Design Studio, but there was more than one contract.

Apart from XR Entertainment, there were several other Cierra’s cousins‘ companies. They were all non–exclusive license agreements.

In other words, the design of Entrustment Design Studio could be used by several companies.

In the end, Entrustment Design Studio could get 60 percent of the net profit from the transaction.

This was very lucrative for Clerra.

Cierra was dumbfounded and roughly flipped through the contracts.

“Why are there so many of them? William, didn’t we agree to sign a contract with you?”

They could use the popularity of the fashion dinner to publicize the contract tonight. This was their original plan.

“Here’s the thing, Cierra. Our companies all need original designers. For example, the company of David and me need the skins of the game characters or the characters‘ pendants made of jewelry. So, we discussed with William and drew up this non–exclusive agreement.”

William thought of the attack on him in the chat group. So, William did not want to speak. The one who explained was Harold.

After Harold finished speaking, Harold didn’t forget to remind William. “Am I right, William?”

“Yes!” William nodded.

William thought, these guys didn’t want me to use Cierra’s designs alone and forced me to give in!

“I see.”

Cierra was stunned, but there was no problem with the contracts and Harold’s explanation.

She picked up a pen and signed a few contracts.

“Thank you for taking care of me in the future!”

“Since it’s a non–exclusive license agreement, why don’t you count me in? The designers in my company have almost burned out. With the help of Sylvia, I can also have good designs.”

Fanny added.

“Fanny, you also want to give me money. Then, I’ll take it!” Cierra joked.

The contracts were signed, and the news was released during the break of the fashion show.

Since these companies were in different industries, the news only listed XR Entertainment,. Oakperry Game, and Fanny’s Charm Fashion. The others were omitted.

Even so, it caused a stir in the scene.

In the midst of people’s discussion, Draven stood up with a cold face and left. “Let’s go.”

“Do we just leave like that? The fashion show hasn’t finished,” complained Ryan as he cast a reluctant glance at the models on the stage. Yet, Ryan still followed Draven.

Ryan thought, Draven doesn’t like this kind of occasion. He has come over to meet a designer.

However, in the end, he did not even see her. He must be in a bad mood.

Rayan followed behind Draven. “Draven, you don’t have to be too discouraged. The designer, Sylvia, has signed contracts with three companies at a time. You still have a chance.”

“Do you think it’s possible?”

Draven paused and glanced at Ryan.

Sylvia did not agree to renew the contract even when the Trevino Group raised the price three times. After that, Draven could not contact Sylvia anymore. Now, Sylvia had signed contracts with other companies.

It was obvious that Sylvia did not want to cooperate with the Trevino Group.

What puzzled Draven the most was that he still had no idea how he had offended this designer,

Sylvia.

“Then will you just let her go?” Ryan also knew the result.

Draven nodded, and he gradually eased up.

“There are not many design drafts that Entrustment Design Studio gives us every year. Renewing the contract with the studio is good for the Trevino Group. But it’s not the only choice for me. I came here personally for two reasons. First, it is because the designer, Sylvia, is a talent. It is a pity to let go. Second, she has helped me, so I should try my best to keep her.”

But obviously, Draven didn’t have the chance to talk to Sylvia now.

Draven looked up, and his eyes suddenly sank.

Ryan followed behind Draven and muttered, “But we haven’t seen her yet. You still have a chance…”

Before Ryan finished speaking, Ryan raised his head, seeing Draven turn around and walk quickly in another direction.

“Hey, where are you going? Isn’t the exit over there?”
