In the presidents office, Lucas Townshend stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the miniature of the city in the sunlight.
His dark eyes were slightly deep, his thin lips pursed, cold and restrained. A cigarette burned between his fingers, and the smoke and gloom swirled around him, spreading a touch of loneliness.
"Knock knock knock!"
The crisp knock on the door broke through the quiet of the room, causing his eyebrows to suddenly twist, and then slowly relax.
"Come in."
His deep voice was a bit hoarse.
He turned and walked to the desk, extinguishing the cigarette between his fingers in the ashtray.
As soon as Natalie Rivers pushed the door open, she saw the side face that once made her infatuated, which made her slightly lost. Just like the first time she saw him.
All the prepared rhetoric was blocked at the throat at this moment, and she couldnt say a word.
After a long wait without hearing any sound, Lucas Townshend raised his head, his dark eyes looking at the person standing at the door, just slightly converging, as if he was not surprised.
In fact, he already knew as soon as she stepped into the gates of Townshend Corporation.
But...
When his gaze collided with her nostalgic eyes, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his eyes were a clear and indifferent.
The office was quiet and silent, but Natalie Rivers heart broke like a silver bottle breaking when she touched the cold color in his eyes.
She should have known it would be like this.
Gently biting her lip, her hand holding the bag tightened and loosened, she took a deep breath: "Lucas Townshend, lets talk."
"Besides divorce, Mrs. Lucas, what else do you want to talk about?" The light and faint voice was as cold as ever.
A voice without any emotion "Mrs. Lucas" made Natalie Rivers heart tremble.
Mrs. Lucas?
Ah, how ironic.
He has harmed her family to the point of ruin, and at this time, he can still sit here calmly and call her Mrs. Lucas.
This "Mrs. Lucas", she cant bear it.
Once this identity made her so happy, now it is so embarrassing and hateful!
She should hate him, but what she hates more is herself.
If it wasnt for her stubbornness back then, how could there be todays miserable situation?
Everything is just her own fault.
"If, in exchange for the 30% equity of Townshend Corporation in my name?" Natalie Rivers stepped forward, her gaze tightly locked on him, and there was a bit of aggressive momentum.
His eyes suddenly shrank, Lucas Townshend paused, looked up from the document, and his eyes were slightly cold: "Do you think my wife, Lucas Townshend, is something you can do if you want, and you can easily get rid of if you dont want to? Or do you think that my wife, Lucas Townshend, can be bought and sold with shares?"
Feeling her pressing gaze, he pursed his thin lips, pulled out a document and moved it forward, his voice low and sharp: "If you dont understand what 30% of the Townshend Corporations equity represents, I dont mind if you read it and make a decision."
Looking at the document handed to the edge of the table by his bony fingers, Natalie Rivers just glanced at it uninterestedly, and then moved her gaze back to the man in front of the desk.
"How can you agree to divorce?" Natalie Rivers almost gnashed her teeth!
It was full of anger in her heart, but facing the man in front of her who was as cold as frost, there was no way to vent, and she could only let this anger spread in her heart and burn her heart.
"Divorce?"
Lucas Townshend suddenly laughed.
He stood up and walked to Natalie Rivers, pinched her jaw with one hand, forcing her to look at himself, looking down at her with his deep and dark eyes, the corners of his lips were cold: "Natalie Rivers, give up on this idea!"
