Chapter 10
The maid Sherlyn Frazier hesitated for a moment and instinctively said, “Mr. Ferguson, Mrs. Ferguson left early and are not at home. They haven’t come back yet, so they didn’t ask me to cook.”
“What? Edgar looked at the time repeatedly, then glanced outside at the sky.”
It was evening now, at this time Stephanie was not eating at home, what could one do outside alone?
Won’t deliberately keep waiting for him at the courthouse, just want him to feel sorry and come to accompany her?
Impatiently, he furrowed his brow and changed the subject.
“Did Stephanie bring anything home today? Did she return her gift?”
“Sir, please wait a moment, I will go ask Jayvion.”
Sh
n asked the security guard and when she received a dark red little oook, her hands were shaking.
“Jayvion, are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? How could this divorce certificate possibly be the gift that Mrs. Ferguson sent home to her husband? It must be a mix–up. Why don’t you take another look to see if there’s anything else that was sent back?”
Being questioned like that, Jayvion’s face darkened, but he still double- checked.
“Sherlyn, I really didn’t make a mistake. Today, only one delivery guy came to deliver the package, and it was this divorce certificate. The other delivery guy didn’t see anything, let alone anything else. How could it be

Wrong?”
When this was said, Sherlyn couldn’t believe it but had to believe it. Her phone was almost slipping out of her hand.
On the other end of the phone, Edgar listened to everything and felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his mind going blank.
“How could it be? How could Stephanie’s anniversary gift to me be a divorce certificate?”
He muttered to himself, with a thousand doubts and disbelief in his heart.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and a sense of panic instantly swept over his entire body.
He took a few deep breaths before he finally managed to control his emotions and said sternly:
“Sherlyn, take a closer look at the contents of the divorce certificate, are you sure it’s mine and Stephanie’s divorce certificate? Is she joking with me?”
“I know she was upset because I didn’t spend our anniversary with her today, but joking about divorce is not acceptable! I have told her so many times before that she is my wife and that will never change. What more
does she want to make a fuss about?!”
Sherlyn repeatedly claimed that it was true, and then nervously opened the divorce certificate.
In order to prevent myself from misreading, I also took a photo and sent it to Edgar.
Looking at the solo photo above with the steel stamp and a series of unforgeable numbers, Edgar’s heart trembled fiercely.
The whole person stood frozen in place, almost unable to believe what

they were seeing.
“Stephanie! You really have some nerve, actually going behind my back
and divorcing me. When did I ever agree to that?!”
He gritted his teeth and slammed the table hard.
The delicate vase ornament on the table was shaken and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
Some fragments even cut through Amelia’s skin, leaving just a few small scratches, and she couldn’t help but tear up.
“Edgar…”
Before he could utter a word of complaint, Edgar furrowed his brow, stood up with a stern face, and anxiously tried to leave.
“Amelia, you keep eating. Someone will take you home later. I have urgent matters to attend to and can’t accompany you for now.”
After saying these words, he didn’t even look back at Amelia’s reaction, and just left without a second thought.
Looking at his back, Amelia’s face turned pale and she felt a bit of resentment in her heart.
She pressed on the wound with her hand, feeling the pain, and saw some blood oozing out. Only then did she take a picture to document it and sent it to Edgar.
The other party did not reply for a long time.
The exquisite dishes on the table were somewhat tasteless at the moment.
However, thinking about the content of Edgar’s phone call just now, her mood calmed down slightly.

The medicine that was prepared in advance was not needed, but it didn’t matter either way. At least her goal had been achieved.
