Who exactly are you putting on a show for ? " she snapped . " Let's be real . If anyone here's dying for this divorce to happen , it's you . Who else could it be ? " Caleb barked , " Was yesterday not enough ? Now you want to throw another fit at the hospital ? " Caroline's tone was icy as she repeated herself . " Just go to the courthouse . Now . " Something seemed to click in Caleb's mind . His jaw clenched , the muscles in his face tightening with fury . Then , without a word , he hurled the divorce agreement to the floor . " You're unbelievable , Caroline ! Really something else . " Michelle glanced at him nervously . " Caleb … " She could feel that he wasn't ready to let Caroline go . That divorce agreement ? Just him lashing out as Caroline 1/9 09:44 Chapter 28 Go to the Courthouse 11 min left pushed his buttons too hard . Caroline scoffed , " What ? Having second thoughts , Caleb ? " Just then , Michelle pulled out a small whistle . Tears glistened in her eyes . " Remember this , Caleb? You and Matthew gave me one . You said if I blew it , you'd protect me . I lost Matthew's when he passed . Caleb , this is all I have left … and you're all I've got . " Caroline rubbed her brow , clearly out of patience . But just then , a faint , broken whistle echoed through the room . Michelle was sobbing as she blew into it . " I know this isn't fair . I know I owe Caroline an apology . But Caleb , without the title of Mrs. Martin , I honestly don't believe you'd stay by my side for the rest of my life . " After hearing that performance , Caroline could hardly stop herself from applauding . A thick silence hung in the room for what felt like forever . Then , Caleb suddenly stood up and stormed out . Caroline knew she'd won . She followed him out , but not before 2/9 09:44 Chapter 28 Go to the Courthouse throwing a smirk over her shoulder at Michelle . " Thanks . " Michelle wiped her tears and muttered , " Idiot . " 11 min left Then , she ripped out her IV , threw on a coat , and rushed after them . " Caleb , I know I shouldn't have followed you . But please , let me be selfish just this once . " Caleb sighed , shaking his head . " What am I gonna do with you ? " The courthouse wasn't far from the hospital . They got there in about fifteen minutes . Caroline had made an appointment , so they didn't have to wait long . The clerk looked at them and then asked Caleb , " So , who are you divorcing ? " Caroline stepped up , papers in hand , smirking . " Come on , just look at how lovey - dovey those two are . Do they look like they're splitting up ? " Hearing that , the clerk gave them a weird look . Michelle , embarrassed , dropped Caleb's hand and hid behind him . 3/9 09:44 Chapter 28 Go to the Courthouse 11 min left As the clerk stamped the papers , she couldn't help but comment , " In ten years here , I've never seen someone bring the mistress to a divorce . " At that , Caroline let out a sharp laugh , unable to hold it in . Michelle , meanwhile , shrank back timidly and tightened her grip on Caleb's hand . Caleb shot Caroline a cold glare , retorting , " You trapped me by getting pregnant and used the baby to force me into marriage … What right do you have to laugh ? " Her wide grin disappeared in an instant , and she sneered , " And who are you to care if a stranger laughs ? " With that , she snatched the finalized papers from the clerk and walked away without looking back . Caleb watched her leave , expressionless . Then , a cold smirk tugged at his lips . Stranger ? Martin Manor isn't a place anyone can just stroll in and out of . Sooner or later , she'll come crawling back , begging for my help . As Caleb passed a trash can , he tossed the divorce certificate in , not even glancing at it . 4/9 09:44 Chapter 28 Go to the Courthouse 10 min left She knew the team didn't have much funding and couldn't afford a fancy office , but even then , she'd thought it would be a decent old building . Staring at the run - down apartment complex , Caroline couldn't help the swirl of emotions in her chest . She asked , " You guys have been working out of this place all along ? " Just as she finished speaking , a rat darted past her foot . William forced a smile , trying to play it cool . " Yeah , I know it's a dump , but the rent is cheap . It's near the food street , and most importantly , it's quiet . " Seth yawned . " Quiet , sure , but it's like a magnet for thieves . I've lost count of how many times our files have been stolen . " " This can't go on , " Caroline said firmly . " We're moving offices next week . " Seth objected , " No way . There's a bug in the game system right now . We're still trying to track it down and fix it . There's no time to move . " Caroline replied , " William and I will handle the bug . I'll sort out a new place in the next couple of days . You guys take a few days off next week and help the movers . " 6/9 09:44 Chapter 28 Go to the Courthouse Everyone looked at her like they'd misheard . Did she just say … days off ? 10 min left Seth jumped up in excitement , only to sit back down , dizzy from too many sleepless nights . " I must be dreaming , " he murmured . Caroline looked at them , feeling a pang in her chest . They've kept Supreme Sword alive all these years while I was gone , giving it everything they had . From now on , I'm going to take it higher than it's ever been . Caroline had saved up quite à bit from her time at the Martin Group . She used most of it to rent an office in a real commercial building . Then , she revived their old Twitter account and started promoting the company herself . Supreme Sword was getting some buzz after their appearance at the international expo and topping the game rankings . But there was a downside . A new bug showed up , and users 7/9 09:44 Chapter 28 Go to the Courthouse 10 min left were not happy . Their Twitter feed got flooded with angry complaints . [ What a trash game . Bugs pop up every other day , and they're slow as hell to fix anything . Do they seriously think they're that good ? ] [ They kinda are . Word is , both the Martin Group and the Garcia Group have made offers . ] [ Yeah , right . I was actually at the international expo that day . A girl from the dev team showed up . Super arrogant . She turned down all the investors like she was hot stuff . I thought she had something up her sleeve , but this ? Total letdown . ] [ I mean , they're a small - time studio that barely has a foothold . Once the user base grew , the bugs started piling up. And they're turning down investments ? Where's that confidence coming from ? ] [ Any recommendations for similar mobile games , though ? ] [ I just got an insider scoop . Word has it that the Martin Group is developing a mobile game just like Supreme Sword . It's gonna be their direct competitor . Give it a year , and it'll be on the market for sure . Can't wait ! ] Caroline paused when she saw that comment . 8/9 09:44 Chapter 28 Go to the Courthouse 10 min left Just then , William called her right away , saying , " I heard the Martin Group is- " " I saw it , " she cut in as her fingers flew over the keyboard .

But for now , nothing mattered more than getting those bugs fixed . In the rush to fix the bugs , she was barely sleeping , working overtime day and night . After two straight weeks of that , she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest during a video call with William and collapsed . Her head hit the desk with a loud thud . William jumped in panic .
