Chapter 12 Emily turned around and saw Everett , who looked pale . He staggered toward her . His eyes were cold and fierce , his whole body covered in blood , but he stared hard at Emily .

" Elliott clenched his fist and was about to step forward . Emily grabbed his sleeve , " I'll talk to him . " Elliott stared at Everett for a while . When he saw Everett wasn't doing anything crazy , he felt a bit relieved and took a few steps back . " Why , Emily , you spoke . " " Say it ! " Everett stumbled closer .

" You say it ! " " Three years of marriage and you just ended it like that , what were you even after ?! " Emily watched him for quite a while before she figured out why he was acting so weird .

Emily looked at him , her tone flat . " Everett , weren't you looking forward to this day too ? " " I knew you were sick of me too and couldn't wait to get out of this marriage , so I took the divorce papers you threw at me before , signed them , and sent them to the courthouse . Everett never knew that one sentence could make the blood in his chest freeze . His voice trembled . " Why didn't you tell me ? " Emily laughed out loud at what he said . " Didn't I tell you ? " " I even showed you my divorce certificate myself . " ནད་ ཅནར་ རང་ ནང་ བ་ ནང་ ས་ Everett's breath suddenly caught .

" Emily lifted her chin , her red lips curling into a mocking smile . " The important thing was , we were already divorced , you could go after your Jessica , who I was with had nothing to do with you , we owed each other nothing .

He had taken five lashes , and now the wounds hurt like they were splitting open . Blood soaked through his shirt and spread into dark red patches on the carpet . " Rhett , what else did you want ... Emily already told you really clearly ! " " When you got married , you didn't treat her right . Now look at you , who are you trying to show off to !
