In Revenge, I Married My Ex-Fiancé’s UncleChapter 1

Avery's POV

The ninety-ninth time Stanley Haynes’s little secretary accidentally booked us for a divorce registration instead of a marriage license, I stormed into his office.

“Stanley, this is what you call the ‘value’ of a graduate from a top university? If she can’t even handle this, just fire her already!”

Stanley finally lifted his head from the pile of documents, glanced at the screen on my phone, and said flatly, “I told you from the start, she’s too highly educated for this kind of menial work. If you’ve got time to argue with me, you might as well go and make the appointment yourself. It’d be faster that way.”

He didn’t even bother looking at me as he said it.

So I just kept my mouth shut, walked straight out, and texted my dad.

[Dad, I don’t want Stanley anymore.]

What Stanley didn’t know was that the only reason he’d been chosen as heir to his family was because of our engagement. If that arrangement fell apart, there were plenty of others ready to take his place.
