"That's right! You hit the nail on the head. I've been waiting to divorce you every single moment!"
"In the past, in the present and even more so in the future!"
The moment those words left his lips, Everleigh wasted no time in leading the applause and the guests followed suit, clapping and cheering as if they were enjoying a grand performance.
I swept a glance around the room, my lips curving slightly, amusement flickering beneath my calm exterior.
"Since the stage has already been set, it'd be a shame if I didn't play along."
"In that case, I'll listen to you. I agree with the divorce. However..."
The moment I uttered those words, Clyde visibly brightened, excitement flashing in his eyes.
Before I could even finish, he cut in eagerly.
"Azalea, as long as you agree to the divorce, everything else will be easy!"
"Go ahead, name your price. I'll do my best to meet your demands."
I waved a hand dismissively, a knowing smile playing on my lips.
"Clyde, don't be in such a hurry. We can talk about money later."
"Although I've agreed to divorce you, the auction must go on."
