After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael)

Chapter 16 His Principles

Chloe's fingers trembled. "Sorry."

Michael looked down at her playfully, and her long eyelashes fluttered like butterflies.

"Did you do it deliberately?"

"What?"

Not understanding what Michael meant, Chloe glanced up at him, and his eyes seemed to have magic in them, like vortices.

She held her breath, and her heart skipped a beat.

Even when they fell out, she still couldn't help but be attracted to him.

She hurriedly unbuttoned the last button of his shirt and opened the bathroom door behind her. "You can handle the rest by yourself!"

Without waiting for Michael's reply, Chloe fled in panic.

Unexpectedly, she met Wendy's teasing gaze.

Chloe couldn't explain and remained silent.

Soon, Michael came out of the bathroom.

He was still handsome even in a sack, let alone a decent piece of clothing.

Wendy was extremely pleased with how these clothes looked on

him.

After chatting with Wendy for a while, Chloe found it difficult to keep pretending to be in love with Michael and claimed she had to leave for an urgent reason.

After coming out of the hospital, Chloe breathed a sigh of relief.

Glancing at Michael beside her, she calmly distanced herself from him.

Michael said in a deep voice, "If you want to visit Wendy in the future, just tell me in advance."

Wendy was also his elder now, and it was only natural for them to visit her together.

He felt that he had made it clear enough. As long as Chloe didn't make a fuss in the future, they could continue the marriage.

But Chloe pondered that it was ridiculous and whether he had ever taken her requests seriously.

"Why should I inform you? You always refuse because of working overtime or having other commitments and then ask me to be more sensible and not cause you any trouble." Chapter 16 His Principles

Now, they were feigning affection as a couple.

Chloe's words made Michael frown in displeasure. He was indeed busy when she called him before.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and said patiently, "I will try to make time to accompany you. Your resignation letter hasn't been approved yet, so you still have a chance to regret it. Lucy told me that she would forgive you for the past. Don't be so petty. Go back to work."

Chloe chuckled.

She wondered why Michael was free today to check her schedule and come over to spend some time with Wendy.

It turned out that it was because of her resignation.

That made sense. He only sought her out for critical issues, and if he took the initiative, it meant he was hoping for a compromise from her.

His principles never change, even in sex.

Chloe could no longer suppress her temper. She lifted her gaze and said sarcastically, "I didn't do anything wrong. Why do I need Lucy to forgive me?"

"As the chief steward, you didn't attend the meeting and instead left a letter of resignation somehow. On Lucy's first day at the company, was that your way to steal the limelight?" Chapter 16 His Principles

Michael frowned. Her eloquence annoyed him even more.

He pondered why she couldn't be obedient.

4/4

Chloe thought that her broken heart would remain unaffected.

But it still hurt a lot.

She wondered, "He condescended coming here and spent his time and energy acting with me because I had offended Lucy and embarrassed her at Paramount Airlines that day.

What about me? Does he care?"

"Since I've submitted my resignation letter, I have no intention of going back.

I am determined to quit the job and break up with you. I won't go back on my word. Mr. Shawn, please set a date for the divorce as soon as possible so that we can complete the formalities." Since Michael intended to protect Lucy, Chloe would give him

freedom.

"Chloe, if I divorce you, you won't get a penny except for the divorce decree."

Chapter 17 Money Talks

Michael was furious.

Today, he came here to offer Chloe an opportunity to give up the divorce and to suggest that she return to work instead of acting on impulse.

Unexpectedly, she didn't appreciate it and remained stubborn.

He thought, "Isn't she anxious to divorce me for the other half of the couple's joint property?"

"Besides working in Paramount Airlines, what else can you do? Once we get divorced, you won't be able to survive for a month without money or ability."

"You don't need to worry about these things."

Michael's sent a chill down Chloe's spine..

It turned out that, in his eyes, she had always been a parasite that depended on him and couldn't live without him.

"Alright. If you're determined to shun a life of luxury and seek out trouble, I'll assist you. I'll have Ethan prepare the contract tomorrow. Let's meet at the courthouse next Monday morning!" Michael frowned, and his eyes grew cold. Then, he got into the car and left.

Chloe felt very upset. She raised her hand and hailed an empty taxi back to Candy's residence.

Candy looked at her, whose hands shook from anger, and teased, "Why, did you meet Michael again?"

"Yes. We'll get a divorce next Monday."

Candy raised her eyebrows. "I hope you can complete the formalities this time."

Chloe was confident that they would definitely get it done. Before she could speak, Candy turned the laptop screen on the table toward her.

"The firewall you installed is effective. Now, it seems that we have a target to track."

Chloe changed into slippers and sat down. The data displayed on the computer all pointed to Shawn Heavy Industries.

Therefore, the person who planted a secret mole in Ben's company and wanted to control Bano Group was Michael.

In fact, Chloe could roughly guess it. After all, in the Shawn family, Michael and Ben had always been fighting openly and secretly.

They just feigned harmony in front of Admas.

"Package the data and send it all to Ben."

"Are you really willing to go against your husband?"

Although Ben's methods were much weaker than Michael's, a real fight would definitely consume energy and financial

resources.

3/4

Chloe had been eager to protect Michael. Candy wondered if she was willing to take the initiative to stir up disputes between them.

After quickly pressing a few times on the keyboard, Chloe pressed Enter and sent everything to Ben's private email without hesitation.

"The one who is against him is Ben. I just transferred the data. Money talks. Isn't that right?"

Candy gave Chloe a thumbs up. "Awesome!"

Chloe rose. "Continue to take orders for me in the name of

Jioleek."

Once the divorce was settled, she would have to rely on herself

and thus had to restart her previous career slowly.

Besides, she wanted to show Michael her abilities!

"Are you officially back?"

"If I am not, you won't be able to track down any mole."

Chloe's retort displeased Candy.

4/4

When it came to hacking skills, Candy was naturally far less talented than Chloe.

If it hadn't been for Michael back then, Chloe would have already made a fortune with her skills.

"It is your incredible abilities that convince me to follow you. Leave this to me. Are you free to go and visit the houses I asked you to look at last time?"

Chloe thought this was a good idea. The different living environments would help to change her mood.
