Chapter 449 Divorce

Jiang took her seat next to Antonio, next to her sat Peter and surprisingly Mia who just arrived with a very sullen look plastered on her face. Her husband left their home early in the morning and did not even inform her that Jiang Yue would visit the mansion today. Good thing her uncle got a hold of the information from his close friend, Mr. Quan and was able to inform her immediately.

Now that she was here, Mia could not help but grit her teeth in irritation. Her husband did not even spare a single minute unto her. He was looking and talking amiably with everyone except Mia. Is he trying to ignore her now that the Ruiz Family is already in ruins? Mia instantly shook her head. This cannot happen. Peter loved her. They had known each other since they were children, he could not possibly change overnight just because of her family background.

"Jiang Yue as the next matriarch it is better for you to know the businessmen that we are close with," Antonio said while closely observing Jiang Yue’s expression. After last night, everyone already learned that Jiang Yue attacked them so she could be the next matriarch. That is the only plausible reason that they could think of.

"I’m sorry?" It was Mia, her words interrupted the seemingly calm environment around everyone. "What future matriarch? She is not married. According to the rules..."

"What rules?" Antonio smiled at Mia. "Mia darling, we don’t break any rules. We made them..." he made a deliberate pause as his gaze turned serious. "then we make any changes to adapt to the current situations."

Mia felt goosebumps all over her body as she stared at the old man in front of her. "What are you trying to say?"

"I was merely speaking of rules. Speaking of which. " Antonio gestured someone to gave Mia a folder. "This was supposed to be a happy event. But considering your appearance, I would not waste any time and let you know what the family had decided overnight."

Everyone’s gazes turned towards Mia as she opened the folder and shivered, tears instantly pooled in her eyes as she looked at Peter. "You want to have a divorce?"

Peter who did not even spare her a glance a while ago, turned his gaze towards Mia. "I do. I don’t think our marriage will continue without the feelings that we used to have. I don’t intend to do this in front of the Elders but I don’t want you to create more trouble for Yue’er."

"Yue’er!?" Mia yelled as fury roared through her mind. He is even calling her nicknames now? How could this man changed overnight? "Are you doing this because of what happened to my grandfather?"

Disbelief clouded her eyes as Peter’s face did not even cracked at her words. "Mia, we already know since a long time ago that this marriage would fail. We don’t have feelings towards each other. I think you really should just sign the divorce papers and avoid more embarrassment. Don’t worry. I will compensate you. Moreover, you are still young and beautiful. I’m sure you can still find someone that would marry you and accompany you until you grow old."

"How dare you!" Mia got up from her seat and throws away the documents on Peter’s face. She was already quivering from her anger. "Just last night you treated me as your queen and yet, now after deeming me as useless, you throw me away like a dirty rug! How dare you, Peter!?"

"Mia calm yourself. This is not a place where you can throw your tantrums." Antonio said gently, however, his voice was full of venom. A warning for Mia that she is inside the Vercello’s estate.

"This does not concern you!" Mia snapped at Antonio, surprising everyone. "Days ago you planned to use me to ruined Jiang Yue. Now you are throwing me away because you think I’m useless?" Mia scoffed before turning her attention at Jiang Yue.

"I will kill you." She declared while thinking about the retaliation plan that her grandfather already came up with. "I will kill you and your man and you will regret coming in here and disturbing my marriage!"

"Mia you cannot just threaten the future matriarch of the Vercello Family!" Peter scolded. His tone was righteous and honest.

"Ah... so this is all because of her, right?" Mia went livid. "You wanted a divorce so you could become the patriarch? Is this it?"

"Make her calm down," Antonio ordered one of the guards upon sensing that Mia would not stop berating Jiang Yue and Peter. He could not have this woman ruined everything that they are trying to accomplished. He then looked at Peter. "Go and talk to your wife."

In response, Peter nodded and followed the guard that took Mia.

"You think you are so smart? You wait until I kill your man! I can’t wait to watch you cry later today! Hahaha..." Mia’s shouts echoed inside the house as she was dragged by the guards followed by Peter.
