In a desperate attempt to win Charlie’s mercy, Leann had dropped to her knees, repeatedly banging her head against the ground until it swelled. Unfortunately for her, Charlie waspletely unimpressed.


    Charlie was well aware of Leann’s true nature.


    She was nothing short of a brute! In fact, her maliciousness surpassed even that of his mother-inw, ine.


    Though ine had always wished for his wife, ire, to marry a wealthy man, she had never considered marrying her daughter off to someone who already had a child.


    Leann, on the other hand, was willing to pressure her son into fathering another’s child simply for a dowry of fifty million dors. She was utterly shameless and devoid of any integrity.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie was convinced that her current disy of remorse was not genuine but merely a reaction to her circumstances.


    If he were to grant this woman another opportunity, she would surely treat Isabe even worse in the future.


    Thus, Charlie resolved to offer her only one option: she must divorce David and would be banned from returning to Aurous Hill forever!


    Meanwhile, David was experiencing a whirlwind of emotions.


    He watched his wife, Leann, on the verge of copsing from her relentless sobbing.


    Yet, Charlie remained unfazed.<fn2ac1> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? find~novel</fn2ac1>


    It appeared that there was no way Charlie would retract his demands.


    As a result, David felt he had no choice but to proceed with marrying Mr. Ward’s daughter.


    However, upon reflection, this might not be such a bad oue for David.


    Even after years together, he had lost all affection for Leann.


    While Mr. Ward’s daughter might not be particrly beautiful, she was young, and for a man of David’s age, that was a significant advantage.


    Shortly after, Don Albert arrived with Caesar and several others, ready to escort David, Leann, and Grant’s daughter, Skye, to the Civil Affairs Bureau to finalize both the divorce and the marriage.


    Steve desperately wished to intervene, but he recognized his inability to do so, resigning himself to the situation.


    As he witnessed his mother being dragged into the car by several burly men, tears welled up in his eyes.


    Just then, Charlie turned to him and remarked, “You and Isabe haven’t obtained your marriage certificate yet, have you?”


    Steve quickly nodded, responding respectfully, “No, not yet. My family has always been against it and insisted we wait until after the wedding to discuss getting the certificate.”


    Charlie waved his hand, saying, “That’s perfect. You and Isabe should go get your marriage certificate today. You can return here to hold your wedding afterward.”


    Steve felt somewhat embarrassed. If he held his wedding today, wouldn’t he be celebrating alongside the ‘new couple’—his own father and future stepmother?


    Seeing Steve hesitate, Charlie pressed, “Isabe has already distanced herself from her family for you. Shouldn’t you both get your marriage certificate as soon as possible to give her peace of mind?”


    Upon hearing this, Steve feltpelled to act quickly. He immediately agreed, eximing, “Alright, Master Wade! We’ll go get our marriage certificates right away!”


    “That’s the spirit,” Charlie said with satisfaction. “Now hurry and go with Isabe. Come back as soon as you have your certificate. I’m looking forward to your wedding banquet.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
