And Waylen couldn't believe that she'd cooperate with a scumbag like Joseph.

Waylen wanted a gentle wife—not an aggressive one.

His hand, which was making its way up her thigh, suddenly stopped... Because when he stared at Rena, her eyes were glazed over.

She did all these cruel things just to divorce him.

Suddenly, he lost all interest in all of this.

Waylen brought his lips close to her ear, whispering, “Since you want it so badly, then let's divorce. I'm not doing this because of Mavis. I'm doing this because you and I... We really aren't right for each other." ©

After saying that, Waylen pulled away from her.

He climbed into the driver's seat, pulled out a cigarette, and then lit it wordlessly.

Mavis was still outside, banging on the car door and crying.

The couple inside the car, on the other hand, were deathly silent.

After straightening up her dress, Rena slowly sat up. She knew that she had crossed the line with Waylen. Mavis wasn't only taboo to Rena, but also to him...

He probably wanted to keep Mavis innocent and clean forever.

But Rena had destroyed Mavis right in front of him.

Rena sat in the backseat quietly, reflecting on what just happened. Waylen probably hated her to the core now.

After what felt like an eternity, Waylen finished his cigarette.

‘Smoke filled the car. He spoke in a voice so strange, Rena wondered if he was dreaming.

“When | get back from my business trip, we'll sign the divorce agreement.”

Later that week, the media reported that Waylen was romantically involved with someone in Heron. @

It was a young actress.

They showed up at the same event and were seen together multiple times.

The young actress even went so far as to post online that she was seeing someone, and Waylen didn't clarify it. He just let the news spread until it hit the headlines...

Of course, Rena caught wind of the scandal.
