However, Nathaniel held back, not wanting to disrupt the current atmosphere between them.
The car soon arrived at the entrance of the company. Cecilia stepped out of the car and bid farewell to Nathaniel.
Lucille happened to be downstairs collecting a parcel when she witnessed this scene.
She was also quite the gossip–monger. She jogged over to Cecilia, asking, “Ceci, did Mr. Rainsworth drop you off?”
Without denying, Cecilia nodded. “Yes.”
She looked at the massive pile of couriered documents in Lucille’s arms, curiosity piqued. “What’s all this about?” she asked.
“These are all contracts.”
After Lucille finished answering, she added, “Oh! By the way, Maddie asked me to tell you that she took the morning off today to go to the City Hall.”
“Really? Didn’t Darren disagree?”
Cecilia, too, couldn’t curb her own curiosity.
The two individuals strolled along, engaging in conversation as they went.
“I’m not sure, but it seems like the call came early this morning, asking her to go.”
“All right. We’ll know once she returns.”
Madeline had been waiting at the entrance of the City Hall since early morning, anxious that Darren might change his mind and not show up.
She paced anxiously, keeping a close eye on the time. “Almost an hour has passed. Why hasn’t he arrived yet?”
What she didn’t know was that in the shadows, a man sat in a black Bentley, his face twisted in utmost
displeasure.
Along with Darren, Zachary was also present.
Zachary was growing somewhat impatient. “Darren, it’s been over two hours already. How much longer are you planning to wait?”
They had arrived early in the morning, even before Madeline. After their arrival, they had been waiting there the whole time.
Madeline arrived, but Darren didn’t bother to get out of the car. He just kept watching he
Darren remained silent.
Zachary was running out of patience. He had spent the previous night drinking with him, only to be

“Some things must be confronted. Go and make things clear with her,” Zachary said.
Darren glanced back at Zachary with a chilling gaze. “Keep your mouth shut.”

Zachary didn’t think he deserved that. He sighed, leaned back on his chair, and started scrolling through his phone.
He had seen the public opinion about Cecilia a couple of days ago. He had also purchased some online traffic and sought help from others to assist in clearing Cecilia’s name.
The scene on the internet was finally much better that day.
Just as he was engrossed in watching videos of beautiful women, the ringing of Darren’s phone interrupted him. Upon seeing the caller, Darren immediately answered the phone.
It was Madeline who called, sounding rather annoyed as she asked, “Haven’t you arrived yet? You’re already an hour past the agreed time.”
Darren was genuinely annoyed. This woman is truly eager to get a divorce, pressuring me like this.
“Something unexpected came up at work today. Let’s reschedule,” he said.
“Reschedule? When are you going to do this? I also have a job now. I can’t just take leave whenever I want.” Madeline was getting anxious.
Having waited there for an hour, all she received was that response.
“You can’t even manage to take time off. How could you possibly take care of Amy?” Darren’s voice was cold and distant. “Regardless, I can’t make it today. If you’re considering divorce, then just wait!”
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Zachary was somewhat taken aback. “Why did you lie? Are you not getting a divorce anymore?”
Darren didn’t want to divorce at all, but he uttered pridefully, “It’s not that I won’t divorce her. It’s just that I can’t let her off so easily. Today, I made her stand and wait for an hour as a lesson to her.”
Zachary was at a loss for words.
It was the first time Zachary had seen someone discipline another in such a manner. Standing for an hour as a punishment? Since I’ve been sitting here for over two hours, am I being punished as well?
Madeline stood at the entrance of the City Hall, fuming with frustration.
However, she didn’t have any other options. All she could do was hail a taxi and head toward the office.
Darren sat in the car, his gaze fixed on her every move.
In the past, Madeline would never hail a taxi. To be more precise, she didn’t know how to hail a taxi whenever she was out and about. At that moment, however, she had mastered it all.
