Angus is furious, he can't stand the continuous insult to his mother. He takes the divorce agreement, a quick look and signs it without any hesitation.

Ashley laughs, she is so happy that Angus signed.

"OK, let's go to the court now, Mr. Quinton has arranged everything well, we could get all the documents today. You see? That's how you benefit from the power." She laughs.

Angus sneers,"OK, I want to finish this mess earlier too."

Seeing Angus being so calm, Ashley is angry. Because for her, Angus must be unreasonable and crazy to keep the marriage.

After all, she was so good to him, he won't ever find a girl as good as her after the divorce.

"How can he be so calm?

He must be pretending!" Ashley thinks. She sneers at him in anger.

"You're trying to be cool, huh? OK, let's go. Mr. Quinton will drive us to the court, how about you, loser?" She is trying to show off what Quinton has, to prove it's Angus's loss divorcing her.

But Angus is still calm, "I'll take the taxi, it would be too late."

“Ha, a loser couldn't afford even a car. Let's go darling, I couldn't stay with a poor loser in the same room.” Quinton mocks.

He can't believe that even her parents are laughing at them. He slaved for them so much in the past.

Her parents kiss her goodbye and wish her well, congratulating her on taking the bold step to leave him.

They leave him in the front of the house, to find his way to the court.

Angus sighs and calls an uber.

At this time, his phone rings.

"Hello?" Angus picks the phone.

"Hi Mister Angus Knighton, I am sure that I have the right number." She says.

"I'm sorry, who are you supposed to be?"

"Joanna Wayne." She answers. "Your assistant."

Angus's ears shoot up, he now has a personal assistant?

"Wait, what?" He is astonished. "A personal assistant?"

"Yes, your grandfather sees it fit that his grandson isn't stressed."

Angus can't believe what he is hearing.

"What do I need a personal assistant for? I am not sure I even still have a job with my former employers."

"Why would you need a job when your family is a superfamily?" She chuckles at his silliness.

Angus sighs as he pushes his hair away from his face.

"Listen, Joanna, I don't have anything for you to do."

"I can get you a quick snack, I can kill people too if you want."

"No." Angus finds himself crackling.

But immediately an idea gets into his head and he smiles to himself. Maybe he does have a use for her.

"I have something to do." He says. "I have to be in court in the next two hours. Meet me there afterward"

"What are you in court for?"

"You are such a nosy assistant. Don't be late."

He ends the call and starts to get ready for the court.

He gets there just in time and he sees Ashley together with Mister Quinton.

They give him taunting looks, but he doesn't mind them as they all walk into the court.

The judge is waiting for them, it's a very short session.

Since Angus isn't fighting the divorce, he and Ashley just have to sign a few papers and then they are done.

Divorced. It's such a heavy word for Angus, but he feels like this is the right thing to have done.

Mister Quinton and Ashley kiss in front of him, trying their hardest to get a reaction from him, even the judge looks sorry for him.

They can't keep their hands to themselves and as they leave the courtroom Angus drags his feet after them.

He meets them by the gate. Ashley is leaning on Quinton's expensive car with a smile on her face.

"I know that you were pretending when you came over earlier, you are indeed set to leave me." She mocks. "Well, I am glad that I left you. Look at Quinton's car, you can never own something like this."

Quinton is beside her and he laughs at her insults to Angus.

Immediately there is a loud sound of the engine of a car.

All eyes turn to the gate as a luxury supercar drives into the compound.

It's red and the sun hits it at the right angle to make it glisten.

Before the eyes of everyone, a very beautiful girl steps out of the car in a very daring expensive outfit.

She is putting on cheek glasses that sit pretty on her nose and she catwalks towards the court.

Quinton is looking at her like a dog in heat, he is swallowing his saliva repeatedly.

He lets go of Ashley, to her dismay, and walks to the girl.

Ashley's face turns red with anger. Did Quinton just leave her side to flirt with another woman?!

"Hello, miss, you are very beautiful." He compliments her with a grin. "May I ask what you are doing here? Are you looking for someone, I'm sure it's me."

She walks away from him as if he is so tiny that she couldn't even acknowledge him.

Shame covers Quinton's face as she ignores him.

Angus looks on with a satisfied smile.

The lady catwalks till she gets to him and she takes off her glasses and smiles at him

"There you are," She beams. "I have been waiting outside for a long time!"
