Chapter 175 Divorce

“Why can’t I do some investigation about you after you committed something shameless like that?”
Savannah said as if it was a matter of fact.

Helena cast her a glimpse and said, “Savannah, enough.”

Savannah pouted and softened her tone as she was afraid to irritate her mom again, “Mom, I was just
telling the truth.”

Helena still stared at her.

So then Savannah kept her mouth shut.

Steffan now uttered, “Ophelia, please come with me to the study. I have a talk to you.“

Ophelia couldn’t help getting nervous. Helena immediately looked at him, “Ophelia has just discharged
from the hospital. Why don’t you leave the talk for a few days later?”

Steffan smiled, “Helena, don’t worry. It’s just a simple talk. I won’t do anything bad to her.”

But Helena still looked worried. So Ophelia smiled to comfort her, “Helena, don’t worry. Perhaps he has
something important to tell me.”

Then Helena compromised, “Honey, now Ophelia is still pregnant. Don’t say anything harsh to her. I will
come to you for trouble if you scare her!”

Steffan simply replied with a smile.

Ophelia then followed him upstairs to the study.

Steffan pointed at the chair in front of the desk and said, “Take a seat.”



Ophelia replied in a restrained manner still, “Thank you.”

As she sat down, Steffan directly cut into the topic, “Ophelia, I make you here just to have a talk about
the picture. That really annoyed me. And I have ever thought about your divorce with Zachariah. But
now since you are pregnant, I shouldn’t be so cold-blooded.”

Hearing that, Ophelia felt like falling into a frozen abyss. Her face also turned to be pale.

Though Steffan was taciturn, he had always been sagacious. As he could run such a business giant,
Chambers Group, so well, of course he should be a decisive one. So he always got straightforward into
the topic.

Ophelia kept her head down and said, “Mr. Chambers, I am really sorry about the picture. But I can
explain it.”

Steffan waved his hand and continued, “I make you here for your divorce with Zachariah. Here is the
compensation for it.”

Hearing that, Ophelia was rendered ghastly pale. Staring at the brown paper package on the desk, she
stammered, “Mr. Chambers, what do you mean?”

“Ophelia, don’t be mistaken. You are an excellent lady. But I don’t think you fit in the Chambers as my
daughter-in-law.”

Then Steffan continued calmly, “You have married Zachariah for almost five years. And you have been
working so hard to fit in the family. To be honest, in spite of your education and family background, you
did a better job indeed than any other debutantes. However, the two missing parts count much. So…
inside the package you will get your compensation, which consists of a share of the company and one
twentieth of my personal property. That should be enough to sustain you a decent life. As for the baby,
you can make it stay in the Chambers Family.”



Ophelia still stammered, “Can I have a reason for it?”

“I just want Zachariah to marry a lady who could bring him a lot in business.” Steffan said.

Ophelia replied with a bitter smile, “Mr. Chambers, if Zachariah needs such a lady, I can do my best to
shape myself. I have been married for five years. I used to deem that you had already accepted me
even if you didn’t like me.”

Steffan said, “You are a good lady and you have been filial to me and Helena. But your family
background is too indecent. So that’s what makes me discontent. If you have a discerning eyes about
the current situation, you should take the compensation and leave the family after the baby is born. I
am sure that my suggestion would be the best choice for both of you and Zachariah. I still deem Cora
the best match for Zachariah. Though Helen doesn’t like her, I believe that she would still accept her
sooner or later.”

Hearing that, Ophelia felt like being struck hard by a hammer.

She had been working so hard for the five years. She used to deem that at least the Chambers would
not hate her anymore even if they favored her either. However, the fact was that all her efforts had
gone in vain. Steffan was much more cold-blooded than she had ever expected.

Mixed feelings surged up in her mind. But she still forced out a smile, “Dad, I know what you mean. But
the marriage is only the matter between me and Zachariah. So you can’t decide on the divorce. If
Zachariah wanted a divorce, I would not ask for a stay. So I am afraid that I can’t take the
compensation. Or Zachariah would accuse me for being ill-mannered.”

Steffan looked at her, “Ophelia, you are a clever one. So I am sure you should know what is the best
choice for you.”



Ophelia nodded and replied with great honest, “I know. But I still insist that only when Zachariah
chooses to divorce me will I accept it. And I promise I won’t pester him anymore. But I have one
request only.”

A trace of coldness flashed across Zachariah’s eyes. Then he said, “Go ahead.”

“If I were to divorce Zachariah, I would not ask for a penny but a single request only.”

Steffan seemed to be surprised. But soon he returned to be calm while looking at Ophelia for a while as
if he was judging. Then he said, “Just go ahead.”

Ophelia nodded and replied with great honest, “I know. But | still insist that only when Zachariah
chooses to divorce me will | accept it. And | promise | won't pester him anymore. But | have one
request only.”

A trace of coldness flashed across Zachariah’s eyes. Then he said, “Go ahead.”
“If | were to divorce Zachariah, | would not ask for a penny but a single request only.”

Steffan seemed to be surprised. But soon he returned to be calm while looking at Ophelia for a while as
if he was judging. Then he said, “Just go ahead.”
