Chapter 22
The moment Damien said that, Karen and Ava were stunned.
The doctor quickly lowered his head and fled. “Damien, what do you mean?” Karen immediately asked. Damien didn’t say anything. He grabbed Ava’s arm and left, dragging her behind him. His movements were as rough as ever, and his strides were huge. Ava could barely keep up with him.
He only stopped walking after they got out of the hospital. Ava’s face and arms were covered with red marks after being slapped by Karen and held down by the bodyguards just now. Together with the injury Damien caused her in the car, her whole body was covered with wounds. Damien gave her a profound look. He said nothing, let go of her, and walked towards the parking lot. Ava quickly followed him. “What did you mean when you said that you’ve never touched her?” Damien didn’t answer her question. He walked over to his car and opened the door. Ava gritted her teeth and summoned her courage to stop him from getting into the car.
“Damien, can you clarify things? What on earth is going on?”
“Idiot.”
He sneered. He then shoved her away, entered the car, and sped off. Ava tried to chase after his car but failed. After thinking about it, she went back to the hospital. Before she could reach Beth’s ward, Selden held her back. “Selden? Why are you in the gynecology department?” “I’m here for you.” Selden had obviously come just to stop Ava after he heard about what happened.
“I have something to ask Beth.” “Wait a moment! I suggest you not to go there right now, or you might be hurt in the process.”

She had never liked you, and now that Beth is done for, she would probably let out her anger on you too.” It was obvious that Selden knew everything that was going on in the Radbury family. “Beth pretended to be pregnant, and she had bribed a few doctors in our hospital to play

folder from his briefcase, opened it, and put it in front of Ava. “What’s this?” Ava’s heart skipped a beat. She thought that Damien was handing her a divorce agreement. However, although it wasn’t a divorce agreement, there wasn’t much difference between the document in front of her and a divorce agreement. Ava glanced at it. It was a document that said that she would voluntarily relinquish all her shares in Radbury Group. “What do you mean by this?” “After signing this, you won’t have to go to the shareholders’ meeting tomorrow. It would only be an embarrassment.”

it to me.” “What?” “The divorce agreement. I’ll sign it.” Ava gritted her teeth. For a fleeting moment, Damien’s expression changed. But he quickly plastered a cold expression over his face again. He took the agreement that Ava
Ava was stunned, and she became even more puzzled. “Damien, let’s get a divorce. I agree to a divorce,” she muttered underneath her breath. However, Damien left without turning back, let alone give her an answer.
The next day, Radbury Group’s shareholders’ meeting was held as plan. And Damien only returned home late at night. Ava thought that as usual, Damien wouldn’t come back. Hence, she went to sleep without waiting for him. She was awakened in the early hours of the morning, and when she turned around, the pungent scent of alcohol filled her nostrils.
He was drunk again. Throughout the two years of their marriage, he would never come home unless the servants carried him back when he was drunk. Most of the time, he would be spending the night with some random woman.
Ava moved aside to make room for him. The bed was big, but the moment Damien lay on the bed, he clung on to Ava. “Ava, you’re trying to run away, huh… In your dreams.” He was so drunk that he was muttering unintelligibly, and he wrapped his right arm so tightly around her waist that she couldn’t move at all.
She had no choice but to pry away his fingers one by one. This was when his cell phone screen lit up. Even though Ava didn’t do it intentionally, she saw what
was on the screen.
It was a text message.
“I had a really pleasant time with you today, Hopefully we’ll get to go on a date again in the future.”
