A Moment in Destiny

“Uh! It has something to do with me, heh, you think I am evil, right? Heh...” She sneered twice, “Marley, you are too stupid, you should not have thought of me as some kind person. In this world, no one owes anyone anything. When I owe you something, I will pay it back. Even if I owe you a lot, there will always be a day when I pay you back. I also hoped you won’t think of me as someone who’s super generous or kind.”

Marley was angry again as he grabbed her fiercely. “Sylvie, what exactly do you want? I'm telling you, about our divorce, I won’t allow it!”

At that moment, the phone rang again.

It was still Marley’s phone, and it was still from Jemima.

The building was very quiet. So, the voice from the phone could be heard by Sylvie. Jemima was crying and shouting from the other side of the phone, “Marley, there are reporters around me, I can't do anything, I can't go anywhere...”

The sound of wailing sobs could be immediately heard coming from the phone. Jemima’s voice sounded harsh and sharp to Sylvie’s ears at that moment, like the tip of a knife cutting through her heart, “Marley, I'm so scared...”

Sylvie calmly turned her head over and looked at Marley, then a smile appeared on her face.

Marley was shocked for a moment and he frowned. However, he still said, “Jemima, these matters, if you don’t care about them, they will be left in the past! Reporters are always so pervasive!”

Sylvie’s heart calmed down but she still felt a bit sour in her heart.

“But I haven't eaten anything all day and all night, I'm so hungry. I want to go out, but the reporters are blocking out my home…”

“I'll have someone bring some food to you!” Marley said indifferently.

Sylvie, who had been standing there, watched all this without saying a word.

Finally, Marley hung up the phone.

She calmed down and only talked after a while, “Mr. Marley, you should leave now, you can't afford your time!”

Marley heard the blistering wind in her tone and felt a bit upset, “Sylvie, I noticed that you are very incisive. You are also very petty, aren’t you being too narrow-minded?”

His words were like sharp needles, one by one, they pierced into Sylvie’s heart.

She felt a sour feeling surging up from her heart.

Sylvie gave a cold smile. “I didn't beg you, but you repeatedly came to me. Mr. Marley, please stop talking about these meaningless things, we just need to get a divorce as soon as possible!”

“My father’s heart is in a bad condition; he will get angry when he sees this!” He spoke again.

Sylvie’s body stiffened, and after going silent for a long while, she replied, “This day will come sooner or later! And that's your father, it has nothing to do with me!”

and his voice gradually softened, “If you must get a divorce, I know I can't stop it, I just want you to think
