Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 216 I Am Quite Happy When He Died

Colette’s expression softened a lot when she heard these words. “I knew it must be Peytie bothering you. Peytie, you heard it too, now go pack your things and come home with me.”

Colette reached out and grabbed Peyton’s hand. “I was just a little excited, don’t take what I said to heart. I’m doing this for your own good too. Since we’re divorced, we shouldn’t stay connected. It’s not good for anyone…”

Peyton pushed away her hand. “You’re right. When you get divorced, you should completely cut off all ties. Even if your ex is on their deathbed, there’s no need to go and take a look.”

Colette was taken aback because she had indeed not made any effort to visit Kason after returning to her home country.

“Are you blaming me for this? When I came back then, your father was in the ICU, and the hospital didn’t allow visitors.”

Her explanation made Peyton find it even more ridiculous. “Ms. Stuart, I really wonder if you have a conscience at all. When the Stuart family was on the verge of bankruptcy, it was my father who stepped in to save them. If you didn’t want to marry him, he would have waited for you. And when you did marry him, it was unwillingly, and you even felt ashamed of this marriage. But what did my father do wrong to you? As soon as you truly fell in love, you left him completely. And my father has still not remarried. In this world, you can blame anyone, except my father. You don’t deserve him.”

Peyton’s words made Colette blush. Peyton almost called her a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

After finishing speaking, Peyton looked back at Nolan. “I didn’t do anything wrong, why are you firing me?”

Nolan looked at her coldly and said, “You have caused quite a lot of trouble in just a few days since you joined the company, which has affected the company’s image. The Dalton Group doesn’t need employees like you. I will have the HR department compensate you three times your salary as stated in the contract. You can settle it outside.”

Peyton was seething with anger. She never expected such a thing to happen just when she was about to uncover the truth.

She had just told Nolan that they had nothing to do with each other anymore. At this moment, she couldn’t even utter a single soft word.

Nolan gazed at her stoic face and said meaningfully, “Isn’t this what you wanted?”

Peyton clenched his fist tightly, but eventually he loosened it.

“Yes, I understood.”

Colette achieved her goal. Her face instantly softened.

“Peytie, if you ever need money, just let me know. The Chase family has a lot of properties, so whatever you like, Elbert can arrange it for you.”

“I couldn’t keep up.” Peyton nodded slightly to Nolan, then left without looking back.

Back in Group C, everyone looked at her with scrutiny, curiosity, and even a hint of schadenfreude.
