After the Divorce, Her Heiress Identity Was Revealed

“Miss Quay,your husband is worth hundreds of millions.Are you really willing to leave everything behind?”

Lenora Quay looked at the divorce papers in her hand and nodded.“Of course!”

The lawyer opened his mouth,trying to persuade her.“Miss Quay,your husband is handsome and rich.Except for his little problem with getting lost,he is almost the perfect husband.Are you really not reconsidering?”

Lenora gave a light,bitter smile.Everyone thought that getting lost easily was a small problem.But no one knew how much pain this“small problem”had caused her.

When they got married,he got lost and missed the lucky wedding time,leaving her standing alone at the ceremony.

At her parents’funeral,he went to the wrong hall,embarrassing her in front of everyone.

Last week,when she was in a car accident and in the hospital,she thought she might die on the operating table,but Dale was still wandering around the hospital,lost.

She had told herself countless times that Dale didn’t do it on purpose.He really just couldn’t find his way.

Until the day before yesterday,she ran into him because of a call from an intern.He picked the shortest route perfectly and arrived at the company on time.

At that moment,she suddenly understood something.

Dale had found his perfect solution.

Her thoughts settled.Lenora took the printed divorce papers and replied calmly,“Thank you.I have thought this through.”

After a marriage,it was best to part peacefully.Tonight,New Year’s Eve,she would make one last farewell meal for him.

***

On New Year’s Eve,Lenora threw all the dishes she had spent the whole afternoon preparing into the trash.She knew her directionally challenged husband would not come back.

Ten minutes ago,she had seen a post on the intern’s social media.

[Urgent question:What to do if someone is harassing you?]

Almost at the same time,Dale’s car location was moving in the opposite direction of home.

As the New Year bell rang,Lenora received a New Year greeting from Dale Steele,along with a perfunctory promise.

[Happy New Year.I’ll get back as soon as I can.]

“Miss…”The butler stood nearby,his voice a little nervous.“Should we prepare the car to pick up Mr.Steele?”

Lenora gave a faint,calm smile and stood up to go upstairs.“No need.Everyone,go rest.”

The butler froze.

The servants looked at each other,whispering among themselves.

“Did she really say to let us rest?”

“Mr.Steele is extremely particular about cleanliness and always gets lost when driving.Haven’t we spent countless times searching the city for him before?”

“And tonight is New Year’s Eve,yet she is letting him be outside alone,not worrying that he might not find his way home.”

“She must be completely heartbroken.”

“Actually,it makes sense.A few days ago,she was in a car accident and hospitalized.The hospital is just across the street from the company,yet Mr.Steele still managed to get lost.But when it comes to Miss Megan,it’s like he has a GPS and always arrives ahead of time.”

Lenora pressed her chest where it ached faintly,feeling as if her heart was being squeezed,struggling to breathe.

The servants were right.Dale really was special to Megan.

Lenora had been married to Dale for three years.But at every important moment in Lenora’s life,Dale would get lost and fail to show up.

At their wedding,he missed the lucky hour and left her waiting alone at the ceremony.

At her parents’funeral,he went to the wrong mourning hall and made her lose face in front of everyone.

Last week,when she was hospitalized after a car accident,she thought she might die on the operating table,but Dale was still wandering around the hospital,unable to find the way.

Countless times,she had persuaded herself that Dale did not do it on purpose.He truly had no sense of direction.

Until the day before yesterday,when she saw him because of a phone call from an intern,he chose the shortest route without any mistake and arrived at the company.

Coming back to her thoughts,Lenora looked at the prepared divorce agreement,a self-mocking smile on her lips.Now,she no longer had any reason to deceive herself.

The front door opened,and Megan walked in,supporting Dale.

The man held his injured forehead,and the strong smell of alcohol surrounded him.

“Miss Quay,you’re still awake!”

Seeing Lenora standing at the top of the stairs,Dale looked slightly surprised.“You didn’t have to wait for me.”

In the past,she would have felt sorry seeing him hurt.She would pull Dale over and carefully treat his wound.

But now,after noticing the hint of provocation in Megan’s eyes,she asked calmly,“You promised you would spend New Year’s with me.”

Dale frowned,and a trace of impatience appeared in his voice.“I ran into some trouble.Besides,you know my situation…”

Before he could finish speaking,Megan interrupted with a guilty tone.“I’m sorry,Miss Quay.Mr.Steele was injured because he tried to save me.Please don’t blame him.”

“Did I ask you?Miss Jaslin,at this hour,shouldn’t you be spending time with your family?”

Lenora’s sharp words made Megan feel uneasy.She bit her lower lip,her eyes filling with tears.“I’m sorry.I’ll leave right now.”

After Megan left,Dale threw his coat aside,his face full of irritation.“Are you satisfied now?She is my employee.If she was in danger and I went to help her,what’s wrong with that?Can you stop being so suspicious?It’s really tiring.”

But it was clearly him who kept breaking his own rules for Megan.

Megan was the eldest daughter of the Jaslin Family.She fell in love with Dale at first sight at a banquet and insisted on joining the Steele Group.

At that time,because of the cooperation between the two families,Dale had no choice but to make an exception and hire her.

He was the one who always said that the company did not keep useless people.He was known for being strict and for hating incompetence.Yet when Megan made mistakes again and again and even ruined contracts,he only smiled and let it pass.Whenever Megan needed help,he would always arrive in time to clean up the mess.

Was Lenora really being suspicious?

A bitter feeling rose in Lenora’s throat.After a long moment,she took out the prepared divorce agreement and handed it to him.

“Dale,let’s get divorced.”

“Lenora,we’ll talk about it later.Megan sprained her ankle.I need to go check on her.”

He had just received a message,and his face changed immediately.He had not even heard what Lenora said.

He turned to leave at once.

Lenora’s heart turned completely cold.She grabbed his arm and pushed the agreement and a pen into his hand.

“This is important.Sign it before you go.”

Dale looked anxious.Without even glancing at the document,he quickly scribbled his name on it.

“Alright.Don’t wait for me.Go to sleep first.”

Watching Dale walk farther and farther away,Lenora suddenly tightened her grip on the divorce papers.

After a long moment,she picked up her phone and dialed a mysterious number.

“I agree to return home,but I have one condition.Help me get the divorce paper.”

The man on the other end claimed to be her biological father.A month ago,he came to her with a paternity test.

He said she was only the adopted daughter of the Quay Family.When she was just two years old,she had been taken away and abandoned by their enemies,which was how she eventually ended up with the Quay Family.

When he asked her to move to Hycro City and live with him,she refused because of Dale.

But now,she had figured it out.Holding on to a broken marriage was too painful.Since Dale had found his true love,she chose to let him go.

“Lenora,did something happen to you?With your father here,no one can bully you.”

Hearing the slightly nervous,deep voice from the phone,Lenora closed her eyes for a moment.When she opened them again,her gaze had turned cold.

“I’m fine.Please arrange it as soon as possible.”
