Cora Yavener had spent two years in France. On the day she returned to China, Evan Lyson brought their son to the airport to meet her.
Evan dutifully took her luggage, then reached to pull her into his arms. Cora sidestepped him without a word and bent to scoop their son, Noah, into her arms.
When they got home, Evan waited until Cora was on the phone, then sent Noah to his room to look for a present. As soon as she hung up, Evan came up behind her, wrapped his arms around her, and pinned her against the door.
Cora kicked him away.
That night, she slept in Noah's room. Evan slipped into bed on the other side of their son. The three of them looked like a happy, harmonious family.
Early the next morning, Evan left for work. After dropping Noah off at school, Cora headed straight to the office.
Her two years at France Headquarters had polished her résumé. Her outstanding performance and exceptional ability had caught the attention of the company's top executives, so when she returned, they promoted her directly to Deputy General Manager, making an exception for her.
Cora spent the day buried in work. Before leaving that afternoon, she went to see the company's legal counsel, Winston Farrell.
"Winnie, draft me a Divorce Agreement. I need it by the weekend."
Winston had always been close to Cora. He'd been planning to take her out to celebrate her promotion, but her request left him staring at her in shock.
"Who's it for, sis?"
"Me."
Winston was stunned, but he didn't dare ask questions. Cora had changed completely since returning from France. She stood just five-foot-six, yet her presence could fill a room. After choosing his words carefully, he finally asked, "Do you want your husband to end up renouncing all property? I have a friend who specializes in Divorce Case law. Just say the word, and he'll make sure you get the assets and keep your son."
