Chapter 9 Divorce Cooling-off Period
Scarlett picked up the silver fork and tapped the water glass, pretending to be relaxed and said, "The reason why we are gathered here today..."
Sorry, I'm off track.
Say it again.
"Today, I went to the Imperial Court and talked to the Queen Mother about you. I know you all dislike me, and even hate me. You may even want to kill me behind my back."
Scarlett scanned their faces one by one.
There was surprise, indifference, indifference, and calmness as usual.
After taking in all the changes, Scarlett continued, "So, I told my mother that I wanted to divorce you."
"real?!"
When Sylvia heard about the divorce, she became cheerful.
He was almost going crazy wanting a divorce, but the interstellar marriage law stipulated that males were not eligible to apply for divorce, and the decision to stay or go was entirely made by the female.
He had begged Scarlett, but all he got in return was double the torture, so he didn't dare mention it again.
Scarlett looked at Sylvia and said firmly, "Of course."
Fake.
How could she get divorced?
It's a delaying tactic.
The original owner's final outcome was firmly imprinted in her mind.
If she doesn't divorce, she will just have more enemies.
Getting divorced is like handing a knife to your enemy.
She still knows what is important and what is not.
She was just looking for a breakthrough to change their impression of her and make it easier to conquer them.
"But, the Queen Mother said that the marriage laws in this interstellar space are quite strict. If you divorce, you will need to leave the house..."
Before Scarlett could finish her words, Dzeko finally spoke: "Okay."
Money is just a material thing to him; freedom and dignity are more important.
"The income for the next fifty years will also belong to me."
Riley followed closely, "No problem."
The average lifespan of interstellar orcs is 300 years. Sacrificing 50 years of income in exchange for the remaining safety is a sure-win deal no matter how you look at it.
"You can't marry another female in your lifetime."
Chi Ye sneered, "Ha, after marrying you once, who would dare to marry you a second time?"
He never thought about getting married.
If it weren't for the Queen's arranged marriage and his family's pressure, he could have roamed the vast interstellar space.
It's better not to remarry.
The family has no reason to force him to marry other females.
A year of marriage took half of his life, and he didn't want to ruin the other half of his life in another marriage.
"So, the Queen Mother said, give me three months to think about it..."
Sevilla couldn't wait, "Don't think about it, I'll leave now."
Scarlett glanced at him and said, "Don't interrupt me."
Sylvia pursed her lips in anger, her cheeks puffed up with anger, "If they can do it, why can't I?"
Scarlett reached out and pinched his cheek, smiling and saying, "You're picking on the weak."
"Scarlett!"
Sevilla stood up angrily.
Scarlett laughed, "Okay, let's get back to the topic. If you want a divorce, just listen to me."
When she said that, even though Sevilla was angry, he still sat down obediently, pursed his lips, and listened angrily.
Scarlett said: "The Queen Mother gave me a three-month cooling-off period for divorce. If I still want a divorce after three months, she will order the dissolution of our marriage."
"I've had enough fun this year. Let's live in peace for the next three months."
"As soon as the three months are up, we'll get a divorce."
"Of course, during these three months, you must cooperate with me to resolve the public opinion on Starnet, otherwise I have the right to cancel the divorce application."
Scarlett picked up the knife and fork, glanced at each other, and said with considerable authority, "If you agree, then eat. If you don't agree, go back and take the nutritional supplements, and sleep with me tonight."
No one cares about the first sentence, but the second sentence is really scary.
Without thinking, he lifted the cover of the dish in front of him.
The aroma of food wafted out, making their appetites whet and their mouths water.
It's real food.
Not a bloody companion.
Sevilla couldn't believe his eyes.
He thought there was a live fish with its skin and tendons removed under the vegetable cover.
He couldn't remember the last time he ate.
During this year, Scarlett only gave him nutritional supplements, and they were the worst tasting kind.
God knows how uncomfortable it is to eat him every time.
Sevilla is different from the others.
He has no job and is an alien. He can only stay in the palace every day and cannot communicate with the outside world.
The least injured.
But they suffer the most.
When I saw food again, my eyes suddenly became red.
Took a bite.
It's true.
Hot food.
Very delicious.
"clang……"
A pearl fell onto the plate.
The other three seemed to have sensed something and all looked at Scarlett.
Scarlett choked and quickly stopped: "It wasn't me who made him cry this time!"
