The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 932 - 913: This Marriage Must End

After hanging up the phone, Marvin Rafael stood there, silent for a long time.

He couldn’t believe that Ashley Hopper would actually take the initiative to propose a divorce. The Hoppers were like leeches, once they latched on, they were impossible to shake off.

He had prepared himself for being entangled with Ashley Hopper for a lifetime, thinking he’d just get through life this way.

"Sally, did Ashley Hopper say she wants to divorce me?" Marvin Rafael asked in disbelief.

"Yes."

Sienna Johnson was worried Marvin Rafael couldn’t handle the Hoppers on his own, so she sent Sally over as well.

She had written on the small blackboard things that should and shouldn’t be said, which is why Marvin Rafael performed so well just now.

"She actually proposed to divorce me!"

"Do you not want to divorce her?" Sally asked with a indifferent tone.

Marvin Rafael shook his head, still unable to believe it was so easy to get rid of Ashley Hopper, to get rid of the Hoppers,

"Of course not! I really... this is too incredible. Am I dreaming?"

Sally glanced at this pitiable man, thinking that woman called Ashley Hopper was really disastrous.

"It’s not a dream, it’s real! Congratulations, you’ll soon be single again."

"My sister is truly amazing!" Marvin Rafael said excitedly.

Sally wiped the writing off the small blackboard and said, "Madam is so smart, it’s only natural those people can’t outsmart her."

"Right! My sister has been smart since she was little. How could the Hoppers be a match for my sister?"

"..."

"Sally, you go back first. I’m going to the Civil Affairs Bureau!"

"I’ll go with you."

"No need, I can handle the rest myself."

Marvin Rafael really didn’t want outsiders to see something like a divorce, as it was nothing to be proud of.

"Madam is worried they might cause trouble again, so she asked me to accompany you. Let’s go," Sally insisted.

Marvin Rafael scratched his head, unable to refuse Sally’s cold face, so he couldn’t utter the word "no."

"Alright then."

He went to his room, found his household registration book, ID card, and other documents, and drove his East Wind SUV with Sally to Blackwood Town Civil Affairs Bureau.

...

In Blackwood Town, marriages and funerals all required choosing an auspicious date.

Today wasn’t a good day for anything, so the Civil Affairs Bureau was deserted, with only a few staff members chatting and cracking sunflower seeds.

Marvin Rafael arrived early, but didn’t see anyone.

"Sally, do you think Ashley Hopper won’t come?"

Marvin Rafael became anxious after waiting for so long.

He never had much affection for Ashley Hopper, and now with all these troubles, offending his mother and sister, Marvin Rafael just wanted to divorce Ashley and return to his peaceful life.

Sienna Johnson was right, the Hoppers were restless, and getting involved with them would eventually drag him down.

He still had an elderly mother to support, and all he wanted was a stable life. As for the Hoppers, let them cause trouble on their own.

"Don’t worry, Madam is so smart, she said Ashley will divorce you, so she will," Sally reassured him.

Sally looked at this honest man and couldn’t help but sigh.

In Abyanabad, men were the sky, held in the highest regard, while women were of lower status. That Marvin Rafael was pushed to this extent by a woman, Sally... how could she put it? Pity, perhaps.

Half an hour passed and there was still no sign of Ashley. Marvin Rafael was getting anxious and asked Sally, "The time’s up, what do we do now?"

"Call Milton Hopper again. Don’t say much, just tell him there’s another half hour. If they don’t come, then there will be no divorce!"

"Alright."

Marvin Rafael called Milton Hopper. As soon as the call connected, he heard Ashley’s sobbing voice, repeatedly saying, "I won’t divorce, I won’t divorce..."

"Milton, what exactly are you doing? Half an hour has already passed, is your sister coming or not?

I’m giving you another half hour. If you don’t come, then there will be no divorce."

"Please, I’m trying to persuade my sister. Who knew she is so deeply attached to you, even knowing you have nothing, she still refuses to divorce," Milton Hopper mocked.

Milton was also anxious, having finally coaxed Marvin Rafael into agreeing to a divorce, yet Ashley was adamant on not divorcing.

"Fine, if there’s no divorce, then let it drag on for a lifetime!" Marvin Rafael said stubbornly out of spite.

"Brother-in-law, I’ll bring my sister over right away. You wait, don’t leave, okay?"

"I’m giving you another half hour. If you don’t come, then there will be no divorce!" Marvin Rafael said and hung up the phone.

...

At the hospital, Milton Hopper, having been hung up by Marvin Rafael, was in a gloomy mood. His chance to make a fortune had come, yet Ashley was blocking his financial path.

Looking at the woman crying with swollen eyes on the hospital bed, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

"Sis, are you really not planning to divorce?" Milton Hopper asked.

"Milton, I really love Marvin. If I divorce, what if I can’t remarry him? You know that the Rafael Family doesn’t like me."

Ashley now clearly saw that if this marriage ended, it would be difficult to remarry.

If she didn’t divorce, holding the title of Marvin Rafael’s wife, no matter how much she caused trouble, the Rafael Family couldn’t do anything to her.

So, how could she agree to a divorce!

"Sister, you’re really denying me the chance to make money."

Milton Hopper pulled out a knife, causing the Hopper family to scream, "Milton, what are you doing?"

Ashley stared defiantly at the knife flashing with a cold sheen, "Milton, even if you kill me, I won’t divorce!"

Milton, however, held the knife to his own neck, which left the Hopper parents devastated, calling out to their beloved child.

"Milton, what are you doing? Let’s talk it out calmly."

"Mom and Dad, you see it, finally a chance to make money has come my way, your son is about to excel, but big sister is blocking my path to wealth.

If big sister doesn’t love her younger brother, then let me die."

"..."

"Mom and Dad, please take care of big sister after I’m gone!"

Mother Hopper cried out, "Milton, if you die, I won’t live either..."

Mother Hopper turned to Ashley, crying out, "What a sin, how did I give birth to such a debt collector like you, forcing your own brother over a man."

"Mom..."

With a thud, Mother Hopper knelt in front of Ashley, wailing, "Ashley, just agree to your brother.

When we have money in the future, what kind of man can’t you have?"

Father Hopper also said, "Ashley, just go through with the divorce."

"Sis, if you don’t divorce, I’ll die in front of you today!"

Looking at her suicide-threatening brother, her kneeling mother, her sorrowful father, and her indifferent sister, Ashley felt her heart drop into an icy hole, leaving only coldness.

In the end, Ashley nodded.

"Sis, I knew you care for me the most. Don’t worry, after the relocation and we get the money, I’ll find you a man a hundred, a thousand times better than brother-in-law!" Milton Hopper said excitedly.
