Chapter 195

The humiliation in the car that night would be a scar she would never forget for the rest of her life.

But she still said it in front of him.

While mocking Michael, she also hurt herself.

But she had to remind herself that she absolutely couldn't make the same mistake again.

Michael was just a bad man.

A thoroughly bad man.

If she gave her heart away again, she would be helping him ruin herself.

"Isabella, do you really have to say these things?"

Michael's face darkened. He knew she was feeling bad, and so was he.

Seeing her appear in front of him wearing Nolan's clothes, he completely lost control.

His mind went blank at that moment, and he couldn't hear any sound.

After sobering up, he sat in the car regretting and hitting himself.

He didn't expect her to forgive him. She could hit him, scold him, but he didn't want her to keep bringing up this matter as a topic.

Isabella tilted her head, her face expressionless, "Mr. Brown, you were so high and mighty. You did it, and I can't even talk about it?"

Michael was completely speechless.

He had hurt her, and hurt her deeply. It was all his fault.

"Isabella, I was wrong that night. I apologize to you. You can ask me to do anything, but can we not bring this up again in the future?"

Michael sincerely repented to her.

But to Isabella, these words sounded like a high-handed charity from an abuser.

He wasn't the one who was hurt, so of course, he could not mention it. He could even apologize and pretend it never happened.

How simple.

He could turn around and continue being the president of the Brown Group as if nothing had happened.

Only she had been suffering for a whole week, unable to escape that nightmare even in her dreams.

But she didn't argue with him anymore, just lowered her head and spoke calmly.

"Fine, if you say not to mention it, then we won't mention it."

"Anyway, I have nothing to care about anymore."

She didn't want Michael anymore, so what was there to care about?

She had seen through Michael.

She didn't want to waste time with him anymore.

Michael didn't expect Isabella to agree so easily, and his heart started pounding.

"So, you're willing to forgive me?"

Isabella raised her eyebrows and quickly nodded.

But her next words made Michael's face turn from excitement to gloom.

"As long as you divorce me completely, I will forgive you."

"Not only will I forgive you for this, but I also won't hold a grudge for your absence over the past three years. From now on, you can find your beauties, and I'll live my new life. How about that?"

To her, it was a painful memory. He said not to mention it, as if she was still as easy to bully as before?

Didn't he want her forgiveness?

The person she least wanted to see now was him. As long as he stayed far away from her, she could forget him and forget that night.

"I don't agree!"

Michael had calculated everything, but he didn't expect Isabella to use divorce as a condition to forget that night in the car.

"Don't forget, we just promised Daniel that not only would we not divorce, but we would also have a child soon. Don't even think about divorce. I won't agree."

Michael clenched his fists on the table.

He was very clear about his feelings for Isabella. He would never divorce and let the woman he loved fall into another man's arms.

It was all because of Nolan.

If Nolan hadn't suddenly returned to the country, Isabella wouldn't have put all her thoughts on Nolan and abandoned him as her husband.

"I really don't understand what you're struggling with?"

Isabella looked at Michael in confusion, "We lost our feelings a long time ago. What's the point of staying together? It's better to let go of each other early, fulfilling both you and me."

The reason she could sit here and talk to him calmly now.

Besides their marriage, the common interests of both families were also a major factor.

If they could part amicably and minimize the impact on public opinion, it would be good for both of them.

If it really got out, not only would both groups' reputations be damaged, but it would also affect future business.

So, even if they divorced, they had to give each other a decent appearance.

"Michael, I'm also thinking for you. You like Violet, and she likes you. As long as we divorce, you can rightfully bring her to your side. Isn't that good?"

Isabella's words were reasonable.

Every point she made was for his consideration. She didn't even show a bit of jealousy or bitterness when mentioning his future wife.

Even she found it incredible.

In the past, just thinking about it would make her heart ache, but now she felt no more ripples in her heart.

The only thought left in her mind was to separate from Michael completely.

She didn't want to appear in his life anymore.

"Have you said enough?"

Michael had been holding back, listening to her analyze their marriage to pieces.

Then pushing him towards Violet.

Did he really mean nothing to her?

She said she didn't want him, and she kicked him to Violet like garbage?

He closed his eyes, suppressing the pain in his eyes. He didn't want her to see his vulnerability.

"Isabella, if you don't care about our feelings, why do you insist on divorcing me?"

"I said, I never planned to divorce. Even if I die first, all my assets will be yours. Why do you insist on separating from me?"

Michael wanted to use his assets to make Isabella compromise.

But he was wrong.

Isabella never cared about money, especially Michael's money.

He never really understood her.

She chuckled, "Michael, you're really willing to do anything to avoid divorce, even offering your assets after death to tie me down?"

"But I can only say that your idea is completely wrong. Even if you give me your personal assets or the entire Brown Group, I wouldn't care because all I want is to leave you!"

Michael's face turned pale.

Isabella's words were like arrows piercing him. She would rather give up everything to separate from him.

Did she hate him that much?

But Michael wouldn't let her go just like that. If she didn't care about the Brown Family's money, he would use other conditions to keep her.

"You don't want money, so how about I give you freedom?"

Michael took a deep breath, looking into Isabella's eyes and promising her, "I promise you, from now on, I won't interfere with your social interactions. Just stay away from Nolan."

"Why?"

Isabella directly rejected this condition!

To her, she had known Nolan longer than Michael.

For so many years, Nolan had been her friend and brother, caring for and looking after her.

She was grateful to Nolan.

Why should she cut ties with Nolan just because of Michael's words?
