Chapter 9 Cooling-off Period for Divorce

Scarlett picked up her silver fork and tapped it against her water glass, saying casually, "The reason we're gathered here today..."

Sorry, wrong channel.

Let me repeat it.

"Today, I went to the Imperial Court and talked to the Empress about you. I know that you don't like me, you even hate me, and you may even want to kill me behind my back."

Scarlett scanned their faces one by one.

There was surprise, indifference, coldness, and calm as usual.

Having taken in all the changes, Scarlett continued, "So, I told the Queen that I wanted a divorce from you."

"real?!"

Upon hearing about the divorce, Sevia became much more cheerful.

He was desperate for a divorce, but interstellar marriage laws stipulated that males were not eligible to apply for divorce; the decision of whether to stay or leave rested entirely with the female.

He begged Scarlett, but was met with double the torment and dared not mention it again.

Scarlett looked at Saviour and said firmly, "Of course."

fake.

How could she possibly get a divorce?

It's just a delaying tactic.

The original owner's final fate was firmly imprinted in her mind.

If she doesn't divorce him, she'll just have another enemy.

Getting divorced is like handing a knife to your enemy.

She can still tell what is important and what is not.

She was just looking for a breakthrough to change their impression of her, making it easier to win them over.

"However, the Queen Mother said that interstellar marriage laws are quite strict, and if you divorce, you will have to leave with nothing..."

Before Scarlett could finish speaking, Zheko finally said, "Okay."

Money was something external to him; freedom and dignity were more important.

"My income for the next fifty years will also belong to me."

Riley followed suit, "No problem."

The average lifespan of an interstellar orc is three hundred years. Sacrificing fifty years of income for the rest of their life in peace is a sure-fire deal.

"He can never marry another female in his 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 Empress's arranged marriage and his family's pressure, he could have roamed the vast interstellar space.

It would be better if they couldn't remarry.

His family had no reason to force him to marry other females.

A year of marriage had nearly killed him, and he didn't want to waste the other half of his life on another marriage.

"So, the Queen Mother said she'd give me three months to consider..."

Sevia couldn't wait, "No need to think about it, I'm leaving now."

Scarlett glared at him. "Don't interrupt me." Sevier pursed his lips angrily, his cheeks puffing out in frustration. "If they can do it, why can't I?"

Scarlett reached out and pinched his cheek, smiling as she said, "You're picking on the weak."

"Scarlett!"

Sevilla stood up in anger.

Scarlett laughed and said, "Alright, let's get back to the point. If you want a divorce, listen to what I have to say."

Even though she was angry, Sevia sat down obediently, pursed her lips, and listened with a huff.

Scarlett said, "My 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 my fill of fun this year. For the next three months, let's live in peace."

"I'll get a divorce as soon as three months are up."

"Of course, you have to cooperate with me to resolve the public opinion on the StarNet during these three months, otherwise I have the right to cancel the divorce application."

Scarlett picked up her knife and fork, glanced at each one, and said with an air of authority, "If you agree, eat; if you don't, go back and take your nutritional supplements, and you'll have to serve me tonight."

The first sentence was nothing to worry about, but the second sentence was absolutely terrifying.

Without a second thought, I lifted the food cover in front of me.

The aroma of food wafted out, making them eager to eat and their mouths water.

It's real food.

Not blood-soaked companions.

Sevier couldn't believe her eyes.

He thought there was a skinned and gutted live fish under the dish cover.

He had forgotten when he last ate anything.

Throughout the year, Scarlett only gave him nutritional supplements, and they were always the worst-tasting kind.

God knows how uncomfortable he felt every time he ate it.

Sevia is different from others.

He had no job, was an alien, and could only stay in the palace every day, unable to communicate with the outside world.

They suffered the fewest injuries.

They endured the most hardship.

My eyes immediately welled up with tears when I saw food again.

He took a bite.

it is true.

Hot food.

Delicious.

"clang……"

A pearl fell into the plate.

As if sensing something, the other three all looked at Scarlett.

Scarlett choked, quickly stopping herself: "This time it wasn't me who made him cry!"
