Chapter 421 Make a Deal With the Devil

And I finally understood the root cause of the whole situation - David's feelings for Aaron had reached a point where they could no longer be controlled by reason. He could even tolerate Aaron marrying any woman he didn't love, but he couldn't accept the fact that Aaron was already in love with someone else and would spend the rest of his life with her

Or, in David's fantasy, he and Aaron were in love

But my presence shattered all of this, I was like a third party in his inner world, undermining his mental control over Aaron and throwing his entire world off balance

This made David feel frustrated, and over time, his animosity towards me grew deeper

This absurd yet terrifying realization sent shivers down my spine. You see, I am currently a pregnant woman nearing nine months, and even though I am still agile, Iam no match for David if it came down to using force to resolve certain matters

The demon seemed to read my mind and, while I remained silent, pushed the divorce agreement on the coffee table towards me again, without giving me any more chances to delay

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, but for TWH now, time is money. My suggestion is the best way to save this company at the moment

Olive, don't be so naive and talk about nonsense like love is above everything."

He finished speaking and snorted contemptuously, seemingly waiting for my answer

I felt stiff and unable to move, with his words "Love 1s above everything" echoing in my ears

Yes, as an adult, I think I shouldn't have used this phrase as a motto for life. There are too many things in this world that are more important than love, such as Aaron's hard work, TWH's reputation in the industry, and even whether TWH can continue to exist

If I were smart enough and knew how to weigh the pros and cons, I should have chosen without hesitation to sign this divorce agreement and let David save TWH, at least to preserve the efforts Aaron put into that company

As for my marriage with Aaron, and our

children... I had long been prepared for my children to grow up without a father, hadn't I?

As I thought about this, I suddenly realized that I was thinking along the lines of the conditions given by David, and in an instant, I felt a tingling sensation on my scalp

I should not have been led by this demon!

And just a few months ago, this familiar plot had played out. Arrogantly, I thought I could save TWH by getting a divorce, but it ended up being a big joke

That time, it seemed like I had promised Aaron that I would never take it upon myself to arrange such self-sacrificial scenes again. I would face anything that happened in life together with him

Does it mean that I have to break my promise in Just a few months' time?

I looked at David, who stared at me like an eagle, and my mind was a tangled mess. I couldn't think of a better way to escape from his grasp at that moment. Perhaps a temporary solution wouldn't be considered breaking a promise, as long as there was enough trust between Aaron and me. Even if I were to sign that agreement, Aaron wouldn't be furious like last time

After all, the situation this time was completely different. Now, I had to consider not only my own physical condition but also the safety of my two daughters in my belly

But when making a deal with the devil, it is still necessary to be cautious

"David, I can agree to your request and ask Aaron for a divorce. But you also need to take actions that will make me trust you, right? Since it's a conditional exchange, the form should be the same. Please, as you previously told me, issue a statement in the name of Doctor Ford to clarify things for TWH and sign it with your name."

David clearly did not expect my attitude to change so quickly, and there was even a hint of turning the tables on him, asking him to sign the written document as well

I saw his face visibly change, which was a mix of astonishment and irritation that comes when someone in a position of authority is challenged

But soon, he masked the unpleasant expression with a smile

It seems that I am not the only one who feels tired of this tug-of-war. David also wants to end it quickly, even if he is not happy, this deal will not make him lose out

"Listen, kid, no one can easily negotiate with me, but you're an exception. Consider it as me giving a green light for our past friendship... As long as you sign this divorce agreement, I will immediately write a written statement according to your demands."

David took out a pen and paper in front of me, placed them on the coffee table, and looked at me with a smile

I thought things had developed to this point, and although David was twisted, the agreed conditions were unlikely to change with him. I was confident enough to understand this person, so I picked up the pen and signed my own name

I finally breathed a sigh of relief when David handed me the last signed statement, but he still had no intention of letting me go because the divorce agreement had not yet taken effect, and he needed Aaron's signature

He opened the fax machine and unabashedly told me that this machine would connect to Vega's office in Italy
