Chapter 98 Chapter 98: We Couldn't Stop Her
Estelle bit her lips and didn’t say anything.
James then asked, “How did Cristofer get the package that you sent? He intercepted it?”
“I didn’t know,” Estelle uttered in a surprised tone.
At this time, Rebecca sighed and said, “He didn’t seem to intercept it on purpose. When you were in the emergency room that day, his assistant called him and said that the package was returned because you addressed it wrongly. And that day, his assistant opened the package and played the recordings for Cristofer.”
‘So, Cristofer got the package accidentally and listened to the recordings?’ Thinking of this, Estelle was a little helpless and depressed.
‘It seems that fate always plays tricks on me. If Cristofer had known the truth when I was still hopeful of reconciling with him, our relationship wouldn’t have come to this. Now, I have given up on him, but fate let him know everything. We are going to get divorced. What’s the point of knowing it now?’
At this time, Rebecca said, “When Cristofer heard the recordings that day, his expression was so scary that I was a little frightened.”
“He...” Estelle opened and shut her mouth, not knowing what to say.
After a few seconds, she changed the topic and said to James on the phone, “Mr. Harris, please help me complete the divorce procedures as soon as possible.”
“No problem. You have been separated from Cristofer for a year. If he is unwilling to get divorced, you will have to wait for another year at most. According to the law, you can initiate divorce proceedings after two years of separation. Anyway, you will be able to divorce him sooner or later,” James assured her.
“I see. That’s great then,” Estelle replied softly.
‘Do I really have to wait for another year? But I don’t know if I can live until next year.’
After Estelle hung up the phone, Rebecca walked to the window, looked out and said, “Estelle, Cristofer is still downstairs. He has been soaked to the skin.”
Without replying to her, Estelle made a phone call.
When she got through, Peter’s voice came from the other end of the line.
“Hi, this is Peter.”
“Hi, Peter. This is Estelle. It seems that we haven’t contacted for a long time,” Estelle said with a smile.
Peter also smiled and quickly affirmed, “Yes. Because of some reason, I am no longer in Mr. Hans’ employ, so I didn’t follow up on your divorce case. Miss Hudson, it seems that you are in good condition. Congratulations.”
“Thank you. But to be honest, I still don’t know how long I can live,” Estelle said. “Well, I’m calling to ask if you still hold the divorce agreement between Cristofer and me?”
“Yes. Mr. Hans hasn’t asked me to give it back to him yet,” Peter replied firmly.
“The authorization that you two signed when he entrusted our divorce case to you is legally effective, right?” Estelle asked.
Hearing this, Peter immediately knew what she meant and asked, “Miss Hudson, have you agreed to get divorced?”
“Yes, I have. I hope I can divorce Cristofer immediately. Although you are no longer in Cristofer’ employ, I... Could you please do me a favour and go to the Court to complete the divorce procedures with me? I will pay you.”
Peter hesitated for a while and said, “Miss Hudson, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but... I can’t do that without Mr. Hans’ permission. Besides, I have my own difficulties now, and I can’t contact him again. I’m sorry.”
Estelle asked in puzzlement, “Why can’t you contact Cristofer?”
“I can’t tell you the reason. I can only tell you that I was targeted by someone before because I know too much about you and Mr. Hans. That person told me that Mrs. Moorsum died because she knew what she shouldn’t know. I was very scared at that time, so I left Hadale.”
Estelle instantly guessed who he was referring to. “Did Gretchen threaten you?”
After a pause, Peter said helplessly, “All I could say was I can’t contact Mr. Hans now. Miss Hudson, I can send the divorce agreement to you if you need it. Except for this, I really can’t do anything more for you.”
Estelle didn’t want to force him, so she said, “I see, Peter. I’m sorry to get you involved in this matter.”
“Miss Hudson, live for yourself and your children for the rest of your life. I wish you a speedy recovery,” Peter said sincerely.
“Thank you, Peter.”
After hanging up the phone, Estelle felt powerless and was lost in thought.
‘Peter helped me sign the informed consent before Yohan had a stem cell transplant. After that, I fell into a coma and underwent lung surgery. Since then, I have never seen him again. It turned out that he had left Hadale.’
‘The one who threatened him must be Gretchen. She is always a person with no scruples. To get what she wants, she even dared to kill Mrs Moorsum ruthlessly, not to mention threaten Peter.’
‘Peter is so unlucky…’
“Estelle, are you still unable to get divorced for the time being?” Rebecca walked to the bed and asked.
Estelle shook her head and said helplessly, “No. But it doesn’t matter. At the worst, I will have to wait for another year. I just hope I’m still alive until next year.”
In the CEO Office of Hans International Corporation, Vincent was looking for Yohan, as Cristofer had asked.
He searched for Yohan in the immigration record information System, but there was no arrival record or departure record about Yohan. Then he checked the entrance records of all kindergartens and schools in Ameris but still couldn’t find any information.
For a moment, he didn’t know how he could find Yohan.
Suddenly, his phone rang, and he received a call from the front desk.
As soon as he answered the phone, the receptionist’s anxious voice came from the other end of the line, “Vincent, Miss Abrams is here, and she has gone to the CEO’s office. We couldn’t stop her!”
Hearing this, Vincent frowned and couldn’t help but feel more distracted.
Although she hadn’t married him, Gretchen always regarded herself as Cristofer’ wife. And all the employees in the company knew about her relationship with Cristofer, so they were very respectful to her.
Since Cristofer and Vincent blocked her, she had been calling the company every day to look for Cristofer. And whenever she asked where Cristofer was, Vincent would fob her off with various excuses.
