Chapter 164

Camille picked up the document. The words "Divorce Agreement" stared back at her in bold letters.

The first clause granted Damien full custody of Chloe. Pages of asset divisions followed, detailing everything he was offering her.

She'd been meaning to ask about their divorce proceedings.

Now, skimming through the papers without reading thoroughly, she slid them back across the table. "I have no objections."

Her hand reached into her purse for a pen.

When Camille had married Damien, her methods hadn't been entirely ethical.

Though neither Damien nor Arlo thought highly of her, they'd witnessed her devotion to him over the years.

Given her deep love, Arlo expected tears, protests - anything but this calm acceptance.

Yet here she was, not even contesting custody of their daughter.

Arlo turned to Damien, stunned.

Damien's dark eyes studied Camille, his expression inscrutable. Clearly, he hadn't anticipated this either.

Just as her pen touched paper, Camille hesitated. She withdrew it.

Arlo smirked. Here it comes-

"I'll have my lawyer review this tomorrow," she said. "If everything checks out, I'll sign within two days and have them contact you."

The agreement listed generous assets, including shares from Damien's company.

Her initial divorce proposal had asked for nothing.

But now that he offered, she wouldn't refuse. Their marriage might have been loveless, but he'd never sabotaged her.

Still, she hesitated.

Potential loopholes worried her.

If his company faced trouble later, those shares could make her a scapegoat.

Damien might not intend harm now, but she couldn't trust Selene not to exploit any vulnerabilities.

Damien seemed taken aback by her caution. After a pause, he nodded. "Fine."

Camille tucked the papers into her bag, zipped it shut, and left without another word.

Arlo stared after her. "Is she sick?"

Damien watched until she disappeared down the hall. "I don't know."

"She didn't even blink about Chloe. That's not normal."

A muscle twitched in Damien's jaw. "Hmm."

"Does she not want custody? Impossible! Chloe's her entire world!"

Suddenly, Arlo's eyes narrowed. "Wait - did you two already discuss this privately?"

Damien's expression darkened. "No. We never spoke about it."

"Then what the hell just happened?"
