Chapter 255
Matt lamented over the fact that he had been targeted by Henry, so there was no way he would be able to blackmail Kate anymore. He was also unable to get his revenge because Henry was actually Kate's new boyfriend!2
"How is it possible anyway? How come that stupid, ugly loose bitch is able to hook a handsome man that's younger than her?!" Matt yelled as he found it so frustrating.
Deep in his heart, he already knew the answer. It was because Kate had the quality that no other woman had. She was mature, beautiful, and stable. She also had that soft charm that made you want to get closer to her.
But Matt didn't want a reason. All he wanted was to vent his frustration!
"Aarrgghh! Fuck you, Kate! You loose bitch!" he yelled freely once he was far from the office building because he didn't dare to do it with Henry nearby.
He didn't have money to go home by Taxi. He only had one grand left in his pocket, so he used the subway.
He ignored all the frowns and obvious disgust people made when he entered the subway. He had gotten used to the stares and frowns anyway.
He knew he wasn't exactly the cleanest man on earth, but giving him such a strong reaction only gave Matt the illusion that everyone was just envious of his handsomeness, like he was Keanu Reeves who was very down to earth.
Sometimes when you are too good, you will be met with people who want to knock you down.
Matt lowered his head to avoid making eye contact with any of the passengers on the subway. All on his mind right now was to go home and rest.
This had been such a long day, and he wanted nothing but to take a warm bath and do nothing to recharge for the rest of the week.
As he reached his apartment, he was greeted by the security guard who called him, "Mr. Woods. Mr. Woods!"
Matt stopped on his track and looked toward the security guard.
The man frowned for a few seconds when he noticed the smell, but he quickly fixed his face as he didn't want to be met with a complaint for rude and unprofessional behavior at work.
The security guard handed a document to Matt, "Mr. Woods, you get an important document from the state court."
"State court?" Matt asked back. "What is it all about?"
"I don't know, Sir. I don't dare to pry," the guard replied. He couldn't stand Matt's smell for a long time, so he shoved the document to his chest and said, "E—Excuse me, Sir. I still have things to do."
…
Of course, Matt knew why the guard was in a hurry. But he tried to ignore it because he could do nothing right now except go up and take a bath.
Matt entered his apartment and bathed first before opening whatever document he had from the state court. He needed to clear his head.
Unfortunately, as he closed his eyes under the shower, the lovely conversation between Henry and Kate lingered in his mind.
—
'Did you not punch him, honey?'
'I don't feel like it, Kitty. He is too dirty, and he's such a coward who wet himself just because of a small threat. I don't want to stain my hand.'
—
Matt gritted his teeth. He was angry at Kate and Henry, who dared to look down on him.
He opened his eyes and stared at the white bathroom tiles in front of him. He then clenched his fist and punched it.
"Ouch! Aw! Auuhh!" Matt rubbed his knuckles after the punch. He didn't know that it was so painful. He watched some movies, and the main character often punched the bathroom wall to appease his anger.
Unfortunately, it didn't work for him, and now he was left with aching knuckles.
Matt used his freshly laundered shirt and boxer. It was a nice feeling because it had been a while since he wore a clean shirt. However, he doubted that he could pay for VIP laundry service anymore.
He would have to go and carry his laundry to the nearest coin laundry.
He picked up the document and stared at the seal.
"It really comes from the state court," Matt murmured.
He got nervous, thinking it might be an eviction notice because this apartment was still under Kate's name.
He had been persuading, intimidating, and even tried to guilt trip Kate into putting his name whenever she wanted to buy an apartment. So in case there was a fallout between them, Matt could have an apartment of his own.
Unfortunately, Kate was firm on her decision. She didn't care whether Matt gave him a silent treatment. So everything, including all the apartments that Kate purchased and rented, was under her name.
She also put a lot of money into the stock market, giving her a nice passive income.
It was Matt who thought that Kate was being extremely petty by cutting his and Erin's credit cards. After all, they would only be using up to twenty grand each month from her bank account.
She had a lot more going for her anyway.
"Please, don't let it be an eviction notice. Please, please, please!" Matt prayed as he opened the document and read its first sentence.
-
Divorce Notice.
-
Matt was stunned.
He quickly read the whole document, changing his expression from tense to joy.
He was so happy that he could cry right now!
"OH FUCK!! YES! YESSSSS!" Matt yelled happily as he read the divorce summons from the court. He danced around like an idiot as he finally got his free out-of-jail card!
"Finally! I thought that bitch wouldn't divorce me after so long!" Matt wanted to hug Kate right now, not because he still loved her. That love had been long gone after he realized that Kate couldn't get pregnant, and she also didn't give him all the money she earned.
But with this divorce, his good life was finally guaranteed!
