Chapter 71 - Let's Just Divorce!

For a moment, Andien thought that the sentence she just said might offend Lisa this time. She lowered her head and didn't flinch.

A few moments later Andien said, "Sorry Lis, I just don't want you to be sick and keep going back and forth to the hospital because of working too hard at the office. I know you are pregnant and your health during pregnancy is definitely a serious concern. So, I really think the choice to stay at home to be a housewife is not a bad thing,"

Andien continued, "I know you want to be a strong woman, Lis, I can understand that. But staying at home and being a housewife is not a weakness in my opinion,"

"I know you're talking like this for my own good, right? But I don't want to burden my husband and I don't want to end up giving up my job, Ndien! My marriage to my husband was also due to an accident!"

Andien looked at her friend with a pitiful face, full of sympathy. No matter how much Andien convinced Lisa that the choice to become a housewife was for Lisa's own good, if Lisa was not determined to become a housewife then Andien would not be able to change Lisa's decision to continue working in the office.

"Well, I'm sorry Lis, I really can't help you with money but I can only help you if you need someone to confide in. I'm always ready to be your trash basket!" Andien said, patting Lisa's shoulder firmly.

Lisa pushed her best friend jokingly and said, "There you go back to work again. Those poor cats still need you to feed them!"

***

After lunch, Lisa returned to the president's room. She bumped into Dani when she walked in the elevator. The man bent down and said, "Miss Lisa, Mr. Oscar is waiting for you at the office!"

Hearing Oscar's name, Lisa's heart was beating so fast she felt like it was going to fall out of her body. Didn't he have a work outside the city? Why did that man come back so soon!?

She was a little afraid that the man would find out that her resignation letter had just been torn in two this morning. A bad feeling started to appear in Lisa's mind.

In front of the president's room door, Lisa silently stared at the doorknob. Her palms were sweaty. Her legs were shaking. Her heartbeat was racing so much that she was a bit gasping for breath.

Lisa then ventured to open the door to the president's room, and saw a golden-haired man sitting with his arms crossed in his chair. The man's face looked displeased. His brows knitted together, his lips creased, and the look in his eyes were terrifying. The atmosphere in the room was very cold and tense.

"Lisa, come in. Don't stand too long at the door!" He said briefly and sharply.

Lisa approached her husband with unsteady steps. She looked down, did not look at the face of her husband who was looking at her with a sour gaze. She really thought her life might end right there.

The man grabbed a folder and took out a piece of paper that was torn in half. The man held it up and showed them to Lisa. "What is this?"

"Is that torn paper, sir?" Lisa replied pretending to be stupid. She tried to change the topic but it didn't work!

"Lisa, didn't I say yesterday that I won't allow you to work in my office from today? Was my explanation last night not clear enough for you!?" Oscar got up from his seat, the man's body was so tall that it overshadowed Lisa who was standing in front of him. The man's aura grew even more terrifying.

Lisa almost lost her breath, her tongue clenched. She was afraid to get a word out of her lips. She still didn't look at her husband's face which looked even more scary.

"Lisa, answer me!" Oscar snapped while still clutching the torn paper.

"Okay, I tore up the resignation letter. Are you satisfied!?" Lisa answered.

"Seriously, Lisa! I am your husband! Why would I try so hard to go out of town and overseas if it wasn't for the sake of providing for you and our unborn child!?"

"You're lying Oscar! I know you used it as an excuse to have an affair with Clara!"

"Don't accuse me of something that isn't true! You have no proof! Look, you are now pregnant and in a few months the child will be born. You as a pregnant mother should know that working too hard is not good for your health and the child in your womb!"

"I see, so you told me to stop working for the sake of this child I was carrying? Not because you really love me?" Lisa said in a high voice.

"Lisa listen to me! I am your husband!"

"No, Oscar! I understand all your rotten and dirty deeds all this time. You only married me because I have your child right? Not only that, you purposely made me a tool to satisfy your sexual desires! Is that the reason you made me your secretary from the start?"

Lisa began to lose control. She was unable to hold back the emotions she had buried for a long time.

"Listen to me, Lisa! If it weren't for the child you are carrying, I wouldn't be telling you to stay home and stop working!" Oscar's voice rose slightly.

The sentence he just said made the atmosphere in the room silent and awkward.

"Oh, then my guess is correct. Oscar, you finally let out the deepest truth from your heart! The real reason why you married me, I already expected it. You really are one bastard Caucasian I've ever met. You've been tricking me all this time, Oscar! Thank you! How about we just divorce? The sooner the better, right? After all, the custody of this child is completely yours, and I am returning to my old life with my mother and sister."

"You really want to divorce me? Is it because you got a better replacemen!? Oh could it be that the man who drove you in that black Mercedes the other day is my replacement?"

"And you can immediately marry a prostitute named Clara! Just go back there! I don't want to live with a cheater like you!" Lisa changed her way of speaking to be very harsh. She snapped at the man, pointing her index finger in front of his face.

Oscar could not help but the emotions boiling inside him. He grabbed Lisa by the collar and pushed her down.

Lisa almost fainted when the man pushed her away. Her ribs felt like it had been hit by a hammer. She held her lower abdomen, there was a slight pain when she fell and her stomach hit the floor.

But since she was burned by her emotions, Lisa immediately got up from her place and punched the man in the face with all her might. This was the first time Lisa beat her husband with the power of anger and the fire of jealousy that engulfed her heart.

"You bastard Caucasian! I don't want to be your wife again!"

"How dare you hit me Lisa!?" The man was surprised, he had never seen Lisa so angry that the woman dared to beat him with her fists. Blood came out from behind his nostrils.

"Oscar Petersson, I really mean my divorce request! You can just beat me until I am battered or angry with me until my ears bleed but if you accuse the guy involved with me in an affair, I can't accept it! You don't know anything about Rangga!"

"Oh, so the name of the boy who drove you back to the house at that time was called Rangga. Wow, you must have had sex with him, huh?" Oscar said, clutching his red nose.

"Rangga is my childhood friend! He's just like my best friend besides Andien! I don't have a special relationship with Rangga!" Lisa was getting more and more furious, her heart felt torn and burned by anger and jealousy to ashes.

"And you, don't you have any relationship with Clara!? You must have banged that bitch, didn't you!?" Lisa's words were getting harsh and heartbreaking. Oscar tried his best not to flinch, he didn't want to answer any questions about Clara.

"Lisa, don't accuse me carelessly! You have no concrete evidence!"

"Okay, do you want me to stop talking about Clara? Easy! Let me work here while we are planning a divorce as soon as possible! My mother and sister still need me! I am responsible for providing for them both since my father abandoned us!" Lisa threatened.

"Lisa, I can support your mother and sister! Is it so hard to ask your husband for money!?"

"Shut up! I am amused when you say that you are my husband! Just look at it, it won't take long before you divorce me. You will marry that bitch Clara after that!" Lisa shrieked, she was so sure that her husband was having an affair with his ex-girlfriend.

"I don't want to accept your money anymore, Oscar. I can work alone, buy my own food, find my own place to live, support my own mother and sister. You don't have to interfere with my family life!"

"You are still my wife before we legally divorced Lisa! You are still my responsibility! Stop all this nonsense and follow my orders!" Oscar snapped.

Lisa lifted her face arrogantly and stared into Oscar's blue eyes. "Listen, I don't want to be indebted to you! Once this child is born, divorce me immediately and let me continue to work here!"

"And what if I don't want to divorce you?" Oscar threatened in a cold and sharp tone.

"Easy, I won't let my womb bear any life!"

Hearing Lisa's sentence just now, Oscar panicked a little and was scared. What if Lisa was going to really abort the child? Oscar's image could be tarnished if people found out that he had impregnated and married his own employee.

"I warn you Lisa, don't you ever try to kill that child! I won't allow you to be reckless like that!"

"No problem! As long as you let me continue working in this office and divorce me immediately!"

Oscar said nothing. He just looked at his wife with annoyed and defeated eyes. He did not think that his wife was this strong and difficult to bend. The man came out of the president's room and got down using the elevator. He rushed to the health room and took some bandages and antiseptic. His nose was still bleeding.

Not long after that, Dani came with several plastic packages filled with ice cubes and handed them to Oscar.

"Boss, you are alright?" the giant politely asked.

"I'm fine, it's just that the woman is starting to lose control of her emotions."

"You had another fight with Miss Lisa?"

Oscar nodded. He put the plastic filled with ice cubes to his nose. His nose felt so painful, but not as painful as Lisa's words when she forced him to divorce her immediately.

"Lisa asked me to divorce her after our child is born," Oscar said.

"Sir, you don't really plan to do it, do you?"

Oscar glanced at his personal assistant with a flat gaze. The man put the plastic ice cubes into the sink.

"Lisa found out about Clara...."
