Alice Turner knew very well that Charlotte Shaw was pretending to be ignorant, but she couldn’t pretend with the person on the other end of the phone. She had to make things clear; it wouldn’t be good for anyone if the matter was misunderstood.

"Sis! I’ve already divorced Benjamin Shaw, but don’t worry, I will always think of you as a friend, as a sister." She not only emphasized her divorce to the person on the other end of the phone but also reiterated that she considers her as a friend-like sister, not just a sister-in-law.

Charlotte Shaw had already learned about the divorce from Isla Lane, and she called to try to persuade Alice, but before she could say anything she had prepared, she heard Alice’s words clarifying their relationship.

Alice’s attitude was resolute. Although Charlotte couldn’t see her in person, she could clearly sense it.

The other party only regarded her as a friend, and no longer as a sister-in-law.

"Alice! Is there really no chance between you and Benjamin?" In her heart, she knew she was doing something pointless, but she asked unwillingly nonetheless.

"Absolutely impossible."

When Alice said this, she deliberately raised her voice and emphasized her tone, not just for the person on the phone, but also for the one beside her to hear.

Even though she had expected this result, Charlotte couldn’t help but sigh, "It’s such a pity, I thought you’d be my sister-in-law for life."

Ugh! It’s all her useless brother’s fault for not cherishing such a good wife; she really didn’t know what her brother was thinking.

"We can only be friends from now on." Alice felt no regret and no sadness in her heart. She had always treated the person on the other end of the phone as a friend and never as a real sister-in-law.

Having talked to this point, anything Charlotte said would be meaningless, "It seems it has to be this way."

She initially wanted to help her brother save this marriage, but after saying these words, she suddenly changed her mind.

If neither of the two involved wanted to save the marriage, her efforts would be futile. Even if forced back together, it would still end in separation. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Since they had no feelings for each other, it was better to set them free and let each find their own happiness.

At that moment, Charlotte suddenly understood and made a silent decision in her heart not to help persuade her parents to push Benjamin and Alice to remarry.

Instead of wasting time on this futile task, it would be better to persuade her parents not to interfere in their children’s marriages anymore.

Alice momentarily didn’t know what to say, and as she stayed silent, the atmosphere on both sides of the call started to become awkward.

"Let’s end our conversation here for today. You’re busy, so we can chat again when you have time." After a long silence, Charlotte was the first to break the awkward atmosphere.

Hearing this, Alice quickly replied in agreement, "Okay! Let’s chat when we have time."

After saying goodbye to each other, they both hung up the phone.

"Thomas Fisher! Drive!"

Alice was stowing her phone into her bag while urging Thomas to drive. Not hearing any movement from him for a while, she curiously tilted her head to look over, only to find his enlarged handsome face suddenly in front of her, causing her to instinctively pull back.
