Chapter 74
“Mrs. Alita.” Ois admired Alita’s courage. How many people could have the courage to give up 50% of the shares, an astronomical figure that no one could resist? At the same time, she was giving up the luxurious life here, the wealth and glory. What kind of pain had she experienced to make her willingly abandon all this for freedom?
Alita smiled and said calmly. “Thank you”
Marcelo and the others save that Otis had not acted for a long time, fearing that Alita might change her mind. They pressured him to draft the stock transfer agreement eagerly.
Samuel lowered his eyes, smiling gently. He was not surprised that she gave up the shares because he understood her personality. What surprised him was that she finally figured it out and was determined to leave this family. He thought, “Well done, Alia!
Kim was shaken internally, staring at Alita at this moment. He staldenly realized that he had misunderstood her all along. Da*n him for not seeing her pain. He had been blaming and hating her, thinking she had become ruthless for money. However, she was still the same as before and never changed.
It was his mistake. All along, he had been wrong about her!
Time is up, Jaydon. Let’s sign Alita knew he would ultimately choose 40% of the shares. This man would never give up half of his power for her.
Jaydon clenched his fist with a hint of ruthlessness in his saddened green eyes. “Alita, how could you command me? What are you? How dare you talk conditions with me?”
“After you finish cursing, make a decision. He straightforward, don’t beat around the bush, Alita remained calin, wearing a smile on her face
“Do you think you can escape? The more you want to leave, the less I’ll let you go. Give up on that idea. I won’t let you leave Jaydon was afraid of the days without her, but his pride prevented him from saying these words. He couldn’t let go of his
Taking a deep b
breath, Alita said, “Alright! Since you don’t want the 50% of the shares, I’ll give them all to Samuel
The Lewis family was once again in an uproar, trying to persuade Jaydon to let go of his stubbornness.
Samuel stood there with a faint smile as if Alita’s words had nothing to do with him.
“Shut up, all of you!” Jaydon was on the verge of exploding from their incessant clamor, roaring in anger.
The group of people were frightened by him and did not dare to speak anymore.
Alita calmly said, “Jaydon, if you don’t let me go, I will join force with Samuel and push you off the stage. With 50% plus 20%, that’s 70% of the shares. What will you be then? You have 10 seconds to consider. If you don’t sign, I’ll transfer the shares
to Samuel
Jaydon glared furiously at Alita as if his gaze alone could shatter her into pieces.
“Jaydon. I’m begging you. Sign it” Marcelo placed the transfer document in front of him, handed him the pen, and begged Jaydon. He was resolute in preventing the Lewis family from falling into the hands of these two outsiders.
Witnessing this, everyone else also begged Jaydon eagerly. “Jaydon, please sign it

The buzzing in Jaydon’s ears intensified. Everywhere he turned, the voices echoed, urging him to sign.
Alita gazed calmly into his green eyes, starting to count, “10, 9, 87, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. She held her breath, looking deeply at Jaydon, surprised that he could go this far just to trap her.
Jaydon, what are you waiting for?”
Jaydon.”
Jaydon wasn’t going insane, but it seemed like everyone else was on the verge. The fate of the Lewis family’s future rested on his decision.
In the end, Jaydon held his breath, signed his name in with a flourish on the paper, and forcefully slammed the pen down. He kicked away the coffee table in front of him and left the hall with a stern, almost terrifying expression.
Alita watched him leave, feeling an extreme sense of relief, yet also an emptiness. Nothing was left.
Finally, their relationship was over. They could stop tormenting each other, finally free to pursue the lives they wanted.
The people in the living room retrieved the transfer document from under the coffee table and handed it to Alita. “It’s your turn to sign!”
།
Alita coldly looked at these people, took the paper, stood up, and said to Otis, “Please wait for me a moment. I’ll be right back after going upstairs.”
“Of course, Mrs. Alita Otis nodded respectfully.
“This might be the last time you address me this way.” Alita said with a pleasant smile, but a subtle drizzle of emotions started to moisten her heart.
She took steps to go upstairs, walked into the room, closed the door, sat on the chair by the balcony, and picked up the paper. Following the strokes of his name, she gently traced her fingertips over it. At the point where he had angrily ended it, the paper was torn. How furious he must have been.
She found a pen in the drawer, blew in the warm breeze from the seaside, and carefully wrote her name, one stroke ata time. After finishing, she gazed at their names for a long time, realizing the sadness of her ending.
A teardrop fell onto the paper, smudging his name.
Alita said, “Jaydon, this is the last tear I shed in your world. I hope it can soothe your anger. Let’s both live happily from now
on
Descending the stairs with a suitcase in her hand, Alita no longer wore the ring on her ring finger.
Approaching Otis, Alita handed him the transfer document. Tve already signed it. After finalizing the divorce contract, give me a call. My number won’t change for now. When you send the agreement, I’ll sign it and send it back.”
“Alright, I will” Ous felt a sense of regret but could only wish her well in his heart.
“Thank you,” Alita said politely, smiling at him.
The people in the hall were extremely excited, eager to celebrate as if they were setting off fireworks.
Kim and Samuel had been anticipating this day and were ready to witness her departure.

Shania, on the other hand, felt a bit reluctant. After all, Alita had lived with the Lewis family for 14 years. Shania held Alitas hand and asked, “Are you really leaving? Where will you go alone?
“Don’t worry. The world is vast, and there are many places to go. Shania, thank you for taking care of me all these years. I will always remember that. Take care of yourself. Alita hugged her.
The butler also approached, “Mrs. Alita, are you really leaving like this? Mr. Mike will be very sad.”
“Edgar, I’m no longer your madam. Take care of yourself and try to smile more. Don’t always be so serious, Alita said playfully, shaking his wrinkled hand. Tm leaving.”
She picked up her luggage and walked away without looking back, showing no attachment to this family.
On the balcony of the second floor, Jaydon gazed at Alita slowly walking out of the Lewis family’s residence, carrying her luggage. Tears welled up in his green eyes. He stood upright and recalled the scene of seeing the girl in a blue dress entering 14 years ago. It was in such a summer. She arrived with a pale face, wearing a small white flower on her head.
He thought. Alita, you are truly the most ruthless woman in the world:
He thought she would stay by his side forever. Her departure felt like taking away a part of him, leaving him at a loss.
Alita continued walking outward resolutely. She dared not look back, fearing tears would suddenly stream down her face.
People were emotional beings, unable to avoid those cliché sentiments.
It wasn’t until she stepped out of the grand iron gate of the Lewis family’s residence that she finally breathed a sigh of relief The place she entered 14 years ago was now left behind, and she had finally walked out.
Alita looked at the blue sky and white clouds over the sea, recalling the dream of the wealthy family, the handsome husband. and the glamorous life. The fleeting images filtered through her mind like a mirage. Now awake from the dream, she was free, completely free. From that moment on, she lived for herself.
She carried her luggage, walking along the coastline, breathing the air of freedom, gradually moving away….
Jaydon leaned against the railing, unable to suppress the emptiness that spread in his chest. He covered his chest, breathing heavily as if he had lost the entire world.
Standing on the balcony until dusk, he returned to the room in a daze. Without Alita, the room felt terrifyingly empty. He walked to her dressing table, and the massive diamond ring lay quietly there, flashing in silence.
Jaydon sat down and opened the drawer, but all the precious jewelry inside remained untouched. Did he make a mistake? Maybe she hadn’t left after all. He turned around abruptly, and for a moment, it seemed like someone was lying on the bed. Overjoyed, he tried to stand up, but the excitement immediately turned into disappointment. There was nothing on the bed. It was just his hallucination.
The ring was tightly clutched in his hand, and a sense of pain spread in his heart. Alita wouldn’t come back, absolutely not. Yet, Jaydon had grown accustomed to having her in his life.
The night enveloped him in pitch darkness.
Alita found accommodation in a hotel in a small town. She was afraid that Jaydon might suddenly decide to act stubbornly and bring her back. However, she considered the possibility unlikely.
Upon leaving the Lewis family, she didn’t take any money that didn’t belong to her. However, the money she earned through hard work for the Lewis family over the years was rightfully hers. It was stored on a card, and the amount was considerable.

This was her first night starting a new life alone after leaving the Lewis family. Lying on a relatively clean single bed, she found it difficult to fall asleep,
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
“Who is it?” Alita sat up alertly,
“The one delivering drink. The voice from outside sounded particularly pleasant.
“I don’t need it. You can take it away. Being a woman alone, Alita had to be cautious.
“Miss, the kettle in your room is broken. Are you really not in need of water? If not, I’ll take it away, the person outside said again.
Alita was accustomed to drinking water every morning. If the kettle was broken, she would have to water. “Wait a moment. Let me open the door”

downstairs to get
She went to open the door. As soon as she recognized that person, she immediately tried to close the door.
The person extended his arm into the doorway, using his strength to keep the door from closing. “Alita, I’m really sad. Am I a ghost? You close the door as soon as you see me.”
“What are you doing here? Mr. Samuel, I have no connection with you now, so please don’t pester me. Take your hand out, or Ill snap it off.” Alita glared fiercely at Samuel. What a persistent guy!
