Today had been the most exhausting day of Cassidy's entire life.
Without exception.
She had just prematurely delivered her daughter yesterday—and it had started right in the middle of a board meeting.
At first, she hadn't even realized what was happening.
After all, she was still a month away from her due date.
She thought it was just the baby kicking.
She endured the pain until the meeting adjourned, by which point she was drenched in a cold sweat and unable to stand. Her secretary noticed her condition and rushed her to the hospital.
Less than two hours later, the baby was born.
After resting for a single night, she was right back to hosting meetings in her hospital room early the next morning.
It wasn't by choice. Because she had given birth to a girl, the Quincy patriarch wanted to slash her daughter's shareholding ratio, cutting it down to less than half of what was originally promised.
Naturally, Cassidy refused to accept that.
An agreement secured in black and white couldn't just be rewritten on a whim.
Thankfully, Bridget firmly took Cassidy's side.
Her own maiden family had also rushed over to back her up.
After a full day of arguing, both sides had finally taken a step back. The equity ratio remained the same, but several harsh preconditions had been tacked on.
These conditions guaranteed that she would have to work herself to the bone for the rest of her life.
She could never afford to stop.
Just thinking about it was exhausting.
Since she was already this drained.
She figured she might as well lay all her cards on the table and fully assess her current reality.
Cassidy handed Parker the divorce settlement she had drafted six months ago.
Parker took it suspiciously, but as he read the bold lettering, the smile vanished from his lips. The joyful sparkle in his eyes dimmed, and the fingers gripping the paper grew stiff.
After a long, suffocating silence, he let out a dry laugh and tossed the document onto the edge of the bed. "What is this supposed to mean?"
