Chapter 1:
“Sign it.”
In a Spacious office, bright sunlight shined in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, Joseph’s eyes fell on the paper.
It’s a DIVORCE AGREEMENT!
Joseph was stunned, and a bunch of roses held in his hand fell onto ground.
It’s his wedding anniversary day! He got divorce?
“Rebecca, what does this... mean?” Joseph couldn’t believe what was happening.
It was absurd that his wife’s secretary was asking him to sign the divorce agreement on such a special day.
“Joseph,” Rebecca spoke his name seriously, her voice was slightly disdainful, “you’re no longer worthy of Charlotte, she’s such an elegant and successful lady.”
Her words struck Joseph like a blow.
Not worthy...of Charlotte?
Two years ago, when Charlotte, his wife was financially struggling, teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, it’s him, who had tirelessly helped her to get out of the dilemma.
But as Charlotte’s business was getting more and more successful, she became more and more indifferent to him.
He had never thought that the woman he loved most, the one he had supported for so long, pouring out all his love and devotion for, finally wanted to divorce him.
“Rebecca,” Joseph talked to the secretary, his hand resting on the divorce agreement, sorrow and disappointment rising in his throat, but he tried to keep his voice calm as he spoke.
“If you want me to sign it, call her and tell her to speak to me on her own. Otherwise, I won’t do it.”
Rebecca scowled in anger. “You’re stubborn, Joseph. Charlotte doesn’t have any time to handle such a trivial matter, she’s busy negotiating with Anthony Anderson, the heir to the Anderson Group. Compared with Mr. Anderson, you are nothing but a loser! Let her go, Charlotte’s Prince Charming has shown up.”
Rebecca’s words were like a thunderbolt to Joseph.
Anthony Anderson, Joseph knew that this rich man was pursuing his wife and the gossips between them.
But he had always trusted her before. He felt upset as it seemed that Charlotte had fallen in love with Anthony.
Meanwhile, there came a sudden sound of high-heeled shoes from outside.
It’s Charlotte!
Charlotte walked in, elegant and alluring.
Draped in a suit from the famous Chanel, a Hermes handbag and Salvatore Ferragamo heels, she was clad in luxury brands, even her jewelry was customized.
She has fair skin, long and curly hair like the waves. She waved her hand, signaling Rebecca to leave. Standing by Joseph, she spoke indifferently.
“I’m here, you can sign it now! As long as you sign it immediately, you can take it. Here are three million dollars in this card.”
Charlotte threw a debit card in front of Joseph while she was “persuading” him.
However, Joseph seemed to hear the mocking voice from the card.
He stood up and spoke her, “Charlotte, for you, everything revolves around money and power. But for me, it’s not like that. Our views are completely opposite.”
Charlotte stared at Joseph seriously, “Exactly it makes us incompatible. You can’t understand what I want, Joseph.”
“Furthermore...” Charlotte paused for seconds and then continued, “I gave chances. I persuaded to work but you never changed. I can accept that my husband is not as rich as me, but I cannot tolerate him being a loser with no ambition and no business, just staying at home all day long. We’re no longer on the same level, Joseph...”
Hearing it, Joseph forced a smile. He didn’t work because he didn’t have to, and there’s something more important for him to do with.
What’s more...almost all the cooperation she had reached was because of him. But Joseph knew that Charlotte had her own pride and persistence, so he never told her.
However, overconfidence turned into arrogance, which blinded her mind.
“Charlotte...” Joseph called her name again, still the way that he used to call her before, but now, with different emotions.
“Have you forgotten all the things we experienced? It’s out anniversary today!” Joseph’s voice was deep.
Wedding anniversary?! Oh gosh, she forgot it.
A strange mix of emotions welled up within Charlotte, she hesitated.
However, nothing could stop her since she had decided.
Sorry, Joseph!
She felt she was like a kite, bounded by Joseph. Without him, she could fly higher and higher.
Thinking of this, Charlotte didn’t hesitate anymore and started to get impatient, saying, “Joseph, stop talking nonsense! I’ve made the decision.”
Joseph stared at her eyes, hoping to find some hesitation inside, but only determination instead. He failed to save their marriage, but he had to figure out one thing before their divorce.
“Charlotte, is those gossips true that you and Anthony Anderson...” Joseph didn’t finish the sentence, and only looked at her with puzzled eyes.
He didn’t still believe that Charlotte would betray him.
Hearing his words, Charlotte felt angry at first and wanted to explain, but then she gave up.
Maybe this misunderstanding could help end the marriage quickly.
Therefore, she didn’t deny it, and even said, “It’s none of your business. Just sign your name on it.”
Charlotte picked up the divorce agreement and sent it to Joseph.
“You are so anxious! It looks like you can’t wait to marry him.” Joseph felt so disappointed at her and said coldly.
Then he took the paper and signed his name on it.
As he looked at the signatures, once signed on the marriage certificate, now on the divorce papers, everything felt so fast... and fleeting.
“I don’t need the money, and I will leave empty-handed, but you have to return the emerald necklace which is for my wife, it’s the only heirloom my mother left behind.”
Charlotte hesitated for seconds, then reached behind her neck and unclasped the necklace, turning back to place it in Joseph’s palm.
“Here it is, and neither of us owes anything to each other anymore.”
Financially, yes! But emotionally?
Joseph clasped the necklace in his hand, then walked away directly without any hesitation.
Standing alone in the office, Charlotte clenched her fists slightly, feeling the emptiness in her heart.
She looked at the divorce agreement on the table, and suddenly felt a tinge of regret like a thin thread slipping through her heart.
“No, it’s correct. It’s the best way for both of us! Joseph, you’ll definitely meet the one deserves your love. As for me, business is the most important...”

Toppling the World with His Empire Chapter 200:
Joseph nodded slightly, not showing any emotion. "Charlotte is still safe, right?" Joseph asked, his voice calm, but his eyes intently watching Coco's reaction. This was his way of probing her, not about Charlotte, but for any sign that she knew or was involved in the death. Coco abruptly lifted her head, her eyes filled with anger. "What are you talking about, Joseph? Why would you ask me that? Do you think I don't care about Charlotte?" The anger in Coco's voice made Joseph realize he had touched on something sensitive. But what was she angry about? Because he suspected her, or because she really had something to hide? "I meant no harm, Coco," Joseph replied, trying to calm the situation. "I just want to make sure everything is okay... between us and with Charlotte." But he knew his words wouldn't soothe her anger. Coco stood up abruptly, her eyes full of frustration and rage. "Joseph, what kind of person do you think I am? I've always been by your side, helping you th

Coco slowly guided Joseph back to his room, each of their steps heavy like the tense atmosphere surrounding them. Joseph was still somewhat intoxicated, but he maintained a calm demeanor, occasionally nodding to the staff they passed along the way.

Coco walked beside him silently, holding his arm securely, her eyes betraying her concern.At last, the door to the room appeared before them. Coco gently opened it and helped Joseph inside, closing it behind them. As soon as the door shut, the atmosphere in the room changed completely.

Joseph stood amidst the lively atmosphere of the party, but his mind felt lost in a maze of confusion. He tried to piece together the fragments of the events, but the more he thought about it, the more complicated everything became. If Jayce wasn’t the one who killed Charlotte, and he wasn’t behind Mrs. Smith’s death either, then Jayce must be panicking. Two key pawns Jayce had planned to use to threaten him had mysteriously vanished. So, who was behind all of this?Joseph couldn’t stop asking himself questions. “Is there someone silently helping me, or do they have a bigger agenda?” The appearance of a third force in this game could completely change the outcome. This made him uneasy. If someone was helping him, why would they choose such a method? And if they had ulterior motives, was he becoming a pawn in their hands?Looking over at Jayce, Joseph noticed that although Jayce outwardly appeared calm, he was likely in turmoil inside. Coco approached him, her eyes filled with concer

The murmurs in the hall grew louder, and the once formal atmosphere of the party began to descend into chaos. Groups of guests gathered, whispering about the murder near the café. Faces were filled with anxiety, and eyes darted around, searching for an explanation.“Did you hear? The murder case,” a woman in a red dress turned to her companion, her voice trembling. “The killer hasn’t been caught yet, and the police have no leads.”“How terrifying! So close to here too, who would have thought something like this could happen in such a peaceful place,” her friend replied, nervously glancing around.People began to speculate about the murder, with theories spreading quickly and seemingly without end. Everyone presented their own assumptions, creating a tense atmosphere. Some suggested a family feud, while others thought it might be an act of revenge.“It could be robbery gone wrong… or maybe some kind of vendetta? I heard the victim was the mother of a wealthy CEO,” a man suggested.“But

Coco hurried into the party, her eyes scanning the crowd anxiously as she searched for Joseph. She looked around frantically, her breath quickening as she walked swiftly past groups of guests engaged in conversation. Her gaze finally landed on Joseph, who stood near a corner of the room, his face tired and pensive. Coco approached him, unable to hide the worry in her eyes."Joseph!" Coco called softly, her voice a bit urgent. "Where have you been? I didn’t see you at all during the party."Joseph turned to face her, giving a faint smile but maintaining his calm demeanor. "I just stepped out for some personal business, nothing important," he said smoothly, though there was a subtle tension in his eyes that Coco couldn’t ignore.Coco frowned, the uneasy feeling in her heart growing stronger. "Personal business? Are you sure?" she asked gently, her voice full of concern. "I tried calling you several times, but you didn’t pick up. Is something wrong?"Joseph looked straight into Coco’s ey

Toppling the World with His Empire Chapter 195:
Charlotte lay motionless on the cold floor, her body still, and the pool of blood beneath her had already dried. The dim light from the room cast down on her pale, lifeless face, creating a heavy and terrifying atmosphere. The room was eerily silent, as if frozen in time, with only the faint sound of wind whistling through the crack in the window, disturbing the unnerving quiet.Suddenly, Charlotte's body twitched slightly. A barely noticeable, sudden movement, but it shattered the oppressive silence of the room. Her eyes, once tightly shut in death, abruptly opened wide, her dull eyes now filled with pain. Though devoid of life, somehow she opened her eyes as if pulled back from the brink of death by an unseen force.Charlotte’s throat convulsed, and suddenly, a dry retch escaped her mouth. Her hands instinctively gripped her neck, struggling to suppress something rising within her stomach. Her body convulsed in extreme agony, and soon after, she began to vomit violently, thick, blac
