"If that is the case, I'll take that this is alright for me to read through." Ellie took sips in between as she quickly thumbed through the documents. Her eyes blazed quickly as she circled key words and phrases with her fingers. It was essentially a document about the partitioning of a business so there were many different annexes and parts that pertained to different parts of the business. Here and then, Ellie would set aside sheets of paper that she deemed of importance before continuing on with her perusal. Finally when she finished she looked over the documents she had set to the side with some curiosity before returning to one paragraph with a serious squint.

She quickly flipped the papers so they faced Henry in a way that he could read what was perplexing her. She explained her thoughts. "According to this copy of your father's will, the topic of your retaining your holdings of Wong Industries is set by the singular strange condition that you have a lawfully wedded partner and a child by your twenty seventh year. We are missing the child aspect, but it says you need to have it within five years of getting married. Something that is quite interesting though is there is no stipulation denying you of the inheritance if your wife is found to be unable to bear children or if after a period of a year you decide to amicably separate. You could kill me or if I had died, you would have everything."

Henry chuckled darkly. "I'm interested in neither so continue."

"Well based on everything that I have read and seen so far as these previous options are not possible. If we both want our end, we could just live in separate places and act like we aren't married. But since I do want a true marriage with children, I would not be happy with that avenue. I don't know about you, but that is my answer. I think facing these circumstances the best option would be to try and get an annulment."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Henry's brows furrowed. "I'm not familiar with the term. I'm not well versed in family or civil law myself."

"Alright let me google it so I don't mess it up." Ellie took Henry's phone and did the task before reading the search result out loud, "According to the first search result an annullment is defined as a legal procedure which proceeds to cancel a marriage. Annulling a marriage means erasing the transaction as null and void. In tern this means to point out that the ceremony never legally took place. That would be great for both of us as we married under a strange premise." Ellie's eyes flashed to Henry. "I know that there are a lot of tabloids who are interested in your romantic endeavors and partners. If I could be granted that, I would be free from being associated with you in the future and you would be as so from me. It would be a lot quicker and less bothersome than a divorce. Thank god for the prenuptial agreement so we have some legal basis to start from. An annulment is also a lot less sensational in the sense that there is no cheating involved. We could just say it was a mess up in paperwork or something really boring."

"I'm in agreement."
