Life After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 70

In the afternoon, as usual after finishing breakfast, a letter arrived from Uncle.

He said he had learned of my divorce and inheritance through the news, and sent his heartfelt condolences and deep sympathy regarding my past marriage. He also mentioned that other relatives had heard the news and were sighing in dismay.

Since I had no children of my own after marriage, Uncle had always treated me like a daughter. Even when my father passed away, he patted my back and told me I could always rely on him.

That he would worry about me like this, despite my having cut off contact so coldly after marriage—it alone proved they were people of gentle hearts.

With a warmed heart, I wrote a reply to Uncle.

I set aside the letter for Uncle and turned to read the correspondence from the senior executives who had been working hardest on estate management.

They had responded with enthusiastic cheers upon hearing of my recent divorce. They were either people who had recoiled at Devon’s arbitrary management style or rigid traditionalists deeply sensitive to legitimacy and hereditary customs.

I wrote them a letter as well.

It requested that they prepare a summary of the current business status, client list, and quarterly sales figures, as I would soon visit for a three-way meeting with Uncle.

Holding both letters, I went to Rail—to entrust them to him.
