Only then did Anika realize what Violet meant before Violet left. As it turned out, Violet went
to tell on her.
Before Anika could answer, Joshua continued.
"The divorce is between you and me, and there's no need for you to get physical with
Violet.She is still in the hospital."
Anika was confused for a second, but soon,she understood.
To her surprise, Violet used such a low means to frame herand Joshua was dumb enough
to fall for it.
"Believe it or not, I only met her. I didn't do anything to her."
Then Anika hung up.
Joshua was in the hospital.
His face was gloomy.
Violet was lying in a hospital bed with gauze tied around her forehead.
After meeting Anika,she hit her head on her own and framed Anika.
"I wanted to talk to her, but she...
Without finishing her words, she took out a stack of photos and handed them to Joshua.
The photos were taken after she found out Anika was pregnant.
"I don't want to keep hiding it from you for her anymore.
Joshua,don't be angry when you see the photos."
Joshua took the photos. His eyes darkened the second he saw the photos,
All of the photos were about Anika and Trent
They looked so intimate Seeing those photos, Joshua tried his best to control himself.
Violet sat up."I'm glad that I saw those photos and bought them. Things would have been tricky if these pictures got out."
Joshua was agitated.
After he got out of the hospital, he sat in his low-key matte black Cadillac and told Payton
to transfer the money for the photos to Violet.
Then he said, "Find out where Anika is right now." "Alright."
Payton immediately asked someone to get to it.

Anika had nightmares all night.
In her dream, Joshua and Violet were married, and they lived particularly happily.
She also dreamed about the past years.

back to him.

When Anika opened her eyes, she reached out and touched the corners of her eyes, which
were still covered with wet tears.
People always said that one would dream of what they thought about during the
daytime.She never dared to wish Joshua to regret nor did she dare to think whether she would
forgive him after he regretted it.

After Anika got up to wash, she didn't want to wait any longer. She was about to call
shua and ask him to go with her to the courthouse.
There was a knock on her door.
Thinking it was Trent, she went to open the door.
It was Payton who was standing at her door,wearing a standard suit and gold glasses.
Payton was Joshua's special assistant and was very capable. With his abilities, finding this ace was a piece of cake for him. "Mr.Burke,why are you here?"Anika asked.
Payton glanced around the room and saw no man. Then he said politely and indifferently.
"Ms.Carey, Mr.Conan asked me to invite you back."
Anika thought, "Ms.Carey....
"He has always addressed me like this."
She was used to it. She lowered her eyelids. "I'm not going back.
"Actually, I'm glad that you're here. Please tell Mr.Conan for me that I want to go through the divorce with him today."
All divorces could be dealt with as long as the cooling-off period had not expired.
When Joshua called her yesterday, he did nothing but question her. Thinking of that she didn't want to suffer anymore by contacting him herself. Payton was stunned.
He knew that the two were going through a divorce, yet he had never seen them doing it.
After all, in the past Anika was so affectionate, and Joshua couldn't get rid of her
whatsoever.
Payton frowned. "Ms. Carey, my suggestion is, you'd better stop before things get out of
hand. Mr. Conan is already very mad."
