In the story of "After the Divorce, He Tore off My Masks", Valerie Harold's life takes a dramatic turn. Four years ago, due to her family's bankruptcy and the trust of her grandfather's comrade, she entered into a marriage with Wendell Joule. However, this marriage, which she hoped would turn into a loving one, ends up in a cold divorce demand.
Wendell, with a detached voice, declares, "Valerie Harold, let's get a divorce! Between you and me, we only have the title of husband and wife, and it's never about love. Now that the four-year deadline has passed, our marriage should come to an end." He offers her four billion dollars and a mansion as compensation, treating the divorce like a business deal. Valerie, though heartbroken as she has given her whole heart to this marriage, decides to let go and signs the agreement.
The night she is informed of the divorce, the servants who once served her become arrogant and throw her luggage out of the villa. To her surprise, Odelia Walkley arrives, seemingly eager to take her place. Odelia taunts Valerie, but Valerie shows her newfound strength and sharp tongue, not taking the provocation lying down.
After renting a small apartment, Valerie contacts Cornell Waters, one of the Pearson Four, for help with an investigation. The next day, she arrives early at the city hall for the divorce proceedings, looking stunning in a crimson long dress despite being unwell with a fever. Wendell, on seeing her, shows a moment of captivation followed by displeasure. The divorce registration process is quick, but they are informed of a one-month cooling-off period.
During this time, Odelia appears, and Valerie notices her slightly swollen belly. Wendell's detached attitude towards Odelia and his refusal to give Valerie an explanation add more mystery and jealousy to the mix. What secrets does Odelia hold? Why is Wendell so eager to divorce Valerie? Want to know what unexpected changes Valerie will encounter during the divorce cooling-off period? Read the novel to find out!
