Chapter 459: Chapter 237 A Familiar Face in Hometown_3

Just when everyone was optimistic about Stone, thinking he had a bright future ahead, Stone chose to divorce Broken Stone. Shortly after the divorce, having left with nothing, Stone was selected as an immigrant and embarked on his journey to immigrate to Earth.

Lin Wu’s look at Stone changed, "This Old Man really is someone with a story. Why did they divorce?"

Maya: "Let me make it clear first: Broken Stone is a very good person. Stone believed that the Fortress family system had various flaws and often discussed his views with Broken Stone, even pointing out some problems with his own family and father-in-law. Once, Broken Stone said something like this, ’What kind of vision do you have? You succeeded because you stood on the shoulders of giants, not because you are a giant.’"

As Broken Stone’s friend, Maya was also there at the time and instinctively felt that Broken Stone’s remark was inappropriate. Perhaps to avoid losing face in front of a friend or for other reasons, Broken Stone did not take back her words, and the situation between them turned somewhat sour. The real catalyst came later, when Stone suggested to his father-in-law that the family should reform, roughly meaning that all family members should start from the same starting line, with better-performing members rising in rank, and their family status and access to resources increasing accordingly. Stone believed that a family is not a country, and should not evenly distribute all resources to each person.

If everyone had viewed Stone’s proposal calmly, regardless of right or wrong, there wouldn’t have been any problems. However, with many members in the family, Stone’s proposal would result in 80% of them returning to ordinary lives, unable to enjoy high-quality education and living standards. As a result, over time, quite a few family members became dissatisfied with Stone, and this sentiment transferred to Broken Stone. She had no desire for power; she simply hoped for a happy family life, and thus couldn’t understand why Stone was causing trouble without reason.

The two argued over this matter, with Stone taking a stance from the perspective of the family’s long-term development that angered Broken Stone, leading her to say hurtful things. The general message was, ’Your current status and position are all given by the family, what right do you have to critique the family rules? Just be content being a wealthy person and live your life without having too many ideas about the family, after all, you are an outsider to this family.’

While there was nothing wrong with what was said, it caused tons of hurt to Stone’s heart. After returning from a business trip, Stone officially filed for divorce, and Broken Stone, in her anger, agreed. Unforeseen, the situation spiraled out of control, and a week after the divorce, Stone was selected by Dawn to become an immigrant. It wasn’t until the day he left Blue Star that the family found out about this, when Stone invited Broken Stone out for a meal, where they poured out their feelings and truly ended their marital relationship on friendly terms.

After returning home, Broken Stone contacted her friend Maya, who had also been selected as an immigrant, and after a discussion with Stone, they arranged a time to board the spacecraft together. As such, both Stone and Maya were assigned to North Town. Ordinary people were not aware of this rule, and others like Starlight and Sunlight, although they couldn’t be certain, had no better alternatives. Even if they couldn’t cheat, the children of wealthy families always seemed to have more options than ordinary people.

Stone was quite famous within the big family of Fortress Company. Sunlight, who worked as Stone’s assistant when he was an intern at the university, spent about a year by Stone’s side. During that time, Starlight also often met with Stone, and the more Sunlight interacted with Stone, the more he respected him. In Sunlight’s eyes, Stone was very likely to become one of the main power holders at Fortress Company in the future.

Stone waved to call Maya over to the side. The two had a discussion and then came back, with Stone saying to Sunlight and Starlight, "We have a subsidiary base called the Meteorological Station Base. You and your spouse can temporarily settle there. The subsidiary base is almost next to the main base, so there are no safety issues."

Lin Wu reminded on the side, "There aren’t enough beds."

Stone said, "You and Shana go back to the main base."
