Chapter 90
Fiona, once pampered and glowing under constant attention, was suddenly thrown into the center of chaos,her dignity shattered.
She felt a tingling on her scalp and a tightness pressing on her chest. Finally unable to bear it, she let out a scream, clutching her skirt and stumbled off the stage.
In the dressing room,she slammed the door shut and locked it,her eyes red from crying. Fingers trembling,she clutched her phone and dialed her brother’s number.
“Simon!Where did you go?Why did you leave me behind?“”
On the other end of the line,there was only cold,unresponsive silence.
She tried calling her second brother,but still no answer.
Panicked, she gritted her teeth and dialed Jason’s number. But over there,not even a dial tone–her call was decisively cut off. “How could this happen…“Fiona trembled all over her nails digging into her palms.
She gritted her teeth,muttering under her breath, “It must be that wretched Callista!She did this!If it weren’t for her,why would they all just…run away?“”
Her makeup hadn’t even been wiped off,tears mixing with foundation,leaving her face a mess.”
Meanwhile…
Outside,the three men were already scattering like mad.
Jason was the first to burst out of the hall,nearly losing control. He slammed the gas pedal before even closing the car door properly.
His chest churned,and in his ears,only one thought echoed. ‘Callista…really got divorced? No,she couldn’t possibly have let go for real!She’s just trying to scare me–there’s no way she would actually leave!‘”
But that text–cold and merciless–sliced through him like a blade,shattering the last fragment of his confidence.
Simon and Ethan weren’t doing any better.
In the shortest time,they mobilized all their connections,sending people everywhere to track me down.
Even if it meant turning the entire city upside down,they were determined to find me.”
“Callista…she wouldn’t really do something reckless,would she?“Ethan,unusually unsteady,broke his calm,cold sweat forming on his brow.
“She wouldn’t.“Simon’s voice was low,restrained with suppressed anger.“She’s always been stronger than we ever imagined.” But even as he spoke,his chest ached fiercely.
The three of them–each more frantic than the last–had nearly exhausted every resource at their disposal. Yet the outcome left them utterly disheartened.”
The lawyer sent a definitive message.
I had really gone to the City Hall and personally completed the divorce procedures. I truly went to the ancestral hall where the Corvin Family genealogy was kept and personally signed the document severing all family ties.\
The surveillance footage showed a girl who had once been gentle,always with a hint of a smile–now cold,her gaze clear and unwavering,her demeanor eerily calm.
No tears,no outburst.
I simply completed all the procedures quietly.signing,stamping and leaving.
The final image captured me alone,dragging my suitcase down the airport corridor,disappearing into the distance.N
A single plane ticket–bound for the distant Birlona. But my trail ended there.N
No matter how vast their influence,they could no longer reach me abroad.
At that moment,the three men finally realized that I truly no longer wanted them.
I had personally severed the final bond, leaving no room for compromise.
The suffocating emptiness felt as if my heart had been ripped out.N
They raged almost uncontrollably,ready to smash whatever was nearby,when an assistant cautiously stepped forward. “Sir,Miss Fiona’s having an episode.”
The three of them exchanged a glance,their hearts surging with intense impatience and irritation.
For the first time,the thought crossed their minds. If it weren’t for Fiona,they wouldn’t have lost me at this moment.N
But what the assistant said next forced them to suppress their anger.
“Her condition isn’t good. The doctor said her emotions might affect her health. Please hurry over immediately.”
