I stayed at the hotel waiting for Mark to compensate me.
Flynn found out and asked:
“Why haven’t you made your move yet?”
“I’ll skin him alive first, sue for divorce, then pull the rug out from under him. That’s the only way this ends right.”
Flynn tsked:
“Never expected you to play so rough.”
Remembering how I’d once dreamed of growing old with Mark, I sighed:
“Women can’t afford to be love–struck. It only leads to ruin.”
Soon Mark transferred his shares to me and negotiated:
“Twenty million cash isn’t small change. Can you give me more time?”
“Five days left.”
Cornered, Mark wired himself ten million from the company account to complete my payment.
Staring at the cash piled up like a mountain, I felt utterly secure.
Who needs a man? Money’s the only true sanctuary.
After securing the funds, I filed for divorce.
When Mark received the court summons, he called me frantic:
“Noelle, you’re divorcing me?”
I answered firmly:
“Right, divorce. I don’t want to wait another minute.”
Mark snapped:

“I’ve given you all the money and shares you demanded!”
I couldn’t help but laugh coldly:
“You did. But I never said I’d take the money and stay married!

Sign the papers now it’s simplest this way.
Oh, and since you’re the at–fault party, you’ll leave with nothing.”
Mark ground his teeth:
“You won’t get your way!

How ruthless stripping me of everything!”
“Then don’t blame me for taking harsher measures.”

Mark swept everything off the table in rage. Items scattered across the floor as scalding tea soaked his clothes.
Ignoring the burns, he pointed at me trembling all over:
“Five years of marriage… and this is how you schemed against me?”
I tapped the table calmly:
“Mark, let me remind you – you betrayed our vows first.
Everything I’m doing now is your own doing.”
Mark lost his mind, roaring:
“You can’t be a little more generous, can you?

Shareholders across the boardroom exchanged stunned glances, expressions screaming “scandal of the century.”
Flynn couldn’t hold back any longer. He lunged forward, pummeling Mark until blood smeared Mark’s face.
Mark curled up on the floor. Flynn delivered several furious kicks before clearing his throat:
“Esteemed shareholders, our family is disgraced by this scandal.
Negative publicity will tarnish the company’s reputation.
Moreover, Mark’s wife Noelle has filed for divorce. This will inevitably become public.
To protect the’s standing, I propose stripping Mark of all executive positions.
All in favor?”
I raised my hand first.
An elderly shareholder–a respected friend of Richard–hesitated briefly before raising his hand.
His influence swayed the room. Smaller shareholders followed suit in rapid succession.
Flynn looked at the scene and showed a triumphant expression:
“More than half agreed, the proposal is passed.”
Mark was lifeless and was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
