Damian stood up and approached Claudine step by step.
His terrifying aura made him seem like a demon risen from hell, chilling to behold.
Claudine had never seen Damian like this before.
Fear rose in her heart, but her pride, already battered and scarred, forced her not to retreat.
She straightened her back, lifted her chin, and stared directly at the man before her.
Her posture only made Damian angrier.
Damian gripped Claudine’s chin tightly with one hand.
At this moment, his reason had already been swallowed by the overwhelming anger in his chest.
He didn’t want to distinguish whether his rage was because Claudine insisted on divorce, or because the woman be- fore him would never look at him with the same gentle, loving eyes as before.
He only knew that he hated losing control the most, whether it was Claudine or their marriage.
He forced out two words through gritted teeth.
“Don’t
you dare!”
The physical pain made Claudine’s tears flow uncontrollably.
Her eyes were bloodshot, whether from anger or from too much pain, she couldn’t tell.
She simply said, “If you dare lay a hand on my family, you should have expected this day!
“I’ve said it before, between us, it’s just a matter of who can go further.
“Anyway, I’ve already lost everything!
“Damian, I have nothing left, so I have nothing to fear!”
The tears that slid from Claudine’s eyes landed on Damian’s hand, like sparks, burning fiercely.
Maybe it was Claudine’s lifeless face that was so frightening, or maybe it was her words, “I have nothing left,” that pierced Damian’s heart.
Damian finally let go of her.
Claudine’s fair face was now flushed red.

Looking at that redness, Damian lowered his hand, his fingers rubbing lightly.
He could see that Claudine was determined to get a divorce.
If this went on, things would only end even worse.
He had no choice but to take a step back.
“Now is not the time for divorce. Name your terms-anything but divorce, and I’ll agree.”
Claudine heard this and curled her lips in disdain.
She looked at Damian, her eyes full of mockery.
“Damian, you really are… incorrigible!”
Damian had thought Claudine would seriously consider his proposal, but to his surprise, the woman responded with such a mocking tone.
His hands, hanging at his sides, clenched and unclenched several times before he managed to suppress the anger burn- ing in his chest.
When Damian spoke, his voice was calm only because he had forced it to be.
“Then you should know better than anyone that as long as I don’t want it, you will never get this divorce!”
He spoke as if it were nothing, but the darkness in his eyes revealed his true self.
Claudine simply stared at the man in front of her.
Over the years, he had taken great care of himself. Eleven years had passed, and the youthful recklessness from when they first met was gone from his face, but so was the sincerity of those days.
Beneath that same face now resided a completely different soul.
He no longer had the elegant and handsome demeanor he had when they first met.
Claudine turned her face away and looked at Audrey, who stood behind Damian.
“And what about her?”
“Are you really going to let your beloved ex-wife bear the shame of being the other woman? Can you bear that?”
Claudine’s words made Damian frown deeply.
“Claudine!”
He took a step forward, blocking Claudine’s line of sight.
“If you dare lay a hand on Audrey, I will make you regret it!”
“Regret?”

Claudine laughed.
“I’ve regretted it for a long time! I regret marrying you, I even regret ever meeting you!”
Damian, you were the one who went after my brother first!
“Now I’m just giving you a taste of your own medicine!”
With that, Claudine grabbed a golf club from the side and struck the dining table with all her might.
The marble tabletop instantly shattered into pieces, fragments scattering all over the floor.
The screams of women and the cries of children erupted in chaos.
Claudine and Damian stared at each other, neither willing to back down.
“Daddy, I’m scared!”
“Dami, don’t be angry. I’ll leave. I don’t want Prof. Nixon’s PhD spot anymore. I’ll go abroad right away.
“I don’t want to make things difficult for you.”
The cries of Audrey and Darlene were enough to give anyone a headache.
Damian couldn’t take it anymore and growled, “Shut up.”
The room immediately fell silent, leaving only the occasional sobs of the child.
Claudine clapped her hands and spoke to the people she had brought with her.
“Move all these things downstairs. Be careful, these… are worth a lot…”
As she said this, Claudine shot a provocative glance at Damian, then walked over to Audrey.
