She bent down, looking at Audrey with an imposing air.
“I really hope you put in some effort and get him to divorce me sooner.”
After speaking, Claudine flashed a perfect smile-beautiful, yet blinding.
Darlene still wanted to protect her mother. She stood up, trying to push Claudine away.
But Claudine straightened up first, not letting Darlene touch her.
The next second, Damian’s large hand grabbed Claudine’s arm and yanked her over.
He was much stronger than Claudine, dragging her so forcefully that she staggered repeatedly, nearly falling several
times.
“Damian, let go of me!”
The man’s face was ashen as he dragged her out of the room.
In the elevator.
Damian pressed the button for Claudine’s floor without saying a word.
No matter how Claudine struggled, he refused to let go.
With a “ding,” the elevator doors opened.
Damian dragged her into Claudine’s apartment.
The people had just finished placing the antique when Damian shouted, “Get out!”
The people looked at each other, but no one moved.
Claudine was thrown onto the sofa by him. The dull pain in her body seemed almost numb to her now
After all, the agony in her heart had long since left her numb.
She sat up.
“This is my place. The one who should get out is you!”
Claudine’s eyes were red.
“I really don’t understand I’ve already agreed to the divorce, so why won’t you agree?
Do you find cheating exciting?

Or is it that as the president of the Barrette Group, you can only keep your position through marriage?”
The veins on Damian’s forehead bulged.
When had he ever been ridiculed like this?
And by the woman who used to love him with all her heart!

A voice rose in his heart: he had to conquer this woman, to tame her back into who she used to be, no matter what it
took!
The thought had only just sprouted, but it quickly took root.
He looked at Claudine, his eyes narrowing slightly.
He had fought in the business world for years, faced countless opponents, and made it this far-he was no empty shell.
Claudine hadn’t even experienced a fraction of what he was capable of!
“You’re a smart woman. You should know that if we keep fighting like this, neither of us will benefit!
“I know you’ve already gotten a verbal promise from Prof. Hutchinson, and I know what you’re capable of.
The lawyer Luo you contacted is indeed very competent.
All these people were introduced by Rachelle, weren’t they!
“Do you think I can’t touch Rachelle’s gallery?”
His words were an undisguised threat.
But he was right-if this continued, it would only end in mutual destruction.
She had already dragged her brother into this. Was she going to pull Rach down with her too?
“Damian, you are truly despicable!”
This time, Damian didn’t get angry. He just left her with one sentence.
“Think it over. Do you want us both to go down together, or will you accept my proposal?”
With that, Damian lifted his foot and prepared to leave.
He walked to the door and glanced back at the collection the others had moved in
“If you like these things, keep them!
As Mrs. Barrette, you shouldn’t have to stoop to stealing from others!”
With that, Damian left
Claudine stared at the door, thinking about everything Damian had just said.

A deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside her.
All she wanted was to draw a clear line with Damian, to start her life over.

She was even willing to let go of the grievances of the past five years, to stop holding grudges-so why couldn’t Damian just let her go?
At this point, everyone else in the apartment had left as well. The room was now occupied by Claudine alone.
She lay on the sofa just like that.
The sunlight on the floor slowly faded away, and the room was gradually swallowed by darkness.
After a long time, Claudine blinked her eyes gently.
She got up from the darkness, groped her way to the entrance, and turned on the lights in the room.
The sudden brightness made her uncomfortable. She raised her hand to shield her eyes, and when she lowered it, only a coldness remained in her gaze.
She dialed a number, and after a long while, the call was finally answered.
Loud music blared through the receiver.
It was easy to guess that the call was coming from a place of debauchery and excess.
The person on the other end spoke with a tone that was unfriendly, laced with humiliating mockery.
“Sister-in-law? Calling me so late-don’t tell me you’re lonely because my brother isn’t around?”
Claudine ignored the humiliation in Theodore’s words.
She spoke coldly.
“Let’s meet tomorrow at noon and talk about a partnership.”
