Besides, making your identity as Mrs. Barrette public in front of the media.
Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?”
Damian patiently explained to Claudine.
After all, women always let their emotions get in the way when considering things, unable to see the bigger picture.
Thinking this, Damian’s expression grew a little impatient.
Claudine had lived with Damian for five years. At this moment, how could she not know what his look meant?
She lifted her head, looked at Damian, and spoke each word clearly.
“Contact Prof. Hutchinson and make me his student!
Handle the divorce procedures, and as previously agreed, give me 32% of the assets!”
“From now on, you and I will never see each other again!”
With every word Claudine spoke, Damian’s face grew darker.
When Claudine finished, there was only cold indifference left in Damian’s eyes.
He curled his lips in a mocking smile.
“Do you know what you’re saying?
“I’ve already promised you that I’ll treat you well from now on-what more do you want!”
Claudine lifted her head and met Damian’s shadowed face.
“If you don’t agree, I’ll expose everything about Audrey. And I’ll also reveal how you arranged for Audrey to be intro-
duced to Prof. Nixon.
The president of the Barrette Group, interfering with academic fairness for his ex-wife!
The media will definitely be interested!”
The hospital room was suffocatingly silent.
Damian gazed at the woman lying on the hospital bed.
Her face was weak and gaunt, almost devoid of any color.
But her eyes were as cold as frost.

Damian frowned.
He hadn’t expected Claudine to be so foolish!
There was a way for both of them to come out unscathed, yet she insisted on dragging them both down, leaving nei- ther with dignity.
“Do you think, if I don’t give my consent, anyone in Bronzevale would dare take your divorce case!”
At this moment, he was every bit the figure of authority.
Since Claudine had refused to cooperate, he had no choice but to lay his cards on the table, making sure she under- stood exactly who she was dealing with.
A cold, mocking smile played on Damian’s lips.
He continued speaking.
“You want to expose me for disrupting academic integrity?”
Damian let out a cold snort.
He leaned forward slightly, his intimidating presence pressing down like an invisible mountain, making it hard to breathe.
“Are you planning to report Prof. Nixon as well?”
Claudine looked at the man before her, rage surging so fiercely it threatened to swallow her reason.
She had never imagined Damian could be so shameless!
Of course!
He had become president of the Barrette Group at such a young age; how could he possibly be kind-hearted?
Without hesitation, Claudine raised her hand and slapped Damian.
Of course, she wished she had a knife in her hand instead.
She would have loved to cut out this man’s heart and see just how black it truly was!
Damian’s face stung with a burning pain.
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and when Claudine tried to strike again, he caught her wrist.
He ran his tongue over his molars, his eyes like a beast pouncing on its prey, filled only with mocking contempt for
her overestimation of herself.
“Claudine, you shouldn’t be this stupid! The solution I just offered-you’d better accept it obediently. Don’t think your little tricks can compete with me!”
Damian released her hand and straightened up.

The hostility on his face gradually faded, returning to his usual cold demeanor.
“Focus on recovering, and don’t entertain any other thoughts!
“I’ve been thinking a lot during this time.
“In the past, I did neglect you. From now on, I’ll try to make up for it.
As for everything else, just let it go!”
After saying this, Damian felt that anyone with a bit of sense would accept his advice.
After all, even now, Damian still believed Claudine was doing all this because she loved him but couldn’t have him.
Claudine listened to Damian’s words, feeling nothing but hatred.
He wanted her to let it go?
How easy for him to say!
She had already sacrificed five years of her youth for this man!
Did he really expect her to give up her entire life just because of a few words from him?
She wasn’t that foolish!
“Damian! Stop flattering yourself!
Just looking at you now makes me sick!
You want me to play along with your act? Dream on!”
Claudine struggled to sit up straight.
She refused to show any sign of weakness in front of Damian.
She straightened her back and looked at the man before her.
The man she had loved for eleven years.
“I don’t believe the Barrette Group can cover the sky with one hand!
“If no lawyer in Bronzevale dares take my case, I’ll go to Harbourne, or even find a lawyer abroad.
