Divorce Day: Traded Him for Someone Better Chapter 13
Philip ignored Sebastian and instead told his men to gather all the guests. His sharp gaze swept across the room, and once everyone fell silent, he raised his voice and said, "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to be here today."First, I'd like to formally introduce my son, Isaac Stark. He's been keeping a low profile, starting a business here in Berdona. He's now founded Galaxeous Tech, and it's doing quite well. I hope you'll look out for him if any of you have opportunities to work together in the future."Then he turned slightly and brought me, standing beside Isaac, into the center of the room. His tone softened a shade as he continued, "Second, I'd like to introduce my daughter-in-law, Ms. Calista Lockhart."She used to be the Lockhart family's heiress, and she and my son have known each other for years. Their bond runs deep. Now that they're married, she's the future lady of the Stark household."At this point, Philip suddenly looked over at Sebastian,

Sebastian went on, "Nina just wanted to make me feel guilty so she could drive a wedge between us. I also found out everything Jenna—or Nina—did to you. I know you've suffered a lot because of us, and I've already made the Ward family pay."If you're still not over it, you can hit me, curse me, or punish me. Do every awful thing to me that I once did to you. Please, just give me another chance. Let me make up for all the crap I put you through, okay?"What he said completely blindsided me. I honestly hadn't expected Nina to set up such an elaborate scheme for Sebastian. In that moment, I finally let go of the past.After a brief silence, I said, "Sebastian, I accept your apology. At the same time, I want to apologize on my dad's behalf for forcing you into that marriage back then."I did a lot of thinking after the divorce. If my dad hadn't pushed you to marry me, Nina wouldn't have 'died.' Even though you two later did a lot of things that really hurt me, I've still always felt gu

Isaac said, "I even wondered if I'd agreed to take over the family business back then, maybe your dad would've thought about marrying you to me. After you got married, I really went off the rails for a while."Later, I heard Sebastian treated you badly and did all kinds of things to hurt you because of that ex of his. That was when I made up my mind—I had to hurry up and get powerful enough to steal you back."These past few years, I made a lot of money off projects. Last month, I used that money to start my own company. My dad saw that I'd achieved some success, so he finally understood what I wanted and forgave me for being such a rebel back then."He paused, then continued, "He and my sister even checked out my company and really liked its prospects. They invested a huge chunk of money in it. Now, I can finally stand in front of you with my head held high. I can finally confess to you for real, just as myself, and ask you to marry me."Everything Isaac said dropped into my heart

So, Isaac really owned all of these things?It took me a long time to find my voice. When I finally spoke, I couldn't stop the anger from bleeding into my voice. "Wow. Real nice, Isaac. Aren't you gonna explain where this money came from? What, are you some rich kid pretending to be broke just to mess with me? Or did you really pimp yourself out like Sebastian said?"Isaac panicked slightly at my outburst and scrambled to explain, "No, no! I swear I didn't do anything like that, Calista. It's true that I'm not some poor scholarship kid. I'm the only son of the Starks from Riverton—the so-called Stark heir that people in Berdona are always talking about."I just never cared about the family business. My dad and my sister have always been the ones running it. I rarely show my face in public, so everyone's only ever heard of me. They don't know what I look like."I was stunned. My voice came out cool yet edged with anger. "So, you really were a rich heir pretending to be broke just to

Nina just hadn't been sure how much of a chance she had with the Holt family, who only cared about their own interests. It was her father who had come up with this plan of faking her death, then having her show up again under a new identity.No man could resist a true love who'd "come back from the dead".But Sebastian hadn't fallen for it, and he'd seen right through the whole scheme. He even dug into the two incidents between "Jenna" and me. He discovered how she'd provoked and maliciously framed me over and over.Sebastian was eaten up with regret; his guilt and heartache over what he'd done to me drove him insane, so he took it all out on the Wards.He launched the most ruthless retaliation against them. Before long, the Ward family business, already hanging by a thread, finally went under for good.Nina's parents were hounded by debt collectors and ended up jumping to their deaths together. With her family destroyed, she went out drinking alone late at night and got into a ca

The ink on the divorce certificate was barely dry before I turned around and got myself a new marriage certificate.Sebastian was convinced I was just doing it to spite him. I'd grown up with a silver spoon and was used to living in comfort. There was no way I'd last long going hungry and scraping by.Poverty puts every marriage to the test.Sebastian was certain that in a couple of days, Isaac and I would go our separate ways. Then, he would swoop in with some perfectly timed comfort and concern. I would finally realize that he was the man who suited me best.With that thought in mind, his anger over my remarrying someone else started to fade. Right now, he had more pressing problems to deal with.Ever since I'd moved out of the Holt residence, Jenna had been hovering around him every day. She spent all her time imitating Nina's expressions, gestures, and even her tone of voice. She constantly fussed over him, asked how he was doing, and bent over backward to please him for no re
