LOGINI looked at the woman groveling at my feet. All I felt was disgust."Wendy," I said slowly. "Do you know what you did wrong?"She seemed to see a glimmer of hope and nodded hurriedly. "I know. I shouldn't have lied to you, and I shouldn't have cheated on you with Zachary. I shouldn't have—" "No," I said, cutting her off. "Your biggest mistake was never being satisfied. I settled all the household matters. You enjoyed my thoughtfulness, but also wanted the reputation and resources that the Shea family could give you. "You saw me as a reliable sanctuary, but Zachary was the one you showed off to the world. "You thought you could control everything, but you forgot that power is a double-edged sword."I pulled my leg out of her clutches and stepped back to distance myself from her."Also," I said, looking at her messy, tear-streaked face. "Don't ever say you love me again. Your love is worthless, and I think it's disgusting."I turned and walked toward the Rolls-Royce Phantom, s
Zachary and Wendy both collapsed to the ground, as if they had lost all feeling in their legs.I walked toward them and stared down at them as if I was looking at rubbish."Wendy, I gave your family a chance to turn Lindell Corp from a D-grade company to a top-class company. I did it because I loved you and because I loved our family. I hid my identity so that we could be a regular couple that didn't have to care about money or status."I let you become the CEO because I wanted to make your dreams come true, but you treated me as an obstacle that you chewed up and spat out."I looked at her and said almost tonelessly, "If I could save you, I can toss you away just as easily."I scoffed. "My bad. I didn't just save you. I was the only reason you could survive."My words completely destroyed the last shred of sanity that Wendy and Zachary had left.Zachary was completely expressionless. His gaze was dead and empty as he chanted, "It's over. It's all over…"The Shea family was ban
"Guards!" Lindsay roared.Two bodyguards approached and dragged the screaming, crying Zachary away as if he were just a sack of rubbish.I ignored his desperate cries and walked slowly toward Wendy. I looked at her contorted face and said calmly, "Wendy, I remember you said that you could call yourself the richest woman in Javeton since I called myself the school's chairman."With a scoff, I continued, "Sorry, but that's a no-go. I'm the richest person in Javeton, and…" I paused before saying, "This school is just one of my many ventures."Wendy shook her head in disbelief. She stammered out, "I-Impossible. How could you be the richest person in Javeton?"Coldly, I replied, "Why not? As if you have a chance. Did you really think you became the CEO because of your skills, or because of the Shea family's help? You're just a piece of useless trash. Your mom didn't even try to rely on you for help. I was the one she asked to help save Lindell Corp from bankruptcy."I stepped toward W
I began speaking into the receiver in a scarily calm voice. "Ms. Lindell, this is Terence. I'm at Erudite International School. In ten minutes, come and settle your family's mess."The moment I finished speaking, Wendy and Zachary looked at each other before breaking out into laughter. "Hahaha! He's insane! How can he be so confident? I can't believe he's still putting on this act!" Wendy could barely stand straight with how hard she was laughing."My family's mess? Terence, who do you think you are? A king? Listen. Even if you were a king, I still wouldn't be scared of you!"Zachary waved a hand and said mockingly, "Let's go! Let's go wait at the gates. I'd like to see who he hired to show up for him in ten minutes!"They strolled toward the school gates.Soon enough, they all heard a loud screech of tires.They all looked in the direction of the loud noise.They saw a long line of cars with a black Rolls-Royce Phantom at the very front. The succession was speeding toward the
When Vincent hung up, he was barely even able to stand up straight.When he looked at me again, his expression was no longer tinged with disdain. Instead, he looked at me with fear and respect."Mr. Lynch, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and stamp our enrollment form. My time is expensive, you know. A single minute could cost millions of dollars," Wendy said impatiently when she saw that Vincent hadn't stamped their form yet.Instead of answering her, Vincent shot upright. He almost flipped the desk in his rush to stand up.He walked around the huge desk and hurriedly approached me.Then, he did something that made everyone's jaw drop.He began to grovel toward me. He said loudly, "Mr. Howards! W-What are you doing here? I'm so sorry for not noticing your presence earlier! Please forgive me for my lack of respect!"The moment he said that, the room fell silent.Wendy's smile immediately froze.Zachary's eyes widened in disbelief as he dropped his coffee cup."Mr. Lynch, yo
I laughed. "Wendy, if I'm a hooligan, then you're a street rat. Your mother chose me to be your husband. Are you sure you want to do that to me?"Wendy's expression faltered for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and smirked disdainfully. "So what if my mom chose you? I was just being polite, but I guess you mistook it for kindness. You didn't assume I loved you just because I married you, right?"Zachary became even more cocky after hearing Wendy publicly insult me."Terence, you can't blame Wendy. You only have yourself to blame for being so gullible. You're just a nobody. How can you help her with her career? I can give her Shea Group's resources and help her rise to new heights. What do you have to offer? Your love? That's worthless!"I shook with anger. My fury rushed to my head, and I raised a hand, about to slap her.However, Wendy grabbed my wrist and screamed, "Can you stop? Terence, stop embarrassing yourself!"She tossed my wrist away, causing me to stumble backward
