All Chapters of Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO: Chapter 501 - Chapter 510

He finally understood the truth that day: Robert wasn’t Martha’s child at all, but the son of their father’s late first wife.Robert’s mother died on the operating table during childbirth, and their father resented him for it.So, when the will named Robert as the successor, everyone was shocked.They had always assumed that since Eric was the youngest, the most likely choice would have been Victor.Eric let out a cold snort. “He’s the family’s mutt. If he doesn’t listen to Mom, he deserves to get beaten. That’s what he gets.“Mom told him to sign the transfer papers. He refused. I just taught him a lesson for her. What about it?“He’s sat in that chair so long he’s forgotten whose family this really is.”So, what if he was the firstborn? He’d still have to step aside obediently.Eric had already planned it out—once he became CEO, Victor could run the company while he sat back and collected money.Just then, Robert’s phone rang. He checked the caller ID and answered.Ethan’s voice came

Eric’s confidence collapsed instantly, his earlier arrogance vanishing into thin air.Still, he forced himself to act tough, letting out a cold snort. “You’re lying. I already paid you two million. Why do you still want six?“You’re extorting me! I’ll sue you for blackmail and make sure you rot in prison.”The moment the words left his mouth, he regretted it because everyone was now staring at him differently.Only then did he realize that he had basically confessed everything himself.All of this was Robert’s fault. If he had signed that contract earlier, none of this would be happening.“Good. Confession makes things easier,” the scarred man said as he picked up the debt paper and pointed at a clause. “Take a good look, this is high-interest lending. Interest stacks every day. And the contract is perfectly legal.“Go ahead and sue me if you want. Debt is debt. You’re paying it back. Otherwise, don’t blame me for ruining the Long family’s reputation.“Let me be blunt. If I don’t get

Martha shot Eric a look; he understood and helped her to leave.But the scarred man blocked their path, sneering, “So you’re planning to stiff us and run? You really think we’re idiots?“You lot are useless—no honor among you. You live off your brother’s money and run off to have fun, and now you want to dump your gambling debts on him? Have you no shame? You leeching sacks of flesh make real men look bad.”He’d seen through Eric’s stalling.Of course, Eric was trying to dodge paying. How convenient to ride on Robert’s back and still sneer at him. Pathetic.Martha clutched her chest, moaning, “Oh, my chest, my old ailment’s acting up. I need to lie down; call a doctor.”She was grasping for an excuse to get Eric out of there her other sons could handle the debt.The scarred man waved to his crew; two of his henchmen stepped forward and seized Eric.He smiled at Martha. “You can go, but he can’t. This isn’t settled. He’s the one who owes. You put on quite a show; I’ve been merciful so f

“So, none of you want to pay, then tell me, should I break your left hand or your right?”Seeing the family’s hypocritical faces, his patience snapped; he wasn’t willing to wait any longer.Before anyone could react, the leader raised the club and brought it down hard onto Eric’s left hand.“Stop!” Martha suddenly jumped to her feet and shouted, “We’ll raise the money. Let Eric go first. We’ll scramble for the cash right now.“Maria, go upstairs and take down every piece of my gold and silver. Pawn them if you have to. Use whatever you can to pay.”At the thought of pawning her jewelry, pain crossed Martha’s face, but compared with Eric’s life, it was nothing.Robert sneered; he hadn’t expected they’d have another plan. He’d grown used to being leaned on, and everyone immediately assumed he would pay. He really was the family’s biggest patsy.Eric’s eyes flashed with panic; sweat beaded across his skin. He’d already sold most of that stuff. There was no way they could find anything.

Dennis had done all this precisely to avoid plugging the family’s financial black hole, and to force everyone to see Eric’s true nature.He wanted Martha to realize Eric wasn’t capable of taking over, so she would turn to him, the one who actually had competence, to become president.Martha fixed her gaze on Robert. “We’ve already given everything we can. The remaining three million is on you.“You’re the one who brought these people here. Originally, you were supposed to pay the whole sum. Now that I’m only asking for half, hurry up and pay!”This whole farce clearly wasn’t a coincidence. These men showed up not earlier, not later, but exactly now. They must have received inside information.The more she thought, the more convinced she became that Robert was behind it. After all, he had been delaying the transfer contract all this time. He looked the most suspicious.Robert curled his lips in a cold laugh. “They’re not here because of me. And I have no money to give you. Give up on th
