Robert's POVIn that instant, the Quinlan family took a massive hit—thousands of employees were laid off, families were plunged into crisis, and widespread discontent broke out. Zachary had already fled abroad at that point, leaving Sophia to deal with the consequences.In the end, thanks to me, Dad took a serious hit to plug the Quinlan family's financial hole. Sophia was disowned and nearly left homeless, but I used my remaining savings to get her back on her feet so that she could slowly build back her standing with Quinlan Group.There were plenty in the business world who admired my decisiveness—so much so that one of the biggest names had even asked me to marry his daughter, saying that if I became his son-in-law, I would be the world's richest man for the next decade.Everyone assumed Sophia would be overwhelmed with gratitude and that I would win her heart in the end.I, however, knew that she didn't feel grateful to me at all. She held a grudge instead. That was because

Third-Person POVMike had already taken off, leaving Sophia by herself, clutching the boutonniere tightly with an unreadable expression. She slapped Zachary's hand away when he came over to help her up. She glared at him with pure hatred and got back on her feet, morphing right back into that ruthless, cold-hearted CEO. She stared off into the distance, her eyes bloodshot and puffy yet still as piercing as ever. She looked as though she could spot Robert's whereabouts from miles out. "You can't run from me, Robert!"…Robert's POVI couldn't be bothered when all hell broke loose back on the luxury cruise ship. I was still treading and swimming through the waves, and despite being relatively close to shore, swimming all the way back would still demand a great deal of effort.I felt a slight twinge of regret—not for ditching the wedding, but for skipping the lifeboat just to show off. I still would have jumped into the sea if I had to do it all over again, though, just because

Robert's POVSophia clung to me even tighter, looking just like a frightened kitten. She then said something that floored me completely. "I know you were reborn as well, Robert. I'm aware that I treated you terribly in our past life, but you already walked out on me at the wedding yesterday."Do you know what everyone is saying about me out there? Haven't you punished me enough already, Robert?"She sobbed uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face. "You used to shield me from everything, unable to bear seeing me hurt at all. You've already put me through so much. Haven't you gotten enough out of it, Robert?"So Sophia had been reborn too. It all made sense now. I slowly opened my eyes and let out a heavy sigh. "I'm sorry about screwing up your reputation by ditching the wedding, but I'm genuinely exhausted and can't do this anymore, Ms. Quinlan. Isn't this the perfect outcome for you and Zachary? You're free to give yourself completely to him now."I felt a wave of relie

Robert's POVSophia looked frantic as she broke down in tears and told me that there was a problem with the project involving illegal and criminal activities. She actually hadn't filled me in on any details when she told me to come out here for the project. She had simply asked me to set up a company in my name to handle the liaison work here, while I was actually just handling minor tasks. Sophia tearfully asked me what we should do, but I just wiped her tears and promised I'd figure something out for her."You and I are tied together since we're married. If we don't sort this out right away, the Quinlan family will go under…" she muttered.I looked at her bloodshot eyes and felt a pang in my heart. I paced around for a while before making up my mind and turning to Sophia. "Why don't we get a divorce, Sophia?"Sophia was stunned. "Y-You want a divorce? W-What will happen to you if we get a divorce, Robert?"I studied her eyes carefully and smiled wryly. "It's fine, Sophia.
