Did she truly not love him anymore?
Did she genuinely not care, was she completely Indifferent?]
If any feelings remained, how could she smile while saying such things…]
Tristan braced himself against the wall, the pain in his heart making it difficult to stand.[]
The greatest punishment wasn’t her wanting a divorce or leaving him–it was being completely erased from her heart []
He remembered how she used to look at him with adoration, loving him enough to agree to a secret marriage, sign a prenup, endure his parents‘ cold treatment, and happily remain by his side through it all.]
How had he managed to lose her?]
In the dining room.[]
Bang-
Howard slammed his hand on the table. “Adeline, a person can’t be this greedy. Ten percent of company shares? Do you think you’re worth that much?”
Adeline remained calm. “I see you don’t agree.
She sighed dramatically with mock disappointment. “In that case, convince your son to complete the divorce proceedings with this greedy‘ woman. I’m saving you $35 million, after all. Haven’t you always wanted a daughter–in–law from a suitable background? Now’s your golden opportunity. If Tristan gets tired of Evelyn, find him someone new. He always likes fresh women.“]
Adeline!”
Tristan strode in from outside.
His furious appearance immediately put the bodyguards on alert as they rushed to stand protectively in front of Adeline.]
Adeline calmly told them it was fine and asked them to step back.[]
The bodyguards gave Tristan wary looks as they moved aside, but remained in the room. They’d been paid for one job; protecting their client.[]
You’re late Your father and I have finished our discussion,” Adeline said with a placid smile.
Tristan spoke through gritted teeth. This is between you and me. It doesn’t matter who you talk to! Divorce? Dream on. Either kill me or kill yourself, because otherwise, it’s not happening!“]
He’d switched tactics again. After failing with stubbornness, sweet–talking, and begging, was he now resorting to intimidation?
Adeline pressed her lips together. Provoking a man in this state wasn’t wise.[]
And reasoning with him would be futile.[]
After a brief silence, she said, “You keep saying you won’t divorce me, that you still love me, but at the airport, you left me behind and carried Evelyn away. Can you honestly say you haven’t been with her these past few days?“]
Tristan was momentarily speechless.[]
Because he had indeed carried Evelyn away at the airport, abandoning Adeline. And Evelyn had been threatening suicide daily, forcing him to spend time with her.
“Let’s just end tlus. Continuing our marriage is completely meaningless,” Adeline urged reasonably.]
Tristan’s icy gaze fixed on her face as a cold laugh escaped his throat. “You’re in such a rush to be single again because you’re eager to become Zarek Weasley’s woman, aren’t you?“]
Howard was shocked[]
Whe
Zarek Weasley?
He recalled the tell man from the charity gala video, whose appearance and bearing were no less impressive than his son’s–the eldest son of Arthur Weasley
No wonder Adeline was an determined to divorce lus son–ahe wanted to marry into the Weasley family]
“Adeline, just because the Kelce doors opened for you, do you tunk the Weasley doors will open just as easily? Pure fantasy!“[]
Adeline Lunked at father and son in da belief (
Souk & deep breath to calm herself. “There’s nothing between Zarek and or Be careful with these absurd accusations–the Weasley’s might hold you accountable 1]
Then why was he at your spartand in the middle of the night? Tristan demandest

Chapter 76
He’d thought she would soften, that generous terms would settle the matter. Now it was clear she wouldn’t rest until she’d flayed the Kelce family alive.[]
Tristan remained silent []
He stared intensely at Adeline as if trying to burn a hole through her Finally, he spoke in an eerily calm voice: “Go ahead and sue. Use whatever tactics you want. I’ll play along
He pulled out a chair and sat down]
Adeline felt exhausted.[]
Howard exploded. What lawsuit? Haven’t we been humiliated enough? She has no feelings left for you. Let’s end this cleanly and move on![]
Tristan, if you agree to the divorce and complete the paperwork, Ill immediately delete the recording and all the evidence I’ve collected,” Adeline offered, hoping to persuade him []
“Are you both finished?“]
Tristan picked up his chopsticks. “Let’s eat first. “[]
WIE
Adeline suppressed the urge to smash her glass against his head and turned to Howard instead. “Please try to convince him. We were married once. I don’t want this to get uglier than it already is.
With that, she signaled to her bodyguards to wheel her out []
Tristan didn’t react.]
Adeline couldn’t be bothered with him anymore.[]
Outside.]
One bodyguard went to get the car while the other walted with her.[]
She felt a slight sense of relief.]]
Suddenly, several men approached from the entrance. Judging by their uniforms, they were Kelce estate security. They immediately restrained Adeline’s remaining bodyguard.]
“What are you doing?!”
Adeline’s internal alarm blared []
The next second, a shadow fell over her. Before she could stand and run, she felt herself being lifted into the air
Looking up, she saw Tristan’s cold, sinister face.[]
His eyes seemed to harbor a demon.[]
Adeline’s heart dropped as she began to struggle. “Put me down! What are you doing?!
Tristan ignored her, carrying her to his car.[]
He pushed her into the passenger seat from the driver’s side, locked the doors, and sped away.
As the car passed through the iron gates, it crossed paths with another vehicle entering the estate.[]
