**The Unseen Kingdom That Followed Me Into Every Dream by Alyndra Meron Valeen**
**Chapter 160**
“You make me sick, Sebastian! Just the sight of you makes my stomach churn! For heaven’s sake, she’s practically old enough to be your grandmother! What is wrong with you? Are you so consumed by your own vanity and thirst for power that you would stoop to this? Or is it that I simply don’t measure up to your expectations in bed?”
Her outburst only served to solidify what I had already suspected—Hera had completely lost her grip on reality.
“So let me get this straight… You genuinely believe that I achieved my current status solely because I became involved with a wealthy older woman?” I retorted, my voice steady despite the chaos swirling around us.
She let out a derisive laugh, one that dripped with disdain. “What other explanation could there possibly be?! I… I can’t even begin to express how utterly humiliated I feel for you. How immature can you be to let vanity lead you to such depths?”
“If it weren’t for her, a mere firefighter like you would never have transformed into a business mogul overnight! Who would possibly buy that story? No one! It’s utterly illogical, completely impossible—totally unreal!”
“I uncovered the truth, Sebastian. Baron Inc. sent out a notice stating that you were nothing more than a hired actor for their forum. It was all a performance, wasn’t it? He was merely indulging you out of respect for your sugar mommy, wasn’t he? And you, like a fool, bought into it!”
Her venomous words rolled off me like water off a duck’s back. I felt no shame, only a sense of disdain. Even after witnessing my abilities firsthand, she refused to see me as anything other than a pathetic failure. That was her verdict, and it would remain unaltered.
Fine. If pretending to play along could finally push her to finalize the divorce and cease her relentless pursuit, then I would accept this bizarre twist of fate.
I nodded, a calm smile creeping across my face. “Well, now that you’re aware, there’s no need for pretense. You’re correct. This is indeed who I am. To be honest, I wouldn’t have resorted to this if you hadn’t forced my hand, demanding 2.8 million dollars from me. Desperate men take desperate measures. Why are you acting shocked? Let’s just get this divorce finalized. The 2.8 million is on its way.”
And with that, I exited the vehicle.
Why should I care what a deceitful, delusional woman thought of me? I had accomplished precisely what I had set out to do. Enduring a few false accusations was a minor price to pay. Besides, even if I were a saint with an impeccable reputation, Hera would still find a way to think the worst of me.
She didn’t wait for me to take more than two steps before she sped away, tires screeching against the asphalt.
I walked back to Evanna’s car without glancing back. She looked at me, wide-eyed and bewildered. “Excuse me, but… was that a woman? Did you two have a fight? Who is she?”
“My soon-to-be ex-wife. We’re on the verge of divorce. Don’t worry about it. She’s just here to unleash her anger on me,” I replied, my tone casual as if I were discussing the weather.
