Her Divorce, His Downfall (Sophia and Damian) novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104

Damian could hardly believe this was the behavior of a young lady from the distinguished Anderson family.

The girl before him was overbearing, throwing her weight around and hurling insults without a second thought.

His mind drifted to Sophia, who was always humble, caring toward her family, and generous with her staff.

Born into nobility, she possessed a kind heart and impeccable manners.

He remembered her sharing how she’d

met Stella.

picked on the vulnerable.

That was why she’d stepped in to help Stella that day. They later exchanged numbers and became friends.

If Sophia were here tonight, she would never have insulted anyone the way Isabelle just did.

But hadn’t Isabelle always been like this?

Ever since his marriage to Sophia brought them into contact, she’d been wild, unrestrained, and lived by her own rules.

Damian used to see a reflection of his

younger self in her–brash and unfiltered -and hadn’t minded it.

grandmother, calling her spirited, youthful, and endearing.

Tonight, however, none of that charm remained. Her actions struck him as deeply unattractive.

In contrast, Olivia’s composure under pressure and her quiet resilience drew his admiration.

If Sophia were here, she’d side with Olivia, too.

Releasing Isabelle’s hand, Damian spoke calmly yet firmly, “Apologize.”

Isabelle’s delicate brows knitted together in disbelief as she stared at him, stunned.

Isabelle Anderson.”

Before she could gather her words, Olivia lifted her glass and drained it.

The strong liquor hit her throat, making her wince and cough several times.

Once she caught her breath, she raised teary eyes toward Isabelle, her voice hoarse and pleading.

“This is all my fault. I said the wrong thing and upset you. I’m not good with words… I’m inexperienced and don’t know any better.”

She sniffled, nails digging into her palms, looking utterly pitiful.

really desperate for money. I’d never dare to challenge you.

“You’re a young heiress from a great family. Please, be magnanimous. Have

mercy on someone like me–a country bumpkin with no worldliness. Just… take pity on me, okay?”

With every self–deprecating word, Olivia painted herself into the dust.

She simultaneously cast Isabelle as the villain: arrogant, oppressive, and cruel.

But Isabelle hadn’t forced her to drink.

Olivia’d chosen that herself. Why should she be made out to be the monster here?

to hold back, she shoved Olivia.

“What’s wrong with you? Who asked for your apology?”

With a sharp gasp, Olivia lost her footing and stumbled backward—right into Damian’s steadying arms.

He held her securely, his eyes turning icy.

“Isabelle. That’s enough.”

Isabelle was sure she hadn’t pushed hard enough for such a dramatic fall.

Such clumsy acting. How could Damian not see through this act?

Was he really taken with her?

Sophia had been gone for less than three

months.

He’d always claimed to love her deeply.

How could he move on so quickly?

She’d schemed to remove Sophia, even called off her engagement with Connor.

What did that make her now?

Searching Damian’s face for any trace of his usual indulgence, Isabelle found only

cold detachment.

And perhaps, there was a flicker of disgust.

Her heart sank, a sharp, twisting pain 12:23

Damian didn’t look at her again.

His attention dropped to Olivia, who was now pressed lightly against him.

A faint, sweet fragrance wafted from her.

For a fleeting second, something stirred within him, but it vanished as quickly as it

came.

Surrounded by Damian’s clean, woody scent, Olivia’s ears flushed pink.

She kept her head down, too embarrassed to meet his gaze.

Once she regained her senses, she tried to pull away.

However, his arm remained firmly around her waist, holding her in place.

Lucas, watching the entire exchange,

let out a low whistle, breaking the tense silence.

“Well played, Damian.”

The mood shifted instantly. Encouraged, others joined in with cheers and teasing

remarks.

“Cheers to Damian finally moving on!”

“Congratulations, man! You’ve landed yourself a beauty.”

“See? I knew he wouldn’t stay down

forever.”

“Out with the old, in with the new. Congrats!”

Amid the growing noise, Isabelle stood alone in the corner, watching them embrace.

All color drained from her face.
