I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 60

She spoke with righteous indignation.

But Lyra completely understood.

If she were in their shoes, she'd feel totally ripped off too.

She let out a soft sigh. "Is there any way to sever those ties now?"

She had absolutely no intention of letting Maxwell continue to exploit her family.

Since they were getting divorced, she needed to cut those losses quickly and decisively.

Harrison set his fork down and said coolly, "Of course."

"I originally thought that if he saw the profits rolling in, he'd treat you better. But he didn't. Since you two are divorcing, there is absolutely no reason to keep this going."

At this, Harrison glanced at Miles, who had been sitting quietly.

"I've already tasked Miles with handling the separation."

Lyra nodded, a bright smile on her face. "If Miles is handling it, I have nothing to worry about."

That thought triggered another realization.

"Is Miles officially joining the company now that he's back?"

Miles had shown incredible talent from a very young age.

Whether it was crunching complex numbers or executing ruthless business strategies, he was exceptional.

Before her marriage, Miles had been the General Manager of the Lennox Group.

Under his leadership, the company had consistently turned a profit and experienced steady, phenomenal growth.

It was only after her massive fallout with the family, when she stubbornly married Maxwell, that Miles had enlisted in the military.

For the past few years, he had completely vanished from the public eye.

She asked the question because, to her, his return to the corporate world was a given.

But the moment the words left her mouth, Lyra acutely sensed the atmosphere at the table shift.

But before that, she had to finalize her resignation.

The next day.

Lyra arrived at the Sterling Group.

In his office, Director Lancaster looked at her without the usual disdain he always carried.

In fact, he seemed almost completely composed.

Lyra raised an eyebrow and pointedly reminded him, "I'm here to process my resignation. I know your time is valuable, so let's make this quick."

Hearing this, Director Lancaster replied coolly, "I've already prepared your resignation paperwork. You just need to take it down to HR to finalize things."

He paused for a beat before adding.

"The past doesn't matter anymore. I wish you all the best."

To Lyra, it was painstakingly obvious. He knew she was returning to the Lennox Group and was simply trying to avoid making an enemy out of her.
