a deep breath, maintaining a calm expression. The old me might have felt hurt or even frightened by such accusations, but now–i felt an

Inexplicable calm.

“Mr. Grey,” I began, my voice steadier than I’d expected, ‘I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Sebastien stepped forward, his scent–cedar mixed with rain–soaked earthwashing over me. Once, this scent made my heart rate; now it only

made me tense.

“Don’t play dumb,” he said coldly. “Your relationship with Marcus Foster is being discussed throughout the design department.”

I raised an eyebrow, looking directly into his gray–green eyes, now darkened with anger. Marcus Foster? He was seriously taking the

conversation in this direction?

I’ve only been at Crescent Design a few days,” I responded calmly. “If you don’t have evidence, Mr. Grey, please don’t spread rumors. I thought as CEO, you’d value evidence over gossip.”

His expression grew icier, something unreadable flashing in his eyes. I silently wondered: why was he suddenly so concerned about my private life? In the past two years, he’d never cared about anything I did. Our marriage was just a political performance, and he hadn’t even given me a

real mate mark.

I looked directly at him, feeling a hint of defiance rise within me. “Are you perhaps… regretting your decision to terminate our mate

relationship, Mr. Grey?”

His brow furrowed sharply, a wild gleam flashing in his eyes as if my words had provoked the wolf inside him.

‘Divorcing you is something I’ve dreamed of,” he sneered, his lips curling into a cold smile. “Our wolf mate relationship has no meaning

whatsoever.”

In that moment, I felt like something sharp had pierced my heart. No meaning? Two years of waiting and endurance, dismissed so casually with a single sentence. I clenched my jaw, refusing to show any pain.

“Then we’re in agreement,” I forced myself to smile. “I’m also eager to end this relationship. It’s long overdue.”

I noticed Sebastien’s eyes flash with a violent gleam–the sign of an Alpha wolf about to lose his temper. His fingers trembled slightly, knuckles

shouldn’t white, as if suppressing some powerful impulse. Why such an intense emotional reaction? If he was truly desperate to get rid of me,

he be happy now?

‘So eager to divorce me,” his voice lowered, carrying a dangerous calm. “Is it so you can run away with Noah Phillips?”

I almost laughed out loud. Noah? He was bringing up Noah? What did this mean? Had Sebastien been monitoring my social activities? Or did he have some particular hostility toward Noah?
