Zoya suddenly laughed. Nicolas had clearly witnessed his mother’s lies and malicious behavior before, yet he still claimed to believe her.
It showed that he had never truly considered Zoya to be his family, not before, and it was even less likely he would in the
future.
Nicolas’s brows furrowed slightly as he asked displeasedly, “What are you laughing at?”
“Divorcing you is truly the most correct thing I’ve ever done!” Zoya said.
Nicolas’s expression changed.
uneasy.
Although their divorce was to be announced today, hearing such words from her at that moment still made him feel
This feeling was gradually turning into a sharp pain, as if reminding him that he would lose something important.
Nicolas deliberately ignored that sharp pain. “If you refuse to apologize, then forget about the 500 thousand dollars you [ requested!”
As soon as he said that, Eowyn, who was standing by, angrily shouted, “Nicolas, how dare you
Zoya’s parents…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Zoya stopped her. “Eowyn, let me handle this.”
After speaking, Zoya picked up her phone and opened a video that had just been recorded.
That 500 thousand dollars is
The video astonishingly showed the scene where, after Zoya had just entered, Anica approached, intending to hit her, but failing to do so, then staged a scene of herself being hit.
“Nicolas, do you still trust your mother now?” Zoya said sarcastically.
Nicolas choked, a flash of embarrassment crossing his face. He turned and looked at his mother and sister in surprise.
He asked, “When I bailed you out, didn’t you promise me you wouldn’t be like this again?”
Anica and Violette flinched.
Jasmine spoke up for them. “Anica and Violette are just angry that Zoya refused to provide a letter of understanding.
“After all, you were once family. There’s no need to go to such extremes!”
Saying this, Jasmine looked at Zoya. “If I were you, I would never kick someone when they’re down.”
Violette looked at Jasmine gratefully. “Jasmine, you’re so kind, not holding my past mistakes against me.
“Once my brother and Zoya divorce, I’ll make sure he marries you right away!”
Zoya watched amusedly as Jasmine and Violette now acted as close as sisters.
It seemed they had forgotten how they were fighting and blaming each other at the police station.
Soon, it was time for the press conference, Journalists, along with senior executives from Mayer Technology and representatives from Mayer Technology’s partners, all showed up.
Zoya and Nicolas sat in the center of the stage.

Nicolas said. “Today, I called this press conference to first announce that Zoya and I have decided to officially divorce.”
As soon as he said this, the scene erupted in an uproar.
However, Nicolas immediately added. “The patent for the drone program application filed by Zoya during the marriage will belong to Mayer Technology after the divorce takes effect.
“It will be exclusively developed by Mayer Technology.”

“Additionally, you are trying every possible way to make her leave with nothing. This move is truly exploitative, even crueler than a vampire!”
Immediately, everyone looked towards him, and surprise flashed in the eyes of some reporters who recognized Harvey.
They thought, “Unexpectedly, this famous powerful young man from Ranard City would appear here. It is clear he is there to stand up for Zoya
Nicolas’s expression slightly changed. He stood up and said defiantly, “Mr. Crawford, your words are a bit too harsh. Zoya and I applied for the patent together after our marriage.
“It is our joint property and is owned by the company. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Harvey sneered, “Not all patents applied for after marriage can be considered joint property.

“Zoya developed this patent alone. What does it have to do with you?”
Violette retorted loudly, “How do you know it has nothing to do with my brother? He graduated from Ibury University.
“What ability does Zoya have? She just used what my brother’s research to apply for this patent!”
Little did she know, once she spoke those words, it would only make those in the know find it ridiculous.
Your brother graduated with a finance degree, didn’t he? Does he know how to code or understand how to manufacture drones? How could he apply for a drone–related patent?” Harvey said.
Violette’s expression stiffened. She retorted ungraciously, “What about Zoya? What did she do to apply for a patent?”
Eowyn stood up in anger. She snapped at Violette, “Zoya graduated from National Defense University and was the top student in Ranard City.
“Is that qualified enough? If your brother truly had the ability, he wouldn’t be trying to seize Zoya’s patent.
“He even tries to evade paying the 500 thousand dollars for the divorce!”
