Chapter 43

Violette’s hair stood on end. Harvey made her feel mortified.

She felt like she could be crushed easily by him at any moment.

The people around shivered involuntarily, looking at Harvey’s cold face.

They thought, ‘How could Mr. Crawford, such a prodigy, have an affair?‘

Nicolas intended to say a few words to ease the atmosphere. He hadn’t expected Violette to drag Harvey into this mess.

He couldn’t afford to offend Harvey, as Harvey’s influence in Ranard City was way more powerful than theirs.

He said, “Mr. Crawford, my sister is just…”

Nicolas had just begun speaking when another voice rang out, “Who is trying to slander my niece?”

Upon hearing the voice, Zoya abruptly turned, only to see Arthur Stone entering the press conference, accompanied by Wren Richmond.

Zoya quickly approached Arthur, asking, “Uncle Arthur, why are you here?”

“Child, why didn’t you tell me that you’re getting a divorce today?” Arthur looked at Zoya with a reproaching gaze.

However, his face was full of heartache, especially since he had heard Violette slandering Zoya about infidelity before he came in. It pained him even more.

He thought, ‘If Felix and Celina saw their daughter enduring such injustice, how heartbroken they would be!‘

“Your parents are gone, so I can be considered your guardian now. For something as significant as your divorce, I had to come,” Arthur said.

Zoya’s eyes reddened. Arthur was a very good friend of her parents and had watched her grow up.

Back then, she had received her parents‘ ashes from Arthur. To her, Arthur was like family.

“Who are you?” Nicolas asked, looking at Arthur. “I’ve never heard Zoya mention having any uncle.”

Today, Arthur was not in his military uniform. He wore ordinary clothes.

“You are Zoya’s husband?” Arthur looked at Nicolas with a sharp gaze.

Arthur had been in the military for over 30 years. The chilling aura cultivated from decades in the army gave Nicolas a heavy sense of oppression.

Before Nicolas could answer, Anica, standing nearby, impatiently said, “He won’t be for long. My son doesn’t want to be with a woman like Zoya!”

“Your son is not worthy of Zoya. How can someone who wouldn’t even help Zoya bring back her parents‘ ashes be her husband!” Arthur said furiously.

Anica spat, “Ashes are nasty. You want my son to be the one to go bring them back? Dream on!

“That day, Zoya brought the urn home and wanted to keep it there for a few days. I slapped her so she could give up on that idea.

“If she really dared to keep the urn at home, I would smash it. She’s trying to bring bad luck to my family. How malicious…”

Chapter 43

Arthur trembled with rage, only then realizing his comrade’s daughter had suffered such an injustice.

Harvey and Eowyn were even more furious. Eowyn was on the verge of tears.

She finally realized what had motivated Zoya’s decision to divorce.

She though. How could Nicolas treat Zoya like this?”

Anica became increasingly smug as she spoke. Suddenly, a cold male voice came, “Strike!”

Immediately after, a vicious slap landed on Anica’s face, abruptly halting her malicious words.

Everyone was stunned. The slap was delivered by Wren’s subordinate, but Wren was the one who gave the order.

Araca was dazed from the hit, only reacting a moment later. She immediately screamed, “Zoya, you’re colluding with outsiders to deal with me.

Zoya pressed her lips together tightly and said nothing.

“Back then, when you wanted to start a business and had no money, I gave you 500 thousand dollars to get you started,

“Nicolas, the reason I’m divorcing you and not asking for anything else, only for you to return the 500 thousand dollars, is that I no longer want to stay in this marriage.

“I don’t want to be repulsed by your family any further!”

Zoya’s voice rang out.

The way everyone looked at Nicolas changed again. Everyone knew that Nicolas, the tech mogul, started from scratch.

However, they didn’t know that his wife actually provided the initial capital he used to start his business.

Now that they were divorcing, he wasn’t even willing to give back this money.

“You can say whatever you want now. I could also claim this startup fund was given to my brother by my mom!” Violette

retorted.

Eowyn glared at Violette. “If your family could have truly provided that money to Nicolas back then, he wouldn’t have been so poor that Zoya’s wedding ring was just a 70–dollar item from a thrift store!”

“How could Zoya possibly have such a large sum of money? She is an orphan!” Violette said.

“That was the compensation for Zoya’s parents‘ sacrifice!” Eowyn’s words were like a clap of thunder from a clear sky. Suddenly, the entire place fell silent.

Nicolas, who had been silent until then, his pupils suddenly constricted as he looked at Zoya in disbelief.

He thought, ‘That startup fund from back then was the military bereavement allowance for her parents?

‘How is this possible!‘
