My Husband Froze My Card on My Birthday novel Chapter 6

nstantly, the room’s atmosphere shifted again.

These people were shrewd–they knew exactly how to escalate the situation once I’d spoken.

“Let’s not pick sides just yet. Who knows who the real power player is? But the show… oh, the show must go

on.”

“Hahaha, exactly.”

“Work’s already tiring enough, but now we get a good show to entertain us, we’re definitely staying for it.”

Cora leapt forward, pointing a sharp finger in my face. “You bitch, don’t you dare push your luck.”

“So what if I said it? What are you going to do about it? Chris calls the shots here. You think because of Ms. Greene, I’ll follow through with the so–called promise? In your dreams! I won’t, and what are you going to do?”

Chris watched her with a fond, almost indulgent smile, reaching out to stroke her cheek gently. Looks like he

really adored her audacity, treasured her like a prized possession.

I sneered even more coldly, thinking, when the news of the Stevens family’s stock plunge came through, I

wondered if Chris would still be so affectionate with Cora.

Natalie raised an eyebrow and gave a subtle signal to her bodyguard.

The bodyguard understood immediately, and in the blink of an eye, he threw a punch that sent Cora stumbling right in front of me. The sight of her lying there was almost comical, like a dog.

“Since you said it, you must follow through with Ms. Stone’s instructions. Bite the meat and crawl out like a

dog.”

The bodyguard quickly brought over a plate of raw beef, dripping with blood. The sight was enough to make

Cora gag.

“Chris, please save me! I’d rather die than crawl out here like a dog!”

Cora’s screams only made Chris angrier, so he immediately ordered his men to take Cora away.

At that moment, Natalie’s people and Chris’s people clashed. But, of course, Chris’s people were quickly

taken down.

How could they compete with Natalie’s men? Her team was well–trained, after all.

Cora’s face turned pale once more, large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.

Chris glared at us with rage, his voice cold. “Natalie, I’ve shown you some respect, but don’t mistake it for weakness. Do you really think I can’t make you disappear from Boston overnight?”

“Don’t go against me just for someone like Emilia. That would be truly foolish.”

Natalie didn’t even bother to respond to Chris‘ threats. Instead, she kept her gaze lowered respectfully toward

1. me. “Everything proceeds as Stone wishes.”

I smiled, locking eyes with Chris. “So, it’s only okay for you to humiliate me, but I can’t get my revenge?”

“Contact the lawyer. Have the divorce papers brought here immediately. And make it fast.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Chris screamed at the top of his lungs. “You bitch! If anyone’s filing for

divorce, it’ll be me. What gives you the right to demand it?”

“Whether I have the right, you’ll understand once you sign the divorce agreement.”

“Oh, and by the way, your father might be on his way over soon to deal with you…”

“Shut your mouth! Who do you think you are? Why would he come here over someone like you?”

“I never realized how good you are at pretending. I don’t know what you did to get Natalie’s help, but she can help you for a moment, but she won’t be able to help you forever.”

While we were talking, the lawyer arrived with the divorce papers.

I signed my name and handed them over to Chris. Without a second thought, he signed the contract.

“Now that the divorce is settled,” I said calmly, “I no longer have any obligation to bring glory to the Stevens

family.”

“Within half an hour, the news will be out. Your family’s stocks will plummet and they won’t stop falling until

the Stevens name is nothing but a memory.”
