No Sex for Six Years Because of Her? I'm Done novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Pull Out My Investment

The embarrassment of being caught doing something she shouldn’t have.

It forced Amelia to temporarily put away her curiosity, resignedly straightening up and obediently walking into a small room on the second floor.

Having witnessed this with his own eyes, Ethan’s expression darkened even further.

Since when had Mason become so familiar with even Amelia’s smallest habits and movements?

Only after confirming that Amelia had gone upstairs did Mason withdraw his gaze and turn back to Ethan, whose face was clouded with anger.

He rested his injured arm on the armrest of the couch.

His entire presence radiated a calm, overwhelming sense of control.

Then, Mason spoke, his tone even.

“Ethan, divorce Amelia.”

“What?” Ethan’s face changed drastically.

“No. I refuse.”

The rejection burst out almost reflexively.

The only reason he still showed Mason any respect was out of consideration for Amelia.

And now this man was telling him to divorce his own wife.

It was absurd.

Blood rushed straight to Ethan’s head.

Yet in the very moment he spoke, Ethan realized that although he was the one who should have had the moral high ground, his momentum was completely crushed by the man in front of him.

Mason watched his extreme reaction and let out a cold, mocking laugh. “Why are you so shocked?”

As if he had already seen through everything, he continued slowly, “Wasn’t this option already on your table?

“The Rowe Group’s stock price lately…” he paused deliberately, “…hasn’t been looking very good, has it?”

Ethan’s pupils shrank violently.

Ever since the photos involving Amelia were exposed, public opinion online had completely exploded.

For the CEO of a publicly listed company, this was a near–fatal blow to his image.

The Rowe Group’s stock price had plunged accordingly, wiping out billions in market value in a short time.

Even worse, all kinds of outrageous rumors began circulating.

Some said Amelia had married into the family for money in the first place, and now that something like this had happened, she must have sensed trouble ahead–thinking the Rowe empire was about to crumble–so she rushed to secure her next option.

What had once been an enviable high–society marriage instantly became, in the public eye, proof that the Rowes were all show and no substance.

At the morning shareholder meeting, impatient investors had already started applying pressure, urging him, indirectly but insistently, to resolve his family issues as soon as possible.

Some even bluntly suggested that Ethan immediately go public and tell the media that his relationship with Amelia had long since broken down, that they were in the process of divorcing, and that any actions taken by the woman had nothing to do with him or the Rowe Group.

Sacrifice the pawn to save the king.

It was indeed the fastest way to stop the bleeding.

But to Ethan, it was the most humiliating last resort.

Deep down, he still harbored feelings for Amelia–along with a narrow, stubborn sense of possessiveness.

Thinking this, Ethan took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his chest, trying to straighten his back and sound firm.

“Mason, I have my own ways to deal with the company’s issues.

“And that doesn’t mean I have to divorce Amelia. She is my wife.”

He emphasized the last sentence heavily.

“Hmph.”

Mason scoffed without the slightest courtesy.

“My wife…” he repeated the words with a hint of amusement, then lifted his eyes, his gaze sharp as a blade. “Ethan, now you decide to play the devoted husband?”

His tone shifted abruptly, turning razor–sharp.

“You’ve been far too close to Hannah. Amelia has caught you with her more than once, so you’ve always carried a sense of guilt. Now that these photos of Amelia are out, don’t you suddenly feel relieved?

“As if the score’s been settled. That bit of guilt disappears, and you even feel like you’ve grabbed hold of her weakness?”

Each of Mason’s words peeled Ethan’s thoughts apart like layers of an onion, ruthlessly exposing the darkest corners of his mind.

The color drained from Ethan’s face.

He wanted to argue, but when he opened his mouth, not a single word came out.

Because Mason had hit the mark.

“This has nothing to do with you!” After a long pause, Ethan finally forced the words out through clenched teeth, his gaze evasive. “No matter what happens between Amelia and me, that’s between the two of us!”

“Is that so?”

Mason seemed to lose patience with continuing this pointless exchange.

“With the Rowe Group’s current situation–trouble inside and out–it’s nothing more than a spent force.

“The reason you still think you have a way out is that you’re counting on the cooperation project with my company. There’s still massive profit there, enough to help you weather this

crisis.”

Ethan’s pupils contracted again.

Mason’s voice continued, carrying the weight of a verdict.

“Then what if,” Mason looked indifferently at the stiffened Ethan, “I pull out my investment

now?”

Those few light words exploded in Ethan’s mind like a bomb.

Pull out?

“No–Mason, you can’t do that!” Ethan immediately lost his composure, nearly shouting, “This is a critical stage of the project! How can you pull out now?!”

Withdrawing funding now would be nothing short of cutting the lifeline at its source.
