The atmosphere around them had shifted dramatically. Whispers rippled through the crowd, eyes narrowing in judgment as they turned toward Alvin, their expressions a mix of disbelief and contempt. It was astonishing to them that a man who presented himself with such decorum could stoop to such depths.

“Nonsense!” Diana’s voice cut through the tension like a knife, her fury palpable. “If Alvin hadn’t shown you a shred of kindness by taking you into this family, how on earth would you have ever found a place among us? All these years, what have you truly accomplished? Just a bit of dirty money, that’s all! If you had been willing to accept Sharon back then, would we have needed to cast you aside?” Her words dripped with scorn, each syllable laced with the weight of their shared history.

Layla inhaled deeply, trying to summon a sense of calm amidst the storm of emotions swirling within her. “Yes, I was the one who fell short, the one who failed to grasp the bigger picture. But at this point, I’d appreciate it if you would stop searching for me. There’s nothing left to tether us together.” Her voice trembled slightly, a mix of resolve and vulnerability.

Alvin, sensing the tension escalating, interjected hastily. “Layla, how can you possibly say that? Haven’t you ever heard the saying—once a couple, there’s always a hundred days of grace? Regardless of the circumstances, we were married for years. Don’t let pride cloud your judgment. Besides, Sharon has already assured me that she would welcome you back. You need not fret—she’s married now, yet she will still hear you out. And considering you’re working here, I can only imagine how overwhelmed you must be. Let me arrange for her to assist you; she can help lighten your burden.”

The onlookers were taken aback, their disbelief palpable. They hadn’t anticipated such unabashed audacity from anyone, let alone Alvin.

Lillian shot him a scathing look, her disdain evident. “Is that your grand strategy? I’ve heard tales of men in ancient times keeping multiple wives, but I never imagined I would witness such a spectacle in modern times. Bold, I must say. Truly bold.”

With a flick of her wrist, she turned to Linda. “Go to Legal and summon Mr. Amos. Just tell him there’s a case that requires his immediate attention.”

Linda nodded, her expression serious, and hurried up the stairs.

Alvin’s demeanor shifted, a flicker of panic darting across his face. “What’s the meaning of this, miss? This matter is strictly between a husband and wife—it doesn’t concern you at all. I would appreciate it if you kept your distance.”
