Back at the entrance of the Madden Group, Remington lost all interest in indulging the media once he saw Lizetta's car drive away.
His gaze swept over the reporters who had bombarded him with questions, and he simply said.
"There is no ex-wife. There is only Lizetta Madden. Only her."
He delivered the statement in a deep, resolute voice. Before the crowd could even process the implication, he turned to the reporter who had asked about the corporate merger.
"And if the Dashiell Group and the Madden Group ever merge, it will be because I joined the Madden family. The Maddens will absorb the Dashiell Group."
With a curt nod, he strode toward his own car.
Ray, who had just arrived with a team of bodyguards, swiftly moved in, clearing a path and holding back the frantic reporters still trying to chase him.
As Remington's car sped off, the reporters looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What did he mean just now? 'No ex-wife, only Lizetta'?"
"Huh? I have no idea."
"Do you know?"
Remington and Lizetta's previous marriage had been kept strictly secret. He was notoriously private, and his personal life was virtually a closed book.
Furthermore, ever since returning to the Madden family, Lizetta had kept a completely low profile. Not a single photo of her had ever been leaked online.
If Remington hadn't shown up today and openly revealed that she had grown up under Fiona Dashiell's care...
No one would have ever guessed that the Madden heiress had such deep ties to the Dashiell family, let alone expected him to drop the bombshell that he was pursuing her.
Naturally, no one knew that Lizetta was actually his ex-wife.
However, two reporters in the crowd looked downright electrified. Blessed with better insider connections, they had heard rumors over the years.
Piecing that together with what he had just declared, everything suddenly clicked into place.
They certainly weren't going to share this revelation with their rivals. Feigning ignorance, they quickly rounded up their crews and dashed off.
