Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 405

Arthur took a deep breath, suppressing his boiling rage as he tried to lecture Raymond from a paternal high ground.

"Thankfully, only the board of directors were present today. For the sake of their own investments, they'll keep their mouths shut."

"While the circle of people who know is still small, you need to divorce Quinn immediately."

"After that, I'll personally arrange a marriage with an heiress of matching status to solidify the group's foundation. It's the best option for both you and the family."

"Never going to happen."

Raymond shut it down instantly, not hesitating for a fraction of a second.

His expression was rock-solid, leaving zero room for negotiation.

"I am not divorcing Quinn. She is the only wife I'll ever acknowledge in this lifetime. You'd better drop this fantasy right now."

"I came back to take over the company for Grandpa's dying wish, not for you."

"I promised Grandpa that if I had the power, I would return and protect the empire he spent his life building."

Raymond's mother had died of an amniotic fluid embolism while giving birth to him, a tragedy that made Arthur resent him from day one.

In his early years, Silas Moretti had shielded him, pouring care and education into him. Tragically, Silas passed away when Raymond was only eleven.

That very same year, Arthur had shipped Raymond overseas.

They called it 'studying abroad', but it was virtually an exile from the Moretti family.

"I didn't come back here to become a pawn in a corporate marriage. Status and wealth mean absolutely nothing to me if I can't share them with the woman I love."

His unyielding defiance thoroughly ignited Arthur's suppressed fury.
