The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 276

Meanwhile.

At the Sinclair Group.

Seraphina Sinclair had stepped back into her role as Vice President.

It wasn't because she was bullied by family ties, nor was it due to a lack of competence.

It was simply that sitting in the top seat was far more agonizing than she had anticipated.

All she had done was fire a few ungrateful, backstabbing executives, and suddenly the lower ranks were acting like rabid dogs, condemning her as ruthless.

These managers had deliberately concealed fatal project flaws, pocketed massive kickbacks, and destroyed the company's reputation. What was wrong with sending criminals like that to prison?

Who gave them the right to challenge her?

Seraphina's social energy was strictly reserved for acquiring profit.

She had no intention of wasting it on rabid dogs.

What was the point of trying to reason with them?

They deserved a swift blow to the head before they could bite.

But dealing with the actual fallout was a chaotic nightmare.

So, Seraphina needed Sebastian to come back and clean up the mess.

Sebastian was useless—she knew that.

But he was exceptionally good at damage control.

The Sinclair family's decline was entirely his fault. The parasitic relatives infesting the company had grown greedy under his lenient watch. He had even allowed those same relatives to betray his own sister under the guise of maximizing Sinclair Group's profits.

When everything had blown up in his face, Sebastian had known he was in the wrong. He had voluntarily handed the reins to Seraphina and even posted in the management group chat that he was stepping down due to "illness."

He had been terrified that people would find out he was ousted for incompetence.

A minor surgery and half a month hiding in a hospital bed.

Wow, what a fragile, helpless man.

But who gave him permission to run away?

The parasites in the company were universally hated, yet no one had dared to act against them until Seraphina stepped up. And when she brought the hammer down, they suddenly branded her as cruel. Were they expecting her to purge the entire corporate structure, only to demand she hand the spotless company back to her brother?

The world didn't work like that.

She would never forget the slap Sterling Sinclair had given her in Sebastian's hospital room.

Truthfully, her disillusionment with her family had started shortly after she returned from abroad. When she had tried to entangle herself with Maloney, he had retaliated by threatening Sinclair Group's partnerships. Her parents hadn't hesitated to try and ship her out of the country again.

A family that didn't put her first didn't deserve to be called family.

If her grandfather were still alive, they would never have dared treat her this way.
