The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 322

He would figure it out eventually.

But then, through sheer, unadulterated brilliance, he built his own empire, becoming the absolute apex predator of their world.

He didn't need to leech off anyone.

The same hypocrites who once swore they were soulmates suddenly flipped the script, whispering that she simply wasn't good enough for him.

It was in that agonizing moment of betrayal.

That she finally understood true power could only be wielded by her own two hands.

Maloney completely ignored the provocation.

"Similarly."
