The moment the words left her mouth, her phone lit up with a notification. Preston's sharp eyes immediately caught the name "Quentin Shaw" on the screen.
His expression instantly turned terrifyingly dark. He reached out, grabbing Chloe and pinning her roughly against the wall.
"We aren't even divorced yet, and you two are already this impatient?
Or is he the real reason you're in such a rush to leave me?"
"What is so great about that man?
Do you even know him?
What can he possibly offer you?
Can he fund the luxury lifestyle you've gotten used to?
Are you sure you've thought this through?"
Blinding anger completely overpowered his rationality. Without giving her a chance to speak, he crashed his lips onto hers, kissing her with a savage, territorial dominance, desperately trying to reassert his claim.
Chloe fought back with everything she had, pushing hard against his chest.
"Are you out of your mind, Preston?
Do you want me to hate you?!"
"Hate me?" Preston forced her chin up, his grip firm. "If it keeps you safe from him, I don't mind."
"Do you even know his connection to Vantage Corp?
Quentin's people have always been our rivals. He knew you were my wife from the start. Why do you think he approached you?"
His blatant manipulation twisted the blame entirely onto her shoulders. Trembling with sheer rage, Chloe drove her knee hard into his leg.
"Get off me!"
"Who is actually sabotaging Vantage, Preston?
I don't believe for a second you're that blind! Who has been using Vantage's name to run underground criminal deals?
Who was so stupidly arrogant that they ruined the merger?"
