The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1248

Gian found a hint of his own heavy burden lifting at her nonchalant attitude. He nodded, his tone serious. "Alright. I'll see you at the register office tomorrow."

-

The next morning, the crowd at the register office wasn't too large. Gian and Kirsten walked in side by side. Photos, signatures, and stamps—in less than half an hour, two small, foil-stamped marriage certificates were placed in their hands.

Kirsten held the certificate. It felt surreal. It seemed like only yesterday she was agonizing over a marriage of convenience, and today she was Gian's legal wife. The change was so fast it left her feeling a little disoriented.

The sun was bright as they stepped out of city hall, almost blinding. Gian handed one of the certificates to her, his voice solemn. "Kirsten, regardless of why we entered this marriage, from this day forward, I will fulfill my duties as a husband." He looked her in the eye, enunciating each word. "If you ever want a divorce, to pursue your own freedom, I will cooperate. I won't stand in your way."

Kirsten paused for a second, then smiled, tucking the certificate into her purse. "Don't worry, I'm not thinking about divorce just yet. After all, 'Mrs. Atwood' has a nice ring to it."

She looked up at Gian. "We don't need to risk an expedition to Antarctica. All we have to do is focus the Atwood family's power on the Gaylord Group and Vanguard Technologies. We dig into their financial loopholes, uncover their illegal activities, and make their companies tremble. Sooner or later, when they can't handle the pressure, one of them will have to come back from Antarctica to put out the fire."

Kirsten paused, her smile widening. "And the moment they return, we'll have our chance. We can either force them to trade Danielle and Alexander for the survival of their companies, or we can lay a trap right here and take them down for good."

Gian stared at her. He had always thought of Kirsten as a pampered heiress, but he never imagined she possessed such sharp business acumen and steady strategic thinking. He picked up the financial report, his finger tracing the loss data, and the fog in his mind cleared. He realized that you don't always have to charge into the dragon's den to save someone. Sometimes, hitting them where they're weakest is the smartest move.
