The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 740

"I didn't expect her to actually ask for one either."

"Then just divorce her, Ellison. Let her regret it."

"No, I can't divorce her."

"Why not?"

"She's a failure as a wife, but the company still needs her. I have to use the marriage to keep her tied down so she keeps working for us."

Lavinia pouted. "Is she really that talented?"

"It's not that she's incredibly talented, she's just highly useful."

"What about in bed?"

"Nowhere near as good as you."

That earned a triumphant giggle from Lavinia, and the two of them shamelessly resumed their intense rhythm.

Marin was already trembling violently with rage. She stepped forward to storm the room, but Penelope held her back. She watched as Penelope pulled out her phone and quietly recorded a video of the tangled pair. Once she had enough footage, Penelope gave Marin a firm nod.

"No talking. Just swing!"

Penelope charged in first. Giving the cheating bastards zero time to process what was happening, she landed a brutal kick on each of them, followed by a flurry of devastating punches.

"I've seen some shameless garbage in my life, but you two set a whole new record! If heaven won't strike you down, I'll do it myself!"

She continued raining blows on them with absolute fury.

Marin charged in right behind her, delivering two vicious, echoing slaps directly to Ellison's face. "I must have been blind! Living with a scumbag like you for eight years—you make me sick!"

Ellison had finally snapped out of his shock. As Marin raised her hand for a third strike, he caught her wrist and aggressively shoved her back.

"Marin, is this how you want to play it? Are you trying to destroy everything?!"

Seeing the absolute authority in Penelope's demeanor, Ellison was completely dumbfounded.

"Who... who the hell are you?"

"Who am I? That's none of your business. But today, I'm going to teach you a lesson in basic human decency!"

Penelope delivered another savage kick, sending Ellison sprawling on the floor, then stepped back so Marin could take her turn.

The manipulative little secretary tried to put on a show of protecting Ellison, so Penelope simply tossed them together into a corner, letting Marin vent years of frustration.

Once Marin was finally out of breath, Penelope stepped back from the bruised and battered couple.

Ellison spat blood, his eyes burning with malice. "Marin, as long as I say no, you can forget about quitting, and you can forget about a divorce!"

That was exactly the moment the video came into play. Penelope pulled up the clip and played it right in front of Ellison's face, her tone dripping with menace. "If you refuse, I'll upload this to the internet. Let's see how the esteemed CEO of Nexthrust survives in the business world once everyone sees what a shameless degenerate he really is!"
