Despite Susannah's desperate pleas, Julian's expression remained as impenetrable as a glacier. He didn't soften in the slightest.
He was a man driven by cold, hard calculations. Vivienne hadn't just messed with a relationship; she had struck at the very core of the Sinclair Group's interests.
The massive academic fraud, the global backlash, the corporate fallout, and the crashing stock price were all due to her selfish greed. For Julian, business always came before romance. Vivienne was now a massive liability. Cutting her loose was the only logical choice.
As for Toby, the public still believed Willow was his mother anyway. Vivienne's ultimate fate wouldn't really affect the boy's public image. As long as Julian could win Willow back, everything could be fixed.
In fact, given Willow's surging reputation, getting her back would be a huge win for the Sinclair Group. It would instantly repair their image and bring in massive partnerships.
In a twisted way, discarding Vivienne was the best business move he could make.
Susannah kept trying to convince him, but Julian's patience ran out.
He looked at his mother, his dark eyes void of any warmth. His words were razor-sharp and absolute. "The decision is final. There is no room for discussion. The lawyers will handle her tomorrow morning."
"Julian!" Susannah protested, but he was already walking away. Left with no choice, she could only sigh in defeat.
Inside the hospital room, Vivienne stood just behind the door, her nails digging into her palms until she bled.
She had heard every single word. Each syllable felt like a knife plunging into her chest.
She had clung to the desperate hope that Toby—the sweet, obedient son she had given him—would make Julian soften his stance. She hoped he would show at least a fraction of mercy.
