Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 326

The call had ended, completely cutting off Elara's repulsive voice, but the infuriating words continued to echo endlessly in Vivian's mind, driving her dangerously close to madness.

—Get out!

—Don't ever show your face again!

—I never want to hear that voice again!

Vivian pressed both hands hard against her ears, screaming silently.

But the voice that tore at her sanity clung to her like a persistent nightmare, and no matter how violently she shook her head, she couldn't dislodge it!

After what felt like an eternity, Vivian finally gave up, throwing herself defeatedly into a single armchair. She grabbed a cup, filled it at the water dispenser, and chugged several glasses in a row just to force her racing heart to slow down.

Now was not the time to waste energy on being angry.

It was just millions of dollars; it wasn't worth throwing a fit over such a trivial sum.

The summons had arrived. Elara was absolutely determined to drag her to court. Right now, aside from securing a lawyer, the most critical step was figuring out how to weaponize this lawsuit in her favor.

She was already the defendant. She couldn't just sit around doing nothing, passively waiting for the trial to start only to write a check, right?

As she forced her breathing to steady, all the logic and reason that had abandoned her began to return.

Quickly, Vivian discarded the idea of asking her father for help with a lawyer or finding one on her own. Clutching her phone and the summons, she stormed out of the conference room and made a beeline for the CEO's office.

Julian was in the middle of giving instructions to an executive manager. A knock sounded at the door, but before he could even call out, it was shoved open.

Seeing Vivian barge in unannounced, Julian instinctively frowned.

The meeting was already wrapping up anyway. Catching the mood, the executive quickly made an excuse and slipped out of the office.

With the manager gone, they were the only two left in the room, but Vivian stayed rooted to the spot.

Realizing how impulsive she had just been, she stood nervously by the door, not daring to step closer.

"Julian," Vivian murmured apologetically. "I'm sorry."
