Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 382

"..."

Sarah was originally skeptical.

But after seeing the results of today's trial, she actually believed Elara.

Suddenly, she was incredibly curious about how Elara would have handled that exact scenario.

"If Vivian really did come to you with a blank check, would you have taken the deal?" she asked, genuinely intrigued.

"Why wouldn't I?"

Elara shot back. "If she's voluntarily handing over a massive pile of cash, why on earth would I say no?"

If Vivian was dead set on paying her off, and it didn't interfere with her legally splitting the marital assets during the divorce, what reason did she have to refuse?

"..."

Elara didn't say that last part out loud, but after years of friendship and practicing law together, Sarah could read her mind perfectly.

Sarah was too exhausted to even argue. She sat in silence for a moment, took a vicious bite of her chicken wing, and mumbled through a mouthful of food, "Alright, fine. I admit that actually sounds like a highly viable strategy."

Elara just smiled and quietly kept eating.

"Is this what they call being hopelessly obsessed?"

After finishing her chicken wing, Sarah found a moment to voice her disbelief. "A wealthy heiress blinded by love... honestly, in some ways, it's absolutely terrifying."

In the vast majority of infidelity cases—especially when the man was wealthy and successful—the women involved were usually just after the money. Even the ones who claimed to be 'in love' were never generous enough to bankrupt themselves just to pay off the wife to secure a divorce.

And it was virtually unheard of for a wealthy heiress to willingly play the role of the other woman.

Rich, hopelessly obsessed, perfectly happy being a mistress, and willing to literally buy the wife's divorce—Vivian checked every single box.

People like that, in a certain light, were genuinely terrifying.

If she had targeted anyone other than Elara—someone who could emotionally detach, ruthlessly cut off the dead weight, and focus purely on the financial endgame—a typical stay-at-home wife would have likely been driven completely insane by a mistress like Vivian.
