Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 364

Rachel marched in from outside, and the door slammed against the doorframe as she shut it behind her. Cameron’s face darkened as he gave her a cold glare. “Rachel… What’s going on? I don’t recall you making an appointment with me.”

“Hah!” She gave him a sarcastic laugh as she headed directly toward the lounge in his office. It only took her one look to notice the video that had been playing on the TV. A rather dejected expression flickered across her face when she saw the figures on the screen, but she hastily curled her lips into a smirk. “We haven’t gotten a divorce, President Stark. I’m still your wife, so do I need to make an appointment just to see you?!”

His face only turned darker when he saw her looking at the TV screen. “Well, you’re looking at me now. What do you want?” In the past two days, they had both gotten rid of their facades and exposed their ugliest sides to each other. From then on, Cameron no longer saw the need to put on a show in front of Rachel, and Rachel no longer bothered to act gentle and feminine in front of him. She was too old for that, but the woman she saw in the videos and photos looked like she was in her thirties. Women are usually the prettiest at that age. I was just like her when I was in my thirties!

Rachel could feel her heart accelerating with fury whenever she saw the young girl standing beside that woman. All along, Rachel had been living under the misconception that she had managed to satisfy all of Cameron’s needs. She thought he was loyal to her, but she hadn’t realized that she had just gone down the same path that Jenny did. On the surface, the couple appeared as though they were a respectful, well-matched pair, but all of that was merely an illusion that she made up on her own.

The truth was that Cameron had already found himself a new woman outside; he had already been with that woman even when Jenny was still around. Furthermore, that woman’s face looked nearly identical to Jenny’s… Even an idiot can tell what Cameron’s thinking about! The person he loves is Jenny. However, he was too afraid to be with Jenny, so he decided to find another girl who looked just like her so that he would be able to fulfill his desires…

“Hahaha…” Rachel abruptly broke into laughter then. I’ve been with this man for my whole life. I can’t believe it took me so long to realize how stupid I’ve been! “I bet you’ve been planning our divorce for a while now, huh? You’re going to marry that woman after that, right? You don’t need to worry…” She shifted her gaze to the TV. The video had finished playing, but the image on the screen had stopped on the final scene, which was just an image of the woman and her daughter. The mother and daughter had their heads resting against each other’s, and they both had faint smiles on their faces. They look so happy. They are going to be really happy soon, but what about me?! My daughter isn’t close to me, and my husband is cheating on me!

“I’m not here to chit-chat, Cameron. I just want you to know that I have proof of your infidelity. But of course, I’d rather we end things in a civilized manner,” she uttered emotionlessly. “I don’t want any of the Stark Group shares anymore; I just want 50 million. Give me the money, and I’ll make sure that Kris and I will never appear in front of you again.” Rachel knew that the Stark Group was in a tricky situation, and she didn’t want any of their shares as she wasn’t certain if the company would be able to survive. Her shares would be meaningless if the business fell apart, and she knew that it would only create more trouble for her. She might not even get anything by the time Cameron actually handled the shares she held.

Moreover, Rachel knew that he had a secret stash of money, and she now knew what he wanted to use that money for! Therefore, she decided that she would take that money and leave him once and for all! She had sacrificed all of her youth for him after all, so she thought she deserved that amount of money as compensation!

“You must be out of your mind!” Cameron widened his eyes as blood rushed to his face. “50 million? Don’t you think I would have already thrown that money into the Green Palms Project if I actually had 50 million? You’re too money-minded! We can get a divorce, but the most I can give you is a piece of property. Nothing else!”

“A piece of property?” Rachel sneered. “Do you think I’m a beggar? I’ve wasted more than 20 years of my life with you. Do you think you can get rid of me by just giving me a house? You may have been a powerful and influential man, Cameron, but you’re nothing more than a has-been now! What do you think will happen to the Stark Group if I decide to publicize our divorce and expose your infidelity in court?! What do you think the court’s ruling will be?”

“Rachel!” Cameron’s face had turned into a sickly pale shade. I already have enough to worry about after seeing the footage in the USB that Sean gave me. I don’t even know what Sean’s intentions are yet, but I can’t believe Rachel—this greedy witch—is giving me more trouble on top of that by asking me for such a huge sum now! “You’ve eaten my food, spent my money, and treated yourself with all these branded items for the past years. You sleep in a mansion, and you drive a luxurious car! But what have you ever done for this household?! You should know where you stand! You’re not going to get everything you want in life just because you’re married to me!” He felt a burning rage in his chest as he yelled those words out loud.
