"She's quite capable, and now, as the president of a subsidiary under my name, her reputation is tightly linked with the company's interests. So when you publicly attack her, how can I not protect her?"
......
Mila felt a storm brewing within her chest.
She suppressed the nausea that arose, her face tilted slightly upward, maintaining a calm demeanor with even a hint of a smile. "Fine, you've been friends for over a decade, and I won't argue with you about it—there's no point. Lysander, as long as you sign the divorce papers, I won't care who you marry or whom you choose to be by your side in the future."
Lysander's expression turned dark, his fox-like eyes brooding and intense. "Mila, must you make a scene?"
With those words, Mila felt utterly drained.
This was always the way with Lysander. No matter how hard she tried to communicate, all she ever got was, 'Stop making a fuss.'
She was truly fed up.
"Lysander, it's you who needs to stop making a fuss!"
Mila spoke with a blank expression, her voice calm. "All I'm asking for is what I deserve; you'll get the person you truly want. Once the divorce papers are signed, everyone can be happy. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?"
Lysander felt a wave of irritation and barked, "That's impossible!"
"Mila, you were the one who wanted this position as my wife, and I agreed. Now, unless I consent, you'll remain in this role until the end of your days!"
He wanted to keep the security of a stable home while enjoying freedom outside. Disgusting!
Mila was fuming, about to retort, when her lips were suddenly silenced by his forceful kiss. His hand slipped under her sweater, making a mess of things, completely disregarding their location in a hospital.
As her breath was stolen, Mila's resistance weakened. Her mind couldn't process his cutting words anymore, overwhelmed by the scent of his embrace, which oddly calmed him.
