2024-08-30 15:14:45Bethany was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Logan to bring up divorce. She frowned and impatiently asked, "Logan, what do you want? How can you want to divorce me over something so trivial? What about your responsibilities as a man and a husband?"
Bethany didn’t actually want a divorce. Although she didn’t love Logan, she thoroughly enjoyed his affection and financial support.
As for Troy, Bethany loved him very much and he's wealthier than Logan. But unfortunately, Troy can't marry her.
Still speaking with an air of arrogance, Bethany completely glossed over her infidelity and boldly accused Logan of lacking responsibility.
Logan was incredulous at her shamelessness. "Trivial? Cheating is trivial? Cheating that leads to a ruptured ovary is trivial? Bethany, you are shameless!"
Bethany shot him a disdainful glance and casually replied, "Logan, I hope you understand that even though I married you, my body still belongs to myself. You, as my husband, only have the right to use it."
With that, she lifted her chin, like a proud peacock.
Gosh! What the hell is she talking about?
Logan felt increasingly impatient and coldly retorted, "Bethany, I’m not negotiating with you; this is a notification!"
"Logan, you’re a scumbag! Are you really going to abandon me and Hillary? She’s only three years old; you can’t do this!" Bethany shouted.
Hearing Bethany mention their daughter only fueled Logan’s anger.
"Do you really care about our daughter? Today is her birthday, and what have you done? You were off playing games with your lover until you ended up in the hospital, leaving poor Hillary all alone at home. You don’t even deserve to be her mother!"
"Bethany, once you recover and come home, we’ll start the divorce proceedings. As for Hillary, I’ll raise her well. She’s home alone right now, and I need to go be with her," Logan said, taking a deep breath before speaking coldly.
With that, he turned to leave.
"You... Logan, you jerk!" Bethany yelled, realizing he was dead set on divorcing her. She grabbed a pillow and hurled it at Logan, who was already at the door.
However, Logan didn’t look back, and the pillow missed him, hitting the wall instead.
Bethany’s face darkened as she muttered under her breath, "Logan, you worthless piece of trash, you think you can just dump me? Even if we are getting a divorce, it should be me who brings it up! You’ll regret it! I’ll make you pay for it!"
...
"Daddy, I missed you!" As soon as Logan opened the door, a little girl rushed over and hugged his leg, pouting.
His daughter’s adorable smile chased away the gloom in his heart. Logan knelt down and hugged Hillary, asking with concern, "My brave little princess, were you scared being home alone today?"
Logan worried that Bethany’s actions might have traumatized Hillary.
Hillary was rummaging through Logan’s pockets, seemingly looking for something. When she heard her father’s question, she immediately insisted she was brave and wouldn’t be scared even if she was home alone.
"Good girl!" Logan praised her, ruffling her hair.
"But, my little princess, what are you looking for?" Noticing Hillary’s restless hands digging into his pockets, Logan asked curiously.
"Daddy, where’s my birthday present? Did you forget my birthday?" Hillary blinked her big, beautiful eyes, looking a bit upset.
Seeing his little girl on the verge of tears, Logan couldn’t hold back. He immediately raised his hands in surrender.
"Hillary, close your eyes and count to twenty. When you open them, you’ll see your favorite birthday gift," Logan comforted her.
Hillary excitedly closed her eyes and began counting, "One, two, three..."
Logan quietly retrieved the birthday gift he had prepared—a limited edition Barbie doll that had cost him nearly a month’s salary.
"...Nineteen, twenty!" Hillary quickly finished counting and opened her eyes with anticipation.
"Surprise, my little princess!" Logan said, holding out the gift as he squatted in front of her.
However, as soon as Hillary saw the gift, the excitement in her eyes began to fade.
Logan was puzzled. He remembered that Barbie dolls were her favorite toys, so why...
"Daddy, this Barbie is so last year! I already have a bigger and better Barbie doll," Hillary pouted, clearly unhappy with the gift.
It was obvious she wasn’t satisfied with what Logan had prepared for her.
To show off her big toy, Hillary ran to her room and dragged her prized Barbie into the living room.
Logan stared in surprise at the doll on the floor, which was even bigger than Hillary, and tentatively asked, "Wow, she’s really pretty! Tell Daddy, who gave you this Barbie?"
Hillary beamed and proudly replied, "My rich daddy."
When Logan heard her words, he felt like his head was hit hard by something.

CHAPTER 263
As the night grew deeper, the table emptied, leaving only Logan, Alexander, Seraphina, and Udinov nursing their drinks. Patricia had gone to check on a renovation project upstairs, giving Logan a rare moment alone with his children. He leaned forward, resting his arms on the table. “You’re all too busy.” Seraphina smirked. “That’s rich, coming from you.” Logan chuckled. “I know. But when was the last time you all sat like this? No boardrooms, no deals, no strategies?” None of them answered and then Logan sighed. “You were raised to be strong, to command, to win. But power without family means nothing.” Alexander exhaled, rubbing his temples. “You’re getting sentimental here, Dad.” “Maybe,” Logan admitted and continued; “Or maybe I just don’t want you three to lose what I fought so hard to build, which was not the empire, but this.” Alexander tapped the rim of his glass. “And what exactly is this?” Logan looked at them, they were his legacy, his greatest creations, he utt
CHAPTER 262
Udinov got another text from his dad's right hand that the meeting was postponed, so he decided to join Seraphina and Alexander for dinner at their family estate, then he would go back home to his parents after. Besides, the Bentley family are like his first home, he calls Patricia ‘mama’ and she treats him like a second son she never had. They boarded a flight and headed home. The Bentley Estate was standing brightly, in the twilight, its grandeur was untouched by time. The sprawling mansion was an empire in itself, it was where titans were raised. Tonight, however it was not about power or strategy, it was about family. Seraphina Bentley stepped out of her sleek car, a product of her company’s innovation. The estate’s lights illuminated the driveway, which was a path she had walked on since childhood. She didn’t need to knock, the doors swung open as if the house itself knew she had arrived. "About time," a familiar voice drawled. She smirked as Alexander leaned again
CHAPTER 261
Seraphina, Alexander, and Udinov had eliminated The Black Concordat. The world was once again theirs. But power was never still. It was always shifting, always evolving. And now, they had to decide if they would rule the world as it was or if they would reshape it? They didn’t just want an empire, they wanted absolute dominion. Few months later, in a private island in the Mediterranean A meeting unlike any other had been arranged. The most powerful people in the world, billionaires, world leaders, and shadow rulers all arrived in secret, each escorted by heavily armed security. But at the center of it all, inside a grand glass-walled hall overlooking the ocean, stood three figures. They were none other than Seraphina, his twin brother Alexander Bentley and Udinov Volkov. This meeting wasn't one of negotiation, it was a declaration. Seraphina spoke first, her voice steady and commanding. "You are all here because you think you control the world, but let me make something
CHAPTER 260
With the Dominions wiped out, the Bentley-Volkov dynasty had reclaimed its throne. The war between the heirs had turned into an alliance, one built on necessity, respect, and the undeniable truth that they were stronger together. But power never truly rests, the world watched, waiting to see if Seraphina, Alexander, and Udinov would hold their reign, or if a new storm was already brewing. Two months after Dominion's fall, the three heirs met again, this time in Hong Kong, inside a high-rise that belonged to Bentley International Banking. Inside the boardroom, tension crackled like a coming storm. Seraphina stood at the head of the table, her gaze sharp. "Dominion wasn’t the end." Alexander leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. "Go on." She tapped on the table, and a holographic display flickered to life filled with names, locations, financial transactions. "Before Dominion fell, someone else was moving in the shadows, picking up the pieces. They call themselves The Bl
CHAPTER 259
Over the years, many years later, the world had changed. The names Bentley and Volkov were no longer just synonymous with wealth. They had become something more, they had become an unstoppable dynasty that shaped economies, influenced governments, and controlled the very pulse of power in the world. Logan Bentley and Damien Volkov had done the impossible, they had not only built an empire, but they had ensured its survival. But every empire faces its greatest challenge, because the bigger it becomes the more threats it attracts. And this time, the threat wasn’t from the outside like it used to be, this particular one was from within. Seraphina Bentley grew up to become the Visionary of the empire, she had always been so smart and took her father's brilliance and foresight. She is a strategist, a builder, a force just at the age of twenty-three, she had transformed Bentley Innovations into an empire of the future, dominating artificial intelligence, clean energy, and spac
CHAPTER 258
The next day, Troy Reece and his son stood by the balcony, he didn't allow him to go back home the night before for fear he would get abducted. There were unspoken words between them For years, Troy had imagined this very moment when he would talk to his son in person again, he had rehearsed apologies in the quiet of his guilt, whispered confessions into thin air, but now, standing before his son, no words seemed enough. Ethan’s fists clenched at his sides, his expression unreadable. There was hesitation in his eyes, a war between the hurt of abandonment and the reluctant gratitude he couldn’t ignore. The weight of Troy’s absence had shaped him in ways no one would hope for, but then the knowledge that his father had, in his own way, protected him from Arthur’s threats, from a darkness Ethan never fully understood. "You left me," Ethan said at last, his voice quiet but razor-sharp. "For years, I told myself I’d never forgive you, I even hoped we would never meet." Troy’s th
