The moment Cyan said those words, Stella’s mouth fell open in shock.

Judy slowly shook her head, never expecting to hear something like that from Cyan. Even Brittney stared at him in disbelief, as though she was trying to confirm whether it was truly Cyan standing there or someone else entirely wearing his face.

Was he really ending the marriage?

Stella shook her head repeatedly, refusing to believe it.

She had expected Cyan to react the same way he always did whenever she serves him divorce papers— drop to his knees, beg her not to leave him, and start making endless promises about changing into the perfect husband she wanted.

She had served him divorce papers over a hundred times in the past, and every single time, Cyan ended up pleading desperately with her. But this time… he didn’t.

Instead, he had actually signed them.

Was this truly happening?

“Yes, Stella,” Cyan said calmly, almost as though he had read her thoughts. “This is real.”

Stella scoffed.

Although she was deeply shaken by the fact that Cyan had accepted the divorce, she quickly masked her shock with an exaggerated expression of indifference.

“So you’ve finally decided to be a good boy now, huh, Cyan?” she mocked. “At last, you accepted the divorce and ended this marriage?!”

She paused and slowly looked him up and down with cold eyes.

“Let me ask you one question, Cyan. I hope you’re not joking around with these divorce papers, because you should get this straight into your head—once this divorce is finalized, nothing in this world will ever make me take you back as my husband!”

Cyan nodded without hesitation.

“Of course, Stella,” he replied calmly. “Before signing the papers, I read every single term and condition carefully. I understand everything written in them.”

“So now that our marriage has officially come to an end, I believe there is absolutely nothing on this planet that could ever make us get back together again—”

Before Cyan could complete his words, Judy suddenly threw her handbag at Cyan, cutting his words short.

Fuming with rage, she stormed toward him, grabbed him by the ears, and shouted, “You ungrateful animal! You make decisions without thinking twice, huh? I hope you realize you have nobody to take care of you!”

Her grip tightened as her voice rose louder.

“You have no father, no mother, and you don’t even know where you truly come from. In case you’ve forgotten, let me remind you—you were picked up from a stream! A river!”

“You have no identity, Cyan! My daughter and I have fed you, clothed you, and tolerated you for years, yet you dared to sign the divorce papers?”

She sneered coldly. “Tell me, where exactly does a useless nobody like you plan to go when you don’t even know who you are?”

Anger flashed through Cyan’s eyes.

Unable to contain Judy's words, he forcefully pushed Judy’s hands away from his ears and straightened himself.

“I may not know my identity, but I would never continue living with a woman who has done nothing but cheat on me!” Cyan said firmly

“For over fifteen years, I loved Stella with everything I had. I served this family loyally all those years because I believed I had finally found a home… a family. But I was wrong. All of you are nothing but a bunch of ungrateful animals.”

Then his gaze slowly shifted toward Stella who was stroking Felix's beards with no remorse.

“And as for your daughter…” he said coldly before pausing. “I will never accept spending the rest of my life with a PROSTITUTE like her.”

The smile on Stella’s face disappeared immediately she heard ‘prostitute’, and even her hand froze on Felix’s beard.

“Did you just call me a prostitute?!” she screamed.

Cyan nodded boldly without the slightest fear.

“Yes, Stella. You heard me perfectly well.” He replied. “You are nothing but a shameless slut, and I regret ever loving you. Right now, every single feeling I once had for you is completely gone.. And remember this clearly, Stella. You will regret everything that happened today.”

His fists clenched tightly.

“For twenty-five years, I lived like a dog serving the Rogers family, and for three miserable years, I endured a one-sided marriage with you. But all of that ends today.”

Then he looked directly into Stella’s eyes one final time.

“Once again, Stella… you will regret it all.”

Having said that, Cyan turned around and started walking away.

The moment he did, Stella’s anger exploded completely.

She could not endure the humiliation Cyan had just caused her, nor could she allow him to walk out so proudly after insulting her in front of everyone.

So just as Cyan was about to step out of the banquet hall, Stella’s furious voice thundered behind him.

“STOP!”

  • Chapter 36. Never To Simp Again

    Cyan was still lost in his thoughts when Zoey snapped her fingers, pulling him back to reality.“So, tell me, Mr. Sean. Is that an agreement?”Cyan took the cheque from Zoey and stared at it for longer than necessary. After a moment, he raised his head and gave her a casual smile.“If it's about dating you, then there's no problem! I accept your proposal.”Claire's expression twisted the moment she heard his response.She wasn't comfortable with Cyan agreeing to date Zoey. However, what right did she have to object? Cyan was free to make his own decisions, and she was nothing more than his right-hand woman. She had no right to get angry over whom he spoke to or chose to associate with, let alone whom he decided to date.Still, that didn't stop the unpleasant feeling from rising in her chest.“So, from today onward, we're a couple?”Cyan asked sarcastically, clearly not taking the supposed relationship seriously.Zoey didn't find his words funny. Instead of responding to his sarcasm, s

    Lizzy and Anthony struggled to free themselves as the police officers dragged them out of the restaurant.Their faces were etched with anger, and even as they were being dragged away, they couldn't stop glaring at Zoey.“You'd better get me out of this place, Zoey Rivers! You know I'm the only man who can marry you!” Anthony yelled, struggling against the officers holding him.“Zoey, I'm warning you right now! Tell these men to take these handcuffs off me! You can't just have us arrested!” Lizzy shouted furiously.“Zoey, this…”“Zoey, that…”They continued throwing words at her, desperately trying to get her attention, but Zoey didn't respond. She didn't even bother to acknowledge their threats and complaints. Instead, she stood there, watching them until they finally disappeared from her sight.“Officers, make sure they rot behind bars!” she ordered firmly as the policemen dragged Lizzy and Anthony out of the restaurant.Once they were gone, the atmosphere in the restaurant gradually

  • Chapter 34. Arrest Them!

    Everywhere went quiet for a few minutes as everyone stared at Cyan. But all of a sudden, Anthony's laughter echoed throughout the entire hall.He laughed and clapped his hands, apparently unable to believe what he had just heard. Soon, Lizzy joined him, laughing in disbelief.“Are you for real, Cyan?” She covered her mouth as she laughed. “You want to marry her?”Cyan didn't say anything.“Isn't it obvious, Cyan Sean? You're only trying to be relevant here!” Anthony spoke after Lizzy. “Everybody here knows that Zoey is ten times wealthier than you. She is rich, has so many estates in her name, and even has a lot of companies running for her family. Do you seriously think that a poor animal like you can get married to her?”Lizzy played with her hair, a mocking smile spreading across her face.“I'm sure that Zoey will never ever accept to be your girlfriend!” She gave Cyan a diminishing look. “Look at him. He is not just poor, he is shameless, and he has also trended for so many negati

    Anthony’s eyes refused to stop widening. His hand stayed pressed against the cheek Zoey had just struck. This was the first time she had ever raised a hand against him. It was also the first time she had refused to believe a single word he said. Zoey pointed at the two of them, her voice rising with cold contempt. “All these years I thought you loved me. I thought every grand surprise, every thoughtful gesture, was because you wanted us to build a future together.” Her gaze shifted to Lizzy. “And you? For over five years I believed you were my best friend. I paid your mother’s medical bills. I supported you through your master’s degree. It was only because of me that you even got a job at the company. And this is how you repay me—by betraying me?” Lizzy steadied herself and lowered the hand that had been covering her stinging cheek. The last trace of remorse vanished from her face. “And so?” she asked flatly. “Yes, I slept with Anthony. We made love. Does it look like I

  • Chapter 32

    A few minutes earlier, back in the restroom, Cyan had caught Anthony in the act with Lizzy. From the fragments of their conversation, he was certain they were cheating on someone. Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone and began recording.The sight of them tangled together dragged up the old wound of Stella’s betrayal. For a fleeting moment he considered uploading the video for the world to see—forcing Anthony and Zoey to hide their faces in shame. Then he shoved the thought aside. They could do whatever they wanted. It no longer concerned him. He stopped the recording and walked out.Only now, after discovering that Anthony had never truly loved Zoey and had merely been leeching off her wealth, did Cyan decide to upload the video.The moment it played, the room erupted. People stood with mouths open, phones already raised, snapping pictures and filming every second of the unfolding scandal.“Isn’t he the one dating Zoey Rivers? He’s so shameless—having sex with her supposed

  • Chapter 31

    Claire instantly moved closer to Cyan and gently grabbed his hand.She believed he had been through a lot lately, especially after going through the pain of being betrayed by his own wife. He was probably acting this way toward Zoey and Anthony because he was still affected by Stella's betrayal.She closed the distance between them and whispered, “Do you really have to prove anything to them?”Cyan didn't say anything.She continued, “That woman, Zoey Rivers, is from a very influential family, and they are close subordinates of your father. Your identity is still a secret. Once they start investigating you, they might end up finding out that you are the son of the Hefner family!”“I don't care!” Cyan replied without even looking at Claire. “Right now, what really matters is exposing the true identities of these people!”Noticing how silent Cyan suddenly became, Anthony took advantage of it. He put his hand inside his shorts and looked at him with a mocking smile.“What suddenly happen
