Tyler Sebastian's arrogance and pride immediately ignited a blaze of anger inside of him, he slowly gazed at Sebastian Tyler and shook his head in bewilderment.

“So what is it going to be Carl Gerald, are you to let your high headedness send Sara, your little sister to the streets?!”

Sebastian Tyler's voice was a bit vehement as he stared at Carl Gerald in anticipation of what he would do next.

The situation was Palpable as Carl Gerald, still deeply worried about Sara's safety, slowly gazed at Tiffany Raymond, disappointment and anger was what reek all over his face.

“Sebastian Tyler…I have told you, yy can't humiliate me into grovelling at your feet and signing those divorce papers…not today and not ever!”

Carl Gerald's voice was laced with an unprecedented level of authority and determination.

“Carl Gerald…I understand that you are doing this to still save our marriage…but let's face it!”

“We are not cut out to be together, Carl Gerald, you and I are worlds apart.”

“I have told you, our marriage was just a way to pay you back for saving my life…but now that I have bigger things to achieve…I'm afraid I can't put up with you!”

“Just cut this shitty show and sign the divorce papers, if it will make you feel any better I have added a twenty million dollars offer to the divorce.”

“Twenty million dollars is a lot of money for a lifetime especially for someone who barely makes two thousand dollars in a whole month!”

“Carl…accept this offer from me, it's the best I can do for you as we go our separate ways.”

Tiffany Raymond's voice was laced with a mixture of mockery and derision as she stared at Carl Gerald before continuing.

“Carl Gerald, you should even be happy now that your mom is dead!”

“You should be glad that she died in that crash with those thugs…now you can manage the little money that you make from your low life jobs!”

“With Mrs Amber Gerald now dead you no longer have to scrape together your daily little savings just to take care of her and her medications.”

“In fact, Carl Gerald, this should be a very big relief to you, at least you would be getting to enjoy the two million dollars that I would be giving you for signing those divorce papers all to yourself!”

“You can spare some money from the twenty million dollars and give your mom a befitting burial, it's the least I can do.”

“Aren't I generous Mr Sebastian?”

Tiffany Raymond's voice was laced with a mixture of humiliation and disrespect for Carl Gerald, her husband as she stared at Sebastian Tyler.

“You are very much generous my dear!”

“Don't mind the fool…if I were you, I wouldn't even give him up to that amount of money!”

Sebastian Tyler's voice was laced with a mixture of derision and mockery as he laughed loudly at Carl Gerald.

Hearing those disdainful words coming from his wife, Carl Gerald was immediately filled with bitterness, anger and disappointment.

He wanted to intervene at least to deliver a loud slap to the face of Sebastian Tyler but he just knew that he had to keep his cool for now.

To Carl Gerald, Tiffany Raymond wasn't just being selfish and unreasonable at the moment, she was being callously indifferent towards his mom's death and this was all that Carl Gerald needed to see so that he could finally decipher the true nature of Tiffany Raymond.

For the first time since they got married, Carl Gerald could now see through the facade that was his wife.

“Carl Gerald! What are you doing staring at us like a mannequin?!”

“If you are not going to sign the divorce papers, then at least stop staring at Mr Sebastian as if you can do anything to him!”

Tiffany Raymond's words were this time more than hurtful before, Carl Gerald slowly took a deep breath.

He slowly bent down and picked up the file, darting a cold and determined gaze at Tiffany Raymond.

“Tiffany I will sign this divorce papers, not because you asked me to do it but because you have just revealed who you truly are to me!”

“Here you go all signed and for the record, you can keep your twenty million dollars to Mr Sebastian Tyler.”

Carl Gerald's voice was laced with a mixture of determination and authority as he spoke.

Tiffany Raymond was stunned to her bone marrow, she had expected Carl Gerald to grovel and beg her to stay.

Her face was etched with a mixture of confusion and bewilderment as she and Sebastian Tyler stared at the man who once almost worshiped her, now turned against her.

“Carl Gerald…I don't believe you really want me gone! Why are you pretending that you can do without me?!”

“You and I know that you can't exist without…”

“Enough Tiffany!”

Carl Gerald's voice was vehement and laced with a mix of anger and determination.

“I don't need you any more Tiffany Raymond, you made it clear to me that you think of me as a worthless piece of trash when you showed up here and asked for a divorce!”

“Well, you got what you wished for!”

Carl Gerald's voice was cold and this time detached, all emotions and feelings that he once had for Tiffany Raymond, his wife, were now all gone completely.

“Carl Gerald! Don't talk to Tiffany Raymond like that, if you weren't less of a may, she wouldn't have divorced you initially!”

“Just take a look at your shoes, were those dug out from the pit some days ago? I know that you work in a construction site but at least, look better than this!”

“Tiffany, this animal doesn't deserve you in any way!”

Sebastian Tyler's voice was laced with a mix of mockery and disdain as he yanked the divorce papers off Carl Gerald's hand.

Taking a deep sigh, Tiffany Raymond walked a bit away from Carl Gerald holding her nose in a manner of mockery and humiliation.

“Carl Gerald, it's over, since you don't want my twenty million dollars, I will keep it!”

“You are the first beggar to defile the saying that a beggar has no choice!”

“It's a pity you wouldn't be joining us at the banquet this afternoon, Mr Rene, the president of Vesta banking corporations has invited me to attend their only members exclusive annual banquet.*

“All thanks to Mr Sebastian Tyler over here, if not for the strings he pulled, I wouldn't have had this lifetime opportunity to finally meet Mr Rene of Vesta Global banking corporations.”

“I know a dunce like you might not about the Neptune Global banking corporations, so let me educate you a bit.”

“The Vesta Global banking corporations is the country's biggest financial institution and rumour has it that they control over ten trillion dollars as a firm.”

“With Mr Sebastian Tyler's help I'm going to secure a whopping sum of ten billion dollars from the bank as investments into the Tiffany Global Group and that will definitely cause an exponential growth in my company.”

“Carl, can you now see why I had to choose Sebastian Tyler over you?”

“Carl Gerald, you are a disgrace to manhood, you are less of a man and more importantly, Sebastian Tyler is everything that you aren't!”

“See you…Never, Carl!”

Tiffany Raymond's voice reeked with derision and humiliation as she held Sebastian Tyler by the hand and the both of them walked out on Carl Gerald.

Carl Gerald just watched Tiffany Raymond pranced away with Sebastian Tyler.

“It's over…Loser!”

Tiffany Raymond's voice was loud and never losing the mockery and humiliation it had for Carl Gerald.

  • Chapter 783: The living rooms:

    The shift from supportive coordination to implicit threat transformed General Carl Gerald's assessment of the situation from possible genuine oversight to probable Directive manipulation exploiting Reynolds's channels and Reynolds's credibility to manufacture pressure for evidence disclosure."Judge Katherine Reynolds, I'm going to end this call and I'm going to conduct independent verification of the congressional request before responding further," General Carl Gerald said firmly, no longer maintaining diplomatic deference to Reynolds's judicial authority. "If this is genuine congressional intervention, verification will confirm that quickly and I'll cooperate fully once I'm confident I'm not being manipulated.”“If this is Directive operation, then maintaining security is more important than avoiding contempt charges that I'll eventually be exonerated from once the truth emerges."He ended the call despite Reynolds beginning to voice additional protest, his command instincts overr

  • Chapter 782: The disturbing news:

    "That suggests they're trying to create legal cover for evidence seizure and for witness intimidation, which means they're concerned about exposure that would follow from operating entirely outside legal frameworks.”“They want to be able to claim they were conducting proper federal investigation if their operations get scrutinized after evidence distribution occurs."Debra Zachs raised critical question about how team should respond to Connor's surrender demand and one-hour deadline."Sir, do we respond to Connor's message or do we ignore it entirely?" Debra asked. "Responding might provide opportunity to gather intelligence about Directive plans, but it also might validate their narrative that we're engaged in negotiation about legitimate investigation rather than defending against criminal suppression operation."General Carl Gerald considered the tactical calculation before deciding that responding served no purpose that justified engaging with Connor's manufactured authority."W

  • Chapter 781: Finding the new Agents:

    "Their approach is professional but not entirely consistent with standard security tactical doctrine that I'm familiar with," Luke assessed after watching for approximately thirty seconds. "They're using proper safety protocols and proper team coordination, but their breach methodology shows some variations from what I'd expect if this was routine security warrant service.”“Could be different regional office using different procedures, or could be indication these aren't actually security despite their equipment and apparent legitimacy."The ambiguous assessment reflected exactly the kind of uncertainty that The Directive would deliberately create if they were attempting to manufacture confusion about the operation's true nature.Before General Carl Gerald could formulate response to the ongoing situation at Chen's site, Debra Zachs interrupted with urgent report about new development."Sir, I'm receiving notification from another dispersed team member reporting a similar situation,

  • Chapter 780: Agent Kara:

    Phineas immediately began technical verification procedures, attempting to contact Chen through alternative communication channels and attempting to access surveillance systems at the remote backup site that would allow visual confirmation of what was actually occurring."Sir, I'm unable to establish voice contact with Agent Kara through normal channels," Phineas reported after approximately ninety seconds of attempts. "Her phone appears to be off or in dead zone with no cellular service.”“That's suspicious because the backup site location was selected specifically for reliable communications infrastructure.”“Either there's been equipment failure or someone is jamming communications to prevent verification."Debra Zachs was monitoring law enforcement radio traffic for any indication of legitimate FBI operations in the area where Chen's backup site was located."I'm detecting no FBI radio traffic about operations at that location," Debra reported. "If this was genuine federal opera

  • Chapter 779: The attacks on the Evidence boards:

    "Third scenario...and this is what concerns me most based on the anonymous contact's warning...is some kind of sophisticated manipulation that we don't immediately recognize as Directive operation but which achieves their objectives through deception rather than through force," General Carl Gerald said.His voice carrying the uncertainty that came from trying to anticipate enemy actions that were specifically designed to be unexpected and difficult to identify until too late to effectively counter.Captain Luke Harrison's special operations background apparently provided insight into this third scenario that General Carl Gerald was describing."You're suggesting they might attempt something like creating fake emergency that forces us to evacuate this facility or to relocate evidence to supposedly more secure location that they actually control," Luke suggested, his tactical thinking identifying deception possibilities. "Or they might attempt to compromise one of our team members thro

  • Chapter 778: A friend in cloak.

    “Yes…we really can trust him.”“He has actually saved my life a lot of times but we still need to be extremely careful…thanks for pointing that out, Phineas.” General Carl Gerald immediately addressed the question from Phineas.The temporary operations center that Captain Luke Harrison had established in the small commercial office building carried the atmosphere of a military forward operating base in the final hours before a decisive engagement…The kind of focused intensity that came from professionals who understood they were approaching a culminating point where all previous efforts would either achieve their intended purpose or would be rendered meaningless through failure at the critical moment when success was most within reach yet also most vulnerable to disruption.The main room had been converted into a tactical coordination space with multiple workstations displaying various data streams that the investigation team needed to monitor during the final countdown toward automa
