Carl Gerald was dumbfounded, his jaw dropping in surprise and shock.

“What are you…what are you talking about Tiffany?!”

“Is this supposed to be some kind of joke or something?!”

He couldn't get himself to believe that his wife would actually decide to abandon him in a time like this when he really needed her the most.

“Please, this is not the right moment.”

Tiffany Raymond slowly smirked at Carl Gerald before beginning, her voice totally unapologetic and laced with derision.

“And who said that I have to pick a favourable moment to divorce you?!”

“I can choose to divorce you anytime and any day!”

“Carl Gerald, just take a good look at me, do you know how many men want to marry me?”

Tiffany Raymond asked as she turned around in her red gown which was really doing a good job accentuating her feminine assets.

Carl Gerald took a deep breath and stared at his wife.

“Is this how it's going to be…Tiffany …after all that I did for you and the Raymond's family?”

“Oh cut that crap!”

“Don't even try to make it seem like you did us a favour.”

“If you must know Carl Gerald…I have left the trenches and I left you behind, recently my company, Tiffany Group secured a whopping amount of five hundred million dollars deal with Tyler's Global Holdings.”

“Tyler's family is one of the top families in Northcliff city and you, you are a man of…Nothing!”

“Carl Gerald, I want nothing to do with you anymore!”

“Please sign the divorce paper immediately!”

Tiffany Raymond's voice was laced with a mixture of derision, mockery and anger as she vented it all out into the face of Carl Gerald.

“Tiffany, if you never loved me, why then did your father, Mr Raymond, come to ask me to get married to you?”

Carl Gerald asked almost immediately, his face was etched with a mixture of shock and bewilderment.

“Isn't it obvious, you luckily saved my life and my dad felt the only way to pay you back was to marry you!”

“Carl Gerald, listen to me, I never loved you, if you were the only man on the planet, I would rather marry a pig!”

Tiffany Raymond said angrily without sparing Carl Gerald any further looks.

“Carl Gerald…my father is no more, I have been climbing up the corporate ladders and I have big visions to achieve and I can't do that with you being a dead weight dragging me to the ground!”

“My career is about to take up to its peak and I don't want anyone around me pulling me down…especially you!”

“Now would you please sign these divorce papers immediately!”

Tiffany Raymond's words were straight and direct. Carl Gerald didn't need an interpreter to tell him that Tiffany Raymond really never loved him.

As he was struggling to process his wife's painful betrayal, a voice immediately rang into the ward.

“Tiffany, what is going on?”

“Why aren't you already having his ashes in a ceramic vase?”

“We ought to be celebrating by now…what's the hold up?”

Sebastian Tyler's voice was laced with a mixture of impatience and confusion as he walked into the ward.

His gaze immediately fell on Carl Gerald and he was immediately stunned with shock and bewilderment.

“Why is he still alive?”

“I thought…Carl Gerald was supposed to be dead!”

She dragged out her phone and placed it by the side of the golden tray face down.Carl Gerald, though skeptical, decided to flip it over. As he set his eyes on the amount, he almost dropped the phone in shock. It was well over 100 billion dollars and still counting."Carl, is that your account balance?!”Sara also leaned in on Carl as she peered into the phone.She scattered crumbs all over him as she talked with a barely full mouth."Swallow your food before talking, you're a grown up." He scolded, but the expression on his face said otherwise. He was subconsciously grinning from ear to ear."That's just your account you set aside for investments, if you'd like I can open your 5 other accounts, or just the main one."J
