2025-02-18 22:47:39Carl 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!”

Chapter 790: The straws:
"But within The Directive's operations, there have been controlled assets, people who appeared to be Directive participants but who were actually providing intelligence to legitimate counterintelligence operations that have been building comprehensive picture of the network's full scope and international connections," Director James Hawthorne said."Some of the communications contained in your evidence distribution are the products of those controlled assets conducting authorized intelligence collection.”“Publishing those communications exposes the assets' identities to the people they've been collecting intelligence against."General Carl Gerald processed this explanation carefully, his investigative experience helping him assess the plausibility of the architecture being described.Controlled assets embedded within corruption networks was legitimate intelligence methodology. Allowing evidence to appear accessible to investigators to provide intelligence without compromising collec
Chapter 789: Don't worry about a thing.
General Carl Gerald immediately stared at Phineas.“There is nothing to worry about.” General Carl Gerald immediately said as he stared at Phineas."Sir, I can establish an encrypted voice connection with Hawthorne's personal phone through protocols that would prevent location tracking or interception while also providing technical documentation of everything said that could be used as evidence in subsequent proceedings," Phineas offered. "The conversation would be secure from Directive operational monitoring while also creating accountability record that would deter obvious deception or manipulation attempts.""Do it," General Carl Gerald authorized.While Phineas prepared the encrypted connection, General Carl Gerald composed his thoughts about what questions needed to be asked and what information would be necessary to meaningfully evaluate Director James Hawthorne's claims given the limited time and incomplete context available for making this assessment.The central question was
Chapter 788: The Price of Victory:
Director James Hawthorne's message sat on General Carl Gerald's phone screen like a grenade with its pin already pulled, the kind of communication that couldn't be unseen, couldn't be dismissed without careful evaluation, and that demanded immediate response despite the exhaustion and emotional weight that made careful analytical thinking extraordinarily difficult in these particular early morning hours following the most intense operational period of General Carl Gerald's entire career.The dawn light was strengthening beyond the windows of the operations center, the pale winter sunrise spreading golden undertones across the Washington skyline in ways that should have felt triumphant given what had just been accomplished during the extraordinary hours preceding it.Instead, Director James Hawthorne's message had transformed the dawn from symbol of achievement into harbinger of consequences that might not yet be fully comprehensible in their scope or their severity.General Carl Geral
Chapter 787: The Early Tensions:
"What happens now?" Debra Zachs immediately asked, the question carrying all the complexity of someone who had oriented their entire professional and personal life around a mission that had just reached its completion point and who was uncertain what purpose and direction would fill the space that mission had occupied.General Carl Gerald considered the question carefully before responding."Now the real work begins," he said. "Congressional hearings. Criminal prosecutions. Institutional reforms. Accountability that actually changes how power operates rather than just punishing individuals who get caught. Everything we've been fighting for requires years of sustained effort to actually translate evidence into genuine reform."He paused, watching the Washington dawn beginning to lighten the eastern sky beyond the government buildings and monuments."And somewhere in all of that, we properly mourn the people we lost," General Carl Gerald continued. "Marcus Andrews who started this. Ma
Chapter 786: Fight the moment:
The information that the political crisis was unfolding exactly as General Carl Gerald had anticipated when cabinet-level evidence was secured created profound satisfaction that the investigation's most ambitious objective...proving corruption so high-level and comprehensive that political system itself would be forced to respond...was apparently materializing through the process they had designed."What about Senator Morrison?" General Carl Gerald asked, needing to know the status of the woman whose evidence and personal courage had been instrumental in providing the cabinet-level documentation."General Carl Gerald, senator Morrison is safe," Judge Katherine Reynolds confirmed. "Capital Police managed to intercept an assassination attempt against her earlier this evening...a vehicle that had been tampered with to create accident during her commute was discovered before she entered it, apparently through tip from anonymous source who seems to be the same contact who has been providi
Chapter 785: Blow the Bridges:
Absolute silence fell over the operations center despite the carnage and chaos of the preceding minutes...defenders and attackers alike apparently recognizing that they were in the final seconds of an engagement that would be resolved not by continued violence but by the digital completion of a process that had been the central objective of months of investigation, multiple casualties, extraordinary courage by numerous individuals, and the kind of institutional determination that The Directive had apparently never believed possible from people they had been systematically trying to eliminate."Distribution complete," Phineas immediately said, his voice carrying controlled emotion beneath the technical announcement. "Evidence is published. Cabinet-level corruption documentation is now public record across dozens of platforms and institutional recipients. This evidence cannot be suppressed or recalled. The operation is complete."The absolute finality of those words created a moment th
