“Is the fucking divorce paper not ready?” Adora yelled into the phone.

She paced back and forth in her room, her mind replaying the scene that had just happened downstairs. No matter how hard she tried to push the memory aside, Abel's smirk kept appearing in her thoughts, irritating her more with every passing second.

How dare he behave as though nothing mattered to him anymore?

She had expected him to react differently. She had expected him to lose his temper, perhaps even beg her. Instead, he

  • Chapter 64 Adora Down 

    Adora shoved herself into her car. She pressed the start button and sped away.At 140 km/h, she gripped the steering wheel firmly, her eyes fixed on the road. Her heart ached, and her mind struggled to process everything that had just happened.Her thoughts turned into vivid images. She imagined everything Tyler must have been saying behind her back when she thought they had something special.How he must have laughed and called her a fool while she believed he was her everything.She heaved out a heavy breath. The realization was unbearable.Tears streamed down her face, blurring her vision for a moment. She blinked rapidly, refusing to let her emotions interfere with her driving.But suddenly, something changed.Her fingers tightened around the steering wheel. Her expression hardened, and the sadness in her eyes slowly gave way to anger.“I won't let this slide, Tyler,” she murmured, an idea forming in her mind.And it wasn't a good one.***Abel stepped into the Adora Clement man

  • Chapter 63 Looking for Tyler 

    Adora shoved herself into her Mercedes, slamming the door behind her. Her hands trembled uncontrollably as she pulled out her phone.Her screen was broken. She couldn't see anything on it.She stared at it for a moment, desperately trying to make out something through the cracks. There was no time to waste. She needed to speak to Tyler.She slid her finger up the screen. Even with the broken screen, she remembered that the dial app was at the bottom of the screen once her phone was unlocked.Her phone chimed softly. She recognised the sound.Whenever she unlocked her phone, it always chimed.She tapped the bottom-left corner of the screen. Without knowing whether it had worked, she dialled on the centre of the screen, knowing fully well that Tyler had been her last attempted call.“The number you are trying to reach right now is busy. Please try again later.”Adora furrowed her brows.Again?This morning, after Abel claimed everything through the divorce, she had tried to reach Tyler,

  • Chapter 62 He Survived? 

    Adora rushed into the hospital, her heels striking the polished floor as she hurried towards the reception desk.“Where is he?” she demanded, her voice frantic.“Ma’am, please calm down,” said the receptionist.Being a Clement, the hospital already recognised her. For twenty years, the Clement family had been loyal patients of the hospital. Her presence was usually enough to get her immediate attention, but this time, something was different.“What do you mean, calm down?” Adora blared.“My father is in there, fighting for his life, and you are telling me to calm the fuck down?”“Which room is he in?” She slammed her hand on the counter.Startled, the receptionist picked up the telephone receiver and brought it to her ear.“Sir, she is here, and she demands to see him,” she said.Adora furrowed her brows.What was going on?Whenever she came to the hospital and needed to see someone, she was allowed to see them without all this drama. She had never been treated like a stranger in a pl

  • Chapter 61 The Drunks 

    “I want the whole bottle now!” Adora roared, her heart pounding against her chest.She pointed at the whisky bottle sitting on the shelf.“But ma’am, that’s not how we do it…”“Fuck how you do it?” she interrupted, glaring at the bartender.“I will pay for it and more. I am Adora Clement!” she roared again, banging her palm against the counter.Ten minutes ago, she'd been thrown out of her own house. The house she had owned for years, now taken from her by her own ex-husband. The same man she used to consider utterly useless.The humiliation was still fresh. The image of her belongings being thrown out and loaded into a truck continued playing in her mind.And now, she was at a tavern, about to drink herself into a stupor.“Yes, ma’am,” the bartender finally replied, bowing gently.He turned towards the shelf, grabbed the bottle, and placed it carefully in front of Adora.“Easy on that drink, though. It’s over 45% alcohol,” he warned.“Fuck off!” Adora hissed.She grabbed the bottle a

  • Chapter 60 The Contract Agreement 

    Adora bolted out of the room, tears rushing down her cheeks.She knew it.It was over.Abel was now the new majority shareholder. That position carried enormous authority. Whatever he said held power. Whatever he did and signed became law in the company her own family had created and run for years.The thought alone made her chest tighten. Just minutes ago, she had been the woman everyone answered to. Yesterday, She had walked into that company as its CEO, believing she still had control over its future. Now, everything had changed. She couldn't afford to stand there and watch her world collapse.She rushed into her Mercedes. Her hands trembled as she fumbled for her phone and opened her contacts.“Tyler,” she muttered, dialing his number.Tring Tring.The phone rang, but no one picked up.She waited, gripping the phone tightly against her ear. When the call eventually went to voicemail, she hurriedly left a message.“Now is the time to kill the motherfucker, Tyler. We can't waste a

  • Chapter 59 The Boardroom Indeed  

    Maxson pushed the boardroom door open. Every head turned towards the entrance.Inside, over fifteen men in expensive suits sat around the long mahogany table, with microphones positioned in front of each of them. Their eyes widened as they stared at the man who had just entered, but Maxson remained unfazed. He had come prepared, and nothing about the tension in the room could shake his confidence.He placed his briefcase at the edge of the table and opened it.Just as he began arranging the documents, Abel stepped inside. His expression was calm, but his presence immediately drew the attention of everyone in the room. He walked in without hesitation, as though he already knew how the meeting would end.“I am Attorney Maxson Sire, the legal representative of Mr Abel Kane. I am here to formally announce that my client now legally owns fifty percent of the Clement family's shares in Clement Group, granting him full shareholder rights and voting power, effective immediately.”The announce
