I didn't turn around. My voice was calm, almost detached. "Keira, if you have time, get a hospital check-up. For the sake of our marriage, I'll give you this reminder: Keanu isn't clean."
As soon as the words left my mouth, Keanu's face changed.
Anger flashed in his eyes, quick and sharp, as if I had struck a nerve he fought to keep hidden.
He put on a look of wounded outrage.
"Mr. Harington, I know you've never liked me. Since I joined the company, you've consistently found ways to target me. I've swallowed it all without complaint, but this… this is too much. You're slandering me! I know you're just using this as an excuse to divorce President Fanning and pressure her into firing me. Maybe in your eyes, I'm nothing more than a small, insignificant figure, but I still have my pride. You don't have to push her, I'll resign myself, alright?"
I had to admit, Keanu's performance was flawless. At that moment, he was the very picture of a humble man, wronged and cornered, yet clinging to his dignity.
Keira's eyes softened with pain for him, then hardened with fury at me. "Gael, how could you be so cruel?"
"You're slandering Keanu like this. Do you have any idea how much damage those words could cause if they spread?"
"I order you to apologize to Keanu right now, or else…"
Before she could finish, I stepped out of the house, leaving only one sentence behind.
"That's all I have to say, believe it or not, it's up to you. Keanu is not as simple as you think."
After leaving, I took out my phone and dialed a number. The moment the call connected, a respectful voice greeted me. "Young Master!"
I gave a faint "Hmm" and asked, "Has my Uncle Kelvin's overseas inheritance been organized yet?"
The voice replied with deep respect. "Sir, your inheritance is so vast that it will take about another month to arrange fully."
After giving a few brief instructions, I hung up.
A long sigh escaped me, the weight in my chest heavy and tangled.
I had grown up in an orphanage. From the very start, I had no family to lean on, relying only on my own strength and struggling to survive.
A few years ago, Keira's father noticed my fighting spirit and perseverance. It was he who introduced me to Keira.
At first, she looked down on me because of my orphan background, convinced I was unworthy of her.
To win her approval, I poured everything into my work, bringing immense profits to the family's company.
