"You must be feeling quite satisfied right now."
I didn't give him the dignity of a reply. Turning to Keira, I said flatly, "Stop wasting time. Let's get the divorce certificate."
Keira's voice rose, sharp and furious. "Gael, is this the attitude you're showing me?"
"I'm giving you this one last chance only because of my father. Since you refuse to appreciate it, I won't waste another breath."
"You want a divorce? Fine. But once it's done, I'll go straight to the registry with Keanu. And when that day comes, even if you regret it and kneel before me, it'll be far too late."
I didn't let her finish. My reply was calm, but cold enough to frost the air. "Then let me offer my congratulations in advance, you'll make a perfect pair."
"I've no time for pointless chatter. Let's end this."
She nearly trembled with rage.
And right after we signed the final papers, she did exactly what she promised, dragging Keanu to the marriage registry without hesitation.
Before stepping inside, she turned back, her eyes glittering with provocation, as if daring me to react.
Keanu, brimming with pride, took a picture of their marriage certificate and plastered it across his social media.
I paid it no mind. Without a second thought, I left for the airport, bound overseas to take over the vast inheritance Uncle Kelvin had entrusted to me.
Days later, the Fanning Corporation's 30th anniversary arrived in full splendor.
The celebration unfolded in a five-star hotel, buzzing with life as invitations had reached every major business partner, along with relatives and friends from both the Fanning and Reeves families. The atmosphere was as grand as it was festive.
Keira and Keanu couldn't hide their excitement.
Only a few days prior, the legendary Ventimiglia Investment Group had expressed interest in investing in the Fanning Corporation.
If such a powerhouse joined hands with them, the company's future would surge beyond imagination.
Keira and Keanu were over the moon over their sudden fortune, deciding to unveil the news with grandeur on the night of the Fanning Corporation's 30th anniversary.
An announcement like that would send the company's reputation skyrocketing.
Yet as the event began in the opulent hotel hall, I walked in.
The moment Keira and Keanu spotted me, their expressions darkened like clouds blotting out the light.
All around, curious gazes followed me.
