He leaned back in his chair and smirked, clearly enjoying the way he framed the story in his favor.
“But you never really belonged in this world,” he added, his tone growing colder. “You do not know how to dress properly, you cannot talk to investors, and you always seem out of place in important situations.”
He paused for a moment before shrugging carelessly.
“You are forgettable,” he concluded without hesitation.
Brittany chimed in without even lifting her eyes from her phone, her voice light and dismissive.
“She really is forgettable, and honestly those meals she made were embarrassing to serve in front of people,” she said with a soft laugh.
Logan joined in, clearly entertained by the situation unfolding in front of him.
“My company is going public next month,” he said proudly. “My team believes it is better for my image if I am single, rather than being married to someone like you.”
Scarlett looked at him quietly, her expression unreadable.
“So now I am bad for your stock price,” she asked in a calm and steady voice.
“It is just business,” Logan replied quickly. “You should not take it personally because this is how things work at this level.”
He tapped the stack of papers again, pushing them slightly closer toward her.
“The prenup clearly states that you get nothing, but I am being generous here,” he added as he reached into his pocket.
He pulled out a black credit card and flicked it across the table so it slid smoothly toward Scarlett.
“There is enough money on that card to help you get started somewhere else, and you can keep the old car if you want,” he said.
The lawyer sitting beside him cleared his throat slightly, preparing to correct the statement.
“The car is technically still registered under the company assets,” the lawyer began carefully.
“Let her keep it,” Logan interrupted sharply. “I am being nice here, so do not complicate things.”
He smiled again, clearly satisfied with his own version of generosity.
“Go ahead and sign because I have lunch reservations I do not want to miss,” he said.
Scarlett stared at the papers and then at the card resting in front of her, taking in the full weight of what he was offering and what he was taking away.
Two years ago, Logan had not been like this at all. He had been struggling to keep his startup alive, barely managing to stay afloat in a competitive market.
