Yuri loathed her so deeply that he''d rather let the whole world know he''d been cuckolded than stay tethered to her? To end this marriage? The envelope was thick, its packaging intact. Yet its contents, if exposed, would reduce everything she''d built over the years to ashes! Perched above her, Yuri peered down at Le. "You know exactly what''s in here."
"Hand it over, let me see," Dn quickly ordered his grandson, eager to see what could drive Yuri to such fury.
"No, you can''t!"
Le was quicker, snatching the envelope. "These things can''t be seen."
Dn was confused. "Le, I thought you didn''t want a divorce. Open it, let me see. I''ll stand by you."
Le''s face was pale, her head shaking uncontrobly. "No, it can''t be done."
Dn moved to advance on her.
Le, still pale, retreated continuously. "No, we can''t let these things out..."
Her panic was palpable as she turned to Yuri in desperation. "I agree to the divorce, just don''t expose this!"
Yuri''s eyes narrowed sharply, and he snatched the envelope, tearing it open for all to see.
"Over the past thirty years, Le is suspected of embezzling over ten billion, indulging her family, and lining her own pockets, leading to losses of over ten billion for the Lte Conglomerate..." Le shuddered violently.
Even Dn, who had been on her side, changed color, gripping his cane tightly. The others clenched their teeth in anger; that money should have been theirs! "Stop reading, stop! I''ll sign. I''ll sign."
Compared to the ultimate scandal, embezzlement was a minor issue. She knew Yuri well-if she didn''t sign now, she''d be utterly ruined!Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Le scrambled together, her hand trembling as she penned her name, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Yuri, I truly loved you. Why couldn''t you ever ept me?" Shemented over her name on the divorce papers.
If it hadn''t been for Yuri''s lingering thoughts of Juliana, how could she ever have strayed, let alone be caught red-handed!
With the divorce papers signed, the marriage was over.
Dn left in a huff of indignation. The rest of the Lte family followed, spitting venomously as they went.
Billions squandered by Le-how could they not be aggrieved?
Le copsed on the ground, drained of all strength.
Yuri towered over her, pulling out a stack of photos from the envelope and tossing them at Le''s feet. "I haven''t exposed these, but if you dare to cross Bri again, I guarantee they''ll hit the media immediately." Le, ashen and tear-streaked, clung to Yuri''s legs. "Yuri, please don''t do this to me. I truly love you. It was them, they seduced me. I really love you..."
Yuri felt nothing but irritation, shaking off Le''s grasp and crouching before her. "Tell me, Le, does the mysterious disappearance of Juliana from Craneville all those years ago have anything to do with you?'' Le''s head shook frantically. "I don''t know anything. I swear I don''t know anything."
Yuri waved a hand. "Pack her things."
After years within the Lte family, Le was now cast out. The servants, long oppressed, felt a sense of relief.
Le had many possessions, and Yuri gave her half a day to sort them.
Brittany hadn''t expected Yuri to be so thoroughly prepared.
"Dad, if you had this evidence all along, why didn''t you divorce her sooner?"
"I wasn''t capable enough."
Initially, it was due to hisck of power. Later, he simply resigned himself to his fate.
