Juliana could never be his wife, so why did it matter who his wife was?


    Brittany felt an unexpected pang in her heart when she heard this. She seldom sought out Yuri''spany, yet at this moment, she felt a twinge of empathy for him.


    She wrapped her arms around Yuri gently. "Dad, you''ve worked so hard all these years."


    Yuri patted her cheek. "As long as you''re doing alright, I''ve got peace of mind."


    Yuri had a meeting that afternoon and left the Lte Mansion early.


    Come lunchtime, Brittany descended the grand staircase. She ran into Le, who was lugging her suitcases.


    Spotting Brittany, Le dropped her luggage with a thud. "Brittany, feeling smug, are you?"


    Brittany''s brow furrowed slightly. "Dad''s divorce has nothing to do with me."


    "Oh, please. If it wasn''t for your mother, that homewrecker, seducing Yuri, he would''ve seen my worth decades ago!"


    "Love works on a firste, first-served basis," Brittany defended her mother. "As far as I know, my mom and dad were each other''s first love. They''ve been together for ages. You, on the other hand, seem to be the other woman in their rtionship."


    "I am not the other woman. I am Yuri''swfully wedded wife. Juliana will forever be the mistress!"


    Le wished Julianne were alive to witness that for thirty years, it was she, Le, who resided in the Lte name!


    Brittany thought Le had lost her mind and strode past her into the dining room.


    Once Le''s belongings were packed, a servant drove her to a vi in her name. Though both were vis,pared to the grandeur of the Lte Mansion, hers was a mere shadow.


    As soon as Le entered, she trashed the living room, her ordinarily well-maintained face twisted with rage. "Get someone on the phone. I want Brittany dead!"


    Just like Juliana, straight to hell!


    ...


    The news of Yuri''s divorce spread like wildfire, even making the headlines.


    To salvage their reputation, the Lte family cited irreconcble differences as the reason for the divorce.


    Yuri met privately with Holden. "I''ve seen your capabilities over the years. Although you are under your mother''s name, if you and Saskia want to stay with the Lte family, you''ll be well taken care of." Holden knew Yuri had wanted a divorce for a long time. "I''ll continue with the Lte Conglomerate. I''ve invested years here; I can''t just walk away."


    "Good, you''re a good kid."


    Yuri felt that the only good thing toe out of his marriage was Holden. He was incredibly smart and knew his ce. Yuri couldn''t help but admire him a bit more.


    When Saskia got the news, she was briefly upset, but it just so happened that she found out she was pregnant.


    The Brandt family was overjoyed, and even Mrs. Brandt warmed up to Saskia a bit.


    Using her pregnancy as an excuse, Saskia didn''t confront Le at all. When Le heard of Saskia''s pregnancy, she merely sent over some health supplements.


    In the divorce settlement, Yuri had given Le a fair share of assets, enough to livefortably. However, Dn was pressing her for money - an amount in billions that she couldn''t produce.


    Le''s family refused to help, so Le emptied her purse, coughed up a billion, and wrote an IOU to stop Dn from suing.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Upon learning that Le had only sent supplements, Saskia''s expression soured, but she didn''t show it. She used her difort as an excuse to retire upstairs.


    "It seems Le has been kicked to the curb by the Lte family without much to her name," Mrs. Brandt scoffed.


    Le had made quite a few enemies in Craneville, riding on the coattails of the Lte family. Now that she had fallen from grace, many were waiting to kick her while she was down. And just then, Saskia received a wedding invitation.


    It was from Ophelia and Jonathan!
