Chapter 103


    103 Revtions Unfold


    Throughout their union, Alex kept a frosty distance from Emma, never showing more warmth than a


    chilly autumn evening. His inquiries about her day were as rare as a desert rain, and he turned a deaf


    ear to the whispers of her struggles within the family. He justified his indifference, convinced she


    deserved it for her calcted entry into his life


    Yet, as the final chapter of their marriage closed, Alex began to wrestle with doubts. He knew better


    than anyone the true colors of their union. Alex had approached him with an offer of assistance, not


    desperation. But the narrative twisted her into a damsel in distress, a far cry from reality.


    In Alex’s view, Emma was well–intentioned but clumsy in execution. He kept her at a distance, using


    her for his advantage but never more. She left their marriage without a fuss or financial demand, which


    he initially dismissed as another ploy. But Lillian’s recent outburst forced him to rethink.


    Emma, confronting her past with Alex, didn’t mince words. “You watched me suffer at the hands of your


    family, did nothing, and now you’re upset with the truth? Our marriage was no fairy tale, and I won’t be


    silenced anymore.”


    “When we married, it was as much your escape as it was mine. I left with my head held high, and I’ll


    stand my ground now,” Emma dered, her voice a calm yet forceful stream. “And if you can’t rein in


    your sister’s venomous tongue, I’ll ensure someone teaches her a lesson.”

    Alex’s family, the Gunthers, were a name to reckon with, having risen from the brink of ruin under his


    leadership. But Lillian’s unbridled outbursts were not in line with their legacy.


    With a Heavy sigh, Alex saw Lillian in a new light, recognizing her actions as uneptable.


    “Fly back overseas tomorrow. I’ll have someone watch over you. Your antics need to stop,” he


    instructed sternly.


    Lillian, stung by his rebuke, shot back, “You think I’m the embarrassment? You stood by, watching


    Emma suffer,plicit in our actions. Why are you pointing fingers at me now?”


    Their argument escted, turning into a spectacle for the media vultures circling for a story. Reporters


    captured every word, ready to ster it across headlines.


    Alex, consumed by anger, had never intended harm towards Emma; it was his family’s twisted


    narrative. “I married without intentions of divorce. But how did you fan the mes? Shall Iy it all out?”


    His patience with Emma, eroded by Lillian and Be’s malicious whispers in time past, had reached its


    end. He now saw the folly of their deceit.


    Emma, weary of the family drama, noticed Wayne navigating through the crowd. She quietly excused


    herself, ascending the grand staircase.


    As she climbed, the room buzzed with anticipation. The start of the birthday celebration was imminent.


    Jada and Vi, casting a nce at the feuding siblings, remarked, “This is a celebration,


    not a battleground,” before distancing themselves from the chaos.


    Alex’s tolerance for Lillian had evaporated. “Tomorrow, you leave. No more allowances. Don’t think of


    returning,” he dered. Family ties were secondary to his business principles.


    Lillian, trembling under Alex’s gaze, was shocked by his harshness. Fearing exile, she remained


    silent.


    Wayne, descending the staircase, announced warmly, “Thank you for joining us for my sister’s birthday.


    As the heir to the Smirnoff family, I present to you–Emma.”


    The room fell silent as Maxwell led someone by the hand. It was Emma, her identity a revtion to


    many, especially Alex and Lillian, who watched in utter disbelief.


    Emma, once perceived as distant as the moon, now stood radiant, her true status as the cherished


    Smirnoff heiress unveiled.
