Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 532

"Is Maeve's innocence the only thing that matters? Is mine completely worthless?" she thought.

Simon didn't hold back as he shattered her delusion. "Audrey, drawing that comparison just shows how narrow-minded you are. Donovan's reputation might be trash, but he isn't stupid enough to target just anyone. The women he forces into his bed are either aspiring models desperate for a break or gold diggers with zero backing. One wants sex, the other wants money—it's a transactional game. With the Sinclair family's status in Aethelburg, do you honestly think Donovan would dare lay a finger on you?"

When it came to human nature, Simon read between the lines better than anyone.

"Stop constantly playing the victim. Compared to most people, the resources and protection you were born with are staggering."

He didn't want to spell it out any further. He wasn't stupid; he knew exactly why she had set Maeve up. Audrey assumed Maeve was a powerless, naive girl with no connections. She figured that once Donovan set his sights on her, Maeve wouldn't be able to escape. Ruining Maeve was the ultimate goal.

Audrey flushed bright red under his scrutiny. "Boss, while you're busy criticizing my lack of character, have you considered that your role in this game isn't exactly noble either? I know you're interested in Maeve. Maybe you've even developed real feelings for her. But you saw what just happened. She already has another man."

Simon chuckled dismissively. "You've known me long enough to understand how I operate. The harder an experiment is to crack, the more obsessed I become with uncovering its secrets. The harder a woman is to get, the more I'm willing to pay any price to make her mine."

Nevaeh felt triumphant. She had settled the score and delivered a beautiful gift to Donovan. Now, she was eagerly waiting for him to hand over the lucrative endorsement deal he had promised her.

Inside a VIP reception room at Apex Group headquarters, Summer Moon and Aria Lynn couldn't hide their mockery. Summer, widely known as the music industry's most unapologetic rock star, leaned back in her chair. She was dressed in her signature edgy style—leather pants, a cropped leather jacket, short hair, and a row of diamond studs lining her left ear.

"Aria and I are here to sign a contract with Apex Group today," Summer drawled. "What the hell are you doing here, Nevaeh? Crashing the party?"
