Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 646

Benjamin blinked. Was Andres always this brutally honest?

"Unfortunately," Andres continued, "your 'problems' weren't considered problems by the authorities."

Before today, Andres's impression of Benjamin could only be described as abysmal.

When Maeve had hacked into his background as Silver Fox, she had gritted her teeth and sworn to dig up every piece of dirt on him.

The results had left them both stunned.

Against all odds, the seemingly ruthless, villainous Benjamin Bright had spent years secretly safeguarding national security.

Spark Industries controlled a vast array of businesses, including a massive maritime fleet.

As Stramont's economy boomed, neighboring island nations grew increasingly envious.

To sabotage their success, foreign operatives frequently planted radar detection systems along maritime borders to steal classified data.

Spark Industries' fishing vessels had snagged these espionage devices numerous times.

Not only did they turn the tech over to the government, but Benjamin's crews regularly engaged in brutal standoffs with foreign ships on the open water.

Even when threatened with astronomical compensation claims, Benjamin, as the ultimate boss, never once backed down.

Incidents like this occurred constantly, yet Spark Industries never publicized them, never used them for PR, and never asked the government for favors.

Even more astonishing was the fact that throughout his entire ruthless career, Benjamin had never once colluded with a foreign power.

A businessman with such pure, unyielding patriotism was a rare anomaly in the corporate world.

Benjamin caught the underlying tone in Andres's voice. "You're probably wondering why a guy like me hasn't sold out for a quick buck like Leo or Nolan."

Andres didn't answer, but he was undeniably curious.

"I'm not letting Nevaeh Mendoza and Donovan Yarrow's plot against Maeve slide."

Andres glanced back, amused. "Nevaeh is your prized cash cow. You're willing to throw her away?"

"Whether I'm willing depends entirely on who I'm doing it for," Benjamin replied evenly. "Maeve might not be related to me by blood, but she means more to me than a real sister."

"You probably know my family background."

"After my parents died, I had no one left."

"Maeve is the only person in this world I still care about."

"Nevaeh dared to target her, so she better prepare to be completely blacklisted."

"When we get back to Aethelburg, just sit back and watch the show."
