Jonah slowly opened his eyes, his gaze firm and indifferent.
"You already know, don't you?"
He had lived for more than half his life; he didn't want it to come to this.
Divorce? At his age, the word divorce was simply embarrassing.
"Take everything from the Summers. It's all yours. Consider it my compensation to you."
Carolina was stunned for a moment before bursting into a sarcastic laugh. She didn't glance at Jonah again, instead shifting her gaze to Chloe.
"Look at me, at my age, I'm getting divorced? Isn't this all her bad luck rubbing off on me?"
"That old hag is beyond redemption!" Kane thought, seething with anger.
Carolina glanced at Kane and sneered, "She's a troublemaker, she'll run you guys into the ground. You better go talk some sense into your brother..."
Kane was fuming. He glanced around, pretending to take a swing at her. Though he usually didn't mind a good fight, he wasn't about to smack an old lady...
A young man picking a fight with an old woman, that was just embarrassing.
Chloe stepped forward, standing in front of Kane. She stared coolly at Carolina, saying,
"If I'm the one causing trouble, is Keira your good luck charm then?"
Carolina sneered, "That's right!"
"On what basis do you say that? Who's the wise guy who told you this?"
Carolina just smirked and kept silent. Too many things had happened that night, and she was deeply affected. But what hit her the hardest was that the man she had relied on all her life had decided to divorce her.
They had been together for decades; she was used to his love and affection.
Even though she had focused all her energy on Pulse Entertainment these past few years, she never thought of separating from him.
They were not newlyweds, they were life partners who had spent decades together! How can they just separate like that?
She had lost all rationality. What had always been her secret was now openly revealed by her.
"The Summers has a daughter, born lucky but homeless, targeted by many, facing numerous hardships, but will eventually rise from adversity..."
Chloe listened quietly, then burst into a cold laugh.
"So, Keira being an illegitimate child means she can't easily enter the Summers, is that what "homeless" means? Being targeted and facing hardships? Because I've often 'bullied' Keira, you think I'm the one hurting her. The last sentence means that Keira will survive this ordeal... Right?"
After analyzing each sentence, Chloe started finding it more absurd. She started to think that those baseless words actually made sense.
Seeing her reaction, Carolina scoffed, "So, you believe it?"
