Chapter 3
All at once, the hospital room door swung open, and Anya rushed into Nicholas’s arms, her eyes filled with tears.
“Nicholas, what am I going to do? My younger brother just called me and said his company is collapsing, and he desperately needs a lot of money right away. He’s my only brother!”
Nicholas held Anya close, and his thoughts swiftly turned to the company’s finances.
“Briella, how much money does our company have right now?”
“None,” I said coldly.
“What about our personal bank accounts? Is there any money left?”
I gave him a sarcastic look. He actually wanted to use our shared money to help Anya’s brother.
However, all the money had already been put into saving the company.
“I don’t have any money left. I put all of it into the company.”
Anya panicked. “Then what are we going to do? My brother has failed in his business so many times. If he fails again this time, he’ll commit suicide!”
Anya started crying loudly.
Suddenly, she dropped to her knees and begged me.
“Briella, please, I beg you to save my brother.”

“Why are you kneeling? Get up!”
“I can’t help him,” I said.

I was too tired to deal with them, so I yanked the blanket over my head.
“Briella, you can do it! Can you give that deal to my brother? Just sign it over to his company.”
My chest tightened. I never thought Anya could say such shameless words.
“I’m sorry, but that’s not an option. Our company is in serious financial trouble right now.”

Just when we figured this whole ridiculous scene was wrapping up, Nicholas spoke, “Briella, I’m going to talk about giving that deal to Anya’s brother’s company instead.”
“Nicholas, this business is what your parents worked their entire lives for. Without this money, the company will completely fail.”
Nicholas didn’t say anything.
Seeing that he remained silent, Gavin got really worried.
“Mr. Taymor, Ms. Griffith put everything on the line to get this deal. You can’t just hand it over to someone else like this!”
A hint of hesitation flickered in Nicholas’s eyes, but when Anya glanced up at him, he made up his mind.
“Stop talking nonsense. Just sign the deal over to Anya’s brother’s company.”
Hearing his final decision, I burst into laughter.

Anya frequently asked for money from Nicholas, claiming her brother or friends needed to launch businesses.
Over the last few years, he’d taken enormous sums, tens of billions, from the company to give to Anya.
I watched him, lost in this bewildering, love–blinded state.
Finally, I felt completely let down. What I had protected so fiercely was,
to Nicholas, merely a plaything to keep his mistress happy.
I had now fully repaid my debt to the Taymor family.
“Alright then, we’ll get a divorce!” I said.
“Divorce? Have you forgotten how you pleaded with me to marry you?”
A sneer curled on his lips, and his gaze was full of scorn.
“Yes, I once loved you deeply, but I can’t reach your heart. Let’s end our marriage.”
Seeing my earnest expression, Nicholas’s eyes immediately became bloodshot.
“Briella, do you understand what you’re saying? Do you want a divorce? Do you want to restart things with your ex–lover?”
I curved my lips. He was still that immature and couldn’t tell what truly mattered from what didn’t.
I noticed Anya’s slightly swollen stomach, watched her expression shift dramatically, and smiled.
“Anya, are you just gaining weight? Or are you expecting a baby? Who’s the father? It can’t be your child, can it?”

I firmly pressed my fingers into Nicholas’s chest, enjoying the deepening displeasure on both their faces.
I said, “Nicholas, you only have two options, either agree to sign with our company or we get a divorce.
“Since you love her so much, I suggest we get divorced. If you don’t, I’ll definitely accuse you of bigamy, and you’ll spend some years in jail.
“It’s just a shame for the child. With a father in prison, they’d be at a disadvantage right from birth.”
Nicholas was furious, clenching his jaw as he grabbed my shirt collar.
“What you’ve done is unfair. You’ve wronged my family! You’ve wronged my parents, who are no longer with us and treated you so kindly!”
“You’re the one who should apologize to your parents, not me!” I shot back.
“That deal must go to Anya’s brother’s company. You want to divorce me, so you can be with Edward Forget about it! Find another way for Taymor Group!”
I couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.
“Gavin, call Mr. Sinclair and let him know we won’t be signing the deal. I’ll visit him to apologize personally another day.”
When Nicholas heard this, he became enraged, seizing my shirt collar with his big hands.
“You wouldn’t dare!”
I grinned at him in a challenging way, and just as he was about to choke me in his fury, a pair of strong hands gripped his wrists.

“Mr. Taymor, what are you up to?” A mocking voice came from behind Nicholas.
