The shareholders wanted to prevent Spencer from directing his anger onto them. Sure enough, after they spoke up, Spencer's expression became a little less grim.

Suppressing his anger, he said, "Wait for me in the other room."

But Ariana shook her head. "I'm definitely getting a divorce today. Spencer has been unfaithful to our marriage…"

"Ariana, I already told you. Men like to play around. We need to socialize for business, and sometimes, these things happen. It's quite normal."

"No," Ariana said firmly. "That's infidelity. Don't dress up cheating as something so noble."

The same shareholder spoke again, "Ariana, don't be so headstrong. The Lubove family's projects are heavily supported by our company. Divorcing over such a small matter is making a mountain out of a molehill. Stop being unreasonable and just go back."

Spencer fixed his cold eyes on Ariana, but she just shook her head. "I don't care about the company's business. Whatever happens after the divorce will take its na

    Spencer's expression and tone were relatively calm as he spoke. However, those who knew him understood the anger simmering in him.Ariana would definitely suffer in the future. Not only her, but even the Luboves and her friends might suffer the repercussions.In Nordenton, Spencer was a figure at the top of the pyramid. The Ulrich family's enterprises spanned the nation and expanded overseas. Spencer could easily shake the economy in Nordenton.They didn't understand why Ariana would want to provoke someone of such stature.Spencer's gaze bore into Ariana. If looks could kill, she would've been dead by now.His stare was terrifying, but Ariana acted as if she didn't notice. She even boldly placed the divorce papers in front of him and said coldly, "Sign it!"Spencer didn't move. "My lawyer will be in touch with you.""Fine." Ariana nodded. "But remember. I hope you keep your word in front of all these people today. You can't go back on your word now. I expect your lawyer to cont

    Boa chimed in, "Yes! Just call him Gerald like I do! Ari, you know, Gerald was really brave today. After all, there aren't many people who would dare to cross Spencer."Ariana truly felt indebted to Gerald. Besides, she was in a wheelchair the first time they met. Gerald had helped her then.She smiled and said, "Alright, Gerald. Let me toast to you."Gerald downed his glass of wine in one go.Jensen then asked, "Are you going to tell us what your next plans are?"He already knew, but he asked to see if Ariana wanted to share with everyone else.Ariana said, "There's nothing to hide. I might go abroad soon, and I probably won't be back for the next three years."Sienna was stunned. "Three years?"Boa wasn't pleased, either. "I just got back, and now, you're leaving?""I have no choice," Ariana replied. "I need a change of scenery."Gerald added, "Don't worry. I'll go wherever Ari goes. I'll take care of her.""Oh, you're already thinking of taking care of her?" Boa teased. "

    Half an hour later, Jensen dropped Ariana off at the entrance of a restaurant. Spencer was already waiting for her."Make things clear with him." Jensen still felt a bit uneasy. "Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you?""It's fine," Ariana replied. "You don't have to wait for me, either. I'll head back after we're done.""Go on in, then," Jensen said. "Call me if you need anything."Ariana entered the restaurant and found the lobby on the first floor completely empty. Seeing her, the lobby manager hurried over to greet her. "Ms. Lubove, right? Please, follow me upstairs."The second floor was just as quiet.She wondered if Spencer had booked the entire restaurant.The manager led her to the most luxurious private dining room. He then lightly knocked on the door with an air of respect and caution. After hearing a response from inside, the manager pushed the door open and said, "Please go in."Ariana knew that Spencer liked to make a grand show of things, but she had

    Ariana sneered inwardly.Spencer said he wanted to hear the truth.The truth was that she loved him so deeply that even though he was a terrible person, she was still hopelessly in love with him. The reason she wanted a divorce was to prevent herself from continuing to fall deeper.Of course, she couldn't embarrass herself by telling him that."You have someone you like, and you don't even care about making a home with me," Ariana said. "A divorce should suit you just fine. Why are you being so aggressive?""Don't turn the question at me." Spencer tapped the table. "Talk about yourself. Why do you want a divorce?"Ariana was furious. "Spencer, don't tell me you're trying to back out now.""Ariana, you almost tricked me." Spencer stood up and leaned on the table. "You surely know how to play hard to get."Ariana frowned. "What do you mean?""Still denying it?" Spencer picked up an item from the table and moved closer to her. "You don't really want a divorce, do you?"Ariana to

    Spencer's gaze remained cold as he watched Ariana. He said, "What do you think?"Spencer thought she was asking the obvious. He had already made himself clear and mentioned reading her diary earlier.Ariana felt as though a heavy stone had settled on her chest. She felt exposed and stripped bare with no privacy. It was as if she was laid out in front of everyone. The humiliation was more severe than any physical blow."Do you like me?" Spencer leaned closer to her, his hand brushing against her cheek. "You hid your feelings so well. If I hadn't seen the diary, I wouldn't have known…""Spencer…"Ariana closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly. Her voice was choked with emotions, too."Please stop.""You don't want to talk about it?" Spencer pressed closer, lowering his head to her ear. "Why not? How much do you like me? How long have you liked me?"Ariana was already embarrassed. Spencer's words drove her further into disgrace. They weren't a couple who had mutual f

    Spencer gulped. This realization made him lose control of his emotions, but the uneasiness he felt seemed to have disappeared. He reveled in the power to manipulate Ariana as he pleased. He traced his fingers over Ariana's smooth, delicate skin and continued, "So, you're not even playing hard to get, huh? You just can't bear to leave me, can you? Ariana, you've got your comeuppance…"Ariana pushed him away abruptly. However, Spencer wasn't angry. "Did I say something wrong? Your diary was full of affection for me. It really took me by surprise. You never showed it before…""Spencer!" Ariana gritted her teeth. "Since you've read the diary, you should know it's from a long time ago. The so-called affection was nothing more than a fascination with your looks and physique. Ultimately, I liked only your appearance."Ariana had no other recourse. She used this explanation to counter his accusations. "We've been married for over three years. My feelings for you have long since fade

    The divorce process went so smoothly that Ariana found herself questioning reality.Early in the morning, her lawyer was waiting for her at the court. When she saw the revised divorce agreement, she was somewhat surprised. Given that they had signed a prenup, the divorce was relatively straightforward.Despite Spencer's high status and power, he didn't even need to be present for the divorce. Ariana still received the divorce certificate. As she looked at the certificate in her hand, she felt a moment of disorientation.Her phone rang, jolting her back to reality. Without checking the caller ID, she answered.Kieran's raging voice rang out on the other end of the phone, "You've really grown bold! How dare you make decisions about the marriage on your own? If the family business is affected, how will you make it up to me?"Even though Enrique had informed him in advance, saying that the divorce was a private matter between the two of them and instructing him not to blame Ariana, Ki

    Ariana chuckled softly. "Goodbye, Mr. Ulrich."With that, she ended the call, tossed the phone into her bag, and walked away.Spencer stared at his phone in disbelief. "Ariana? Ariana!" She had actually dared to hang up on him. Moreover, he thought the word "goodbye" she had said sounded like she meant goodbye forever.He immediately lost his composure. Gripping his phone tightly, he could barely hold back the urge to throw it against the wall.After taking a few deep breaths, he dialed Connor's number. "Change the welcome dinner for your cousin to tonight. Invite more people. I'm divorced now. It's time to celebrate."Connor was momentarily stunned before asking, "Really? You got the divorce papers?" His voice was full of undisguised excitement. Spencer snapped, "What are you so happy about?""I'm happy for you," Connor quickly replied. "This is good news. It's definitely worth celebrating! Don't worry. My cousin will be there, and I'll invite a few more people!"After en

    Ariana lowered her gaze, her lashes hiding the emotions in her eyes. Spencer could not see them, but he imagined her expression remained as distant as ever."I just want to know if we could still be friends," he continued softly.Ariana paused for several seconds before shaking her head. Spencer's voice was strained with pain as he spoke, "I know it's an inappropriate request, but if we don't try this approach, I might not be able to stop pursuing you." "So you're saying if I don't agree to be friends, you'll keep bothering me?" Ariana finally looked at him directly. "Are you threatening me?"His words reminded her of Zane, who had used the same tactic. She wondered if all men thought this way—when pursuit failed, they would settle for friendship as a consolation prize.Spencer met her gaze. "That's not it. Ari… I'm just asking for your mercy."His eyes were bloodshot with dark circles underneath, clearly showing signs of sleepless nights. Ariana looked away, unable to bear

    Jacob rubbed his temples in frustration. "I've warned you about this. She has a boyfriend now, and they have a kid. If you get involved, what does that make you? The other man?""I know…" Spencer mumbled. "But I love her and can't control these feelings." "Having control is what makes us human," Jacob said firmly. "Losing control makes us no better than animals. You're better than that.""Maybe being an animal would hurt less," Spencer muttered."If that's your attitude, then there's nothing left to discuss." Jacob was getting exasperated with him. "That man isn't right for her!" Spencer burst out, recounting everything that had happened.Jacob shook his head. "They have a child together. What's the point of saying all this now?""He's manipulative and deceitful!" Spencer's voice rose with frustration. "How can Ari be with someone like that? Even if I didn't love her, I couldn't stand by and watch her be with someone so toxic!"Jacob took a deep breath and offered another per

    "Still, he shouldn't have hit anyone!" Ariana sighed as she looked at his face, now swollen and red. "Does it hurt?"Sam's eyes welled up with tears. "Yeah, it hurts like hell..."Spencer stood nearby, his fists clenched tight. For some reason, Sam just made his blood boil, and he wanted nothing more than to punch him again."Mr. Ulrich," Ariana said while supporting Sam. "Let me say this one last time—stay out of my life. Since Sam's willing to let this go, I won't press charges, but if there's a next time, I will call the police."After her warning, Ariana helped Sam inside their house. They both froze in their tracks when they saw Leo standing in the doorway—neither knew how long he had been awake or how much he had heard."Leo," Ariana quickly spoke up. "Go back inside.""Mom, you two go ahead. I'll close the door," Leo responded quietly.Ariana had no choice but to help Sam inside while Leo walked to the doorway and looked up at Spencer. The little boy barely reached Spence

    After that, Sam told Ariana softly, "Go check on Leo. I'll handle this."Wanting no part in this confrontation, Ariana went back inside. Sam closed the door and cracked his knuckles. "Why are you always bothering Ari? She's my girlfriend now, and you should stop.""You're not right for her," Spencer replied coldly."Are you?" Sam raised an eyebrow. "I'm younger, more devoted, and I'd never hurt her or flirt with another woman. What makes you think you're better?""This is between Ari and me. It doesn't concern you.""It doesn't concern me? Or you just can't think of a response? Did I hit a nerve? I guess getting older really does make people shameless.""Don't get cocky. You're not Ari's type at all."Sam leaned in closer, lowering his voice. "That's where you're wrong. Ari loves everything about me, especially my young body..."Before he could finish, Spencer threw down the food container and swung at him. Sam, anticipating the move, dodged quickly. Before long, the two me

    Boa quickly called Ariana back and reported, "It's not Zane.""Then, it must have been Spencer," Ariana concluded."That obsessive jerk!" Boa exclaimed. "He just won't give up!"Ariana asked, "Boey, since Rowan and Zane are close, could you tell Rowan to let Zane know that nothing will ever happen between us?"Boa sighed. "I already told him, but I'll emphasize it to him again. By the way, when are you heading to Orkney? I want to pick up Leo!""Tomorrow afternoon," Ariana replied. "But don't worry about picking him up—he's coming with me."When Ariana hung up, she found Leo watching her expectantly. He jumped into her arms as soon as she put down her phone. "Mom, are you done? Can you play with me now?"Ariana's heart melted. "Of course, baby. What would you like to play?""Let's play house!" Leo's eyes sparkled. "You be the mommy, and I'll be the baby, and you have to carry me!""Alright." Ariana laughed, scooping him up."No, not like that," Leo directed. "Carry me like

    Dennis could not help glancing in the rearview mirror at that comment. Meanwhile, Ariana looked at Sam and blurted out, "Marriage? Did you forget what we agreed on?""I remember," Sam replied. "But with your ex-husband and that Zane guy, we've got our work cut out. I'm worried they'll figure things out. Maybe we should turn this act into reality."Ariana shook her head firmly. "I'm sorry, but I can't do that. You're already doing me a huge favor by helping. Marriage is sacred, and when you find someone you truly love—" "But Ari, you're the one I love! I want to marry you!" Sam interrupted."Sam, you're still young..." Ariana smiled gently.Sam protested, "I'm not that young! You always use that excuse, but you're only five years older than me!"Before Ariana could respond, Dennis chimed in from the front seat, "There's an old saying—you can't force love. Sam, if you really care for her, win her heart properly and make her say yes to you. This isn't the way." "You sound like

    Ariana smiled politely. "That really won't be necessary. Don't put yourself through that, Mr. Marshall. You're quite the catch, and I'm certainly not worthy. If you'll excuse me, they're waiting for me."With that, Ariana turned and headed downstairs, where Sam was leaning casually against the car, waiting for her. Even though he and Dennis knew each other, they did not get along well, so Sam stepped out of the car to wait.Being a handsome foreigner with striking features and bright blue eyes, Sam naturally drew admiring glances from passersby. He was used to the attention, but suddenly, his gaze fixed on someone watching him with unmistakable hostility.He quickly realized it was the same guy from the airport yesterday, who had tried to block their path but was completely ignored by Ariana. Sam met Spencer's gaze with calm confidence and the natural arrogance of someone who knew they had won. As far as he was concerned, Spencer was the defeated rival—someone who did not stand a

    "That jerk..." Boa muttered under her breath before turning to Leo with a bright smile. "Leo, I'm going to treat you to something yummy!""Thank you, Aunt Boa," Leo replied with a blank face."Come on. Give me a smile," Boa cooed, pinching his cheek. "Oh, my goodness! You're just too cute!"Leo responded by burying his face in Ariana's shoulder. Jensen rushed to join them after finishing his surgery, making it a lively meal with five adults and one child. Leo only showed his bright smile when interacting with Ariana, maintaining his composed expression with everyone else.However, his stoic demeanor only encouraged Boa to tease him more, filling the dinner with laughter and joy. After that, Rowan arrived to pick up Boa, accompanied by Zane. By then, Leo was fighting to stay awake after his long flight and emotional reunion.He managed to open his eyes briefly to look at the two tall men before drifting off on Ariana's shoulder. Though the glimpse was quick, it was enough for

    "Me, too!" Sienna exclaimed, and Ariana could not help but laugh at her precious son's perfect little face, now adorned with two lipstick marks.Even though Leo felt that he was too grown up to be carried, he had not seen Ariana in so long that he did not want to leave her arms. Just this once, he decided to indulge himself and enjoy the comfort of her embrace.As the group walked toward the exit, sharing laughs, Ariana suddenly stopped in her tracks. The others paused, confused."What's wrong? Why did you stop…" Boa's voice trailed off as she spotted the man standing ahead of them.It was Spencer, his eyes fixed intently on the child in Ariana's arms. Now, Boa understood why Ariana had been so confident that Spencer would not question Leo's parentage. With those bright blue eyes matching Sam's, there was no way Spencer would suspect Leo was his.Boa thought it was a brilliant plan, and she looked at Spencer smugly. On the other hand, Leo glanced at Spencer before resting obed
