All Chapters of Trillonaire Ex-Wife After Divorce : Chapter 21 - Chapter 28

The morning sun streamed through the tall windows of the mansion, casting long shadows across the polished floors as Avery made her way down the grand staircase. Her thoughts were still tangled from the conversation with Shane the night before. Doubts gnawed at her, questions that had no easy answers. She wanted to believe that her father’s intentions were pure, that he truly wanted to make amends before his time ran out. But Shane’s words echoed in her mind like a warning she couldn’t ignore.Her assistant, Justin, was waiting for her by the front door, his usual calm demeanor giving her a sense of steadiness amidst her emotional turmoil. He offered her a polite smile as she approached.“Ready to head to the company, ma’am?” he asked, his voice gentle but professional.Avery nodded, adjusting the strap of her handbag over her shoulder. “Yes, let’s go,” she replied, though her voice sounded distant even to her own ears.As they moved toward the door, something caught Avery’s eye.

The evening sky was awash with hues of deep purple and amber as the party at Star Technologies’ rooftop lounge was in full swing. The event buzzed with energy as CEOs, tech giants, investors, and other high-profile guests mingled, celebrating the success of the GreenWave project launch earlier in the day. Waiters moved gracefully through the crowd, offering champagne and hors d’oeuvres, while soft jazz music played in the background, adding a touch of elegance to the gathering.Avery stood by one of the tall, open windows, a cool breeze brushing against her skin as she sipped her champagne. She was surrounded by a small group of sponsors, all eager to discuss the potential of GreenWave Technologies and how their respective companies could get involved. The evening had been nothing short of a success so far, and she felt a deep sense of pride in how well everything had come together.Across the room, more prominent figures entered the event, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries.

The aftermath of Stephen’s public display hung heavily over the gathering. Avery had made her stance clear, and though the whispers hadn’t fully subsided, she had asserted herself in a way that earned her a degree of respect from those present. However, the tension was far from gone.Stephen stood by the bar, nursing another drink, his mind swirling with frustration. He had hoped his little speech would stir doubts about Avery’s ability to lead, but she had turned the tables on him with her bold response. As he downed his whiskey, his eyes scanned the room until they landed on Shane, standing alone in the corner, watching everything unfold with a brooding expression.An idea sparked in Stephen’s mind. He had always been good at reading people, and Shane’s simmering resentment toward Avery was a tool waiting to be exploited. A cruel smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he made his way toward Shane.“Well, well,” Stephen said, his tone mocking as he approached. “The great Rodrigo

The sounds of laughter and clinking glasses echoed faintly behind them as Avery and Shane stepped out onto the quiet terrace, away from the prying eyes of the guests still reveling inside the party. The cool night air offered a much-needed respite from the tense atmosphere of the evening, and for the first time since the event began, Avery felt she could finally breathe.Shane, standing beside her, let out a long sigh, running a hand through his hair in frustration. His earlier anger had subsided, replaced now by a look of guilt and exhaustion. He leaned against the railing, staring out at the city lights, his shoulders hunched as if the weight of everything was finally catching up to him.“I’m sorry, Avery,” Shane muttered, breaking the silence. His voice was low, but the sincerity in his tone was unmistakable. “I let Stephen get to me. I shouldn’t have let him manipulate me like that.”Avery turned to look at him, her expression softening. She had suspected as much. Stephen had alw
