NovelOnline"Have you gone through the news?"
My abrupt question stunned Marius. Looking like he did not understand what | said, he turned to face me
inexplicably, his voice filled with confusion. "What?"
I looked at him. Retrieving the news | had just read, | handed it to him. "Didn't you see it? Grant Corporation no
longer owns the land on Northern Road."
Marius read the news, but there were no obvious changes on his face. "Huh, | see."
It was obvious he already knew about this from his indifferent tone.
My expression changed slightly. | glanced at Marius with a puzzled look. "Judging from your expression, you
already knew about this a long tago. Or is this under both your control?" My frankness stunned Marius, and
there was an obvious tremble in his body.
It was apparent that | had hit the nail on the head.
"Did you argue with Drover because of this?" | asked.

Marius did not answerdirectly, but he lowered his head. | did not know what he was thinking. He shook his
head after a while. "No."
This answer was unexpected to me.
"If you two are behind Northern Road Real Estate, then..."
Before | could finish speaking, Drover returned, and it was obvious he heard what | said just now. His entire body
exuded anger when he walked in, and his serious face was facing me. "Wanda, this has nothing to do with you.
You don't need to interfere."
This sentence again.
His expression was sullen. Drover, who was standing in front ofnow, looked different and was no longer as
gentle and refined as he looked before. This was not the Drover | knew.
My throat bobbed slightly. | opened my mouth and asked, "Why? Why are you doing this?"
He stared atwith a gaze that was firm like a rock, unshakable. "You only need to know that | have to do this.
You don't need to worry about the rest. You and The have divorced anyway, right?"
It felt like my heart had been stabbed with a knife. It hurt so much that | could not speak.
A long tpassed before | said
lightly, "I don't understand. What kind

"I have a reason for this."
"What's the reason?!" | shouted at the top of my voice. Now that it really happened, | could not accept it.
Discomfort poured through my heart. "No, | have to look for Theo."

"Why?!"
"Wanda, you have to remember that you divorced him. Don't interfere with my plans."
| looked at him with red eyes and shook my head. "So, you admit that all this has been part of your plan. saw the
news. It said that the shareholders of Grant Corporation will have a meeting next week
They're going to ctogether and oust Theo. That's your plan too, right?"
He did not say anything. He did not deny it either.
It was an admission.
"| didn't expect you to really be such a person." There was disappointment in my words.
Drover pulledupstairs and pushedinto the room. | tried to open the door, but it would not budge.
"Drover, letout!"
