Chapter 1873
It did not feel like a divorce, more like a group of bandits raiding a village!
The servants thought that Liam, a notorious money-grubber, would jump up in anger and lose his temper.
Unexpectedly, Liam merely said, "Got it."
He looked indifferent as he headed upstairs.
However, his unusual calmness sent a chill down their spines instead.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Liam received a call from Selena as soon as he walked into his empty room.
"Liam, you've been discharged from the hospital and are about to migrate overseas to live out the rest of your days. Shouldn't you hurry up and finalize the divorce?"
Selena mocked him, each word stabbing him in the heart. "There's no point for you to drag it out. The longer you drag, the more I can't control my mouth. If anything got out, it would only make your situation worse."
Liam pulled out a fruit knife from the coffee table, carving words on the expensive table expressionlessly. "Selena, we've been married for many years, and I've never mistreated you in any way. I didn't want to come to this point. I still have feelings for you. Can we discuss the divorce agreement? You're almost stripping me bare. I'm still a son of the Hoffman family; leave me some dignity."
"Pfft, dignity? You're now disabled and have lost your shares and power. A useless person like you should be grateful for being able to live. Do you still need a luxury like dignity?" Selena's tone was full of resentment and disdain. "All these years, I was your wife legally, but you never once looked at me properly. You fooled around outside, treating me like a decoration!
"That's fine, but you hid your azoospermia from me and blamed your infertility on me! You made me bear the brunt of Logan's displeasure for decades and become the laughingstock of all the rich housewives in Savrow. They say that I'm a hen who can't lay eggs!
"Liam, if you weren't from the Hoffman family, do you think I'd marry you?! Without the Hoffman Group, you're worse than a beggar on the street. I've been waiting for this day for too long! Tomorrow afternoon is your final deadline. If you still don't sign the papers, I'll confront Logan. By then, I can't guarantee that I won't say anything detrimental to you."
The call ended.
The room was as silent as a graveyard.
Liam put down the knife without a ripple in his expression, dialing his trusted aide Lewis's number.
"Bring the weapons tonight. Before we leave, I'll meet the old man one more time. It'll be the last time."
After that, he got up and left the room, leaving only the ugly and twisted word on the coffee table that read, "DIE!"
Late at night in the Hoffman residence, Logan was in the study with his secretary, sorting through the assets and shares he held.
"Mr. Hoffman, are you really sure you want to transfer all these to Mr. Ryan?"
His secretary was in disbelief,
confirming Logan's intentions again. "After Mr. Ryan takes hold of these, you're basically handing over the entire Hoffman Group to him."
Logan picked up his signing pen. "Of course I know that. Otherwise, why would I call you here to do this?"
"Mr. Hoffman, the Hoffman Group
your lifetime effort. Without you,
really willing to let go compernets
there's
no Hoffman Group.
"I'm already one foot into the grave. No matter how big my family business is, I can't take it away with me to the afterlife."
Logan smiled bitterly and shook his
head. "Since Ryan threatened me without thinking of the consequences and seriously injured Liam, I've come through. If I cling to power and refuse to let go, making things hard for Ryan, it will only plunge the Hoffman Group into a more chaotic situation and force Ryan to take even more drastic measures."
