But even if he died, he still didn’t want to let go. He wanted to take pie with him.
He couldn’t live without me–not even when he was suffering, and especially not now,
I frowned. “Are you trying to disregand the agreement and force in to see you?
My agreement with Irvin wasn’t just a verbal promise. He couldn’t go back on his word whenever he pleased.

Our agreement was legally binding. If he broke his promise, I could take him to court. With the divorce agreement in hand, the court would grant the divorce and divide the assets according to what was stated in it.
He would leave the marriage with nothing!
Irvin saw my determination to sue him and the disgust in my gaze. There was no trace of the love I once had for him
I
The despair in his eyes slowly turned into rage. No matter what, he just couldn’t accept that I stopped loving him.
And I stopped loving g him without hesitation. There were no lingering feelings or pain
He was indeed in the wrong. But was he really so unforgivable?
How could I be so cruel?
“If you sue me, we’ll get divorced,” he said, his voice hollow. “I will comply with the agreement and leave with nothing. But..”
The way he said “but” made my heart clench.
I didn’t know why, but I suddenly recalled Julianne’s words from before.
“You don’t seriously believe Irvin has transferred all his assets to you, do you? Do you honestly believe he would do so just to get you back?”
If it wasn’t to make me stay, was it to hann me?
Just as I had that thought, I heard him say, “But, Emi… I’ll get a new company, and you’ll only get debts that you can never repay.
Irvin continued, “You might not know this, but the Sawyer Corporation is nothing but a shell company on the verge of bankruptcy. By transferring all my shares to you, you’ll become the largest shareholder and bear full responsibility.
“Once we divorce, Sawyer Corporation will go bankrupt, and you have to pay all the debts.
At that moment, Irvin tore off his mask. His remorse and his love for me were fake. He only pretended he was willing to give up everything for me.

He revealed his true self, that of a manipulative businessman.
I was stunned for a second before 1 widened my eyes in shock 1 had never imagined that his act of giving me all his assets was a

The Sawyer Corporation, which used to be the industry giant, was now nothing more than an empty shell
I stared at him in disbelief.
I couldn’t believe how he had managed to put on such a convincing act. He made it seem as if he was truly willing to sacrifice everything just to win me back
There was no way I could have known that his so–called sincerity was just a trap!
It was a trap to destroy me.

But Thad never imagined that I was the one who had been ruined.
I had failed to make him leave the marriage with nothing. Instead, was the one who was left penniless and drowning in debt
My so–called victory had been nothing but a joke from the very beginning
He was terrifying! He actually hid his scheming behind his mask of love.
“Emi, please don’t look at me like that.”
Irvin calmed down from his rage, returning to his sincere and loving self. He couldn’t bear to see me looking at him that way.
“Emi, I don’t want to hurt you, and I never will. I just… I just don’t want to divorce you. wanted was to be with me forever.
