**Her Spark Ignites Tonight**
By J.S. Caldwell
**Chapter 98**
Jayceon turned his gaze towards the horizon, a weighty tightness coiling around his chest like a vice. The sunset painted the sky in hues of orange and purple, but all he could feel was the impending storm brewing in his heart.
“Next month, the Melendez Corporation will be signing a multi-billion dollar deal with the Hongyu Group,” Sir announced, his voice steady yet laced with authority. “Once that’s concluded, I will personally ensure that a lawyer is arranged to handle the divorce proceedings for these two kids.”
He cast a glance at his son, his expression unreadable yet expectant.
Conrad, ever the dutiful son, quickly pulled out a pen and paper, ready to jot down a receipt as if it were just another mundane transaction.
Oliver stepped forward, his demeanor professional as he reached for the bank cards that were to be exchanged.
But just as Oliver was about to hand the cards to Conrad, Arabella surged forward, snatching them back with a fierce determination that caught everyone off guard.
All eyes turned to Arabella, a mix of surprise and confusion swirling in the room.
“What, having second thoughts?” Sir inquired, his tone dripping with skepticism as he studied her.
Arabella met Sir’s gaze briefly before shifting her focus to Jayceon, her heart racing. In that moment, Jayceon’s deep-set eyes sparkled with a flicker of hope, and he strode toward her, grasping her arm with a firm yet gentle touch.
After three years of marriage, he had an instinctual belief that she couldn’t bear to sever their bond.
“Look, I’ll pay back the principal,” Arabella declared, her voice unwavering yet tinged with desperation, “but not a single cent of interest!”
Jayceon’s expression, which had softened in the warmth of their shared history, began to harden, a chill creeping into his features.
Conrad, sensing the tension, leaned forward, his tone almost condescending. “Do you even grasp how much profit billions can generate in Jay’s hands over three years? The interest alone runs into tens of millions! If we were to calculate the actual amount, the Palmer family wouldn’t be able to bear it!”
Arabella brushed aside Conrad’s words, her resolve unshaken. Standing before Jayceon, her eyes glistened with unshed tears, the weight of her brother’s tuition money pressing heavily on her conscience.
With her lower lip trembling, she confronted Jayceon, “With my looks and body, I could have slept with anyone for three years and made far more than just tens of millions in interest!”
Her face was pale, and her voice cracked with emotion as she continued, “I’ve been with Mr. Melendez for three years. Surely he doesn’t expect me to do this for free, does he?”
