Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 216

**When the Stars Forgot to Return My Wishes 216**
**Chapter 516**

Derek stepped into their path, a determined look on his face. “Hold on a second. You think you can just hit someone and walk away? Not so fast.”

For far too long, he had endured the sting of humiliation, but now, the opportunity to stand tall had finally arrived. He wasn’t about to let this moment slip away without taking a jab at Selena.

Once a proud heiress, she now stood before him, stripped of her former glory, yet still possessing the audacity to meet his gaze with defiance.

She had clearly inflated her ego, forgetting the boundaries that once defined her.

With a careless shove, Selena brushed past Derek, her expression dismissive. “You expect me to apologize to a mistress? As if! Let her get lost, and you too. You’re blocking my view.”

Her eyes narrowed as she considered how long Victor’s patience with these people would endure.

The partnership that Derek had managed to snag with her brother’s assistance had turned out to be a financial disaster, draining millions over the past three years.

Had it not been for her influence, her father would never have agreed to collaborate with them. Both her father and brother had felt the pressure from shareholders to support her, and here was Derek, a freeloading opportunist, strutting around with an air of superiority that he didn’t deserve.

She couldn’t help but wonder how much longer Victor would tolerate the losses before deciding to cut his ties.

Derek was nothing more than a petty opportunist; without her paving the way, he would crumble. She imagined the day when he would be the one left weeping over his failures.

In that moment of distraction, Sophie slyly extended her foot, and before Selena could react, she stumbled. In a desperate attempt to regain her balance, she instinctively reached for Sophie, but the move backfired spectacularly.

Sophie lost her footing and crashed to the ground, Selena landing heavily on top of her.
