The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 327

“And after everything you did, if I didn’t step in, there’s no way I could face the board,” Sebastian said, leaning forward, his tone strained.

Reese let out a low, bitter laugh. In the silence of the office, it sounded almost cruel. She straightened, leaning in so their eyes met, her gaze sharp enough to cut through steel. “Sebastian, are you really playing the victim here? Do you expect me to feel sorry for you? Ratcliff Global believed Tara’s lies and went after Ramos Corporation first. They cut off our loans and sent the suppliers after us. What was I supposed to do, just sit here and watch you run my company into the ground?”

First, Ratcliff Global targeted Ramos Corporation. Then Sebastian himself dragged them through the mud with the environmental scandal. Everything she’d done was just to protect what was hers. How did he even have the nerve to stand here and throw accusations at her?

“Reese, I know how much Ramos Corporation means to you. I’d never let it go under,” Sebastian said, sighing like he was the one suffering.

Reese actually laughed, sharp and loud. “Really? Because everything you’ve done has pushed us right to the edge of bankruptcy.”

If Matthew hadn’t stepped in with the money and helped smooth things over, who knew what would have happened to the company by now?

Sebastian looked taken aback. For a second, he had nothing to say. Then he collected himself and his voice turned cold. “It’s pointless to argue about this now. I can make the board back off Ramos Corporation. I can make the environmental investigation disappear.”

“And?” Reese cut him off, her tone calm, like she’d seen this coming a mile away.

“In return, you’ll post a statement online. Say you were wrong about me guaranteeing Leslie’s loan, that you acted without checking the facts, and publicly apologize to Ratcliff Global.” He watched her with total confidence, like he couldn’t imagine her saying no.

“Sebastian, I’m not having another child with you. And we’re getting a divorce. There’s nothing left to talk about.”

“What did you just say?” Sebastian’s body went rigid. He stared at her like he couldn’t believe his ears. “Reese, are you out of your mind? Robbie’s still in the hospital waiting for you to save him. How can you say something like that?”

“He’s waiting for me to save him?” Reese shook her head, her eyes full of scorn. “Sure, you and he both carry the gene for the disease. But has Robbie ever even gotten sick?”

Her words hit Sebastian like a slap, leaving him stunned and speechless.
