“But I don’t care about any of that. I only care about you.“]
I searched him on the screen feeling absolutely nothing.
“Knox, you don’t care about me.”
“I do! I swear I do!” he shouted, his voice growing louder as the crowd continued to swell
“Then tell me, when is my birthday?
The screen suddenly went quiet for several seconds.]
“What’s my favorite food?“]
More silence
“What do I do for work? What time do I finish each day? Why did I agree to our marriage arrangement in the first place?”]]
Each question landed like a hammer blow]
Knox’s face grew increasingly pad
1… Wren L…
“You don’t know anything about me.”
I said calmly, each word crystal clear. “Knox, you never cared about me as a person. You only cared about what being Mrs. Riviera could do for your
career.
“That’s not true!” he frantically shook his head. “I really-“]]
Just then, a familiar voice cut through the crowd.
Dahlia pushed through the onlookers, rushing to Knox’s side
“Get up!” she cried, trying to pull him to his feet
“This is all my fault! I’m the one who ruined everything! Please don’t do this–I can’t bear to see you like this!”
Knox’s expression shifted noticeably when he saw Dahlia]
“Dahlia.. what are you doing here?
“Theard you were here“]
Dahlia sobbed dramatically. “Knox, let’s go. Stop begging her. She’ll never forgive you–she doesn’t have you in her heart!”
Through the video, I watched the scene unfold with perfect clarity
Knox hesitated, it was just a few seconds of hesitation, but I saw it clearly.
The moment Dahlia appeared, his attention shifted away from me
His eyes lingered on Dahlia’s face, and he reached out to wipe away her tears|[]
“Dahlia, don’t cry..”
Seeing this, I ended the video call immediately.
Emily, standing nearby, had witnessed the entire exchange
“Ms. Lockhart…”
“Prepare the divorce papers.” I said, turning toward my desk “Deliver them tomorrow.”
“Also, notify the legal department that if Knox doesn’t pay the $80,000,000 in damages to Stellar Studios within a month, we’ll proceed with legal action as per the contract]
“Yes, ma’am.” Emily noted. “Anything else?”
I thought for a moment
“I want a complete audit of every resource Knox has received from our group over the past year.“]]
“Film investments, endorsement arrangements, business partnerships… calculate everything down to the last penny.”
