Her words made Martin Weiss’s face darken instantly, and his eyes were filled with a chill.
“Shana Nicholls, who do you think you are?”
“Yeah, I’m nothing, but Paisley Daniels and Kyla must have meant something!” Shana Nicholls laughed and said, “Martin Weiss, this is how you’ve hurt one woman after another! You’re hurting me too! If you never intended to divorce Kyla in the first place, why did you force Kyla to divorce you and make me think you didn’t love Kyla? You gave me the wrong impression and made me think I had a chance!”
Martin Weiss snapped, “Shut up! Shana Nicholls, you’ll never have a chance no matter what I decide. I’ve never had any feelings for you. You’re just too greedy!”
“Haha. I’m greedy? What are you, then? A hypocrite?” Shana Nicholls went all out. “Martin Weiss, you still love Kyla but make others think you don’t. How could I have misunderstood if you hadn’t done that? Martin Weiss, you made me do it. You did this!”
Shana Nicholls’s shrill voice rang out in the living room.
Martin Weiss’s expression turned ghastly as he ordered his men to take Shana Nicholls away.
The vast mansion’s living room became quiet again.
It was so quiet that she could almost hear his own heartbeat. Shana Nicholls’s last words echoed almost repeatedly in his head.
‘Martin Weiss, you still love Kyla but make others think you don’t…
‘You still love…
‘No way. There’s no way I still love Kyla! I’ve been hypnotized, and the hypnosis hasn’t been undone, so my dormant feelings haven’t been restored.’
He should not have any feelings for Kyla anymore!
He only had these mood swings because of his memories and the woman he remembered loving!
Martin Weiss gasped for air with difficulty as he pressed one hand on his heart.
Damn it. My heart seems to hurt again. It hurts so much… that I’m almost breathless…’
Kyla had been following the news in L City these days. She was stunned when she read the news of Shana Nicholls’s arrest, which revealed that Shana Nicholls had something to do with the rumors earlier.
However, some parts of the news were vague, so some content must have been inappropriate for public disclosure.
Though Weiss Group’s stock price recovered a bit upon Shana Nicholls’s arrest, it suggested that the rumors had an impact after all.
Despite Shana Nicholls’s arrest, Martin Weiss’s marriage and health continued to draw attention.
However, Weiss Group and Martin Weiss himself said nothing about these.
No media outlet in Emerald City disturbed Kyla. Kyla figured Jason must have helped her out.
Otherwise, she would have been surrounded by paparazzi.
Even so, Nelson Corbyn suddenly asked Kyla after he returned from school one day, “Mommy, are you and Daddy divorced?”
Kyla froze. “Why did you ask that all of a sudden?”
“Someone in class said Daddy is having an affair. Is it true?”
Nelson Corbyn asked.
Kyla did not tell her son she had signed the divorce papers. She was waiting for the right time to tell her son about the divorce.
However… she now knew Martin Weiss had not gone through the divorce procedures.
“It’s not true. Your daddy didn’t have an affair,” said Kyla. Sometimes, her son was so precocious that it made her heart ache. “I’m sorry. I couldn’t stop those rumors. Nelson, I only hope you can ignore them and trust that your daddy is serious about his relationships. He despises such things, so there’s no way he’ll have an affair.”
prer “So will you get a divorce?” Nelson Corbyn asked again.
Kyla hesitated slightly. Looking at her son’s earnest expression, she finally said, “We will. We haven’t divorced, but we’ll probably divorce soon. But even if we’re divorced and Daddy doesn’t live with us, he still loves you.”
Nelson Corbyn’s youthful face seemed disappointed, but then he said, “Mommy, I’ll be on your side no matter what you decide. Even if you lose Daddy, you’ll still have me and Tristas.”
Kyla’s eyes watered as she hugged her son hard. This little child had been her reason to live. Without knowing it, he had become braver and more determined than she was.
After her son fell asleep that night, Kyla fed her daughter. Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Someone was calling her.
However, it was Mrs. Weiss’s voice that came from the phone when she picked it up.
“Is this Kyla?” Mrs. Weiss asked.
“Yes…” Kyla wondered why Mrs. Weiss called her out of the blue. She should be disgusted with her.
“Kyla, I know I wasn’t very nice to you, but Martin doesn’t want to divorce you nor explain anything to the outside world. Weiss Group’s stock price is also fluctuating.
Our rival is deliberately suppressing Weiss Group’s stock price to buy more shares. It’ll be bad for the company if this goes on,” said Mrs. Weiss.
Kyla pressed her lips together. “I’ve already signed the divorce papers, and they’re with Martin Weiss. He can go through the divorce formalities any time he wants. If he refuses to do so, I’m afraid I can’t go through the divorce formalities alone either. Aunt, if you want us to get divorced as soon as possible, you should be calling him, not me.”
Kyla’s tone was indifferent and polite. Mrs. Weiss paused. “I… I don’t want you to get divorced as soon as possible. I hope you can be lovey-
dovey with Martin in front of the media, which will help stabilize Weiss Group’s stock price.
Besides that…”
Mrs. Weiss continued speaking, and Kyla’s expression changed as she went on.
“So, you hope that Martin Weiss and I will be a loving couple in front of the media for now and we’ll talk about the divorce after this is over?” Kyla asked.
“Yeah, you can let us know if you have anything you want. The Weiss family will try our best to give it to you,” said Mrs. Weiss.
Kyla smiled bitterly. ‘Am I only a tool to Mrs. Weiss? She can use me when she needs me and throw me away when she doesn’t.
‘And this time, I’m destined to be thrown away again after being used.’
“Is this Martin Weiss’s idea?” Kyla asked.
Mrs. Weiss said, “Yes, it’s Martin’s idea. Martin almost lost his life for you. We only need you to do such simple things. You won’t say no, will you? Besides, Nelson and Trista can inherit a large family fortune if Weiss Group does well. It’s good for everyone if the Weiss family doesn’t collapse.” Kyla was silent for a long time before saying, “Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
On the other end of the line, Mrs. Weiss was relieved. “Okay, I’ll get back to you. I hope you keep your word.”
After the call ended, Kyla looked at her phone and smiled bitterly.
She did not care whether her two children would get the Weiss family’s fortune. She only hoped they could grow up happily and Martin Weiss could be all right.
Even if they were destined to separate, she still wanted him to be okay for the rest of his life.
Therefore, she would consider it paying him back for saving her life. She was willing to do it if it would be good for him.
However… she thought they would not have anything to do with each other except for their relation to the kids after she signed the divorce papers.
She did not expect them to cross paths again… so soon.
However, so what if people who were destined not to be with each other crossed paths? They would still be like two intersecting lines that intersected briefly before separating further…
Stewart Watson gaped at the stack of information on his desk. He had no idea who put them there, but they were about Rhea Oliver.
The contents were so unsightly that Stewart Watson gasped.
He thought Rhea Oliver was only slightly unruly and conceited, but Rhea Oliver had been with many men before dating him. She even had two abortions in the hospital!
The information included the name of the hospital, the name of the surgeon, and even the exact time of the operations.
Stewart Watson almost could not believe it was true. After all, Rhea Oliver would behave innocently in front of him. She even said he was her first official boyfriend.
Besides that, they had only held hands, hugged, and kissed while they were dating. She said she was conservative and would never cross the line if they were not married. He thought she was chaste after hearing her say that. However, who knew she was only lying to him?
Just then, a servant knocked on the study’s door, walked in, and said to Stewart Watson, “Young Master, Miss Oliver’s here to see you. She said it’s urgent.”
Stewart Watson immediately told the servant to let Rhea Oliver into the study after hearing that.
