Chapter 313 Eyeing the Fortune
Enough was enough.

Sienna had reached her limit. There was no longer any need to pretend or y dumb. Sheid all of Matheo’s dirtyundry bare. Every sordid secret spilled without hesitation.
Julia was so shaken by Sienna’s imposing aura that she instinctively retreated a step, shrinking behind Matheo, her shoulders trembling slightly.
But Matheo was not faring much better. His face had turned the color of ash, his spirit drained, and his posture deted like a balloon pricked through the heart.
The truth was out.
He did not know when Sienna had found out. For years, he had believed he had kept everything well hidden.
Still, he had always been mentally prepared. No secret stays buried forever. Since he had made those choices, he had to be ready to face the fallout.
Matheo pressed his lips into a line. His expression gradually leveled out into eerie calm.
There was no use fearing the consequences now. There was no way back.
If he wanted any chance of survival, he had to gamble everything.
His fingers clenched tighter and tighter until his hands balled into fists.
His eyes narrowed, and the panic from earlier melted away, reced by a cold, calcting stare as he looked at Sienna. “So, you’ve known all along?”
Sienna let out a sharp, scornful snort. “Heaven finally opened its eyes and stopped me from being a blind fool in your circus act of lies!”
If it had not been for her daughter’s strange and unexpected ‘inner voice,‘ she might have never snapped out of her deluded, love–struck haze, never peeled away the filter to see Matheo’s true face.
And for that, she was lucky.
“In that case, let’s not beat around the bush anymore.” Matheo’s tone hardened, a gleam of iciness shing in his eyes. “Let’s get a divorce. We’ll divide the assets ording to thew.”
Jean immediately shook her head.
<i>As </i><i>expected</i><i>, </i><i>he’s </i><i>been </i><i>eyeing </i><i>the </i><i>Ginger </i><i>family </i><i>fortune </i><i>this </i><i>whole </i><i>time</i><i>! </i><i>You </i><i>damn </i><i>leech</i><i>! </i><i>You </i><i>think </i><i>you </i><i>can </i><i>walk </i><i>away </i>with <i>even </i><i>a </i><i>thread </i><i>from </i><i>the </i><i>Ginger </i><i>family</i>? <i>Dream </i><i>on</i><i>! </i>
Both Sienna and Matheo heard that intrusive, brutally honest thought at the same time.
Sienna’s lips twitched, nearly breaking intoughter.
Matheo’s expression darkened instantly. His jaw clenched so tightly it seemed his teeth might crack, and he shot a sharp re at Jean.
She met his gaze head–on, not flinching in the slightest.

“As for the family assets,” Sienna said icily, “don’t even think about it. Who the hell do you think is going to split anything with you?”
“It’s not about what you think,” Matheo retorted, now sounding bold and stubborn. “It’s about how thew
rules it.”
Sienna let out a coldugh. “I’ve got plenty of hard evidence proving your infidelity. You’re the one at fault here. Legally, you should walk away with nothing.”
“Do you want me to start spreading all this evidence online and ruin youpletely?” Her voice rose sharply, each word striking with force. “If you know what’s good for you, get lost now! Trying to im a share of the assets? Look at yourself and ask if you’re even worthy!”
Matheo’s expression did not flinch. There was no fear or panic.
On the contrary, he grew calmer. Then, to everyone’s surprise, he actually chuckled. “Go ahead. Spread whatever you want.”
His nonchnt attitude threw Sienna off for a moment.
“I’ve got nothing to fear,” he continued coolly. “It won’t hurt me in the slightest. The high society is full of affairs and mistresses. You think this’ll shock anyone? The most you’ll get is a bit of online outrage. Anyone with real money won’t bat an eye. They’re all used to it.”
Jean nearly apuded him.
<i>Seriously</i><i>, </i><i>teach </i><i>me </i><i>how </i><i>to </i><i>grow </i>skin <i>that </i><i>thick</i><i>! </i>
Matheo gritted his teeth harder, trying his best to block out her maddeningmentary.
Sienna, meanwhile, fell into silence. She had not expected her threat to fall t like that… had not expected that Matheo would not care.
“And even if I am the one who cheated,” Matheo went on, locking eyes with her, his tone steady and sharp, “thew doesn’t require the guilty party to walk away with nothing.”
