?Chapter 267:
Pointing at Cecily, he bellowed, “You brainless woman! Are you trying to destroy me? You knew Elena was a Harper but said nothing! I run thepany single-handedly, and when Ie home, I still have to deal with the mess you two create. If you’re tired of livingfortably, feel free to go back to where we started!”
At home, Benjamin had always been patient. For years, he had catered to Cecily’s every demand. Even when she insisted that She not move into the vi, he had yielded, leaving his aging mother behind in the old house.
His words left Cecily both furious and stunned. She shot him a re and shrieked, “What is that supposed to mean? Now that you’re wealthy, you want to get rid of me?”
Rather than acknowledging her fault, she doubled down, and Benjamin’s head throbbed from the escting argument. He was the one who worked tirelessly to provide for her. The designer outfits, luxury handbags, expensive makeup, and gourmet meals—all funded by his efforts. And yet, she had the audacity to challenge him.
The more he dwelled on it, the more his rage mounted. His expression darkened as he said coldly, “Fine. Let’s get a divorce. Without me, you can forget about ying the role of a rich man’s wife!”
Cecily trembled with anger. Her voice turned shrill as she screamed, “You cheated on me, right? Who is she? Don’t think you’re untouchable just because you have money. Those women are only after your wealth. The moment yourpany crumbles, you’ll be nothing! All men are the same—ungrateful and heartless!”
Her fury contorted her face, her eyes burning with resentment.
The sight unsettled Sylvia, who shuddered. “Mom, Dad, please stop fighting…” she pleaded.
But Cecily was too consumed by her emotions to listen. The thought of losing her husband sent her into a frenzy. She lunged at him, shoving him hard while demanding, “Tell me the truth! Do you cheat on me?”
Frustrated, Benjamin shoved her back. Caught off guard, she stumbled and hit the floor. Blinded by anger, he grabbed a porcin vase and hurled it onto the floor. The sound of shattering ss echoed through the room as furniture was knocked over, leaving destruction in its wake.
Only then did Cecily’s rage give way to fear. She shrieked and dodged frantically. Benjamin had spent a fortune on those porcin pieces, and now theyy in ruins. The loss amounted to at least seven million. With the project stalled and thepany bleeding money daily, this only worsened an already dire situation.

As if misfortune wasn’t enough, the Reed family seemed cursed. That very night, Cecily fell ill from the shock. The following morning, as Benjamin was about to leave for work, a falling object struck his head,nding him in the hospital for emergency care. Luckily, it was only a mild concussion.
With him out ofmission, someone had to manage thepany, so Sylvia was forced to step in. However, shecked any business acumen, and the Reed Group was already in shambles.
On her first day, she was met with an outraged crowd of workers. She rushed to the construction site with her team, only to be drenched in a bucket of filth. The foul smell overwhelmed her, and she broke down on the spot. After that humiliating incident, she refused to return to the office under any circumstances.
Darren had vanished, and the Griffiths family turned their backs on them.
Looking pale and unwell, Cecily tried to console her daughter. “Don’t be scared, Sylvia. If you don’t want to go, then don’t. Your father will take care of everything.”
