The others watched The others watched as Natalie practically glowed, her unbridled energy making everyoneugh along with her.
"You''re really this happy about the divorce, Natalie?" Luna asked,ughing in disbelief. Most people would be in tears, but Natalie was all smiles.
Natalie slowly looked up, her smile breathtakingly beautiful.
"I am happy. All the pain I''ve endured can finally be put behind me with this divorce."
In her past life, it wasn''t Sebastian who had killed her, but the man Joanna brought with her today.
From his gaze and tone, she could now confirm that the man who had killed her in her previous life was the same one from just now.
Her hatred for Sebastian wasn''t as intense anymore.
Sebastian''s fault in the past was not loving her.
And there''s nothing wrong with not loving someone.
The mistake was her own one-sided devotion.
Sometimes, a woman believes her kindness and gentleness can win over the person she likes.
But now she understood: someone who doesn''t love you will never see your efforts or your good qualities.
Letting each other go was for the best.
With thatyer of hatred gone, she suddenly realized she didn''t despise Sebastian as much.
"Let''s go. Everything here is resolved. Joanna and Mr. Griffith willunch their next counterattack, so you two need to stay sharp."
Luna and Caleb nodded quickly. "Got it, Natalie!"
Natalie said, "To the office!"
Caleb pushed her wheelchair toward the office.
In the building across the street.
Sebastian sat in his wheelchair, watching Natalie''s decisive and efficient style. A ghost of a smile brushed past the fading bruises on his face.
But seeing how happy she was about the divorce, his heart sank. Then, A dark, predatory smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Natalie was celebrating too soon. He had once said that between them, it was a fight to the death.
Sean stood nearby, watching
everything on the video feed. A smile spread across his face at the spectacr scene. "Sithave to say, seeing Joanna and Maxwell Griffith get taken down like that... it was a masterpiece."
"Natalie is incredible. I never dreamed she was this brilliant."
Sebastian onlyposed himself after watching Natalie leave the conference room.
He glided his wheelchair toward the floor-to-ceiling window, staring out at the cityscape. The oppressive, leader sky outside was a perfect reflection of the darkness in his chest. New Year''s was only three days away.
His grandmother had also gone abroad. This year, he would be alone for the holidays again.
He had originally nned to spend the holidays with Natalie to strengthen their rtionship.
But...
Sebastian''s gaze hardened, a
dangerous chill settling in the depths of his eyes. "Sean, find out why Maxwell Griffith looks exactly me Everbis demeanor and gaze are the same."
Sean had been investigating this issue and hade to a conclusion.
"Sir, I''ve been looking into it. There are only two possibilities. The first is stic surgery. The second is that you''re twin brothers."
Sebastian shook his head. "stic surgery is the only thing that makes sense. I don''t have a brother-twin or otherwise. My mother only gave birth to me."
Sean let his imagination run wild.
"Sir, is it possible that Maxwell Griffith was taken away at birth?"
Sebastian shook his head, his tone firm. "Impossible. My mother was only pregnant with me."
Sean was speechless.
He was out of ideas.
He couldn''t think of any other exnation.
After a long silence, Sebastian suddenly said, "Sean, have you ever heard of the Mythic Chimera Biotechnology Consortium?"
Sean froze, his eyes widening in shock. "The Mythic Consortium? You mean that shadow group everyone whispers about in biotech? The ones involved in those... illegal experiments?"
Sebastian nodded. "Yes. Maxwell Griffith might have been ''born'' there. If he has the same genes as me, it would exin why he looks identical, even if we aren''t brothers."
