"Don't come any closer!" Tessa called out, placing herself firmly between Adam and the advancing bodyguards. She glanced back at him, worry etched across her face. "They’re all highly trained. Adam, you can’t take them on. Just go, I'll try to hold them off."

Adam’s eyes softened, but before he could respond, Henry sneered. "He's not going anywhere. Move in, and if she tries to interfere, feel free to rough her up as well."

The guards exchanged a look before moving forward, their reluctance gone. Tessa paled but held her ground, blocking their path.

Adam felt a surge of determination as he watched her standing up for him. He leaned in and whispered, "Tessa, I’m not leaving you here with them. Trust me."

One of the bodyguards sneered, reaching out to shove Tessa aside. "Step out of the way, lady—"

Before he could finish, Adam’s hand shot out, grabbing the guard’s wrist in a vice grip. A dangerous glint flickered in his eyes as he twisted the man's wrist until a sickening crack echoed t

    Tessa stared at Adam, recalling how he’d known about Wilfred’s injury. It had happened so recently—how could he have known?She finally asked, "Adam, how did you hear about Wilfred being in the hospital?"He met her gaze calmly. "I got the news when I was working at Bulgart Industries. Word travels fast in those circles.""What did you just say? Mr. Wilfred’s in the hospital?" Richard cut in, eyes wide with alarm. "What happened to him?""Apparently, he lost control and ended up cutting off his own hand," Tessa replied quietly."What?" Richard’s face turned pale, mirroring the shock spreading through the Armand family. Even the most reckless person wouldn’t go so far as to sever their own hand.Adam smirked, glancing from one stunned face to the next. "So, don’t expect Mr. Wilfred to show up and ‘teach me a lesson’ anytime soon."Henry clenched his jaw, frustrated but unable to retort. They had brought in every backup they could, but none had managed to stand up to Adam. He looked lik

    "Grandpa, please don’t cut ties with me," Tessa pleaded, tears streaming down her face as she knelt on the floor. The sight of her, vulnerable and desperate, tugged at the corners of her grandfather's heart, but he remained resolute.Gerald’s expression hardened. "You made your choice, Tessa. You wanted to defy this family, and now you must face the consequences.""That’s right, Dad. Tessa just got a bit confused. She didn’t mean any of this," Eleanor interjected, her voice trembling with desperation as she stepped forward. "Give me some time to talk to her. I can help her see reason."Richard, who had been quietly observing, finally piped up, anxiety written all over his face. "Tessa, think about what you’re doing! You’re our only daughter! If you’re cut off from the family, you’ll lose everything. We can’t let that happen."Gerald shook his head, his voice cold and unwavering. "It’s useless for you to beg. She chose this path herself, so don’t blame me for it. If you don’t want her

    Adam was stunned. "Do you regret doing it?"Tessa smiled bitterly. "I don't regret anything as I didn't do anything wrong. Even if I were to get a divorce with you, I wouldn't go back and admit I was wrong.""Since you didn't regret it, why do you still want to get a divorce with me?" Adam asked in confusion."I'm no longer the Armand family's daughter or a CEO. I'm just a normal woman, so you won't benefit from getting together with me. Thus, we should just get a divorce.""Do you think I married you just to benefit myself?""What else? I can't think of any reason other than that," Tessa replied."Have you considered the possibility that I don't like you for your status or money, but for you?" Adam answered with a grin."No way!" Tessa shook her head in disbelief."Why not?"Tessa replied with a smile, "You had a chance to sleep with me, but you didn't. That's why I think you're not interested in me.""Why would you think that? You're the most beautiful woman in Storm City. If I'm no

    The Armand residence was filled with laughter, but the source of the family’s joy was a bitter one. Tessa was gone. She had been officially expelled by Gerald, and now, David’s son, Henry, had assumed her role as CEO. David and his family looked triumphant, their eyes shining with satisfaction as they reveled in their victory.Richard and Eleanor, however, sat at the edge of the room, expressions clouded with worry and frustration. For them, this was no celebration. It felt like a final blow to the family they’d known, as Tessa, despite her mistakes, was still their only daughter.Adding to their joy, Wendy, David and Brenda's daughter, had just returned from studying abroad. She’d even brought back her boyfriend, Mark Woods, the heir to one of Storm City’s elite families.Though Mark had a bit of a notorious reputation, his standing as the sole heir of the Woods family made him a valuable connection. Gerald was elated.Richard and Eleanor, on the other hand, were completely ignored b

    Wilfred's words left the Armand family stunned. They’d expected a confrontation, but his tone was almost… polite.Mark took the chance to step forward, trying to mask his unease. "Mr. Wilfred, you remember me, don’t you? Mark Woods." He forced a confident smile, but inside, he felt a flicker of doubt.Wilfred gave him a nod, though his expression remained unreadable. "Ah, yes. Mr. Woods. I heard you went abroad for your studies. Just returned?"Mark's face lit up, relieved at the warm response. "Yes, I arrived today."Wilfred’s gaze sharpened as he glanced between Mark and the others. "So, are you close to the Armand family now?"Before Mark could answer, Brenda interjected eagerly, “Oh, yes! Mark is my daughter’s boyfriend, and we’re planning an engagement soon.”Brenda could barely contain her excitement, certain now that Wilfred’s polite behavior was due to Mark’s presence. After all, having the heir of one of Storm City's elite families as a son-in-law was something she’d dreamed

    The Armand family was left in stunned silence, trying to make sense of Wilfred’s sudden turn. Just moments ago, he’d been courteous, but now he seemed unhinged.“Mr. Wilfred, you’ve lost it!” Wendy snapped, furious after watching him strike Mark. “How could you hit Mr. Woods?”Wilfred’s gaze sharpened as he backhanded Wendy, sending her stumbling back. “Silence! Mark is nothing to me—a privileged nobody. Who do you think you are, telling me how to act?”Wendy, holding her cheek, glared back. “A moment ago, you were chatting with him like you were friends!”“As if,” Wilfred scoffed, the disgust evident in his voice. “I was only tolerating your presence out of respect for Ms. Tessa.” He paused, casting a steely gaze over each of them. “But now I see this family has made the fatal mistake of crossing her.”Brenda, still aching from her own beating, managed to gasp out, “We thought… we thought we were doing you a favor. Tessa humiliated your son, and you lost your hand because of her. We

    Wendy sneered, "Took you long enough to open the door. I’m going easy on you with just a slap."“You’re crossing the line, Wendy.” Tessa’s voice trembled with anger.“Oh, I’m not even close to done. Pack your trash and get out. This villa belongs to me now,” Wendy said coldly. “You have an hour.”“This is my home. What gives you the right to order me around?” Tessa’s patience was wearing thin. Just because she was kind-hearted didn’t mean she’d let Wendy walk all over her.Meeting Wendy had already been an unpleasant shock. But now, hearing that her cousin was trying to take her home? It was beyond infuriating.Wendy ignored her and clung to Mark’s arm. “Before I explain, let me introduce you to someone. You remember him, don’t you?”“Hello, Ms. Tessa, long time no see,” Mark said with a smirk, eyeing her from head to toe.It had been years since he last saw Tessa, and she looked more stunning than ever. He’d pursued her back then, but she had rejected every advance. Going abroad hadn

    While saying that, Wendy aggressively threw all the clothes out of the wardrobe and onto the floor, stomping on them with glee. Her eyes glinted with satisfaction as she watched Tessa’s face twist in fury."Are you happy now?" Tessa’s voice cracked, her frustration spilling out as tears welled up in her eyes. Anger mixed with disbelief in her chest as she turned around, ready to leave, but Wendy wasn’t finished.“Wait!” Wendy’s voice rang out, sharp and commanding as she grabbed for the Cursed-idol amulet around Tessa’s neck. “This belongs to the Armand family, doesn’t it? Hand it over.”“What are you doing? This is a gift from my husband! It doesn’t belong to you or the Armand family!” Tessa reacted quickly, clutching the pendant and pulling it protectively against her chest. She could leave behind everything else, but she couldn’t let Wendy take this away.The amulet wasn’t just jewelry. It was a reminder of the love Adam had shown her, a symbol of their bond, and though she wasn’t

    Before Brenda could even finish her scream, Adam’s hand struck her face with brutal force.The slap silenced her instantly. Blood sprayed from her mouth as several teeth were knocked loose, scattering across the floor. Brenda spun on her heel before collapsing heavily to the ground, the impact reverberating through the room. She clutched her face, groaning in agony, unable to get up for a long time.Gasps of shock filled the hall.Everyone who didn’t know Adam was frozen in disbelief. They had always seen him as a spineless cripple, someone who endured humiliation without retaliation. The image they had of him was now shattered beyond repair.The sight of him overpowering the Armand family’s bodyguards with ease and ruthlessly disfiguring Wendy had already left them stunned, but this? This was unimaginable. Adam wasn’t just retaliating; he was merciless.Even the guards who had previously grabbed him now hesitated, their confidence shaken.Brenda had suffered the most humiliation.

    Wendy's body hit the ground hard after flying a shocking six feet through the air. A few of her bloodied teeth scattered across the polished floor, a stark and chilling sight. Her face, now swollen and disfigured, bore the unmistakable imprint of Adam’s wrath. She blinked dazedly, her eyes unfocused, as she feebly tried to lift herself off the ground. Each attempt ended with her collapsing back down, unable to summon the strength to stand.Brenda was the first to recover from the shock of what had just happened. Her face twisted with panic as she rushed to her daughter’s side, kneeling beside her trembling form. “Wendy! How are you feeling? Say something!”Wendy winced, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth as she managed to rasp out, “Kill him... Mom, I want him dead!”Her voice was weak, but the venom in her tone was unmistakable. Tears streamed down her face as she clutched at her mother’s arm. “Mom, it hurts... It hurts so much. You have to avenge me.”Brenda’s heart ached a

    At that moment, Adam’s heart felt as if it had been torn to shreds. Every word Tessa had spoken earlier replayed in his mind like a haunting echo, each syllable cutting deeper than the last. It was as though a thousand needles were stabbing him simultaneously, each one a sharp reminder of his perceived failures.Samuel, eager to capitalize on the situation, wasted no time. “Ashford, bring the divorce papers immediately,” he ordered with smug satisfaction.Within minutes, Ashford returned with the papers. The sound of the pen scratching against the document as Tessa signed felt like nails on a chalkboard to Adam. He watched her hands move gracefully, signing her name with an unsettling decisiveness. She didn’t hesitate. She didn’t falter. And when she passed the papers to him, her face betrayed nothing of the storm raging inside her.“I’ll ask you one last time,” Adam said, his voice thick with emotion. “Are you sure you won’t regret this?” His eyes searched hers desperately, hoping fo

    "Even if you refuse, I have a hundred ways to deal with you," Gerald retorted, his voice dripping with venom. His face was flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead as he glared at Adam, who stood unperturbed before him.Adam’s lips curved into a slight smirk. “Doesn’t matter. You still have to do it.”“In that case,” Gerald sneered, his tone turning more menacing, “you can try me.”Adam met his glare with disdainful calmness, his tone cutting through the tense atmosphere like a knife. “Go ahead. I’d like to see how far you can go.”Gerald’s fury boiled over, and his fists clenched tightly. Just as he was about to lash out, Samuel stepped in, placing a firm hand on Gerald’s shoulder. “Let me handle this,” Samuel said, his tone measured but authoritative. He turned to Adam, his expression a mix of pity and condescension. “Adam, listen. If you agree to the divorce, I’ll personally put in some good words for you in front of Mr. Tristan. Maybe, just maybe, he’ll spare you for my sake.”A

    Adam scoffed, his expression full of disdain. "My legs might be broken, but that doesn’t mean some stray like you can push me around." Samuel’s face darkened instantly. His fists clenched, and a dangerous aura radiated from his body. His killing intent was palpable, sending a shiver down the spines of those nearby. "You’re dead!" he snarled, his eyes burning with fury. Just as Samuel was about to make his move, Tessa hurriedly stepped forward, blocking his path. Her heart pounded in fear as she pleaded, "Mr. Samuel, please let him go… for my sake." Samuel turned his sharp gaze on her, his anger shifting toward disbelief. "You two are already divorced! Don’t tell me you still care about this piece of trash?" His voice was laced with irritation. Tessa shook her head rapidly, her expression flustered. "Of course not," she denied. However, a flicker of hesitation flashed in her eyes, betraying her emotions. "But… we were married, after all. And he once saved my life. I can’t just igno

    "I endured everything you people threw my way because of Tessa," Adam said coldly. "But now that we’re divorced, I have nothing to do with the Armand family anymore. I don’t owe you anything, and I certainly don’t have to endure your abuse any longer." His sharp gaze swept over the room, silencing anyone who dared to speak. "What happened to Wendy and her mother is just a warning," Adam continued, his voice steady and threatening. "If any of you dare to mess with me again, I promise your fate will be far worse than theirs." Gerald's face turned red with fury, but beneath his rage, a flicker of fear betrayed him. He clenched his fists, his voice trembling with a mix of terror and indignation. "Adam, stop being so arrogant! You’re nothing but a cripple now. After leaving the Armand family, where else can you go? Back to the streets? At first, I considered sparing you some money, but now? Not a single dime!" Adam smirked, unimpressed. Henry, standing beside Gerald, sneered. "Adam, en
