Tyler Sebastian's arrogance and pride immediately ignited a blaze of anger inside of him, he slowly gazed at Sebastian Tyler and shook his head in bewilderment.

“So what is it going to be Carl Gerald, are you to let your high headedness send Sara, your little sister to the streets?!”

Sebastian Tyler's voice was a bit vehement as he stared at Carl Gerald in anticipation of what he would do next.

The situation was Palpable as Carl Gerald, still deeply worried about Sara's safety, slowly gazed at Tiffany Raymond, disappointment and anger was what reek all over his face.

“Sebastian Tyler…I have told you, yy can't humiliate me into grovelling at your feet and signing those divorce papers…not today and not ever!”

Carl Gerald's voice was laced with an unprecedented level of authority and determination.

“Carl Gerald…I understand that you are doing this to still save our marriage…but let's face it!”

“We are not cut out to be together, Carl Gerald, you and I are worlds apart.”

“I have told you, our marriage was just a way to pay you back for saving my life…but now that I have bigger things to achieve…I'm afraid I can't put up with you!”

“Just cut this shitty show and sign the divorce papers, if it will make you feel any better I have added a twenty million dollars offer to the divorce.”

“Twenty million dollars is a lot of money for a lifetime especially for someone who barely makes two thousand dollars in a whole month!”

“Carl…accept this offer from me, it's the best I can do for you as we go our separate ways.”

Tiffany Raymond's voice was laced with a mixture of mockery and derision as she stared at Carl Gerald before continuing.

“Carl Gerald, you should even be happy now that your mom is dead!”

“You should be glad that she died in that crash with those thugs…now you can manage the little money that you make from your low life jobs!”

“With Mrs Amber Gerald now dead you no longer have to scrape together your daily little savings just to take care of her and her medications.”

“In fact, Carl Gerald, this should be a very big relief to you, at least you would be getting to enjoy the two million dollars that I would be giving you for signing those divorce papers all to yourself!”

“You can spare some money from the twenty million dollars and give your mom a befitting burial, it's the least I can do.”

“Aren't I generous Mr Sebastian?”

Tiffany Raymond's voice was laced with a mixture of humiliation and disrespect for Carl Gerald, her husband as she stared at Sebastian Tyler.

“You are very much generous my dear!”

“Don't mind the fool…if I were you, I wouldn't even give him up to that amount of money!”

Sebastian Tyler's voice was laced with a mixture of derision and mockery as he laughed loudly at Carl Gerald.

Hearing those disdainful words coming from his wife, Carl Gerald was immediately filled with bitterness, anger and disappointment.

He wanted to intervene at least to deliver a loud slap to the face of Sebastian Tyler but he just knew that he had to keep his cool for now.

To Carl Gerald, Tiffany Raymond wasn't just being selfish and unreasonable at the moment, she was being callously indifferent towards his mom's death and this was all that Carl Gerald needed to see so that he could finally decipher the true nature of Tiffany Raymond.

For the first time since they got married, Carl Gerald could now see through the facade that was his wife.

“Carl Gerald! What are you doing staring at us like a mannequin?!”

“If you are not going to sign the divorce papers, then at least stop staring at Mr Sebastian as if you can do anything to him!”

Tiffany Raymond's words were this time more than hurtful before, Carl Gerald slowly took a deep breath.

He slowly bent down and picked up the file, darting a cold and determined gaze at Tiffany Raymond.

“Tiffany I will sign this divorce papers, not because you asked me to do it but because you have just revealed who you truly are to me!”

“Here you go all signed and for the record, you can keep your twenty million dollars to Mr Sebastian Tyler.”

Carl Gerald's voice was laced with a mixture of determination and authority as he spoke.

Tiffany Raymond was stunned to her bone marrow, she had expected Carl Gerald to grovel and beg her to stay.

Her face was etched with a mixture of confusion and bewilderment as she and Sebastian Tyler stared at the man who once almost worshiped her, now turned against her.

“Carl Gerald…I don't believe you really want me gone! Why are you pretending that you can do without me?!”

“You and I know that you can't exist without…”

“Enough Tiffany!”

Carl Gerald's voice was vehement and laced with a mix of anger and determination.

“I don't need you any more Tiffany Raymond, you made it clear to me that you think of me as a worthless piece of trash when you showed up here and asked for a divorce!”

“Well, you got what you wished for!”

Carl Gerald's voice was cold and this time detached, all emotions and feelings that he once had for Tiffany Raymond, his wife, were now all gone completely.

“Carl Gerald! Don't talk to Tiffany Raymond like that, if you weren't less of a may, she wouldn't have divorced you initially!”

“Just take a look at your shoes, were those dug out from the pit some days ago? I know that you work in a construction site but at least, look better than this!”

“Tiffany, this animal doesn't deserve you in any way!”

Sebastian Tyler's voice was laced with a mix of mockery and disdain as he yanked the divorce papers off Carl Gerald's hand.

Taking a deep sigh, Tiffany Raymond walked a bit away from Carl Gerald holding her nose in a manner of mockery and humiliation.

“Carl Gerald, it's over, since you don't want my twenty million dollars, I will keep it!”

“You are the first beggar to defile the saying that a beggar has no choice!”

“It's a pity you wouldn't be joining us at the banquet this afternoon, Mr Rene, the president of Vesta banking corporations has invited me to attend their only members exclusive annual banquet.*

“All thanks to Mr Sebastian Tyler over here, if not for the strings he pulled, I wouldn't have had this lifetime opportunity to finally meet Mr Rene of Vesta Global banking corporations.”

“I know a dunce like you might not about the Neptune Global banking corporations, so let me educate you a bit.”

“The Vesta Global banking corporations is the country's biggest financial institution and rumour has it that they control over ten trillion dollars as a firm.”

“With Mr Sebastian Tyler's help I'm going to secure a whopping sum of ten billion dollars from the bank as investments into the Tiffany Global Group and that will definitely cause an exponential growth in my company.”

“Carl, can you now see why I had to choose Sebastian Tyler over you?”

“Carl Gerald, you are a disgrace to manhood, you are less of a man and more importantly, Sebastian Tyler is everything that you aren't!”

“See you…Never, Carl!”

Tiffany Raymond's voice reeked with derision and humiliation as she held Sebastian Tyler by the hand and the both of them walked out on Carl Gerald.

Carl Gerald just watched Tiffany Raymond pranced away with Sebastian Tyler.

“It's over…Loser!”

Tiffany Raymond's voice was loud and never losing the mockery and humiliation it had for Carl Gerald.

She dragged out her phone and placed it by the side of the golden tray face down.Carl Gerald, though skeptical, decided to flip it over. As he set his eyes on the amount, he almost dropped the phone in shock. It was well over 100 billion dollars and still counting."Carl, is that your account balance?!”Sara also leaned in on Carl as she peered into the phone.She scattered crumbs all over him as she talked with a barely full mouth."Swallow your food before talking, you're a grown up." He scolded, but the expression on his face said otherwise.

She gave a deep bow once she was close enough to Carl Gerald."Miss. Juliet, that was fast..." Carl Gerald tried to be polite to the bowing lady."It's my job to give satisfactory services to my customers." She smiled smugly, standing upright, as though stating the obvious."Miss. Maxxy!" Sara called out to Juliet Marcus. "Thank you for the tea earlier, it was delicious."Juliet Marcus looked around, but seeing no one, she pointed at herself, "Me? Maxxy?"
