Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 1020

Andres's expression turned instantly glacial.

"I'd advise against making such utterly tasteless jokes, Mrs. Grover."

"I can't speak for the mental stability of others, but I assure you, my mind is perfectly sound."

"The entire city is fully aware of exactly what kind of woman your daughter is."

"Anyone capable of murder and dismemberment isn't crossing the threshold of The White Family. Not in this lifetime."

Faye's face flushed hot, then drained of color entirely.

The man was infuriatingly gorgeous, but his words were laced with sheer arsenic.

He showed a blatant, shocking lack of respect for his elders.

"Mr. White, I'd strongly suggest you mind your tone regarding matters you clearly don't fully understand."

"You accuse Nancy of horrific crimes. Where is your hard evidence?"

"Without concrete proof, those are baseless, slanderous allegations."

"You should be incredibly grateful my family is so forgiving, otherwise, my legal team would already be seizing your assets."

Andres arched an amused, mocking brow.

"So, you invited me here today to debate legal hypotheticals?"

"If I had known this was a courtroom audition, I wouldn't have bothered showing up. You're wasting my time."

"If you want to discuss lawsuits, schedule a meeting with Orca Group's legal department."

Realizing she was losing control of the narrative, Faye quickly pivoted back to her primary agenda.

"You misunderstand," she said smoothly. "I invited you here to discuss formalizing a marriage alliance between our two families."

Andres was reaching for the wine decanter when her words actually registered. He froze, his hand hovering over his empty glass.

A marriage alliance?

Was she actually out of her mind?

"Pooling our resources and sharing the astronomical profits. And the best way to solidify that trust is through marriage."

"Now, I'm well aware you're currently entertaining another woman. Demanding you marry Nancy might seem a bit... inconvenient for her."

"But we operate in the same elite circles. We both understand how the game is truly played."

Faye leaned back, her arrogance rolling off her in suffocating waves.

"I've heard Miss Vance is carrying your child, yet you still haven't offered her a legal ring. I completely understand why."

"The White Family is a centuries-old dynasty. The woman holding the title of your wife must possess an impeccable, powerful pedigree."

"Aside from a pretty face, Maeve has absolutely nothing to offer. Her background is utterly worthless."

"Well, I suppose the Morales family held some minor sway in Aethelburg before their humiliating collapse."

"But now they are entirely bankrupt. Her own father is practically living on the streets."

"A titan like you simply cannot place the daughter of a ruined failure at the head of your empire."
