At that exact moment, Yardley made his absolute final decision.
Scarlett was right. When you realize you're walking into a trap, you cut your losses and run before it destroys you.
Saying the word "divorce" out loud instantly lifted a massive weight off his chest.
Veronica, however, was stunned into silence.
When she finally found her voice, it cracked in a shrill panic.
"Yardley, what... what are you talking about?"
"We just got our marriage license! And you're... you're asking for a divorce right now?!"
"And what do you mean by me dragging you down? Please, have you looked at the state of Flynn Group lately? Compared to Thorne Industries, you're the ones in the gutter! Don't you dare accuse me of dragging you down!"
Her face was chalk-white, her mind spinning in disbelief.
She was arrogant and demanding, yes, but divorcing Yardley hadn't even crossed her mind. His sudden ultimatum threw her into a state of absolute panic.
Yardley stared at her with ice in his veins.
"You think I don't know the exact state Thorne Industries is in?"
"You constantly mock my company, but even at our worst, Flynn Group is still the top real estate titan in Bay City. Our scale and infrastructure can't be rivaled overnight!"
"Yes, I have cash flow problems. Yes, I have internal management issues. But those are fixable!"
"Your company, on the other hand, just stepped on a landmine. Don't tell me you didn't know!"
Veronica's expression faltered.
What did he mean? What landmine?
