Chapter 43 One Last Thing Before Leaving

Sienna didn’t watch any longer.

She deleted the footage that showed her entering the estate, and shut off a few of the surveince cameras.

Once done, she left the castle without looking back.

utside, the sky had darkened into an overcast gloom.

Sienna walked along the roadside, her coat pulled tight, like a lifeless puppet missing its bsoul/b.

Slowly, bthe /bpain inside her faded into something cold and rational.

It was clear–there was only one path forward now.

She had to divorce Matheo.

But not yet

After so many years of marriage, their finances and interests were deeply entangled.

A huge portion of the Ginger family’s assets was now in Matheo’s hands.

In the beginning, the Ginger family had been bhers /balone to manage.

Finished

She had handled every little detail,plex and bexhausting /bas they were–but she had never once felt tired. She’d always known it was her duty to protect and carry the family forward.

But she was still a woman. She’d gone through five pregnancies and births–five.

While she was pregnant, andter btaking /bcare of the children, she couldn’t keep up with family affairs. She had no choice but to hand over some of her authority to Matheo.

Matheo, smart as he was, picked things up fast. He managed it all well, but at the same time, the Ginger family’s internal control began to shift toward him.

That bwas /bwhen he started taking over key decisions.

Back then, she hadn’t thought much of it. She’d even admired him–thought he was capable, that he was helping her.

But now, looking back-+–

That bastard probably nned it from the beginning!

He got her to have all those kids so he could slowly chip away at her power!

While she was stuck being pregnant or raising kids, he used that time to build his reputation within the Ginger family–and seize control of their wealth,

Sienna clenched her jaw in regret.

I’d just had a little more caution with my own husband, I wouldn’t be in this mess…

At this bpoint/b, if they divorced, it wouldn’t be clean. Dividing their assets would be a nightmare.

If she still held everything, she could’ve kicked him out without bblinking /b

But because of her own ign

ignorance, Matheo had taken too much.

Even if she had solid bproof /bof his baffair/b, all he bhad /bto do was shuffle the assets around, and she’d be left powerless…

In the castle’s music room. Emily and Julia were practicing piano. Mathes wandbed through the floor–to–ceiling windows, a sense of peace washing over him

This was the life he wanted

Then suddenly, his phone rang

He nced at the screen and frowned.

An unfamiliar number..

He answered with a nk expression. A woman’s voice came through the speaker, fluent and wing in the local Lasikalnguage

THello, n this Mr. Matheo

Matheo had been abroad long enough to speak thenguage fluently. He switched his name easily. “Yes this is he

His frown deepened

Matheo’s expression darkened. A bad feeling rose in his chest.

“Your wife, Mrs. Sienna, has sold the Rose Estate to me the woman sand cheerfully. I’ve admired this estate for years. When I finally got the chance to buy it, I was thrilled. Your wife said only you lived there, and that if you just packed your things and left. I could move in.

Not only had she sold it–she wanted him out in twenty–four hours?

He looked at the music room. Emily and Julia were still inside,pletely unaware.

If it were just him, sure, he could figure something out. But this wasn’t just bhim. /bIt was the three of them. A family.

What the hell am I supposed to tell Emily

Thoughts raced through his head, his face darkening with every second.

“Mr. Matheo?” the wothan’s voice returned, hesitant. “Are you still there?”

He inhaled deeply, fighting to stay calm.

“Yes,” he said, his voide low and cold.

He hung up–and immediately called Sienna

She picked up on the second ring

“Hello? What is it” Her voice rang out, clear and calm.
