His jaw tightened as he flipped through the papers aggressively.
“Don’t you think you’re overreaching, Mrs. Creed?”
He took one slow step closer to her, towering over her with cold arrogance. His lips curled slightly with ridicule.
“You’re the one who asked for a divorce.” He lifted the papers in his hand, lightly waving them in front of her as his eyes darkened. “And now suddenly you want to use money as an excuse to avoid divorcing because you expect me to back out after seeing this amount?”
A dark chuckle left his throat.
“I think you’re seriously overthinking things.”
Amara let out a slow breath, visibly restraining herself. Her eyes briefly closed before opening again, colder this time. Frustration was written clearly across her face.
“Look at what’s written in the documents before talking,” she shot back sharply.
Elias’s brows furrowed slightly.
She lifted one finger and pointed at herself.
“I’mthe one givingyouthe money.”
Her finger moved from herself to his chest, pressing against his chest.
“The five hundred million dollars is for you.”
Her finger pressed harder against his chest before she pulled her hand back elegantly.
“Consider it compensation,” she said calmly, “for living with me for one year as my husband.”
The moment the words left her mouth, silence fell between them.
Elias froze completely. His eyes visibly darkened with disbelief, and his grip on the papers loosened slightly.
Even Felix looked completely stunned, staring at Amara’s retreating figure as though he had suddenly lost the ability to speak.
Amara didn’t wait for a response.
She simply turned around coldly, her heels clicking sharply against the ground as she walked away without looking back. Her long black coat swayed lightly behind her with every step.
Elias remained standing there stiffly, his eyes fixed on her retreating figure in complete disbelief.
He watched as she returned to Jasper, who immediately opened the car door for her. He closed the door carefully behind her before walking around to the driver’s seat.
Elias’s face burned with anger. His jaw clenched hard enough for the muscles to visibly twitch.
Then, without even looking down at the papers in his hand, he let out another cold scoff and casually tossed the documents aside.
Felix reacted quickly and caught them midair before they hit the ground.
“She’s going crazy,” Elias muttered darkly, though his eyes never once left the car. A humorless laugh escaped him.
His expression twisted with irritation.
“Does she really think I won’t divorce her just because she’s throwing these ridiculous tantrums?”
But despite his words, his gaze never moved away from Jasper’s car. He stood there unmoving as the car slowly drove away.
His eyes followed it the entire time.
